' " I was on a train out in Riverina the other day," said a travelling man, <l which stopped half an hour at a dinner station. A vain and dudish young fellow, with a small handbag, persisted in walking up and down the platform directly in front of the carriages and gazing impudently into I the faces of the lady passengers near ' the open windows. He was so impertinent that I soon found myself about mad enough to go out and give him 1 a talking to. But before I reached that point a roguish-looking young woman sitting near mo settled it a good deal easier than I could have done it. She stuck her head out of the window just as he was going by and called out to him. " ' I say, please, are you selling apples or lollies ?' il There was a titter the wholo length of the carriage, and no more annoyance freni the dudish young man on the platform."
