A young man who lodged at a house in Flathush, L. 1., where there were three coy damsels who seemed two imagine that men are terrible creatures whom it was an unpardonable sin to look at, was one afternoon accostpd by an acquaintance, and was asked what he thought of the three young ladies. He replied that they were shy and reserved, so much so that no gentleman could get nfar enough to tell the colour of their eyes. ' Yet I will stake a million that I will kiss all three without any trouble.' 'That you cannot do,' cried his friend ; c it is an achievement which neither you nor any other man can accomplish.'
