with a longdrawn sigh while one of them said
nsdreary tones. "Oh, I'm so tired" so am
| L., said the other, Il am too tired to talk
| Then they started in with a wild rush to tell
| how tired they were. One of them had not been
so tired since Louise had got her wedding out
| fit That was terrible. They used to walk every
| day until it got dark, and shop and shop until
| they grew dizzy. The other did not like shop
ping. She did not see the need Of it anyway.
| Men never did any shopping.
"Oh, mem" broke in her companion disdan-
| fully. They are so unfeeling, always making
| fun of us for going shopping. Just as if we
wanted to do it. They won't believe that we
| hate it. | don't see why we tolerate men.
| They are so awfully stupid, aren't they p
The dignihed-lOoki man who sat directly
| behind them moved uneasy in his seat. Some
| thing like shadow of disgust came over his
| face.

"Way, Annie"
The stately man got up with a look of misery
in his face and went TO the farthest corner of
the car. Occasionally his eyes looked daggers
in the direction of the two young women.

car, said Annie. No, don't look now; I'm
afraid he saw me. Now look. his head is turned
away. Did you ever see such looking obiect?'

The guard threw open the door and cried out
loudly; Park Place, Park Place. The yonng
