The Request ofa sIarchiopess Astonished
n Young shOpman.


The Request ofa sIarehiopess Asto"ishea
a Young shopman.
A lady of fashion had been lettering
for nearly an hour IN fashionable
music shop recently. She had pur-
chased a copy Of nearly every piece OF
music that had a sentimental title, and
had sent out to her carriage a whole
portmanteau full Of 'love" - going
through every mood Of the feeling, past,
present. OF future-and was following
their example when she paused upon
the step as II neditating whether she
should take il or some other step that
was evidently turning itself over in her
mind.
The shopman, who had been some
what moved by the tender tone OF
voice in which she had asked him,
"Wilt thou love me then as nowF
watched her with an anxiety that be
trayed itself too plainly in the adjust
ment of his shirt collar and the arrange
ment of his hair. Suddenly the lady
seemed resolved, as with one bound she
cleared the pavement, and, breathless'
pale, her auburn ringlets fiuttering in
the wind, stood once more before the
admiring shopman.
81 had nearly forgotten" she said
in a voice that seemed to veil her
blushing words; "dearl dearl | can
uot tell where my head is today l
come back to ask you If by chance
here she paused, as If to take new cour-
age, while the trembling shopman
posted his two thumbs elegantly on the
mahogany counter and leant his body
inquiringly forward-"to ask you to be
kind enough to give me one kiss before
parting"
"M-a-a-a-d-a-mi" exclaimed the as
tonished shopman.
II want you" repeated the mar
chioness, Ito let me have one kiss be-
fore parting"
She raised her beautiful blue eyes full
upon his, and met them boldly and un-
blushingly. She then, without betray-
ing any emotion, repeated her question,
adding, as calmly as possible, "lf you
cannot give it to me now, / will call
some other time"
He could doubt no longer. Spring
ing over the counter, he seized hold OF
the Iady's fair form and then and there
gave the kisses she so earnestly begged
for previous to departure. To his great
astonishrnent the only return the lady
gave was box on the ears. This was
followed by a yolley of blows dealt by
her parasol over his head, which wa
accompanied with an equal number O
shrieks that never terminated till th'
police came into the shop.
The affair was carried to the neares
police court but was soon dismissed
upon It's being explained that "On
Kiss Before Parting" was the name o
n song which the unsophisticated shop
man, blissfully green from his nativ
fields, had never heard of before.
