A young man took his girl to the
dance one evening lately, and being
one of the kids of the crowd, he had
not before had experience in the cost
bluffing the public servants when he
lacked their price. He bought flowers
for the girl (paid cash for them, which
was entirely too eXtravaganO and then
hauled her to the party in a carriage
He paid the driver when he got there
(another piece of foolishness) and found
that he had just five cents left, and
then spent the evening worrying about
how he was to get home. w nen the
dance was over he mildly suggested
that they walk back, as it was NOT
far to the girls home, but she was
tired, having danced all evening. and
was by no means willing to travel on
foot any farther, which could not rea-
soma bly, be expected of anyone who had
covered some so miles of territory be-
tween p. m and 1 a. n. This WAS
naturally diSquieting to the escort, but
he got the girl onto the street car, tell |
ing her to go into the car while he
stayed on the rear platform to SmCke- !
He dropped his lonely nickel into the !
money can, hoped off the car, and |
started on a run to beat it to the get
ting-off place. The car was crowded /
and made frequent stops, so that the |
runner able to finish the Mara |
thOn on time, reaching the crossing just !
as the car stopped. His breath came |
in gasps when he tried to answer her |
comments as they walked to the house, !
his tie was askew, his hat on one side, |
and his face was the color of a picked |
beet Smoking doesn't seem TO agree |
with y0u,'' she said sweetly, was that |
YOUR first cigar?'' Il am a bit tired
he answered, land BEING accustomed to
riding in carriages, 1 dislike this-er-
mode of travel"
