THE BAD BOY.

came in yawning, with a wilted b~utton'hole
bouquet in his lapel, and some insect pow
der en- the collar Of his coat.
"Yes," said the boy, as he got on the
counter and curled up beside the cheese
box, with his head on q pile Of wrapping
paper, to 90 to sleep. I'VE take in all the
bio society affairs, my girl and do. tell
YOU that ball was the biggest thing ever held
In this country. Five thousand people
dancing at once. Think ofthat, old man.
| am proud to have come out in society IN
der such favorable auspices" and the boy
looked like O veteran in everything except
size.
20, give us q rest about auspices, you
Young dude. 1t would have been more to
Your credit to have kept an eye on your
father, and not let him make a spectacle OF
himself, as | understand he did. Why
didn't you stay by him and steer HIM
through And the grOceryman pulled the
wrapping paper from out under the boys
head, and let his head strike the counter
with o dull thud.
20, pa makes me tired" said the boy, as
he rubbed his head. You see, pa is one
of them old.time dancers, a 'hopper,uP.
BE used to 90 to dances and dance every
act spd lump - and down till his hesd
struck the chandeliers, and he would grab
mis- PARTNER and swing her till her heels
would crack together, and he would hop
and skip, and jump up and twist his legs
around each other, and perspire and mop
his forehead with a handkerchief, and
when he would alamsud left he would
Jerk a girls arm out of joint, and when ne
would sashay be would be liable to break
ribs, step on dresses, throw his partner down
and walk over her. That used to be the
STYLE when pa was young, but it Is different
now. People dance easier, and don't plans
their boots down on the floor like a PLe
| driver, and dance break downs. 1t USED 20
be the style for a q to engage partners
| ior eyery dance early in the evening. That
might work we'll in a small hall where you
| can see ali the ladies at q glance, but IN a
| binding that covers q whole block, with so
| many people, and so many places to get
.ost, Il can't be done. But pa got his pro
prsmme full at the first inning, and after he
| danced with ma the first time be began to
hump himself to iiud bis second partner,

looked at his programme and asked NJ: II /
had seen a woman with a sort Of = brini'e
dress on, cut low in tie iastcp in front, ani
| told him | SOW such d lady go up in the
gallery toward the big organ, and pa run
! over a couple Of soldiers with girls, and
after running about q block he iouud the
brindle dress, but it was cut high IN the
neck and wasn't the one he had engaged,
and when he came back the dance was 60
ing on and he was left. lie saw a lady in
one of the sets with a brindle dress on and
be got near her and looked offended; and
he glared at her until one Of the guards or
deed him to get out Of the way. BY the
time the dance was over he began 10 think
of hunting his partner for the next, and as
he started out looking for the white dress ne
remembered she wore, be ran against the
brindle dress lady, and she was angry be-
cause he had engaged her and then lett her
sitting alone during the dance. Pa tried to
explain that he walked more than q mile to
find her, and tkey compromised by agreeing
10 dance the next time. That left out the
lady in white that he was engaged to, and
thought | would make it pleasant Tor pa,
so | told him the husband OF the lady in
white. who was o soldier, was looking tor
him, for insulting his wife, by engaging her
to dance and then going back on her, and
that he wanted gore. Pa was scared
and he went away off to the opposite corner
of the exhibition building to form on for the
dance, away from the sanguinary soldier
when, lust as the music was about to start
up, Q soldier came and claimed the
lady in the brindle dress, and took
her away from pa. Then il
was too late to 90 and find the lady in
white, and pa got ratified. He didn't dare
show up and face any Of those he had gone
back on, so he scratched out the first three
on the programme and concluded to com
mence on the fourth, and he got a fireman
and a policeman to help him find her. They
found that she had gone to supper, and pa
could not get in, so he waited by the door til
she came out, and by that time the dance
was over, and he went looking for number
FIVE, and after finding the man who danced
With her last, he learned that she bal gons
home. Well, pa was hot. lie came t6

from s~pring.halt, and he vent OF to the
smoking room, where | found him about
a. m, behind a screen telling some Of the
fellows what a nice time he had. ., |
guess pa enjoyed himself, though he didn'
have q chance to squeeze anybody's hands
tillthe bones of the fingers would crack. as
he used to do. He said he walked about
eighteen miles hunting for partners, and he
never enioyed himself 80 we'll before, but
he locks scared when he meets any gentle
man friend of the dozen ladies he had on
his programme, whom he couldn't find with.
out a detective, otherwise pa is well,
thanks and the boy went out yawning.
A Remarkable Case.
Mrs. Henry Ellis, 500 Scott street, Mil
