Took Her Mother Into Some Queer
Places at tho Worlds Pair.

Races at tho World s Fair.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
It's 81 an hour 20 ride in the sedan
chairs, or % cents for the quarter hours
But the fellows with the collapsed bal
loon adiustments-which in this country
are called trousers-eNpect 20 receive
pour boirc,' which is the price Of o
drink, extra. Sometimes they get IT,
more often they do not. They have been
very docile about IL until lately-since
business is getting TO be an assured thing
with them. Now when the extra nickel
or dime is not forthcoming they do not
hesitate TO grumble and say Pour boire
pour bOlret' Not one in ten, however.
Of their customers knows what pour
bOire' means. Yesterday they found
n customer who did know Just as
was passing the sedan chair station three
of the Egyptian turnouts deposited their
burdens, and mother and two daughters
evidently, stepped out Of three of the vel
low-curtained black chairs One of the
girls seemed to be acting manager of the
trio. She was n stunning-lookiug blonde.
She work a navy blue suit, jacket and
skirt, trimmed with red, and silk skirt

band, and red silk parasOl ] mention
the suit particularly because heard of it
later
She handed the three fellows rs cents,
% cents apiece for a fifteen-minute ride,
and walked away. Each one hoped for
ward and said:
Pour boire Pour boire -
Pour boire}' she said. Pour boire
after paying rs cents for a l5-minute ride9
Well, guess not
MEANING OF POUR BORE
They insisted, and the other three
men joined in, making two men to each
woman. The mother drew herself up
with great dignity and said
What does pour boire mean2''
1T means money for a drink" replied
the daughter
For drink of liquor2 Certainly they
cannot have it"
'Now, mother, don't you interfere
The drink is all right. It's the principle
of the thing
The six men still kept jabbering and
waiting with outstretched hands The
pretty blonde looked at them Indignantly
and said finally:
"Do you know what YOU can do2 You
can all six go to the devil, where you be-
long, and stay there"
The curious Onlookers shouted with
laughter, The girl said. Come mother"
and walked away The six chair carriers
settled back quietly to wait for more Gus
toners.
An electric current, or some kind of a
current that sometimes controls the in
clinations of people, seemed to guide me
along all day yesterday in the footsteps
of that mother and her daughters. /
brought up alongside of them again in
the Moorish palace. The mother was
just ahead of the two girls. She was 60
ing into ecstacies over the labyrinth and
mirrors and draperies and was getting
near the harem where the Moor sits with
his beautiful and numerous wives. These
wives have not any too many clothes and
there are many who think they should
have more. But that is a matter entirely
of taste, country and custom. AS / was
saying the mothers face was beaming
with pleasure, and she was saying:
GOT INTO THE HAREM.
90, girls If your father was only
here How he would enjoy"
Just then she saw the harem. She drew
herself back with jerk, with her enthu-
siasm broken off in the middle She took
one more look and said:
Turn right around, girls, Immediately.
We will go the other way"
The girls said: mo, no, mother we
want to see these people"
Girls, come here p'-sald the mother
almost with a stamp of her foot-'have
you lost all sense of modesty2"
eve will come in just minute, moth er,
dear -
"Gtrlsl lp'
eyes, ma"-and the girls took a
final look at the haren smiled at the
women, sort of winked at each other, and
then drew their faces down to the length
which showed their mother that they had
been properly Mortified
The next time / met them they were
coming out of the German village garden.
The girls were convulsed with laughter.
One of them said
"Well, mother, we got q glass of beer
down you anyway. All you need is a
little experience and you will be one of
the boys yet-just as much as papa and
we are. am going to write to papa all
about IL when we return to the hotel
The mother did not smile. She said Sc
verely:
snow, girls, if you tell your father that
! took glass of beer | will never forgive
you. 1t was not beer; it was Edelweiss;
the man said 50. 1t was very different
from beer"
Glow do you know it is different2"
81 know it because it did not muddle
me, and beer would
Just the same, ma, that was beer, and
you can't say anything more about papa
and us drinking it,"
SHOCKED IN ANOTHER WAY.
Again | ran across them in the woman's
building. They were sauntering down
the main floor when the mother spied the
painting "Eurydice Sinking Back Into
Hades." She halted, stood and looked at
the nude figure an instant, then said:
"Weu / thought l could come into the
woman's building In peace, and here's one
Of these perfectly disgraceful pictures in
full view of everybody"
Then the oldest girl, the "acting man
ager, spoke up, and, without the sign of
a smile, said
Now, ma, | wish you would stop such
nonsense. You are making us miserable.
In the first place you made a fuss about
this suit of mine that papa likes 50 we'll
You have harped. on that until could
jump in the lake every time any one looks
at me. You say it is this loud dress
Then the next thing you positively refused
to 90 into the art palace because of some
thing you read in one of the Boston papers
probably written by some one who had
