MAIDEN LOST HER SLIPPER.
And Young Man Who Rescued It Was
the Envied of All Observers.

Everything about her bespoke the
returning Summer Girl as she tripped
blithely out of the Grand Central sta
ton, says the New York Press. In
one hand she carried a rather bulky
travelling bag, in the other she held
gorgeously f1owered silk sunshade, to-
gether with the ample reefs in her fur
beloved skirt and petticoats. The
daintiest pair of feet in tan slippers
fluttered from bene2tn the reefs as
she hurried through the throngs of in
coming and outgoing passengers to-
ward a Forty-second street car.
She was good to look at, despite the
deep tan of the summer sun and the
frieze of fragrant freckles across the
slightly upturned nose. AS she hoped
blithely into the first car that came
along it became instantly obvious to
other passengers that something had
gone wrong. They heard a shrill lit
tie soprano "Oh!" burst from her lips
as she looked around appealingly to
the car conductor, horror depicted in
every feature.
With a sudden jerk the car came to
a stop before it had gone ten feet. A
moment later young man ran up to
the side of the car where she sat. He
raised his hat decorously as he handed
up to Miss Freckles a little tan slip
pert couldn't have been more than
a three and -ahalf.

young man, "but think you must
have dropped this as you got on the

INJURED Miss Freckles, smiles and
bushes running riot over tan and
freckles, as she took the proffered slip,
per and coyly popped it down where
it properly belonged.
Can l be of any further service to
you, miss?" gallantly added the young
man, as daintily gloved hand started
on the mission of replacing the va
grant slipper.
"Oh! dear me, no; thank you," re-
turned the girl, with the sweetest OF
| smiles.
And then the car sped on, leaving
the slipper rescuer the envy of every
man aboard it.
