A Simple Remedy.

“Gracious me!” said a pretty girl, making a wry face, “what a terrible bore these dudes are, catching up with a girl every now and then, and walking two or three squares.” , “Two or three squares are not so bad as two or three dozen,” replied her companion. “No, but they are so bad I can’t endure it much longer.” “-Why don’t you do as I do, and they*’!! never come near you ?” “How’s that?” “Why, just ask them to lend vou a nickel to pay your car-fare. It scares them away worse than a cat turned loose in a pantry full of mice.”— Mer~ chant Traveler.
