Two young society men of Shop
herdstown who came up to attend the
fashionable dance at Lambert 8 hall
last week met with an embarrassing
incident while here. A friend invit-
ed them to go to his room at his home
to don their swallowtsils and white
shirts. They had been there before,
SO they proceeded to the aforesaid
room. There are several houses very
similar in the vicinity. They entered
what they supposed to be the right
house. They went upstairs and tried
the door and found it locked. The
lady inside, supposing it was her hus-
band, opened the door, but with some
caution as is common. The young
gallants caught a glimpse of the fem.
mine robes, stepped back, apologized
and epquired for their gentleman
friend, and then made a hasty retreat.
