[From the Washington Chronicle.] A most amusing scene was witnessed on K street, the other day, A lady with a vig orous pullback skirt and an elaborate pol onaise was walking up K from Fourth street. Jfi that unaccountable outside, pocket which the fashion prescribes shall be trained to the rear and hung as low down as possible upon the last-named garment, she had anew, full spool of thread—just purchased evidently. An end of this, es caping from the open pocket, caught the eye of a K street gamin—a sixor seven- specimen. He deftly caught the end, arid, holding to it. found that it fefled off without the promenader being aware of it. He at once squared himself, sailor-fash ion, in the middle of the walk, and as she “pgid off” he “hauled in,” hand over hand, to the infinite amusement of half a hundred men who witnessed the operation. In a brief time the line reached cleai up to Fifth street from near Fourth, and as the lady stepped out on the flagging to cross the street the end ran off, and she went on with the empty spool, blissfully uncon scious of the merriment behind her back at her expense. The cruel men—and by this time a hundred had seen the unreeling pro cess—then began to speculate upon the look of blank astonishment which must have overpowered her countenance when, on reaching home, she found the spool empty, which she could assert was full when she purchased it.
