Alabama Girls in Swimming.

in swimming?'

"No, never-did you |"
ayes, and such a look ! never
expect to see again. They beat
mermaids out ofsight.
81 expect so; but where did you
obtain your knowledge ~
"YOu know Miss Dusenbury, OF
Strawberry Hilll Yes, OF course,
you do. Well, the other day she
had company, fourteen samples OF
dimlty that would have infused en-
thusiasm into the head of an an
chorite. Among the number were
Sally Jones and Becky Jocelyn.
Well, after tea, Sally-beautlful
creature proposed to 60 bathing.
You may want to know how heard
that. | listened through the key
hole. The girls jumped at the idea,
and as soon as the tea things were
wiped, on went bonnets and rib
bOns, and away went the whole
fourteen in pursuit of Cloverdale
Lake. where the immersion was to
take place. The right was taken
by Sally Jones. / think | have
mentioned her name before. Beau
tiful creature, lips like cherries and
breast that would do honor to an
October partridge"
"Well, what has all that got to do
with the storyg That fourteen good
looking girls went swimming l can
under-s tand-nOthing is more rea-
sonable. But how came you TO see
them9 That's the question"
Bob, having said this, sucked
his cigar ana looked as if he had
got a certain gentleman in q guam
Diary.
"Don't be impatient, my friend,
and will divulge all. The mo-
ment the girls left the house ! got
an old frock and a cast-Off bonnet.
| dressed myself in these, disguised
my looks with little false hair,
stole a market basket half full OF
apples and started down the road,
looking for all the world like Biddy
McShane, the peddler, who resides
in the neighborhood OF The hill.D
"Well, go on"
"Keep cool and will. Having
equipped myself to my liking, |
left the road and struck out for the
lake through a short cut h a t
brought me to its margin lust as
the girls had taken their first
plunge. Great Venus, what sight!
Don't ask me to apostrophize. No
language can adequately express
my feeling. In the centre of the
maids was Sally Jones, a glowing
ruby in a basin of liquefed moon-
light
"Were they all in y
"All in but two, and they about
to undress, but they were fearful
some men would come along and
frighten them. | assured them
that there was no danger, that all
the men were busy in hay and
harvesting while all the boys were
off at school at the neighboring vii
lage."
"Did this induce them to take
the plunge"
"On one condition."
"And what was that ~
"That would hold their cloth
ing and help to pin mp when they
came ont of the lake"
GAnd YOU of course consented p
"No, sir NV modesty wouldn't

The scene closed with prolonged
whistle from Bob. Whether this
indicated doubt or satisfaction we
have never been able to ascertain.

THE GOOD TIMES COMING.

Grandma Golf said a curious thing
"Boys may whistle but girls must sing"
That's the very thing heard her say
To Kate, no longer than yesterday.
"Boys may whistlew OF course they may,
If they pucker their lips in the proper
way.
BIT for the life of me | can't see
Why Kate can't whistle as well as me.
"Boys may whistle but girls must sings :"
Now | call that curious thing.
If boys can whistle why can't girls, too "
It's the easiest thing in the world to do.
First you do that then you do this
Just like you were fixing up for kiss.
It's a very poor girl, that's all say,
Who can't make out to do that way.
"Boys may whistle" but girls may not
A Whistles a song with the noise knocked
ont,
Strayed of somewhere down the throat,
Everything lost but the changeful note.
So, if BOYS may whistle and do it well,
Why cannot girls, will somebody tell ?
Why can't they do what boy can do :
That is the thing should like to know.
! went to father and asked him why
Girls couldn't whistle as well as
And he said, "The reason that girls must
slug
Is because a girps a singular thing
And grandma laughed till | knew she'd
ache,
When / said | thought it all mistake.
"Neyer mind, little man." heard her say,
"They will make you whistle enough some
day.
