He gave three
pairs to Huldy, who in turn gave one pair to her mother and one to
Alice. There were several pairs over, as several girls who had been

"Now, Mrs. Mason," said the Professor, "could you kindly supply me with
a couple of small baskets, or if not, with a couple of milk pans?"
The Professor took one of the pans and Robert Wood the other.
"The ladies wall please form in line," cried the Professor; which was
done. "Now will each lady," said the Professor, "as she marches between
us, throw one wrister in one pan and t'other wrister in the other pan?
Give us a good, lively march, Abner," he added, and the music began.
The procession passed between the upheld pans, one wrister of each pair
thrown right and the other left, as it moved on.
The music stopped. "Now, will the ladies please form in line again,"
said the Professor, "and as they pass through each one take a wrister
from the pan held by Mr. Wood."
The music started up again and the procession moved forward and the work
of selection was completed.
