Comedy la hot confined to the stage. A Second avenue belle who graduated at an eastern seminary has a íormer school chum visiting her. It goes for the saying that they are carried back to the days of their comradeship and having lots of fun, says the Detroit Free Press. The other evening after dinner the visitor threw on the cape and hat of her hostess just to run to the nearest store and procure a supply of bright ribbon she wanted to complete her wardrobe for a party that night. As she neared the house on her return the dusk was deepening and she was startled at the approach of a gentlemánly looking young man who lifted his hat and said, pleadingly: "Can't you walk for just flve minutes, little one?" She sprang past him with a scream and rushed for the front door, from which emerged on the run the father and brother of the chum. The youth in front took to his heels and there was a stern chase covering several blocks. The old gentleman examined the tracks in the snow the next morning and vowed that the "villain" must have had wings, as he only touched the pavements at street crossings. Both the laughing girls knew by this time that the fleeing youth was the resident girl's favored beau, who was not in the good graces of the father and had to carry on a catch-as-can courtship. That hat and that cape misled him.
