uer Slrl Tn the Dlue wrapper cried out again; You must be sure to stay to Mfs.---s swagger german. She's go- ing to give the swaggerest sort of a german on Thursday night"
 Then, going further, and approach ing the Court House, we met a good looking. graceful young fellow. who. when he saw the yellow -haired girl. ran forward with hand extended. and Tn reply to the girls query as to how he was. said: "Oh, I am not so many. am trotting behind. I am still on the beach, but not many" Then the girl said: oh, yes you are; you are the shiningest pebble" Then the boy said: "Rut why did you send back my ring? tell you I was rattled and tatooed and doubled up when that ring came back" The girl replied, "I did not like to keep the ring, simply be. cause 1t was such a handsome one, but 1T you wish me to wear it while I am here I am more than willing, for it is much handsomer ring than any l ever had" Thereupon he drew off of his little finger an extremely hand- some diamond solitare and slipped 1t on one of her fingers; stepping back one step. he nodded, and, smiling at her. said: Now we are all hunky" At this our eyes popped out of our head Tor sheer astonishment, and rolled about on the pavement like marbles Now we are all hunky" As we pur- sued our way we said: What upon earth did the young man mean when he said to you, We are all hunky?" She replied: oh, it means that we are all right with each other: good friends and all that sort of thing" Now, we walk on further and, coming up street there heaves in sight a yellow haired city girl flanked on either side by a handsome boy. They are coming up street in high feather. They appear to be supremely "hunky" As the vel low-haired city girl saw the yellow haired country girl, she cried Hello! hello! hello!" and ran forward, threw her arms around her, kissed her and cried. "Oh, you sweet, old rascal, you pull my leg, pull my leg" Then the boy on the right who knew the coun- try girl, said with great animation
 "Oh, know what you have come back here for. You have come to get a still tighter cinch on us poor. suffering boys" Cinch! Then the city girl pointing to the young fellow on the left, who was stranger and had not yet been introduced, said in a loud whisper to the country girl: Hes a daisy; he's a Jeems Dandy. It will pay you to pull his leg a little At this our old eyes again dropped out and rolled on the pavement Then the newly introduced boy bowed very gal lantly and said: "Oh, Miss pull on me became very tight the moment I beheld her lovely eyes" Then the city girl tapped him on the shoulder and said: Come off, come of that sounds bum.''
 At this the other young man put up both his hands before his face and said: "Oh, give us a rest-give us a rest; it's all bum. very bum!' At this point a third handsome young fellow passed, smiling and lifting his hat very politely; and as he went on the country girl craned her neck after him. Then the city girl. pulling her by the sleeve. said "Oh, don't waste your time looking at him. You needn't pull his leg. for he is a perfect Joe Mary" Then they all laughed immod- erately and agreed to have q swagger time at Mrs.--'s german. As soon as the city girl got out of hearing. we said to the girl at our sic: "Merciful heaven. child, what did that girl mean by telling you first to pull her own leg and then to pull the young mans leg? You certainly. wouldns do such a thing as that under any possible circumstan- ces, would you?" Then the country girl almost died with laughter at our virtuous greenness and said: oh, that only means that you must taffy the boys little so that they will drive you. and take you out to dances and give you Ice cream ana flowers, etc. Ton know. when boy is off at col lege now days, and wants little money, he says that he pulls the old mans leg for little dab" She did not mean that I must actually pull the young mans leg of flesh" We said: Thank God for that much" Then we continued: But. what did she mean when she said that the young man who passed us without stopping was a Joe Mary? ". The answer was: Well he's good boy enough--only most too good. He is sorter pious and doesn't dance the german, nor go to the thea tre, nor scorch it on the wheel. nor treat to ice cream; consequently he's
