THAT IS REAL, TOO.

THE'WOMAN WITH FLUFFY

HAIR.

A woman with very fluffy yellow hair and a man who looked like an ac\or came into the Union station, Boston, recently. They walked the entire length of thie big ! waiting room and took seats at the extreme [eastern end; As 'they went through the crowded room, the yellowness and fluffiness of the woman's heir was variously oommentejtl on by the people waiting for trains. The woman haii "occasion to go into the sleeping car office, and she sauntered down the room, apparently unconcerned ; and apparently unmindful Pf the curiosity of the crowd. Aa she walked back, a young man who had ogled her every time she .came within range of his blooctehot eyes, threw what was r suppos<*<i to be a jkipog smle at her and said to a friend who? stood near by: "Ain'.t she out of sight?" The womani paid no attention to him,, but when die reached her eeat she held an earnest consultation -Witii her companion. Then she got np and walked back through the room again. The young roan was prepared. He nudged his companion and said) loudly : ■'" " I wonder If that hair's real?" The yellow-haired woonafli walked! up to him and said : " What did yon say> sir?" The young mam stammered and blushed, and 1 finally managed! to say : "Pm sure I meant no offence, but wae wondering if that hair was real." The woman reached! over andi took his hand and lifted at to her hair. "Pull it," she eaid. The young man gave a gentle tug. He smiled sheepishly and said: "I guess it's real:" Then the woman' squared her shoulders and hit him a resounding slap in the 'face. "That's real, too/rfche said. ' And as she walked) back to her seat the young man slunk out of the door and her companion said; : " Pshaw ! you hit me a good deal harder than that when we do our boxing act." '
