Pretty Girl in Crowded Street Car.


The crowded Indianapolis street
cars are responsible for a good many
things first and last They were re-
sponsible for the deep embarrassment
of d very pretty girl the other night
Two young men had something to do
with the EN- barrassment, too, but the
crowded car was chiefly responsible.
The pretty girl was sitting near the
back of the car. The aisle was al
ready quite crowded, and when the
two young men entered it was even
more crowded and there was no va
cant strap to afford a brace for the
newcomers. The car started with
that diScOncerning jerk which is the
preliminary to the movement of most
cars. and, as a consequence, one of the
young man sat down in the pretty
girls lap. The pretty girl flushed rOs-
lily and her eyelids fiuttered in confuS-
ion The passengers around smiled
symp athetically-sOme of them en-
viously. The sympathy was for the
pretty girl. the envy for the young
man. The young man was as EN- bar
raised as the pretty girl. evidently.
So soon as he could pull himself to-
gether he removed himself from his
unconventional attitude and fronted
the pretty girl, lifting his hat with an
abject gesture. 4 beg your pardon
he said, in a tone of regret.
The pretty girl was still obviously
embarrassed, but she wanted to soothe
the young man. That is usually the
way with a woman "Oh, not at all,
she said sweetly. but nervously. Il
didn't mind it's all right"
Then the second young man took
the center of the stage His tone was
clear cut. ''Wen, all I've got to say,
Tom, is that you We're an idiot not to
stay there-she says it was all right
The pretty girl blushed heIplessly,
the first young man grew even more
confused; but the rest OF the unfeel-
ing passengers laughed.--Indianap
