Correspondence of the Omaha Bee.1
On the plaza every evening the band
plays it's charming music, and here the
lovers most likely meet for the first time.
The men promenade around the square in
one way. while the women go the oppo
site, and a policeman is there to see that
every man behaves himself and keeps his
place. 1t was here on the plaza that the
writer first fell in love-quite confession,
admit. Oh. she was handsome crea-
tLre, but / have since met dozens equally
so. The old idea that a man loves but
he can not only love more than
once, but love several at time.
He can fall in love three times
a day snd still have a good appetite
However, this particular episode is not
without interest. At the time it took
place 1 was completely ignorant of the
| quette. l saw the object of my admira-
ton on the promenade, and she smiled
graciously. That was a great deal for her
to do, as she was as proud as Lucifer.
But that smile was enough. 1 was told
that she could speak little English,
/ so 1 resolved to ask her where Brown
Jones lived. and after waiting for her to
drop something, which, by the way. she
never did, told friend of my intentions
/ to speak to her, and so started across the
plaza to where she was seated. Before

! as ghost, and said: Don't you do il,

Such a warning is apt to cool the ardor

carry on a Irritation in the proper way.
One must first find out where she lives ives
the plaza. Il is also advisable TO let nef
see that you are following her. At mia,
night return with your instruments and
serenade under her balcony You must
continue this course perhaps for weeks
and then perhaps she will drop you heI
handkerchief or a billet petit: It is very
good plan to do as Romeo did IN soliclt
ing the assistance of one of the domestics
and also to always look out for break
ers.' Never go serenading unless you
sibly they may make it dreadfully un
pleasant for you. Yet, of course, M

is a very, common thing mere; ana n.y. III
