he went to Old Point everybody turncd
ksround as be passed and looked ss him.
lie was the hon Of the rendezvous.
"people arc going crazy over loose
clothes'n continued my friend. a. he un-
wrapped his lega, which hitherto hsd been
posed very much after the fashion Of the
thread around the spool of cotton. and
/ am making q suit now which will look
very much like it was thrown at the man
who is going TO wear 1t. He would have
it that way. I&yied to dissuade him, but
be wouldn't listen. so just charged him
20 extra for his whim and proceeded 70
execute the job.
"Cheyiots will be all the rage" the sar.
torial Michael Angelo went on to say. as
he fourished q pair of gaudy trousers
around my respected head. They Will
be worn without braid IN every instance.
In fact. many people are ordering dress
suits made out OF this goods and haye

caper TO roll pants up at the bottom and
If he fashioned their length with this end
in view. He said he made no such pro-
vision. but that the "chsppies" often re-
sorted TO this process. Anything but
'highwaters,' they say" concluded the
tailor. "and since that English nobleman

Richmond newspaper correspondent
in recent letter from this city says that
foreign officer on one Of the wsr-ships at
the rendezvous stated that III all his ex-
periences he had never kissed so many
girls az he did at Old Point. Somebody
undertook to qualify the statements of the
correspondent by adding that most OF the
maids at the Hygeia were northern lasses.
Now. for my part. / don't propose to
enter the discussion, nor do L think
IL would be entirely safe for me-a back
number ito tell what know or L know
anything) about the comparative kiss
ability of tho Richmond girl. Why, the
mouth dedri At any rate. shall keep out
Of the argument. / can say this with inn
punity, however-that If any Richmond
maids were at Old Point. I'll bet
that officer never wanted to kiss
any girls In the world so badly
as he did those. The atmosphere OF the
Hygeia is certainly conducive to oscula-
tion. "a is also the air around the White
Sulphur and Rock Alum, but pshaw-Tve
never seen any atmosphere yet that wasn't
conducive to 1t, except that which hangs
IN the immediate vicinity or the girls
father or mother. The cutest, brightest
toast ever heard was from charming
Colorado girl in Italy. who, while sur
rounded by bevy of masculine admirers,
raised glass of wine to her lips and said:
! Gentlemen, here's that we NAV kiss all
the girls we please and please all the girls
we kIss."
Now. my sweet readers. let me tell you
right here | was with that girl on that
| toast. and | always will be with her on
it. l shall never get too old tor that.
Speaking about OSCILLATION recalls
rather funny wedding that L wrote upa
| few weeks ago. The contracting parties,
| If mistake not were Germans. but IL
seemed 10 me that every nation on earth
was represented among the congregation
of friends who saw the tying OF tho nup,,
| tsl Knot. Just before the preacher linked
! the loving cardiac apparatuses together
| the groom, in his excitement, wept oit-
terly, but after the ceremony his heart
! Topped with JOY against his very chn' he
was so glad. He went around IN tho room
| and kissed every man present except one.
and that fellow fed when he saw his I'M
pending fate. The fugitive subsequently
! told me that he would rather be kicked
| by q mule than be kissed by another man,
and | respected his views on the subject
| The bride of the joyous individual above
| referred 10 did her part right noOly IN tno
osculatory "act," too. and by the time the
happy couple" finished their work
think they had kissed everything on tho
place except the man who fled aud the COW
which was eating the geranlums III the
back yard.
Iu concluding I would like 10 state that
I would be glad to correspond with young
| ladies' who are interested IN osculatlon.
Send ne your views. fair ones.
