She Forgot Her Hatpin.


Two married ladies of the northern Sec
ton of the city are regular attendants at
the theater on certain nights each week
Their husbands, owing to the nature of
their occupations, are unable to accompany
them, so they go alone.
One of the ladies resides three squares
from the cars and the other nearly two
squares, both on the same street. The lady
who lives furthest from the cars was asked
by her husband if she was not afraid to
walk the distance alone.
Afraid" she answered, edo you see
that?" producing wicked-looking, long
hatpin. IF any man should address me 1
would stab him."
One dark night recently the two wives
alighted from the car at their usual place
and started homeward cheerfully chatting
about the play. They had gone half a
square when a man suddenly appeared
from alley. His hat was slouched over
his eyes. At glance the ladies concluded
he was a suspicious character. They slow
ed up to let him get past. but he slowed up

same. AS they neared the home Of one Of
the ladies the man was very close to them.

would do when an opportunity occurred

run for the middle of the street, down
which she hurried like wild gazelle. After
she had gone fifty OF sixty feet familiar
voice rang out: "Say, Nan, where's your
hatpin?" 1t was her husband. She still de-

polo, cricket, riding and dancing were
things he loved and excelled in. Much of
his boyhood had been spent at one of those
healthy, hearty English schools. where all
that would cultivate physical and mental
manhood was assiduously practiced, and
all that would initiate against them was
as vigorously ''tabooed"
