From the New York sun
One day last week beautiful and naughty
young woman in a very stylish costume walked
up 9th avenue. Past the Calumet, the New

she swept with a swift, regular movement,
looking neither to the right Lor 10 the left.
and the only acknowledgment that she gave of
the attempts of the clubmen to win her smiles
Was dIsdalnful curl OF her thin. beautiful
lips. In one hand she carried what looked
like card-case. At the corner OF i3d street q
fat, red-faced little man, in a hurry TO catch .
homecoming stage, brushed roughly against
her. He struck against the hand IN which
the supposed card-case, and the latter fell to
the sidewalk. 1t burst open, aud out rolled .

seemed III danger OF AN attack OF Mysteries the
little man blushed and stammered his apology,
while Union League club man came up IN
time TO rescue the card-case and the chips. A
smiling throng watched HIM pick up the chips,
put them deity back into the case, and hand
them TO their crestfallcn owner with a most
graceful bow. The young woman barely ac-
knowledged the kindness ana went swiftly
