ATTACK I'D BY CIR S.
A Flock of Them K IS and Hug a
Bashful Yale Student.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The young girls of New Haven who are
employed in the corset shops, a dispatch
from that city says, are noted for two
things-their beauty and their self-assur-
ance Some OF the girls are unusually
piquant in their manners, and all are, as
rule, gifted with a sutficiency of talk, which
they are not slow to use whenever they get
a good chance.
One OF the principal shops in the city is
located on Court street. The girls are re-
leased from their employment about 6
O'Clock In the afternoon. The students in
this city are genial set of young men as a
rule, aud are divided into two classes, athletes
and non-athletes. The athletes, who are in
training for the annual boat race at New
London, take practice spin in the harbor
every afternoon, after which they take a
run from the club house on East Chapel
street to the quarters on Elm street.
Their usual course Is up Chapel street to
the Wooster square, through which they
run to Court street. This is the short way
and takes them off the principal streets.
They are obliged t. pass the corset shop in
their run up street, and the girls in the shop
have learned to expect them, so that when
the students appear they are greeted with a
chorus Of remarks not always compliment
tary. The students, as a rule, have always
umeQ themselves 81 as TO pass the SHOP
few moments before the girls are released,
and thus they avoid the rush.
Last night the students were a trifie late
coming I'D the street. and were about a
block away when the girls were released.
Through the street the students came on a
run, and some Of the girls made room for
them TO pass. One of the students was a
little backward from the rest of the
| group. and, as he was adorned with a goodly
crop OF hair of the tint that the poets rave
about, the girls Immediately started vol
ley Of remarks
| He became incensed, and made a remark
not very complimentary to the girls. This
| was what they wanted, aud before the as
| tonished student knew what they were about
over thirty of them had formed a group
around him and were each calling him the
choicest explosives that they could COM
mand- In vain he tried to break through
the ranks but the girls would not have it.
| He called on his companions for help, but
they we're too far ahead to hear him with
the noise made by the girls, and continued
on their way.
One OF the girls suggested that they kisi
him, and before he knew what was up he
was being held tightly in the arms of a
strong Amazon, and as many as could con.
veniently stepped up and kissed him. IL
vain he struggled and fought and, as a last
resort. he screamed for help. His compan
ions heard him and returned to his rescue
and after considerable difficulty they sue.
