Story of Shy Maiden at Brighton

She was sweet young thing with
shy, timid air, which suited with her
quiet costume and her bloomer hat.
When the young man she got &C.
quainted with at Brighton asked her to
have some refreshments at a nearby
pavilion she hesitated, but at last con
sented to take something to drink at
the restaurant. When they were
seated at the table he suggested that
as the day was chilly she take some
thing to warm her, remarking that
ginger ale might have that effect.
After waiting for him to order his
own drink so as to give a hint, at
last, she said, looking around the
restaurant. =

The princes Of the English blood

two professions orly are open to them

at least one of these callings the tu-
