Two well known society swells went
to the Imperial theater one afternoon
when East Lynne" was the bill. A
few evenings before there had been dis
cussed at their club the subject Of wom-

were mentioned who were suspected by
their admirers Of wearing an artificial
carnation bloom. Others defended the
young damsels and said il was natural
How 10 find out and win a wager
that was laid then and there was the
subject Of the young mems visit to the
Imperial.
East Lynne" is play which ought
to make all women cry, they reasoned,
for II makes even mems threats grow
thick. They sent tickets for reserved
seats to the girls under discussion, beg
ging them to invite whonsoever they
pleased Of their acquaintance, as they,
the donors, would not be able to escort
them.
The ruse was successful. In an upper
box sat the young men ready 10 win "
lose the wager, and right below, in the
parIuet, where they could SEQ their
faces and every move Of their hands,
were the young women. There We're six
OF them, two Of whom shed copious
tears and hesitatcd not to wipe
them away with their handkerchiefs,
while the other four never WINGED.
Among those who did not cry Were tia
girls suspected Of laying on the red

dence that the bet hinged. That night
the wager was paid with supper at
