Tue Columbus (O.) Sunday Capital con.
taigs the following story, which may prove
of interest to certain denizsns of Indiana's
capital city:
Here is q story illustrating the supreme
idiecy of women who imagine that they,
at lsast, may indulge in questionable amuse-
meats without being found out, no matter
how other female fools may be picked up.
A Capital reporter was riding on q High
street car last Monday night, on his way up
town. 1t was late, about IL o'clock-about
the time, in fact that the night train comes
in fom Indianapolis. He observed among
they people who had just come in on the
trafn. two couples, apparently having q pic
nic;of their own, without caring much for
expenses. Their actions excited suspicion
in his mind that things were not exactly in
accordance with the requirements of strict
mo.Rlity, and as consequence, he became
moke observant. As the car proceeded on
its aouthwaTd journey he become satisfied
tbaf, whatever might be their relations, the
strange men were not the husbands of the
strange women, though seemingly on very
intimate terms.
Tae women were both young, good looking
and we'll dressed. To the men the reporter
did not pay so much attention, but he saw
amepg the passengers gentleman who, he
thonght, might tell him something, and as
bis curiosity was by this time quite wrought
up, he inquired of this gentleman if he
knew the parties.
We'll yes" was the reply.
Who are they and where are they from?"
"rhey are from Indianapolis. The men
are not the husbands of the women, bat the
wo.len are married all the same"
All see. Out having fun with the
boyA"
;'ssxsctly-married women out on lark
That's Just it,"
Tae reporter pushed his Investigations no
further, out dropped off at Town street,
leaving the festive Hocsier danes and their
con penions on the Car.
A.dsy or SO afterward the reporter met his
frieId and incidently referred to the merry
Gusstette of Monday night, Iemarking that
he SoJad like to know where they went.
They went" said the knowing one. ITO
M0Ind street, whers they got Off and crossed
oves to Third. They went down Third to
BroAd, and in Broad to the Gardner House,
who're they applied for rooms, bat the hotel
was full. and they passed on to a hotel on
High street, where they staid the remainder
of toe night, going back to Indianapolis
Tuesday morning"
"Apd the women, l suppose, had some
plausible lie to tell their husbands as to
where they had spent the night?"
"0f course
On Friday morning, as q matter of curios-
ity, the reporter went to the hotel aud ex-
amined the register on Monday. There were
but. two double entriss-that ia to say,
John Doe and wife, Richard Roe and
wlfe"-only these were not the Dsmes-one
couple registered from Logansport aod the
other from Greencasile. Both entries were
made by the same hand. The reporter has
the names, bat does not propose TO give
them.s They are probably fictitious any
way.
If this should meet the eyes OF either Of
the festive parties, they may be induced to
reflect that larks like these are sure TO be
found out sooner or later; and, thus reflect
ing break off from their evil WAYS.
Those women ought to know that discov-
cry means for them nothing less than social
damnation in this life, even If they have no
fear of the more terrible punishment that
awaits them ia the next, whether detected
or not.
What Indianapolis wives were missing
from home Monday night?
