THE LITTLE BEAST.
Instead of getting up, the idea was firmly
fixed in his head that somebody was trying
to take that dog away, and he, by nearly
squeezing him to death, could save him. 1t
is well to finish the story by saying that the
dog was rescued, the small sinner threat

A few of the girls came in my room with
shawls and things about them, and that
wretched Jack, with his usual vanity, man
aged to get on his finest dressing wrapper,

girls. 1t was funny, too. None of them
were really dressed. Dressing gowns.

noticeable. Some were with and some

l sent the whole tribe off to bed, though
they did not want to go, and really, Jack
said. he thought they might have stayed
and been socable, Imagine about six girls,
with not any great amount of clothing on,
sitting about a fire, one man, much punch
and
ONLY ONE CHAPERoNE.
No, indeed, could not have been respOn-
sible for this party.
We have had visitor in the shape of
GRAY Wilton. He came here to officiate at
avoiding, but he has been busy in other
ways. An old friend of his had an attack
OF dellrlum tremens and he stood by him
as one sinner will by another and helped
nurse him. He would leave the d. Z. man
to rehearse for the wedding, to make love
to pretty girl, and then rush back to keep
two loving hearts asunder. Perhaps the
lovingness is exaggerated. bnl it did not do
I to let the mans wife get into his room, as
she did the pathetic, and it always made
the patient threaten to shoot her. She is
older than he, and very stout, SO that when
she weeps the dramatic effect is not good,
and he is man that goes in for the art in
the drama, even when he has the d. rs.
Of course it is dreadful thing, but it has
funny side, too.
All the weddings have brought the kissing
question up. Personally. l think there has
been too much Of a good thing as far as
the brides are concerned, for all the
wretched old frumDS who ever knew your
family claim a special right to kiss you at
such times. AS for that horrid old Sum-
merS,
HE KISSES EVERYBODY,
[ do believe. Dolly, you remember my first
ball? Well, if that nasty old man did not
insist upon seeing mamma to the carriage.
and just as [ was getting in kissed me right
on the shoulder, because he remembered
my mother at her first ball. I washed that
place until the skin nearly came of. And

remember that kiss and get Jack to sand
paper the spot. That kind of man is a
perfect scourge to society. Yet he exists,
and goes everywhere. At funerals, we'd
dings and christenings he is always to be
found, and he always kisses somebody,
though | never saw him kiss the baby
Still, he did the next thing-he kissed the
nurse. As an evidence of his sympathetic
nature, he says he never sees a woman in a
long Grape veil that he does not want to get
under it, kiss her and tell her how sorry he
is for her. One old woman who was hon

That Audrey wedding was very pretty;
but then they are all about alike. There they
did have goOd-lOoking usherS, and the one
who took me up was quite-well, you know
how nice an usher can be. He whispered
TO me how lovely we looked together, made
me promise to keep dance for him at the
ball, and gave Inc his word that should
have an extra box of
WEDDING CAKE
for some girls who wanted to dream on it.

have l gotten to know him so
well? Oh, we have met almost every
night this week. He says I fulfill the
dream of his life I have always wanted
to fill somebody's dream, and was so cocky
about this that l told Jack, who muttered
that Welsh rarebit and Bass ale came
nearer filling most masculine dreams. Men

took the man whose dream l realized, out
shopping with me, and I bought pair of
those lovely sea-green silk stockings. They
almost reach to your waist they are so long.
He said lots of nice things about Undine
and sirens and other rather wet but poetic
people. and L was i'll a state of deli

These stockings are pretty. but not to be
