HIS pRepIcAmsnT.


rhis Yemnx Man Was In . Peek Of rrsuhis
Threagh No Fault of His Own.
There is a certain young man In
Chicago whose natural propensity
for being agreeable has sometimes
placed him In embarrassing posi-
tions. He has not quite recovered
from his latest shock.
Two weeks ago no decided 10 ac-
cept an invitation to certain club
reception. A young lady from tho
far South Side was TO accompany
him.
That evening when he called at
her fathers door the young lady was
indisposed. A female cousin hap
pened to be spending the evening at
the house, and being an old friend
the young man was ushered into the
family sitting room and introduced
to the cousin, whom he had never
seen. Naturally enough he didn't
catch her name on presentation, and
naturally enough, too, he proposed
that she go with him to the recep-
ton.
Five minutes after the introduc-
ton she withdrew to get ready.
When she came out prepared TO keep
out the cold, she seemed only an ami
mated bundle Oh wraps.
1t was this animated bundle which
few moments later retired to the
club dressing room set aside for
ladies. She came out metamorphosed
beyond all hope Of Identification at
the end Of 10 minutes. Introductions
to three or four other ladies' had in
the meantime tended to still further
bewilder the young man. and he
stood with q cold, clammy sweat on
his thoughtful brow.
What situationi The escort of a
young lady whose name he couldn't
call and whose face he couldn't re-
memberi And there were half a
hundred of faces about the rooms.
Twice In the course Of the evening
he thought he had found the young
lady. Each time he spoke guardedly
about her sick cousin" and each
time the young lady gave him a
scared look, as II she doubted his
sanity.
1t was not she.
The evening dragged on somehow
He thought several times of running
away somewhere anywhere - and
never being heard of more. Then q
happy thought struck him. 1t gave
him a new hope of life.
People began to go home after q
time. The crowd thinned, and the
young man watched hopefully.
Six women were left-five-four

Then the other young man took

who was smiling 30 graciously about
her, leaving n sober faced, demure
