HER DAY OUT.
A story is told of two young ladies who hailed a tramcar, entered it, and found only standing room. One of them whispered to her companion— ‘ I am just going to get a seat from one of these men. You just take notice.’ She looked down the row of men and selected a sedate gentleman, who bore the general settled appearance of a married man.
She sailed up to him and boldlyopened fire : £ My dear Mr Robinson ! How delighted I am to meet you ! You are almost a stranger! Will I accept your seat ? Well—l do feel tired, I heartily admit. Thank you so much !* The sedste gentleman, an entire - stranger, of course, looked, listened, then quietly rose, and gave her his seat, saying as he did so, * Sit down., Jane, my girl: don’t often see you out on washing day ! You must be tired, I’m sure. How’s your mistress ?•’ The young lady got her seat, but lost her vivacity.
