Our Short Story. ] irK A W HI I.E. ¡ "Well, tliank fortune," exclaimed ihe girl, "that that fearful caricature of Columbus has at last been relegated to the old-iron man. I fancy the patronage of the Auditorium annexe will improve from now on. His nightmare ex- preSsion and outstretched claws used to give me a spell." "After all," said the man, "it was not so inappropriate"-she looked up hcrrioed- "for Chicago." "Why, what do you mean to insinuate ? You knew perfectly well that our art iaste is 'w:¡y beyond that; why, last year alone there were over a hundred thousand admissions to the Art Institute, and the Dore pictures were not responsible for them all, either." "I only meant," he replied meekly, "that the synbolism of the Columbus statue was no I inappropriate for Chicago. It is not a bad. embodiment of the true boodler spirit, the out- stretched hand expressing the grab for the whole earth." "If a New York man had said that I should have given him a look which would have eaten into his very soul, but I know perfectly well, of course, that you're all much a Chicago cham- pion 3.!1 I am-when you're away—so I'll let it tttjM. Wouldn't it have been effective to have had some veiling ceremonies ? The "director of the Art Institute could have read a little dissertation on high art, and showed how in every particular the statue failed of it; then the Mayor could have delivered a big-worded apology to the shade of Columbus for the I umntentional insutt to his memory; and, while I the Mayor's little daughter, all in white, let fall the shroud which was to for ever obscure the scarecrow, the loafers and greasy hobos, whose patron saint it was, could have filed slowly past with crape on their arms for a last look, while the band played a funeral dirge. I I do wish they had thought of it." I • t • • • The man began opening his mail in a leisurely manner; when he came to the bill from his florist ha raised his eyebrows in astonishment, and looked at it long and thoughtfully. 1 inally lie said: "Did you ever reflect ou love affairs from the florist's point of view?" "No," she said. "but the idea seems interest- „ ing; go on. I "I haven't given it much thought myself, but it occurs to me that an intelligent florist can pretty generally tell when a man gets the girl- or marries her—or abandons the pursuit. He can guess at the engagement by the orders sud- denly liecercing frequent and regular; and then infer whether it ever comes to a wedding .by the order of a bridal bouquet and the gradual |ce8fatiou of orders after that, until they finally stop altogether." "What a miserable comment on married life," sighed the girl: "if ever I'm married I shall insist upon my husband sending me violets at1 least once a week, if only "Perhaps you would stop him yourself after a while," interrupted the man, "in order to be I able to buy a. new parlour carpet." I "Carpet," she repeated scornfully; "I'd rather live on a bare floor and have violets than rest my feet on the most beautiful velvet carpet that ever came off- the loom. If husbands only under- stood that these little attentions count for a great deal more than a big bank account, and horses I and carriages, they'd consult their florist I oftener#" "It is rather strange," said the man, "that in married life they seldom think of consulting the person who helped them through the interesting period so effectually." I "When I was in Virgiiiia-" "There she exclaimed. "I wish I had done it." "Done it? Done what?" I "Why, sent. down word that I wasn't at home. I knew you'd begin, i When I whs in Virginia' before you had spoken three words." "But think how patiently I smiled and looked interested a couple of months ago when you 'When-I-wented' me nearly to death with Wash- ington." "That was different," she said, with dimity. "That was a national inauguration, and if you'd had a spark of patriotism you'd have simply p hung on my words." | "It's a cruel form of death, though, flinging— and besides^' he added, hastily, "I was going to tell you of a national importance thing, too— Bryan—William Jennings—he spoke at the University of Virginia Finals on the lawn, and all of us w'ho had a spark of patriotism went to^liear him—of course, I mean the inferior brand of patriotism; that is all we can afford down South since the war: not the superior, deckel-edged patriotism that we habituaD.v use in Chicago." "Oh, did you see him?" She became quite I interested. "Tell me what he said." "Well, to begin with, it was 98 degrees in the cool, shady places. He was ill the middle of the sunny lawn, under a little canopy, and around him was what- newspapers call 'a dense throng.' I "Of enthusiastic students and professors, I suppose? And wero they much affected by his pernicious doctrines?" "Y-e-s," the man answered doubtfully; "1 expect there were a few students and perhaps a professor; but mostly they sat under the arcades and chatted with girls and wondered what Bryan was talking about." "And the 'dense throng?' the girl inter- posed, indignantly. 'I am afraid that your command of choice reportorial phrases is leading you astray." "Oh that was tliere-countrymeln mostly, I under umbrellas, who were inured to a great I lieat bv homing corn. I tried to gat where I j coujil hear, but in the 'throng' it was at least 150 degrees, and I couldn't hear, either: so L too, found a girl. and sat under the arcades and the trees with her." "Then you haven't anything to tell me about it all." she said in disgusted tones. ''Oil, yes, I have! We paid strict attetnion. Bryan had large, expressive hands, which he waveti, but I don't kliink his smile that Mrs. Bryan so fondly described in his hook is so far-reaching as she makes out, and the Royal Aroanum has an excursion on July 3rd "What?" she exclunmed. "Everybody was reading them—the dodgers of the Norfolk and Western Railway," he ex- plained; "that is, those who weren't eating pickles and sandwiches. "Will you kiudly tell nie what you are talk- ing about ?'" "Bryan's speech, to lie sure. Of course, I don't mean that the professor? amd student? ate pickles—I explained that they talked with girls —but the countrymen who had got all of his speech they c ould assimilate, and their delicate wives, who couldn't etand the sun, sat on the steps of the students' rooms and ate and rettd the literature witioh enterprising railroads and tradesmen supplied us with gratis. We learned where we could-after. the speeeh-find a beautiful line of summer dress-goods; consisting of lawns, organdies, dimites and "But the speech?" the girl said a little help- lessly. I "The speech sank down like dmv upon that unemotional sea of umbrellas, from under which » muffled and sultry cheer would now and then emerge." "And you-" "And we cheered, too, from patriotism, about every half-column until we got tired and went away." • • • • ■ » J m • • "Well, if that is all you did, I shouldn't think you'd dare compare your trip to mine," the girl said. "I at least shook hands with President M'Kinley while-" "It is, of course, not entirely settled how much honour accrues to a man from shaking hands with somebody else—but, as far as that goes, I shook hands with Mr. Bryan. too. It was at the German that night; I was standing with two girls, when an alumnus offered to take them over to meet Mr. Bryan. They said they'd rather have Mr. Bryan brought to them, which was proper: so in a few minutes he brought in Mr. Bryan from the porch and introduced him. He seemed to be a pleasant-spoken gentleman." "Why didn't you tell me that at first?" she asked. "I didn't suppose," he answered humbly, "that you would consider his having shaken hands with me of more importance than all about his speech, and the Royal Arcanum excur- sion a$id the dimities and "Oh, it wasn't you," she said impatiently; "but I'm glad to sea that those girls appre- ciated their proper sphere, and made him come to them. If Chicago women had let old Yivekanaoda do some of the running after, he night not have gone to India and said such outrageous things about them. What did Mr. Bryan talk about?" "He said he couldn't dance. It was a fatal admission, and he sank immediately in public estimation—I used to wonder last year why Prof. Thornton and some of the others were s) much opposed to him. And he said he should feel better when he saw somebody as hot as lie had been that morning." "Didn't any of the girls offer to teach him to dance?" "No, indeed! "there were too many good dancers to waste time on any one else, even if he was an ex-candidate for -the Presidency of the United States.
