"In the seat just in front of me wero two well dressed gentlemen, who were carrying carry-ing on an earnest but very quiet conversation conver-sation with their fingers. When the train reached Utica a couple of stylish looking girls came in and took tho seat in front of tho two men, which happened to be turned facing them. Tho girls very soon noticed the finger conversation, and coolly proceeded to comment upon the personal appearance of the gentlemon In a very audi bio tone of voice. 'The fellow fel-low with the blonde mustache is pretty good looking,' said one. 'It's a pity he can't talk. I wonder if they're married,' and so they went on for a few minutes. Pretty soon the conductor came through tho car, aqdj much to tho surprise pf the passengers, who had been watching tho little scene, the gentleman with the blonde mustache stopped him and asked what time the train got to Syracuse. It was tin good as a show to watch the faces til' liusu gii ls. Tho strain was too much for thorn', and as soon as the train stopped they iuord into another car." Syracuse Herald. |
