Fashionable girls hare their arms lathered and shaved before going to parties. Then with tbeir short sleeves they look too sweet for anything. And when they put their arms around their fellows' necks, there is no tickling,-but a steady, soft, velvety, pulsating circle of comfort, and the young man proposes in less than four weeks. When the indulgent mother calleth her son she gently, and in high soprano notes ecreameth " Charlie- c ! Charlie-e !" but Charlie oometh not, nor doth he give the sound a thought, but goeth about the business of hjs..play. But when his sire, enraged at th» dilatory notions of his offspring calleth v quickly and sharply, " Charles Frederick !" Charles Frederick hustleth homewards with alacrity, merely stopping by the way to insert the corer of his best spelling book where it will do the most good. A jocose youth reports that an intimate friend of his has a distant relative who made such a short turn on the velocipede that he cut off his own year by running his pwn wheel over it.
