THE EVENING STAR. A DAY IN PEPTICOAYrS: prise ose ee BY A MODEST YOUNG MAN. > “I couldn't think of such @ thing.” «But you must. .My happiness depends oa it. Here, put om the thingumboys, and the wDat's hie neme.” And my friend Bob Styles, held up before my poet gaze & whole suitof feminine ap- parel. Pais idea was that I should personate his Isdy love for. one day, toprevent anybody from suspecting the truth—namely, “that she had joined him in a ranaway marriage partyun- Ul it should be too late tor interference; that is, Bntil the minister should have tied a knot be- tween them that nothing bata special grant of the Legislature could untie. This scheme was not actually so absurd as itappeared at first sight. Maggie Lee was a tall, queenly woman, with an almost masculine Ait, and at that time, 1 had avery slight form —imost effeminate, eo that, in fact, there was really but little difference in that point. Then 1 had light hair parted in the middle, and put abonneton my head and few persons will eutpectthatI was not of @ softersex. These Aecresories aleo gave me quite a decided re semblance to Maggie Lee, eefeciatly when as in this case the disguise was her own. Then the day chosen for the runaway match was an auspicious one. Maggie's pa was to drive her to D. » &emall village near where she lived, and thereshe was to join a sailing party down the D. Tiver, to the greve three miles below; trom which the party was to return in the eveningin carriages. Our plan was, that I should be in waiting in the village, and should go on the boat with the failing party, while Maggie, after leaving her fatber would ship off with Bob Styles, across the (ountry. At \ast I got dressed, and presented myself before Maggie, biushin, at deal I believe, feeling very much pinched about the waist, and with an uncomfortable consciousness that my- my shirt sleeves were tooshort; or want- Ing altogether. Everything finished, inthe way of toilet, Bob Styles took me into his light wagon, drove me over to P- » by & secluded route, and left me at the hotel, where the salling party Was toassemble. Several of the pic-nickers ‘were already there, and they greeted my cay- alier with cordiality, (everybody knew Bob Styles) asking if he was going with them. He told them he was not. ‘*Pressing bisiness engagements, you know, and all that sort of thing. Dueed sorry I can’t go, though. I just had time to bring Miss Lee over, and now I’m off. Mr. Bimby this is Miss i.e2. Miss Withergall, Miss Lee,” and he rat. ed off along string of brief introductions, which convinced me that but few of the com- pany were acquainted with the young lady whom I was thus pereonating—a very tortu- nate thing for the preservation of my disguise. Mr. Bimby, a tall, legal-looking man, with a& hook nose, and eye-glass and puffy hair, eeemed to preporseesed with my personelle, snd 1 overheard him whisper to Bob Styles, as he went ont. “Nice looking girl that Miss Lee.” “Yes,” answered Bob, with a mischievous glance at me, “she is a nice girl, thougha little go-ahead sometimes. Keep a little look oxt en her will you,”—then lowering his voice mae 2 bad match for you, old fellow,she “Is she!” said Mr. Bimby, his interest deep- ening. “On my honor,” replied Dob. «Forty thou- sand dollars in herown right. Day-day!” and he was gone. Maggie Lee, artful creature thatshe was, had told ber father thatthe sailing party was to assemble at another hotel, and thither he had taken her. Having business in D. » Re left her there, merely saying that he would send the carriage for her &t eleven o’clock. She likes dutiful daughter kissed him, and bid him good. bye, and before he had got ahundred rods gotinw Bob Styles’ light wagon, which had driven up to the back door as Mr. Lee’s Grove from the front and the old story of head- strong love and prejudiced age was enacted over again. * As for us of the pic-nic excursion we had a delightiui sail down tothe Grove, but some- bow, | could not enjoy itas much asI ought to have done. When I walked on board the | boat, | felt awkward as if everybody was look- apg atme. I found Mr. Bimby, as I had sus- ected, & young and rising lawyer, mighty in jackstone and his ewn opinion. He insisted on paying my fare (the boat was a regular ex- curtion packet) and purehasing enough eranges pears, and candies, to setupa street’ stand. Four or five umes I was on the point of swear- ing at his