AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
How Should Chicago Gent Ask a Lady at
Ball to Dance?

How Should a Chicago Gent Ask Lady at
n Ball to Dance?
Among the many seekers for truth
who daily tap The Times reservoir of
information comes one who modestly
shields his identity behind the initials
81. L. l. He inquiries:
(Which is the proper way for a gent
at ball to ask lady to dancer"
The question submitted by IL. L. I. "
is received with the utmost satisfaction.
Standing alone, it is a refutation of
those cruel ISLANDERS and gibes in the
writing of which eastern persons carr!
their fugitive existence 1t has been
charged against Chicago that her citi-
zens are too ardent in the pursuit of the
changing iron dollar to give attention Il
the amenities of life 1t is further libel
ously alleged that the soft, sensuous
music of the rout and the ball falls flat
and dull upon the Chicago tympanum
attuned to the song of the dying swine.
In brief, it is asserted by eastern critics
that there is no fine, silky aspect to the
nature of the Chicagoese-no gumdrop
side to the character. Does not the art
less query Of the retiring Ell. l.. l. !"
afford sufficient proof to the contrary?
Does it not also show that the efforts
Of The Times toward leading it's sub
scribers to higher intellectual and So
cial life have not been in vain?
But to the question. 1t all depends L.
L. L Out in Bridgeport, for instance,
the gent being unused perhaps to every
day association with the ladies, ap-
proaches the subject with trembling, but
in a logical way withal He first builds
his nerve.
Gimme some barbed WIRE, he says
to the man in front of the back bar.
"What dyer wash wid?"
''Seltzer, fer a chaser" and the pre-
liminaries are thus arranged. Then the
gent goes to the other end Of the hall
with proud, naughty front, lays his
hat on a chair and his cigar with it and
says:
you're my pick" to which the lady
responds, "Well, catch ON den," or
maybe invites him to go take a walk
Over Humboldt park way the process
Is much the same, although the Ian
guage is different. At Uhlich's hail.
over by the bridge, there is slight differ
ence, except that the gent who is wise
in his generation wears his hat and
keeps the cigar in his mouth. On West
Madison street: 'Has yer got bloke
for de mex reel? No? Come wild me, sis
Come wild me. :"
Farther to the southwest in the Blue
Island avenue district, LES trash out
few more Of de foorin boards" seems
to be the proper form. Due reverence
must be paid local prejudice, and it is
impossible in a case of such Importance
as this to formulate rule. Bear in
mind in this connection that if the lady
declines the request no true gent will
strike her. All society sets its face
against this.-Chicago Times.

Why Is It2

Here is question in naval science
which is to the average sailor man q rid
die unsolved. Take a vessel of, say, 2. 500
tons; place on it cargo of $500 tons.
This gives you q total of 5000 tons.
Hitch little tug to this vessel, and she
will yank the big craft along at the rate
of six or eight knots an hour. Now put
the tugs machinery in the big vessel
1t won't move her half a knot an hour.
Why is t is?-New York Mail and Elk
