The cr.r wns crowded with shoppors, each of whom carrlod tho special brand of headstrong and aggressive bundle that shopping alone can yield. Tho woman stood In various attitudes of peril and discomfort, and made those what sat still moro uncomfortable uncomforta-ble by Jabbing them or half smothering smother-ing them, A tall woman, with angular bundles In her arms and wrath In her eye, had been torturing a small, shrinking shrink-ing man during tho passage from Fourteenth Four-teenth to Seventieth street, says the New York Press. There he arose with what sounded like a sigh of relief. The dignified woman pushed him back to his seat, saying with a smllo of grim satisfaction, "I havo stood so far, and I am perfectly able, sir, to stand the rest of the way." Ho subsided with a gasp, but at the next corner ho nroso again. "Bo seated, seat-ed, sir," sho said, "I do not caro for your seat." Ho choked a little, but managed to Bputter, "You can stand If you wish, but this Is two blocks beyond my street. I must get off." Tho other passengers smiled, but thero wns an ominous frown on the dignified woman's brow, nnd it boded troublo for somebody at home. |
