INCONSISTENCY OF A WOMAN '

Young Man Who Foolishly Asked Girl for Kiss and Then Stole It la Finally Set Straight. ■ / Foolishly he asked her for a kiss; naturally she said “no;” bravely he took it, anyway; angrily she put him away; scornfully she told him what she thought of such action, and meekly he stood for the same old bluff. “i am and mad at you!”' she said, and she looked every bit of it. “I don’t think a gentleman would do Buch a thin£: and now, if you are going to stay here this evening. I don’t want you even to touch me, but let us sit here and talk like sensible people.” Thoroughly cowed, he agreed. Seeing, however, that she had carried .her little bluff too far dnd he was taking her seriously, she made use of a bright idea. "Will you promise to be good now!” she asked. “Yes.” “Well, let’s shake on it.” Solemnly they shook hands. "Now,” she said, with a cunning and meaning little twinkle in her eye, “you have touched me already and broken your promise. So, being as you have gone that far, you might as well go ahead and break the rest of your agreement.” Curtain! —Judge.
