ASKING AN IMPOSSIBILITY
One of the raoieat aneodotes now going the rounds la related of a prominent yonng lady m American aouiety whose handsome figure/displayed m the most deoolete style has for several seasons past been the subject of universal comment. Recently, having determined to go from Washington • to New 1 Tork for a stay of several weeks,' •he summoned the family physician, md informed him of her desire to be vacoinated before leaving. In response to the natural query whether she would have the virus applied to her arm she shrugged her pretty shoulders m horror at the very idea. "Ob, dear, no doctor ; not on my arm, of course; put — well put it m any place that it will not be seen." For an instant there was ailenoe m the room ; then, after •> careful survey from the crown of the share y blonde head to the tips of the small, wellshod fee', the physician shook his head, looking to the anxious face of the beauty as he gravely rim irked : ''In that case, madam, there is bat one thing to be done — you must swallow it."
