81 had the opportunity" remarked
young lady prominent in Baltimore socie-
ty, "On my way back from Europe the |
past summer to be an interested witness
of an extremely queer love affair. We
returned on the Deutschland, and
among the passengers were a couple Of
German university students who were
coming over to study American political
conditions and incidentally" this with an
arch smile, Ito discover whether Ameri-
can girls deserved their reputation for
charm. Among the Americans was party
of six bright and pretty girls from a Bos-
ton academy who had made a tour of in
spectiOn and conquest under the guidance
Of a mature and forbidding chaperon, one
Of the senior professors of the dead Ian
guages in the Institution.
The hairy prOfessoren, as the stu
dents were called because Of their cher
ished little mustaches, became immediate
ly enamored Of the Boston beauties and
| devised the most unlikely schemes to at
| tract their attention or to secure an intro
/ ductiOn. However, all their neatly laid
/ plots failed, for the girls were well
/
| The situation began to look blue for the
| young men, who showed such unmistaka-
bic signs of heart anguish as to afford
| general amusement.

single hairpin and let fall her luxuriant
tresses in a ripple over her face, thus eff

mirer, bent on finding out which of the
fair girls stood before him and yet not
daring to pull away the hair which she
held tightly drawn over the face, pinched
her cheek. hoping by this means to leave
a mark whereby she might be recognized
"Imagine his chagrin next morning to
find all of the girls with precisely similar
marks on their faces. They had all pinch
ed their cheeks in the same way to defeat
his design. However, with the prOverbal
cOnceit Of masculine lovers, he selected
the fairest and most attractive Of the
party as his nocturnal visitor. He redou-
bled all his efforts for an introduction,
but Ill his attempts were fruitless until
he hit upon the expedient of interesting
the chaperon by Stimulating a deep inter
