The Girl who Kicked the Cigarette out
of the Young Mans Mouth

.
of the Young Mans Mouth.
II there is anything the wicked New
Workers take delight IN it is the annual
French ball, and Thursday nights event
was therefore an object of interest to the
entire village. This is the way tho New
York Press describes IT,
Al midnight the great hall was brilliantly
lighted, the damsels were briliantlydrcssed
although there may have been lack Of
costume, and the young men were brilliant
enough IN conversation, although much of
the rernrlee ceased to be applauded in po-
lite society after the Fourteenth century.
Every one danced. II was few minutes
after midnight when one fair one, whose
yellow iresscs fluttered beneath her blue
silk tuibnn, came dancing out on her toes
from one corner of the ballroom. An agile
young man danced gaily up to her. The
smoke from his cigarette was shot out In
pufls The way locomotive about to start
shoots out steam. The yellow-haired girl
came nearer; there was mischief in her eyes
and rapidity in her feet. 70 relieve the mo-
notony OF ordinary dancing she playfully
kicked her blue turban now and again, and
although some people thought her feet
would go so high they never would get
down again, che always seemed TO be dane
ing merrily on her toes. They approached
within three feet, then again the blue stock
irgs shot upward and the young mans Gig
arctic sailed away. A second later tho
young man had captured the owner OF the
blue stockings, aud they danced away TO
chicken troqucts and sparkling wine, and
the trail OF smoke behind seemed to indi-
cate that the girl with the yellow hair had
become the possessor OF the cigarette.
over In box there were two merry young
women sitting and one young man. One OF
the young women had her feet dangling
carelessly over the box.
Take your feet down, Mabel,n said her
companion. mo lady keeps her feet as
'Ob yes they do was the answer.
There's Lottic across the way; Just look ut
her feet"
But she isn't a lady," said the first
"oh, isn't she f''' said Mabel. "well, IL
You don't think she is, go and tell her SO.
wouldn't care to-"
There, was one dancer DRESSED to repre-
sent fairy queen. She held glass of
wine, looked at 1t dreamily for a moment,
and said: %. .l...
"Dear me; here am Fairy queen to-
night and to-morrow-well, 1 wish my
wand would work magic and pay my
board bill.n
worrying over your board bills What
nohhehbe, elhculnteu n queen EllZabeth,
WHO was putting ont smoke rings. "Never
worry about the future, my dear, for re-
member, as u friend of mine said to me two
years ago, that It is the mystery of to-mor-
row which gives to life its charm and fasci-
nation to-day. Have cigarette, dear ?"
But the ball went on as merIily as French
balls go, and in the morning only the
trampled flowers on the floor told of the
presence Of queen and princess, and the
wine corks OF the men who thought they

Running Race Which Ought TO

Running Race Which Ought to
Prove an Awful Warning.
III order TO ascertain the influence of tight
clothing upon the action of the heart during
exercise, a dozen yong women consented
this summer to run $40 yards In their loose
gymnasium garments aud then to run the
same distance with corsets on The running
time was two minutes and thirty seconds for
each person at each trial, aud IN order that
there should be no cardiac excitement or
depression following the first test, the sec
ond trial was made the following day Be-
fore beginning the running the average
heart impulse was eighty-four beats to the
minute; after running the above-named
distance the heart impulse was l54 beats to
the minute; the average natural waist girth
being twenty-five inches. The next day cor
sets were worn during the exercise, aud the
average girth OF the waist was reduced to
twenty-four inches, The same distance was
run in the same time by all, and Immediately
afterward the average heart impulse was
found TO be l6S beats per minute. When |
state that | should feel myself justified in
advising an athlete not to enter running
or rowing race whose heart impulse was 100
beats per minute after little exercise, even
though there were not the slightest evidence
OF disease, one can form some idea OF the
wear and tear on this important organ, and
the physiological loss entniled upon the sys-
ten in women who force 1t TO labor for over
half their lives under such a disadvantage
as the tight corset imposes.-IScrbners
