(This story was not written by Rudyard Kipling.) The Idle Hour Dance Hall in Jimtown was crowded to capaci- ty when Tessie arrived. The Pretty school teacher had not danced since she left New York and she could not resist the temptation to attend this ball. Attired in a new siesta loung- ing gown of red tape, trimmed with imitation tweedle berries, she was a picture as she shoved the doorman aside and entered the hall. The Jazz band had just finished “The Livery Stable when Tessie appeared. It was then announced that there would be no more music until the cornet player returned from the barber shop where he was going to getashave. Tessie considered this offictous. Dr. C. Hemmingway Potts, the pre- scription physician, stepped up to her. “May I have the next dance with you?’ he asked. “But will asked, it be soon?” she The barber {s a fast Suddenly sounds of a cornet were heard.

We decided to interview the young lady, “Well, Miss Campbell,” we sald, “how does it feel to be a prize beauty?” “I think"—— she began. “Oh, she's not stuck up,” said Mrs. Campbell. “To what do you attribute your success?” we asked. “I guess"—— Miss Campbell be gan. “Intellect,” came from her mother. “When she was a little girl she used to Ile on her stomach and read the letters on her blocks. When she went to school she didn’t have to go into the first reader.” “Do you wear the long skirt as per the dictates of fashion?” we asked. “why, 1” “Surely said Mrs. Campbell, Pleasantly. “Not too long, though.” “Are you in love?” “Well, that question"—— “She don't know anything about love,” said Mrs. Campbe}l. e"Do you wear the yah cor- set?’ “She's only sixteen,” came from Mrs. Campbell. “She will wear a corset when she's older, especially if she shows any fat. Corsets give one shape, but she’s just a little girl.” As we arose to go Miss Campbell said: “Now, I've told you all about myself, haven't 1?” “Indeed, you have,” “Goodb; “Goodby,” sald Mrs, Campbell.
