Show Poor Percy. At a dance Pereival Claude was presented pre-sented to a beautiful young girl from an adjoining town, and during the evening eve-ning it was his great happiness to lead her out among the papier mache palms for ice cream and angel cake. "And so," said the girl, in response to Percival's story of his life, "you have never married?" . "No," answered Pewsival, "I shall never marry until I jneet a woman who is my direct opposite." "That should not be hard," returned the pretty one with a faint smile. "There are bright, intelligent girls in every part of the town." |
