EaaAfioEssrxa to a Ladies' It is a critical moment in the life and clothing of a man when he gets down on his knees to look under the sofa for a ball of zephyr which a lady friend has droped. It is possible that he may bo able to accomplish this aad recov er his perpendicular with nothing more serious than a very red face and a general sense of having done some thing for which he should be sent from the room. But in nine cases out of ten he never fully recovers the good opinion of himself that he pos- sessed before he undertook the re- coverv 0f the ball.

It is alwavs just beyond his. reach, and in moment of weakness he drops down on his vest and commences to work himself under the sofa by a series of acrobatic feats that would have won him an encore on the stage. He is so intent upon the reCoverv of that ball that he auite forgets his appearance, until he isr- mkded by ft mmesSedi titter from one of the ladies. Then he realizes the situation, and commences to back out. Of course, his coat is worked up over his head, and he feels a cold streak creep up his back he pronounces a benediction on the man who invent- fid an 0Den.back sh irt.
