long journey, "don't let yer father zee yer"
 With these words ringing in her ears Maggie goes out. AS she walks down the hill that Sunday afternoon she creates veritable sensation. The world seems very bright to her. Even when a small boy, too young to possess a sense of the truly beautiful, says, "Git onto it, fel- luz," the young woman pays no atten- tion. but continues right along, proud in the consciousness of her beauty and of being the wearer of a suit in the very latest fashion. Hasn't she the stifay starched shirt front, with it's tab and "M. NJ. K." in bright red letters? And don't her piccadilly collar and tie look just too sweet for anything7 What more can she desire?
 While Miss Maggie has been dressing her father has been tout" with some friends. He has left these and started for home, somewhat foggy in mind. He comes up the street as Miss Kelly goes down. As an inevitable result they meet. The old man spies his daughter from afar. At first he does not think it is she. But as she comes closer he is sure of it. He catches hold of a railing and steadies himself until she comes up to him. Mag gie is about to pass by as her father calls. slowly and with great sternness: "Mag-gie" She stops. Maggie" !" he continues in the same solemn tone, .'go home and take aff my shirt" "I ain't got on yo,r shirt" the young woman replies.
 Maggie" says her father still more slowly, you've always bin good gyurrl and never told me any lies befure. Don't begin now"
 "Pm not beginnin lyin," the young woman replies hotly. "I ain't got your shirt. It's me own shirt, seeT' Then, as a clincher, Have you got M. Nj. K. : on your shirts9"
 Maggie" the old man responds, "I don't care phwat you've on yure shirt, it's moine. Go home an take it aff. or. be the powers, I'll break ev'ry bone in i yure bodyr
 From the manner in which this Is said l Miss Kelly knows that her father will carry out this threat unless she does as he tells her. So she walks home. with lips quivering and the tears ready to start. And when she reaches home the young woman cries. Her mother offers her sympathy. but Maggie is in no mood for 1t. She cries until she falls asleep.
 She has removed the shirt, and when her father comes home he coniscates it. The next Sunday MT. Kelly wears n shirt with I'M. NJ. K." in bright letters on the tab.-New York Evening Sun.
