Wha, does he think asked him here for
If il wasn't TO fall in love with herr
I've no patience with such stupid people.
Don and met, fell IN love, and were mar
ried inside of three months. That's the
way to do things. I'm 80 mad ! don't
know what 10 do. She mad this morn

more effective than If had ragged and torn

They looked so well together. too, 4
regular pair Of Saxons. Even their names
match and had set my heart upon ii. 1t
is really very rude TO the q hostess. There

It again.
They are such lovely match. Don and
! don't match. ve contrast, which is Just as
we'll He is Spanish-looking. which is one
reason why every body GALES him Don. He
has a clear olive complexion. velyety brown
eyes, and thick. brown hair that he keeps
very short 50 people may not know its

soon any one should know my hair is curly.
which makes me think I'm naturally strong
er-minded than Don. am very fair-not
particularly pretty. OF course know my
good points. and do thoroughly understand
shout contrast and harmony.
She doesn't think about such things.
Luckily. though, she is one of the people
whose clothes look as though they had
grown on. If she appeared at ball in a
night-dre.s and nght-cap. all the men
would rave about the classic simplicity Of
her style, and all the women would say,
How frightful" /" aud the next week the
prices of night-dresses and night caps would
60 up.
I've always loved her. She's so strong
and steadfast like to be with her She
could 2ever be popular" though l don't
know why people call her proud and pc
what may, though other people | love in the
morning, bate at noon, and am indifferent
TO at night. But she was unkind this morn

home" And so shall have to stop.

and have only just got back. feel better
now have bought the loveliest pale green
dress of some gauzy shimmery stuff, and
yards Of the most perfect ribbon. There is
nothing like ribbon, if q person is small
enough to wear it. TO make dress pretty
and graceful. A big person with ribbons
always makes me think Of
Decked with flsgs and streamers gay.
Perhaps | could have got along without
the dress, for have a good MANY. We are
not rich, and so | thought as long as had
bought the dress I'd be economical, as
always am now, and cut il myself | went
to work. cut it all wrong. Wasted
completely wasted | am the unhappest,
unluckiest person that ever lived. Why
was ever born, anyway?
Then he and Don came home, and Don
came running up to find me. He always
does that the first thing, though we are an
old married couple. We have been married
nearly year now, and We have never had
quarrel, and never shall. We respect each
other, that is why. should no more
think Of being unhappy or jealous about
Don than-ths he would of me. We are
both too sure We adore each other

leave them to each other on the piazza,
and there hasn't been picnic or boating

came me as | thought how ungrateful she
had been.
Don whistled. wish he wouldn't;
don't think it is quite respectful. And just
then l looked out of the window and saw
that Mike hadn't raked the driveway. And
somehow it was too much for me, after all
| had been through that day, and l burst in
to tears. To this minute | don't know
whether it was my ruined dress, or Mikes
stupidity, or her perversity that did it.
Then Don laughed, and the more / cried the
harder he laughed, till by and by he said ::
"Would you mind telling me what it's
all about? for haven't an idea"
