RECREA TION. 



turned the conversation to Walt's new bi- 

 cycle suit. 



" Did you say you wished a glass of 

 water, Miss Dunne? " I remarked to one of 

 the young ladies, who, by the way, was one 

 of Walt's friends. Before she could reply, 

 Walt, who sat nearest the aisle, gallantly 

 rose from his seat, and started up the car 

 to the water tank, leaving the rent very 

 much in evidence, to my extreme delight. 



Returning with the water, he could not 

 comprehend the meaning of the half con- 

 cealed merriment. 



" Yes, I bought this suit because I liked 

 the color so well," remarked Walt. 



' You bought it, you say? " asked Miss 

 Dunne, with a smile, as she took the prof- 

 fered glass of water. 



" Why, certainly," answered the smiling 

 but embarrassed young man. " How did 

 you suppose I got it? " 



" Well," said she, " judging by appear- 

 ances, I — I thought you must have rented 



a." 



" Martinsville! " yelled the brakeman, 

 sticking his head in the door. And Walt 

 never knew what she meant by a rented suit 

 until he reached home and changed his 

 clothes.
