children, We're these women asleep. One
with her arms about the other, the dark
head very close to the blonde one, and the
whole air one of love and peace I am
sure that woman shows her true character
when she is asleep, and that woman with
any brightness at all can read her then, il
she cannot at any other time. l believe in
women-some wonderland so do you,
Dolly; then can you imagine for one
minute that that if Mrs Leighton had been
wT0nging nes friend she would have held her
so in her sleep? She might have as long
as she was awake, but the very instant
she was really asleep she would
have pushed her to one side. If you ever
saw mother with her baby, both asleep,
you know very we'll that, while she may
loosen her clasp, she will never let it out of
her arms. No, this is the state of affairs l
am contradiction is in love with Mrs.
leighton, and she permits it to a certain
extent, amusing him when his wife is stub
born and will not. caring for his having
pleasant time and persuading Margle to be
agreeable once in awhile. Nine. Margie
has an ability to be disagreeable that can
not be surpassed by anybody / know. and
Kate in Chrstendom," sometimes stops
this dreadful torrent. Well. 1 hope she
will find out nothing that will make her
call her friend kate the cursed" You
know Margie never rides, so when Tom
does Kate is with him to protect him from
the unknown blonde. She looks as smart
as possible on her horse, and Tom is so
BUSY LOOKING AFTER HER THAT
the mythical blonde is not thought of,
and the jealous wife is satisfied. Dolly, do
you think that variety introduced into jeal
Ousy would make it more endurable? 1t
seems to me that if, instead of reprOaches,
the position of a good cOmrade could be
taken for a little while, one could find out
all one wanted and in addition do it with
out any row. Then think how certain one
would be. Of course it would make one
indignant, but the way it was done would
be a lesson. Tell Elsie that for her to be
jealous about her Englishman is ridiculous
1 am keeping one very far-Sighted eye on
him, the one usually devoted to looking
after Jack, who is now permitted to roam
al ease for awhile; after Lent l always al
low the possibility of an indiscretion, and
am purpOsely blind. A man likes to think
he can deceive you. though nine times out
of ten he can do nothing of the kind. But
that's no reason why the poor fellow should
not have the pleasant belief.
Women are is aggravating-why, the
other night at the Braeme's I heard Breane
Jr., getting an awful hauling over the Goals.
His wife had found out, in an accidental
way. that he had been larking with
party of men instead of making a proSy
speech at his college society one evening;
so what does her ladyship do but get him
in corner there and then and give him a
very bitter piece of her mind. Bless us!
what goosey! She should not have said
anything to him about it then, but have
waited until she was in her own room.
where mistress of the surroundings and
the situation, she could have seated herself
on low stool, with her prettiest air leaned
against him, talked about tri1es, patted
him, and for interrogation marks given a
kiss or two, and for paragraphs lot of
nice names; then after awhile said. ''Oh,
you naughty boy! not to tell me about the
lovely time you had" etc., etc. Nothing
in the jewelry shops would prove too fine
for her next day, and as for
HER HUSBANDS BELIEF
in her goodness. 1t would have gone up
like the prettiest of rockets, and if she had
any ability at all, it would have stayed
there. The new play at the Madison
Square is witty, full of clever speeches,
beautifully put upon the stage, and it al
most goes without saying, we'll acted.
But-there's no reason for it. Bah! There's
no country in the world-that is,
the civilized world-where a young
woman could not make an appointment
with young man to meet in the conserva-
tory of the house where they are both stay
ing at 10 o'clock. And we are asked to be-
ieve that this is compromising in Washing
ton. 1t is quite ridiculous. Unless, in
deed, in that city of voteless population
everything compromises a young woman,
even her youth.
Are you tired of giving luncheons like
everybody else, why not have exactly the
menu of the luncheon that Brillat-Savarin
prided himself upon? This is it: Oysters
and Sauterne; roasted kidneys. pate de fois
gras and then fondue (omelet made with
Gruyere cheese; then fruit and sweatmeats.
mocha coffee and two liquers-the first "a
spirit to settle down, the second
the great diner himself. With your dishes
perfection. your table decorations dainty
and your grace as a hostess. you could not
make luncheon la Brillat-Savarin the
last smart thing.
Dorothy, now that Lent is over, the
classes done and the coaching soon to be-
gin. shall have quite gay time. though
next week will, of course be given over to
that ceremony which differs from hanging
only in having the sermon after the deed.
Poor souls! My sympathy goes out to all
the brides of next week, especially to those
who begin their new lives IN an exalted
state of mind. A course of lessons very
hard to learn awaits them. There are ad-
vantages only gained by experience.
Jack sends a greeting ''to the kids"
Slangy. isn't it? He adds. tell them that
next summer he will take them wading,
and then they will really be the vogue
undressed kids. 1 want them to be dar-
lings, to love their mother. Bah.
