TIE two enjoy their comfortable suburban
home to their hearts content.
stWho do you think is coming Tonight,
girls2" said a pretty young hostess of a
house party of you1g people WAC were
passing week of Observation-Disclosures fun
and merrimeu5 ia a spacious old country
house on the beautiful borders OF Lake NJ.
Mamma has had a letter this moraing
from Johnny s. inviting himself for few
days. | am glad he is coming, for he is such
fun; but he did such outrageous things
when he was here last that the mater
declared he should never be asked to
the house again. wish You could
have seen her face when she
st now. She had TO laugh
in spite of herself. and finally she said:
"Well, suppose he will have to come, and
only hope he will have learned a lesson
and will behave himself. l must say
think it was rather cheeky to ask for an in
vitation. when he must have known the
house was full; but since he will come, let
us give him warm welcome" Aud there's
upon, after much consultation and sup
pressed laughter, a programme was ar
ranged for the entertainment of the bold
man who presented himself uninvited-a
programme that might well have appalled,
the expected guest, had he Known Of their
intentions.
Nothing, in the cordial and lady-like well
come given TO him by the young maidens,
saws the New York Tribune, could have
prepared him for the lively reception he
found awaiting him when he retired to his
own room. All the practical jokes that
could be thought of had been brought to-
gether for his edification. His bed had
been arranged on the most scientific prin-
ciples of making it utterly impossible to
sleep in any position without making it en-
tirely over; bis drinking water was sailed:
the sleeve and neck openings of his robe-de-
mutt were run together with the sewing
machine; land turtle was found lying ia
his bag, and cat sprung out Of the closet
when he opened the door. But his final
discomforture and utter overthrow had
been planned for the morning, when he was
10 find his evening clothes the only ones to
put on for breakfast. The next morning a
m cry party waited expectantly in the
dining for his advent. nor we're they
kept long in suspense. A sh Jrt time after
breakfast had been announced and every
one else had assembled, the door was flung
open aud the most extraordinary figure
that had ever been seen i'll that stately room
marched i'll. The apparltion which.
struck them all dumb was johnny

anything but scant proportions to the great
est advantage. With stately step he walked
into the room, and with a perfect serious
ness addressed the company. "How fortu-
nate, ladies and gentle men," he said as soon
as he could make himself heard for the
shouts Of laughter, that l found the re-
quirements suited to my needs in the fine
old-fashioued wardrobe which stands in
my apartment. Some frivolous per-
sons" he continued, turning severely
to the giggiing maidens, having re-
moved nay garments, felt myself fortunate
indeed in being able to replace them with
this comfortable and appropriate raiment"
So saying with great aplomb he discussed a
most excellent breakfast, rising to supply
his needs from the sideboard amid the con-
tinued tltters of the company aud to the
utter amRzement and hopeless Indignation
of the digniied owner of the dress Il
suppose l will find what is needful for n
change in my room after br eakfastP'
he asked his hostess with the greatest
politeness.
