HOW THE RIVALS FELL OUT.
It was a bitterly cold day. A young lady was driving with two gentlemen friends, and as she was driving one of the gentlemen slily inserted a hand in her muff, and lovingly pressed her disengaged hand. She blushed and withdrew it just as the gentleman on the other side slipped his hand in the muff. She knew by the action of her adorers that the hand pressures were frequent and loving within the silk lining of the muff, for first one face and then the other would l>ob forward to catch a look at the sweet face and eyes. wKieh prompted, as they supposed, the tender pressure of the hand. The by-play lasted until tin' young lady quietly remarked, ‘lf you gentlemen have done with my muff I will trouble you for it now, as my hands are quite cold.’
The two gentlemen are not now on speaking terms.