impudent officiousness, but bit my tongue justin time to prevent my imposure- But it was not with him that 1 found my role the hardest to play. No; the young ladies were the diffeult ones to deceive, For instance there was one among them, & beautifal girl of seventeen. just return- ed trom boarding echeel, who had not seen Mazgie Lee for three years. Of course she was delightedtosee me, when she fopnd out that I was Maggie Lee, which by the way did mot occur until after we had started. She threw herself into my arms, pulled my veil | aside, and kiseed me halfa dozen times, in a Tanner, that made my finger ends tingle for anhour. It wasall very nice, but if had been in propria persona, I would have liked it better. Asit wasl felt asif I was obtain- ing goods under false pretenses, and lawyer Bimby might issue a warrant for my arreston Shat ground at any moment. A whole knot of crinoline then surrounded Me, on the upper deck ofthe boat, tothe utter exclusion snd consequent disgust of Mr. Bimby and all the other gentiemen. 1 kept very quiet, only speaking in monosyllables, ina fal- [ stio yoice, but the others—Lord bless you! how they gabbled! Under.a strict promise of secresy, the little boarding-school maiden who had kissed meso affectionately, revealed all | her love affairsand also became very unpleas- | anily confidential about other matters—inno- cemt enough in themselves, but not customar- iy talbed of between ladies and gentlemen. I was terribly embarrassed, but it would not | dotogiveit up then. As soon as my trick should become know Bob Styles’ trick would come out and news of that kind travels fastin the country, he and his lady-love would be te‘egraphed and, followed before’ they econld reach Philadelphia, where Styles lived and \v here the knot was to be tied. The river breeze was very fresh where we sat, and 1 noticed that several of the ladies were giancing uneasily at me. I couldn't di- Vine the reason, until Jennie, my little friend irom boarding-:chool, laid ber face damgerous- jy close to mine, and whispered: “My dear Maggie, your drees 1s blowing up terribly high —your ankles will bea town talk with the gentlemen!” : Now | was conscious of having & very small foot fora man, and had donned a pair of open worked stockings which came up nearly tomy waist, witha pair of gaiters borrowed trom a servant girl,in allof which toggery my “run- ning gear leoked quite feminine and respect- abie; butithe idea of the gentlemen talking shout my ankles, and of being thus by a young lady, who would have been frightened todeath if I bad told her the same thing yesterday, was too much for me. I burst im a sort of strangu- lated laogb, which I could only check by swal- lowing baltot my filagree lace edged band- kercbief. The young ladies all looked at me in apparent astomishment at sucha voice and i waited to laugh allthe more. Fortunately, Mr. Bimby came to my resene at the moment and edgea himself in among the crinoline. «May I sit here!” he asked pointing toa low stool pear me. “Certainly,” I simpered in my high talsetto. “Ah, thank you,”’ said Bimby—with ajacka- doical air which nauseated fme, as coming from one man to another—‘“you are as kind Ss you Gre fascinatin, ee flatter mer” ¢ “I! No, indeed; praise of you cannot be flat- tery, Miss Lees” i aay “Ob sir, really, you area very naughty man,” I said im the most feminine tone 1 gould com- mand He cist 9 languishing glance at me through the black lace veil, and I fairly began to Tear for bis “feelings.” We soon arrived at the grove, and found our band—engaged before-haad—awaiting us. Of course dancing was the first amusement, and lawyer Bimby, led me out for a schottische. it was hard, at first, for me to take a lady’s partin the dance,bat I soon gotaccustomed to it, A wallz was proposed and I resolved to have a littie amusement at the expense of the unfor- tunate Mr. Bimby. 