Retort From a Young Lady.

At 10 o'clock on Thursday evening
an omnibus was rumbling down Fifth
avenue. A handsome young lady, mod
estly attired, sat near the door. As the
vehicle passed the Hotel Brunswick a
man with white hat, diamond studs
and gray side-whiskers, caught sight OF
the pretty face. He entered the omni-
bus and sat down at the side of the
young lady. After paying his fare he
hummed ''Sweet Violets," and tried to
attract her attention. Wrapt in her
own contemplations, she gazed at the
stately residences on the avenue, I'M
mindful of her surroundings. Suddenly
she felt the tips of the gray whiskers on
her cheeks. Are you cold, Miss?''
their owner said.
"0h, no. was the modest reply.
"Are your ears coldPn
Certainly not the man replied.
But why do you askP''
because you evidently want them
warmed, =" she answered.
The only other occupant of the stage
laughed outright at the cutting re-
tort. The bearded man flushed
and pulled the strap. He got out in
some haste, and the stage rumbled
onward, while the young lady re-
sumed her CONCENTRATIONS. -Neac York
