TllE uuGGING-BUGGY.
The other afternoon as two gentlemen,
well known In this city, were coming in
from the direction of White Rock, they
suddenly came upon IA buggy standing in
the road. The occupants of the vehicle
were ayOung lady andayoung gentleman,
the latter being well known in Dallas So
ciety circles, The young lady was not
recognized by either of the two gentle
men mentioned. The young mans arms
were tightly locked around the graceful
form of his fair companion, and he was
showcring the kisses of first
or second hand love upon
her uptuncd face. So intent were the
Young folks upon their gum-sucking
match that they failed to observe the
presence of witnesses until they We're
right up ON them, so to speak. Then the
/ young lady saw them, aud calling her
companions attention to them, he
quickly caught up the rcins, turned the
horses head DallnSwardS and drove rap
idly towards the city, Before reaching
the city they were passed by the gentle
men who interrupted them, and, to the
! credit of the lady he 1t said, she hid her
face with her hand SO that II could not be
seen, They recognized the young man.
This is true, and 1t is written
for the purpose of warning the
parents of young ladies to exercise
greater caution and prudence in the mat.

, folks of this city aud of all other cities
! perhaps are in the habit of driving out in
the evenings, remaining sometimes until
far into the night. Many of the buggles

of average size must sit together IN Il
manner that is a disgrace to decency
shocking to modcsty and would not be
