around the room and he was all smiles.
He announced to me that the style of
dance he was following had lately been
adopted at Yale and therefore he was
sure that it was the proper thing.
noticed that every one of the spectators
took rubber at u.s. and as soon as
convenient / told him that l felt very
tired and asked to be taken to seat
That was the last time we danced to-
gether.
The next one that asked for dance
was real tall fellow. Some girls would
call him handsome, but as an entertainer
he was frost His eyes bulged out OF
his head about a quarter of an inch, and
he appeared to be staring into vacancy.
Now you all know that this fellow is
bashful and therefore is not responsible
for his actions. We will pass him from
our mind.
There is one fellow there that like
pretty we'll. He sometimes acts as floor
manager. Girls, do not get it into your
head that he is bashful because he is
not. Did tell you about this man going
swimming1 Yes, he really did. 1t hap
pened this way. In the pool there were
two girls, well known in this city. They
thought that it would be good joke to
splash water on the floor manager while
he was dressing. You see there is a
raise in the lower part of the door of
about two inches and the young ladies
amused themselves by throwing water
up from below. The swimmer made no
objection, but simply climbed up on the
seat where the water could not reach
him. Becoming tired of this sport the
girls once again plunged into the pool.
Now this is where the story comes in
The gentleman quietly slipped out of his
dressing room and into theirs. He
locked the door and when he came out
there was most satisfied expression on
his face. The girls looked at him from
been up to some mischief, and made a
run for their dressing room. To their
horror they found that he had tied every
stitch of their clothing and had not
wasted any strength in dong the work.
Now the joke was on them, and they had
to take 1t. They weeped and weeped as
they worked at untying their garment S,
and all this time the gentleman was en-
joying himself by cracking jokes at them
through the partition.
The costumes worn at the masque ball
were very good. considering the fact
that no one in the city makes business
of providing such garments. The girls
even did better than the boys. They
made up better, but then that is natural,
because they practice that art to far
greater extent.
When the poverty ball takes place this
evening expect to be there. OF course
l will tell you something about it next
week. In the meantime be good and
you will be happy.

Something
Doing ~ II

Well, there is always something doing
in Idaho Springs. and find great deal
of amusement in watching what tran
spires. Do you know that had good
notion to quit my job, and not write any
more. l always supposed that news
paper writers could work at their own
pleasure, but since coming to this city
have learned that the printers must be
supplied with copy, and that am ex-
pected to do my share. 1t was like this
when the editor told me he was going
away on a vacation and would look for
my copy early, it made me real angy.
But then suppose that must get used
to the run of things, and be a brave girl
and do my work.
Let me see. Where did l leave off
last week? Oh, yes, now remember.
/ was telling you about all those letters
that had been addressed to Miss Mabel.
Quite naturally, 1 supposed that after
telling you that was an impostor and
did not want a fellow, that the letters
would stop coming. But it seems the
articles had no effect, other than to have
some of the boys give me roasting
through the mail.
1 was walking down Miner street last
Sunday OH my way to church, and as
passed livery stable heard quite an
argument | measured my steps ac-
II h., eforrIfnn off IN
side soon learned what was the matter.
There was a dark haired young man
talking to some older people, and he
threatened to go up to Siftings and clean
the Office. 1 thought at first he was the
printers devil and intended to do his
Monday morning work on Sunday.
Then it occurred to me that something
else was the matter. 1t appears that the
men there were accusing the young fel-
low of having written a letter to Miss
Mabel and claimed that description in
one of the articles tailed exactly with
him. Now as far as l can remember
never saw the youth, and as far as hav-
ing a letter from him-well, that is a
different story Perhaps did, and per-
haps did not. I have received so many
that the author of more than half is not
known to me.
Did l tell you about going to the
masquerade Well, we'll, if there is
place on earth where one can enjoy their
self, it is at masque ball. l saw many
funny things there that it had never
been my lot to see before, and do hope
that the same opportunity will never
present itself again. 1 noticed that some
of the young men in this city are in
clined to have a swelled head. They
think they are sit" with big l, and
they bore one terribly.
The first fellow that asked me to dance
with him did not wear mask; neither
did 1. But someone told him that the
proper and latest way to waltz was for
the gentleman to place one hand in
either his hip or coat pocket. We started

All a Mistake.

The report was published some time
ago that Peter McCabe, an old resident
of this city, had died in Denver. Such
was not true. Mr.. McCabe was seen in
Denver last Sunday and at that time he
was hale and hearty and gives every in
dication of living many years. 1t is
probable that the person who died was
another man bearing the same name.

Who has all the wealth Of my homage to might,
Where she lies in her innocent dreaming.
And watch DER her ever my spirit shall Keep,
While the angels lean down to caress her,
And I'll pledge her again in her beautiful sleer-
