Show POOR MATERIAL FOR WARMTH i Mother Evidently Did Not Entirely Approve of Apparel Which Adorned Her Daughter. They were crossing vYashlngton street at Meridian, after the theater, a tew nights ago, and It seemed that mother nnd daughter we-e not perfectly perfect-ly agreed on the nature of daughter's apparel. At theater time the weather was balmy, but when they came out. It had been raining and thofigh there was no shower at the moment there was much wind, and daughter's filmy white silk skirt was blowing about in dangerous fashion as she stepped off the curb. She stopped repeatedly and pulled the skirt down, then fairly ran to the shelter of the Merchants' Bank building, leaving mother, who was a bit plump, to roll along as best she could. "Why didn't you wait for me?'' demanded de-manded mother, on reaching the girl. "Well I" was the retort, "my ears are not cold. I wasn't going to poke along there and let my skirt get up around my ears, was I?" "If my ears were cold," said mother, surveying the filmy skirts, 'Td hate to try to get them warm with all you have on." Tndlanapolls News. |