1 bad first made bim purposely jealous by ButlIonly smiled, and said thatI should probable get tired first. “Oh, yea!” he exclaimed. “Of course; I can ofa Jong as any one lady, but not much For the first three minutes my cavalier did Well. He went smoothly and evenly, but at the expiration of that time began to grow warm. Five minutes elapsed, and Bimby’s breath came harder and harder. On we went, how- ever, and I scorned to notice his slackening up at every round, when we sedmyseat. Ar- ter some ten or twelve minutes, the wretched man gasped out between his steps. h, a—are you not—get— getting very tired. ee no!” Barat sorte coolly Ge Ae wpe in, an 6 Foom—*s 10, I fee] as it conid waltz all night.” Bain . cpl look of despair that he gave was terrible see. 1 was bound to see him through, however, and we keptatit. Bimby staggered and made wild steps in all directiens. His shirt-collar Wilted, eyes protruded, his jaw hung down; and, altogether, I saw he could net hold out much longer. “This is delightful,” said I, “and you Mr, Bimby, waltz so easily !” “Poff—puff—ah pusf—vyes—oh—puff—very puti—delightful,’ be gasped. “Don’t you think it ought to go a little faster!” He rolled his eyes hea venward in agony. “Ab, puff—puff—I don’t—ah—puff—don’t know.” - So when we neared the musicians, I said: “Faster'if you please—taster,” and they played a la whirlwind. dancing with two other young fellows one of whom I knew in my own character, but who never suspected meas Maggie Lee. Theyoung man was a great woman killer—a sort of easy devil-may-care rascal, who made the ladies Tun after him, by his alternate warmtn of ac- tion and coolness of prostestation. I selected bim to ‘play off against my legal admirer. I sliowed him to hold om me very closely and occasionally fooked at him with a half fasci- nating expression. When westopped danciug he leo me to my seat, keeping-his arms about my waist, and I permitied it. Having thus stirrea Bimby up to wrathtul feats of valor, I asked one of the gentlemen to Cirect the musicians to play a waltz. Bimby came immediately. “Abem—a—Miss Lee, shall F have the honer of—s—trying & waltz with you?” I smiled & gracious acquiescence and we commenced. Now, Lam an old stager at waltzing. I can keep up longer than any non-professional cancer, male or female, whom IT ever met As long ®s the Cachuca or Schounebrannen rings fo my ears, I can goon ifitis a year. Net so Bimby. He plead want of practice and said besaop got dizey. “A old. boy,” thonghtl, “I'll give youa Surp then!” Poor Bimby threw nis feet avont like a fast pacer, and revolved after the manner of & tee- totum whDich was nearly rundown. At last he staggered 8 lew step backwards, and spin- ning eccentrically away from me, pitched Deadlong in the midst ofa bevy of young la- dies ma corner. I turned coolly, walked to My seat, and sent the young woman killer atter a glass of ice-water. The miserable lawyer recovered his senses just in time to see me thank his rival for the water. 1 got some idea from this ef the fan young ladies haye in tormenting us poor deyils of the other sex. At this juncture, and before Mr. Bimby had time to apologize for his accident, little Jennie | came running into the pavilion which served for aball-room. Asshe came nearl perceived that her hands were clutched tightly in her dress, and I positively shuddered asshe whie- pered to me. “Oh, Maggie! come and help me fix my skirta—they all coming down ” What should Ido? I wasin agony. A cold perspiration broke out upon my forehead. I wished myself & thousand miles away and anatbematized Bob Styles’ masquerading pro- ject inwardly, withj feartal maledictions. I said I was tired out—could not somebody else go? No, nothing would do but I must accom- pany her to the bouse of a gentleman who | owned the grove, aud assist her to arrange her | clothing. So I went. What if it should be necessary to remove the greater partofherraiment! Whatifshe should tell me to do some sewing? What if in the midst of all the embarrassments of being clos- eted with a beautiful girl ofseventeen, in state of comparative freedom trom drapery my real sex and indentity should be discovered by her! I felt as if an apopletic fit would be a fortu- nate occurrence for me just then. However, I nerved myself for the task, | and ascompanied Jennie to the house designa- ted. An eid lady showed us into her chamber, | and Jennie heaving a sigh of relief let go her | dress. Asshe did so, a—pardun my blushes! | a petticoat fell to the floor. She was abont . to proceed but I alarmed her by @ sudden and | vehement gesture. ~ “Stop!” I cried frantically and forgetting my falsetto; ‘stop! don’t undress for God's sake!’ Shecpened her great brown eyes to their widest extent. “And why not!” “Because I am—I am a—can you keep & se- | eret?” «Why yes—how frightened yor look!” Why what is the matter—Maggie!