THIS YOUNG LADY CAN TAKE
CARE OF HERSELF, EVIDENTLY
Three young, wen-dressed men,
who had probably a little too much
ginger ale," hdded their way down
Clark street late Monday afternoon.
The largest share of their kidding
was directed at young girl who was
a few PAGES ahead of the men.
Directly in front of the Palace the
alter one Of the men grabbed one of
the others hat and tossed it over the
young lady's head. 1t Lit directly in
front of her, after brushing against
the plume of her bonnet. ~
The young lady hesitated just long
enough to prod her dainty foot
through the hat several times-then
she went on. And the hat happened
to be a derby. 1t crushed very nicely.
No officer was called. There was
no confusion. The young girl merely
took charge of things herself and
she got away with the best end of the
argument very quietly.
More power to her.
