Kissed BY Soft Airs.

A beautiful West Side girl sat upon
the piazza of her fathers brown-stone
front with all modern improvements,
including hot and cold gas in every
room. The piazza was shaded by thickly
growing vines, through which the moon
shone with refulgent rays, for it had
been full for several nights. Beside her
was young Clay Pendleton Bufford, son
of Colonel Bufford, one of the wealthiest
cigar planters of Virginia. GLOW sweet
the night isl'' she murmurred, ''and
how l love TO sit here and be kissed by
the soft airs from the South!" A sound
as if a drove Of cows meanderingithrough
a swamp smote the evening Stiffness.
and when the fair but West Side Girl
recovered consciousness she realized that
she had been kissed-actually kissed
by a man. Her whole nature rebeled
against the deed, and with her face
aglow and flushing eyes She bestowed
upon him the bitter satirical rebuke:
you ought to be ashamed of Yourself. y
''IIow could l help itSn reioined the
young Virginlan. Gam | not a soft
heir from the South!'' She admitted
that he was.

THE greatest value of the prepotent
power of the jersey when crossed with
