Developing a Sudden Attachment.

An amusing incident was witnessed on State street yesterday. A young woman was walking slowly up the street, oblivious of anything or anybody but herself and a white poodle which she held by a bright red ribbon. The young woman carried a parasol with a long hooked handle at a slight angle over her shoulder. Suddenly she felt a violent jerk of the handle of her sunshade and she turned with an angry start to find she had “hooked” a handsome-looking young man, the handle of the parasol having caught in his upper coat pocket. Apologies were murmured, and while the man with the assistance of a friend recovered his equilibrium—and coat —the young woman, with face the color of the poodle’s ribbon, passed quickly out of sight.— Chicago Tribune.
