She was pretty girl, with flashing
eyeand springingktep, and as she passed
down Broad street near the Opera House
yesterday afternoon three young men,
who were standing by, eyed her with
unconscious admiration. The wind was
bowling around the Benedict House
corner and tossing signs and movable
articles in playful mood. The pretty
girl continued iauntily forward, and
the young men still admired. Sudden
lv heavy gale of wind came along and
lifting the dainty het from the pretty
girls head tossed it into the street.
With an impetus rush the three young
men started for the prize, and two more
men who chanced to come along, did
the same thing. A scramble ensued,
and finally one of the lot more fortunate
than his companions, grasped the prize
and with smile of large dimensions
presented it to the pretty girl. The
tour defeated men looked angry and
said things; the pretty girl replaced her
hat. and the wind tossed and tumbled
the signs in frantic glee.

and then passing on down the room,
taking their leave through the door lead
