THEY ARE STRANGERS NOW.
A Micldelton youug lady never tires of relating an amusing occurrence of the sleighing season last winter. She was enjoying a ride with two Hartford gentlemen and she was driving. One of the gentlemen slyly inserted a hand in her muff and lovingly pressed her disengaged hand. Sha blushed and withdrew it just as the gentleman on the other side slipped Ins hand into themuff. 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 bob forward to catch a look at the sweet face and eyes which prompted, as they supposed, the tender pressure of the hand, The by-play lasted untill the youug lady quietly remarked: ‘lf you gentlemen are through with rny muff, I will trouble you for it now, as my hands are getting cold.’ And the gentlemen, who nnd been comfortably warm up to this time, suddenly felt an Arctic chill creeping up their spinal columns and the mercury of their feelings dropped to ISO degrees below zero. The two gentlemen are strangers now.—Hartford Times.
