A Louisville girl who was visiting here
a short time ago scored q signal triumph
over fresh young society man of this
city. They were sitting upon a sofa to-
gether and as the conversation progress

down until he had it around her waist.
She arose very indignant and he made
the following explanation and apology:

this. 1t is just way have. All the
Memphis boys act the same and you will
have to get used to it. hope you will
nRt take any offense at it, as it's just my
way"
She left the room, but came back in a
few minutes with a married friend and
sat down on the sofa again. Soon she
began to yawn and give every ostensible
proof of being thoroughly bored. Fin
ally she said: "I'm dreadfully sleepy
and ! hope you'll go home. You mustn't
