the young man she was dressed much as

tion had been frequent caller, so that
she understood his little mannerisms
and oddities and likewise had his little
weaknesses down f1ne." On that
particular evening, being little idle,
for lack of any new gossip to beguile
the evening, and noticing the young
mans nervousness, she of sudden took
it into her head to look at him with q
steady, nerve-stimulating nerve destroy
ing stare. To her amazement and de-
light he wriggled around little and ap-
peared uncomfortable, and then came
my lady's golden opportunity, and she
took advantage of it right royalty.
Out of the depths of her eyes. which
are set far apart and in color rival

pretty baby stare, which is so fashion
able now that every girl learns it. And
then when he looked at her and at
tempted to say something she dropped
her eyes, and her face seemed to take on
new hues and tints and flushings for
him. Thus emboldened he ventured to
say few pretty words, and with some
light conversation the evening sped
along, and he took his departure.
But that girl had made an impression,
and she knew it, and when there came q
sturdy sheet of note paper as square and
rough as the latest rude fashion dictates,
asking if he might call certain even

went to work to get herself up literally
to kill. for this time she had started in
upon the slaughter of the human heart
and she knew it.
Her hair, which had been made to
bloom by being brushed until what
would have been dull straw color was
a lovely limpid gold. was gathered up in
q lovely knot, a loose knot (ready to
fall should emergency reduirel. at the
back of her head, and her dress was one
of the half-loose and half-tight kind
that tells 80 little, yet suggests so much.
She knew that he would come prepared
to fall in love. and she knew, too, that
she was just the girl who could supply
him with everything necessary to feed
the tender passion She was altogether
as sweet and lovely as could be, and hel
skin, from being rubbed and massage6
in lavender, orris, almond meal, anG
bran, was as absolutely fragrant as .
