The other day old Mr.. PungleuD, O
Mob Hill, was commenting on the railroa
velocity with which young ladies jabbsr I
each other when they meet, without either il
the least understanding or replying to wins

sits Just mean falsehood gotten u
by you good for nothing menl !" said tn
youngest Pungleup girl, Indignantly.
"Al night, said her father. bemgnantly
''we'll try an experiment. | see you

street. Now, Ill wager that new walking
suit you want so much that you can sal
Roast turkey and cranberry sauce, in re
sponse to the half-doZen remarks sh,

81 never heard anything so perfectly
absurd" replied Miss P; however,
might as well have that suit-it's just tot
lovely for arything-so I'll just do it Il
teach you lesson"
"Mind, now," said her father, as the
front door bell rang, flair play. Yo5
mustn't change your expression in the
least, and you must repeat the sentence il
your usual voice and manner-that is tC
say, in single breath-an run together, a:

Just then Miss Gluckerson was shown
door old Picard Miss G-exclaim,
without even the smallest comma in the
whole remark:

age don't look on this hat perfect
fright gong to have flowers set back and
bow changed why weren't you at the
matineei Harry was there"
''Roast turkey and cranberry sauce, :"
rapidly inserted Miss P, accompanying
the words with that peculiar preliminary
and concluding gurgle with which all
women, for some occult reason, invariably
adorn their conversation when desirous of
being agreeable.
Going to Mrs. Badgers partyl" con-
tinued Miss Gluckerson, with the serene
rattle of brook over the pebbles. ''Molly
Smith is going they tell me she paints pas

"Why, how perfectly absurd you are,

$ on don't listen TO a word l say; | was
asking about Charles Boggs, not roast tur-
key. George Shelly thinks you're awful
nice. Now tell me what he did say. Good
gracious! what are you hugging me fori"
And, Tilda, thoughtfully remarked
Miss Pungleup, after the mstter had been
and her father admitted that he
had lost by a scratch, Il believe IN my
heart that if you hadn't thought about
Charlie just then | shouldn't have had any
new suit this winter"