—you—why—oh! ob! oh? And she gave three screams. «Hush, no noize, or I am lost!” I exclaimed, putting my band over her mouth: I swear I mean no harm; if] had I would not have stoped you. Don’t you see}” She was allcf a tremble, poor little thing; butshe saw the force of my argument. «“@h, sir,” she said, I see you are aman; but what does itall mean? Why did you dress 60? I told her the story as briefiy as possible, af- ter exacting from her a promise of the most sa- cred secresy. Ithem went outside the door, and waited till she had arranged her dress, when she called me again. Shehad heard of me from Maggie and others, and wanted to hearall the particulars; so I satdown by her, and we had a long talk, ‘hich ended in mutual feelings of | friendliness and old acquaintanceship, quite wonderful for people meeting the first time. Just 88 we started to go back to the pavilion, I said I must relieve my mind. of justone more burden. nd whatis that!” she said. “Those kisses. Youthought I was Maggie Lee, or you wouid nothavegiyenthem. They were very sweet, but I suppose I must give them back. And I did. She blushed & good deal, but she didn’t re- sist only when I got through, she glanced up and said. «J think you are real naughty anyhow.” When we retreated, I found lawver Bimby ‘PERSONAL.

BOOTS AND SHOES, quite recovered from his dizziness and all hands for supper, which was served in the ball-room. I sat between Bimby and Jennie! and made love to both in turn; toone as Mag- gie Lee and e other as myself. After sup- per, at which I astonished a great many by eating rather more heartily than young ladies generally do, we had more dancing, and I hint- ed pretty strengly to Mr. Bimby that I should like to try another waltz. ...., aI He didn’t take the bint, Finding it rather dry amusement to dance with my own kind, soon abandoned that pleasure and persuaded Jennie to stroll off in- to the moonlight with me. Wefoundthe grove & charming piace, full of picturesaue little cor- ners and rustic seats; and great grey rocks leaning out over the river. On one side ot these latter @ little bench was placed; ina nook sheltered from the wind and from the sight. Here we sat, in the full flood ofthe moon- light, and having just had dinner, I telt won- dertully in need of a cigar. Accordingly, 1 went back toa little stand near the ball-room and purehased several of the wonderfal wo- man who sold refreshments. Then returning to the seats by the rocks, I gaye up all cares or fears for my incognito, and revelled in the pleasures of solitude—the fragrance of my ci- gar—the moonlight—and little Jennie’s pres- ence, Hiow long wesat there, heayen knows. We talked and laughed, and sang, and looked into into each other’s eyes, and told fortunes; and performed all the nonsensical operations com- men amongst young people just falling in love witb each other, and might have remained,there uulithe month of August, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fifty-seven; for aught I know. had not the carriage been sent to conyey us home and the restof the com- pany began to wonder where we were. This wonder begat questions, the questions fears, and fears search, headed by the valiant Limby. They called, and looked and listened, but our Fosition down in the sheltered nook among the rocks preyented them trom hearing us or us them. Atlength they hit upon our path, and all came along, single file, until they got to the open space above. ‘Then they caw a sight. I was epead out ina freeand easy position, my bonnet taken off, and my hair somewhat towzeled up. One foot rested on the ground, ana the other om arock, about level with my head, (regardless of ancies this time,) and there I sat, puffing away in @ very unlady- like style. Jennie was sitting close beside me with her head almost on my shoulder, and her small waist almost encircled by my arm. Just as the party came along above, I laughed out in: a joud masculine voice— to think of poor what's his-name there, Bimby! Suppose he ‘Knew that he had been making Jove to @ man!” ‘Hush! cried Jennie. ‘Look! there he is— &nd, oh my gracious! there is the whole com- pany! “Yes, we are fairly caught.” It was of no Use for me to claspon my bonnet and assume my falsettoagain—they bad all seen too mach forthat. Besides by this time, Bob Styles and Maggie Lee were doubtiess ‘one flesh,” and my disguise was of no further importance, so 1 @wned up and told the story. Lawyer Bimby wasinarage.
