LIZ AND JIMMIE AFLOAT.

Goes not put on evening dress and
make formal call upon the young
lady's mother to request the homer and
SO on. Neither does he write note
asking if he may have the pleasure.
! Jimmie, after he knocks of work as a
plumbers helper some afternoon loafs
around in the neighborhood of the
box-factory, where his girl works. until
/ her days work is over, and managing
to fall in with her on her way home
remarks:
Hello Liz"
"Hello Chimmie," she replies,
"Say, Liz, you're goin' wild me to
de Young Toughs' 'scursion next
T'utsday."
/ WHO said l was?"
al did: amt dat enough?'
"Maybe It's maybe faint"
"Sav shall | come around after
you or will you be down to the dock?"
YOU'D better be sure I'm agoin'
first"
"Oh, dat's all right; I'll wait down
to de corner for you thursday morn
lug at nine see?"
You got a gall, amt youi'
"Dat's all right; don't miss being
there see?"
And so the matter is settled, and it
isn't to be supposed that Liz is offend
ed at the manner in which the invita-
ton was extended, for as she reaches
home she says:
"Say Nom, l want that white dress
of mine fixed up for next Thursday
:" or whali"
"Tm goin' on the excursion"
"Who wid?"
"Chimmie of course"
" Abusa child; ye'll break me heart
goin' wild that onmannerly gossoon.
Why don't you take up wild some
wan that's half way dacint"'
"What is dc matter with Chimmie.
Momi you amt got no cause to growl
at him. Any way, I'm agoin wild him
Thursday, and l want my white dress
fixed up. You won't be making any
trouble about it, now, will We, and |
don't say nothin to pop that will make
him raise a row."
At half past nine o'clock on tue
Thursday morning Liz has. the white
dress on her back, with a little sleeve
less au1 low-cut black velvet bodice
over it, and a cheap straw hat on her
head She is slender and of medium
height. The contrast of the clean
and stiff white skirts, shoulders and
sleeves, with the black velvet bodice
sets off her fgu well. Her large
grey ewes are clear and really fine. and
ner dark-brown hair makes lustrous
,oil upon her neck. If it were not for
he tenement house pallor on her face,
he redness of her hands, and the un-
,outhness of er feet in their coarse
black shoes, she would be al attrac-
tive girl.
She waits about the corner for abont
fifteen minutes before Jimmie comes
llong, His face is oppressively clean
haven and his hair slicked. He has
IN oil shine on his shoes and his clothes
lave the distressing lack of fit that
a fourth ward young
mans best suit '
"Well, for gawd sake is the sal.
ltation he receives from Liz All the
.irls she goes with say 40 gawdv
nd for gawd sake!" upon the slight
st pretense, and with as little intent
on of profanity as the Frenchman has J
with his "Mon Dieu"
whats the matter,"
"Didn't you tell me to be here at &
line o'clock an amt 1 beel here an c
our waitens l suppose you think i
he boats goin to wait all day for you
"Oh, dat's all right; nine o'clock I
ats excursion time, see. 1t won't 60 v
DR. an hour yet. Come along"
He takes her arm and pulls her with q
i'm until she says: "Oh, what are !.
ou doin'' Let me alone, can't-you?" q
nd then they walk together to the a
ock and get aboard a barge that tug
holding against the pier. :
The band. five or six pieces, comes e
