THE LADY RAMBLER
Refuses to See SaIvini From n BAL
cOny Seat.


Refuses TO See Salvini From n Bal
cony Seat.
Yes, you did see me cut Charley yester-
day afternoon, if you were looking, for L
certainly failed to recognize that individual.
as l have dropped him from my list of ac-
quaintances. You thought / liked him?
You thought he was nice? Well, my dear,
/ thought So too, but appearances are de-
ceitful you know, and it is so easy to be
mistaken. / have suddenly discovered that
he drinks, perhaps, or CANDLES? Oh, no,
indeed Charley's habits are most eX-
emplary; and as to his flirting with some
other girl-now don't be absurd. Every
one knows that he has been perfectly de-
voted TO me for the longest time. Occurred
recently? Only last week, but l shall never
get over il, never! What If he didn't care
about Salvini? l wanted to see him, and,
though I'm sure my hints upon the subject
were delicate as possible, considered il all
act Of common courtesy for Charley TO buy
tickets. and when he came around to tell
me he had secured seats for ''Othello," was
Just as lovely as 1 could be. 1t struck me
at first that he received with some embar-
rassment my expressions of delight, but we
passed pleasant hour and l thought no
more of it; imagine then my feelings when,
as he arose TO go, he observed in an off-hand
sort of manner, ''0hl had TO get seats up
stairs; you don't mind, do you?" His cool
ness, his audacity, fairly took away my
breath land l stood rooted to the floor i'm
speechleSs amaZement. The idea of his
dreaming of asking me to 20 to the theater
and sit up stairs? i actually thought for
an instant that he must have gone out of
mind, and that had better ring for assist
ance. He looked perfectly sane, however.
and at last recovered the use Of my
tongue. Mr.. Montague" said /, ''my dis
appointment is grievous. You are not the
gentlemen thought you. Henceforth our
paths diverge. We are friends no longer.
FAREWELL" and ] swept from the room with
high tragedy air that was
simply overwhelming. Explanations Apol-
ogiesr' Ny dear girl, you must be DAFT
What reasonable explanation for such con-
duct could there be, pray? And do you
imagine that would accept apologies from
person with so little appreciation of the
amenities of social life? Impossible.

Well, yes, 1 suppose these high-priced
entertainments are rather hard on the
young men. But, for that matter, no.
tice that the average youth generally is out
of funds; and, although he talks loudly of
feminine extravaganza, pin him right down
and he is obliged TO acknowledge that it
costs much more to go out with lot of
boys than to take young lady to the
most expensive of entertainments, with
carriage and supper thrown in.
So
have been observing of late how my
cousin Freddy's stock OF iewelry fiuctu-
ates, and by comparing notes with the
other girls / find that this fluctuation is
not at all uncommon. The day following
that upon which he receives his monthly
stipend he appears decked out gayly
enough, and he keeps up his display of
finery for some time. But soon his sea
ring disappears; few days later you ask
him for the time and he refers you to the
eIoek-his watch is being repaired; then
his diamond stud is lost to view; and, by
the end of the month. all his trinkets have
vanished. I'm soak?" Well that may be
the expression have heard used by Brother
Jimmy, but it sounds awfully vulgar, don't
you think?
Though that may have been what Fred DIV
meant when he said that his watch was Just
as good as balance at the bank.

OF course we expect they'n be seen, dear
boys,
And We fear not your glances keen, dear
boys,
For we truly, honestly mean, dear boys,
To show just the sweetest they bring;
The cross-walks, you know, are so far from
| clean,
We really can't help our hose being seen.

And speaking of hosiery, some peculiarly
striking effects are produced by perpendic-
/ ular stripes and diamond checks.

AS the woman in wrap of beaded gauze
and a straw hat passes her dearest friend,
who is still wearing winter bonnet and
| fur coat, there is such an interchange of
supercilious glances and scornful shifts that
the unpretending male observer feels sud-
chill strike to his spinal column and won
ders why that cold wave was not reported.

The new ribbons are too awfully lovely.
Heavy satin, YOU know. with the purled
edges of our grandnother's time. In dark
shades of yellow they brighten bonnets
otherwise dull, and are so rich and pretty
that one can't help enthusing over them.

If one may believe the evidence of ones
senses white rose" is the favorite perfume,
for in church, theater and ballroom that
odor overpowers all Others.
~
And by the way, mixture of 'white
rose" violet" and musk" if skillfulIy
prepared. produces delicious scent, though
the combination strikes one as being bar
barous

The latest thing in Jerseys has simulated
box pleats in front and back, and is pro-
vided with belt that is of course superfiu-

1 know, Clarissa, that ii will be dread
fully hard for you to listen to Jacks insane
rawlings over Miss De Lussan all the time
the Ideals are in town, but he is sure to do
It, so preserve your serenity. Don't crit
icise unfavorably her face or figure and for
goodness sake don't call on yourself TO re-
mark that she shakes her head like a goat.
or you will be told that mo woman ever
praises one of her own SEX" You Just de-
vote your time to the first tenor, and when
ever Jack begins to rhapsodize over the
charming prima donna, go into ecstasies
over Tom Karl. 1t will dampen his en-
thusiasm, and he will let up on informing
you that by jOve, that girl is a sumner" "
