Gbereiv No One Like Mother Dr. Minnis, one of the most prominent and popular students of N. U. D. S., some time ago- made arrangements with some friends to go to a dance at Wicker Park Hall. Now, Dr. Minnis was feeling in very good spirits, as he had very successfully passed an examination which was pronounced by the whole class as a corker. He was feeling so good, in fact, that he indulged in a second cup of coffee at dinner, to say nothing of several extra glasses of water, et cetera-especially the et cetera. Of course, the gang were good fellows, and on the way to the dance they set up the soda, pop, apollinaris water, et cetera, as mentioned above, and by the time they arrived at the dance they were all feeling in the best of '4spirits -just the proper mood for a good time. After awhile Dr. Minnis espied a young lady with whom he very much desired to dance, and he set about to find some good soul who would be so kind as to introduce him. It was all in vain, he could find no one in his aimless wanderings about the hall who could grant him the desired favor. But Minnis was desperate. He knew that he was good-looking QQ, well dressed and a good conversationalist, so, reminding himself of the old adage that A faint heart never won a fair lady nor a fat turkey, he de- cided to run a bluff. .lust as he reached this conclusion fortune seemed to smile on him, and the young lady came unattended across the hall in Minnis' direction. Minnis seized the golden opportunity and confronted the young lady with: I beg your pardon, but I feel greatly slighted that you fail to recognize me to-night. Do you not remember Minnis? Young Lady freflectivelyj- Minnis-Minnis-why. really, Mr. Minnis, I must confess that I don't just remember the occasion when I met you. Minnis-Can it be possible? Wfhy, I met you here in this very hall only a few weeks ago and had three dances with you. Young Lady- W'ell, I am very sorry, Mr. Minnis, but I don't remember one thing about it. Minnis- Well, at any rate, we'll not argue about it: and, to call it square, I'll ask you for the next two-step. Really. I think that you are the best dancer that I ever saw. Young Lady- Oh, pshaw, Mr. Minnis, you Hatter me. You just ought to see my mother dance. XVith that she Hitted away, leav- ing poor lylinnis standing in the middle of the floor, wishing that he was at home with mother, 187
