A happening on the Shores of Spectacle
Pond-Real Estate Transactions.

The shores of Spectacle pond are much
freduented these beautiful afternoons by
Young men and women partners. Many
of the mills are working only part, thus
permitting idle hands TO do work.
Yesterday afternoon two mothers in
search of their daughters wandered to-
ward Spectacle pond. A number of men
were engaged here and there along the
shores, fishing; a few steered little row
boats over the smooth waters. The tree
lined shores with their sloping banks
formed picturesque amphitheater with
grassy seats. An ideal place for Cupid
and here and here these two mothers
found Cupid. A stranger would have
been delighted with the scene, but fire
cleaned in the eyes of these mothers and
they made dash for their daughters
without any concerted plan.
Mird is an active agent In this case,
when the girls had to decide between
obedience to parents and love, they
quickly chose the latter and began n
hasty retreat with their much frightened
lovers. Ire chase was lively one; the
young couples ran toward Elmwood.
Tho mothers followed close behind, call
ing to peopl, in advance OF the young
lovers, "Stop those girls Stop those
girls!" No person interfered and so
the young people escaped
1t Is said that the girls returned home
last evening and "de strap was fiyin' in
de air. "
