not accept an invitation of a gentleman to
any place of amusement unless some mem

readers of the Century Magazine a few

The particular instance in question he re-

had adopted the English custom of turn
ing over the upper portion of the stocking
TO leave the knee-cap free for action, but
far from suiting the exquisite sensibilities
of Tashkent society, this feature of our
professional costume was looked upon as
actually indecent. On this particular oc-
casion certain epauletted Individual
accosted us rather abruptly and, with a
supercilious glance at our knees, Informed
us that our indecent exposure had pro-
duced considerable abashment among his
lady eompanfohns.- or course we retired
at once TO avert the disastrous effects of
