Seeing Her Oƒ.

Beenes like that described below are so frequent that the traveling public will recognize the picture. A young lady, itarting upon some short journey, is accompanied to the train by half a dozen of her feminine acquaintances and a young man or two who have come “to see her off." Ail come bustling into the car, and a very lively and interesting dialogue ensues. “Wish I was going with you." “I wish so, too." “I hope you’ll have a real good time 1" i “Oh, I’m sure i shall" “Have you got everything 7" “Yes, I guess so." “Is your trunk checked 7" “Yes.” “You'll write to me, sure 7” “Oh yes.” “And to me ? “Yes." “Give my love to the folks." “Yes I will" “And mine, too. What a lovely day for the trip I” “Isn’t it perfect ?’’ “Don’t you want the window up 7 “No, I guess not. Don’t forget to write often.’’ “No, I won’t, and you must do the same.” “Yes, I will.’’ “Wouldn’t it be a joke if we got carried off 7 “Wouldn’t it? Oh, there’s the bell! Come, girls, quick! Good-by, dear!” with a hiss. Here follows a hurried chorus of goodbys and kisses, at the conclusion of which the giddy creatures go chattering and ikurrying out to the platform. The travjller throws up her window, and they iay it all over again, screaming their “good-bys” bach and forth, and throwing kisses and fluttering handkerchiefs as loug as the train is in sight.
