Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-26

looked at the young men aud turned up
their little noses. They had observed that
one of them wore last years overcoat,
while the others hat was rusty. They
plainly had no admiration for such I'M
pecunious persons.
One of the young men wrote telegram.
After moment he turned to his friend and
said: ''Do you think four dozen bottles
will do?"
The pretty girls pricked up their ears.
''No," replied the other young man.
HMake 1t five dozen. Have half of the lot
dry wine and the other half sweet. The
girls will like it sweet"
NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR THEM.
"All right" responded the one writing
the telegram. "Now, how much Burgundy
do you think we want? Two dozen Will do,
don't you think? I will put down few
bottles of Tokay, also. Some of the girls
are dead after it. There, guess that'n do.
I'll order it delivered by o'clock sharp, so
we'll have six hours to Ice the champagne
in. Now, let us hurry to Delmonico's. 1
want to tell them to secure an extra lot of
terrapin, for want to make that feature
of the supper"
The two pretty girls were verv nervous
and alert by this time. They were shooting
looks OF wonder and regret at one another.
With perfectly serious faces, the young
men handed their message in to the tele-
graph operator, paid for it, and. with care
less glances IN the direction of the beaming
girls, passed out, lingering for a moment on
the walk before the door.
The dispatch had been left by the operator
hi 10 ha ial-
call from his instrument. As it lay there
one of the pretty girls sidled up to it and
hastily cast her eve over it. Instantly a
shadow passed across her face, and as she
returned to where her companion was, sit
ting she was bristling like an angry
chicken.
MONEY MAKES THE MAN.
"Don't look at those men, Nellie" she
said; "they are no good at all. That was
all make believe about the wine. That tele-
gram asks for loan of S10"
The young men glancing in through the
window from the street saw two pretty noses
held very high in the air, and knew at once
that their genial little hoax had been dis
covered.
o, don't think that we girls are unobserv-
ant of the fellows, shy as we are. can give
real news to the dandies The crush opera
hat is again the hlghly correct thing Tor
evening wear. T. Luis Onativia. the pres
ent head of the dude kingdom, brought one
home from London, and it acts as regular
accompaniment of his monocle, his white
kid gloves, and his Tuxedo coat when he
goes forth at night to beautify the neighbor-
hood. An ambitious youth of II, the mo-
ment he discovered Onativia with an opera
hat, dashed off and purchased one for his
own use, and learned from the halter the
correct method of collapsing it and of snaps
ping it back into form. He then wore it to
first night at one of the theaters, and the
first time he snapped it a nervous old gentle
man sitting in front of him jumped as
though he had been shot, and looked
scowlingly around to see what person had
broken a suspender or corset string.
A DEMURE MAIDEN'S REBUKE.
There are all sorts of persons at theatri-
cal first night, and there was one of the
prettiest girls in the world there, who had
never seen or heard of an opera hat She
was apparently from the interior of che
State, but was provided with an air of de-
licious cosmopoliranism that would indicate
a thorough knowledge OF everything inter-
