Lady at Monon Wanted to Get Her Exact Weight.

Monon News. The boys at the depot were made to blush when a lady passenger off the Michigan City train No. 9 due here at 11:20 a. m. walked leisurely to the scales on the little platform north* of the Monon house, which is 3 feet high, stepping upon it with difficulty on account of her tight skirt and weighed herself. After doing this she laid her muff, furs and pocketbook on the platform and reweighed, then took coat and hat off and reweighed again. After doing this she started to fix her collar and the boys were afraid she was preparing to reweigh again and ran from the window to save blushing any more. When they went back to the window as train No. 5 was pulling in she was on the platform fully dressed, and ready to leave town.
