SHE FORGOT SOMETHING.
She was a tidy-looking girl of eighteen, but rather overdressed and a bit too vain. 'She entered the train and as she sat down it was noticed that she carried one glove' I. loose in her hand. This was to display the 'four rings on the fingers of that plump and pretty member. The gloves Were riot 40 rods long, and they did not have quite ■• 100 buttons each. They came as near it as fashion demands, however, and the girl looked pleased and satisfied. At the train station she jumped up and got out. The train went on and then it was noticed that . she had left her glove on the seat. A- boy about six years of age eyed it attentively for a few seconds, and then;whispered to his mother beside him, loud enough for all to hear : — : " Ma ! ma ! She's gone off and forgotten One of her stockings !"
