"0h, left them in their paper. There
were only half q dozen Of them. There
are three or four other punches Of flowers
for you this morning, though none from
any one Of consequence"
1t could hardly be expected that a girl
Of %, with big, penetrating eyes and swift
flowing blood, would agree with heI
mother as to who is Of consequence and
who is not. Il is not surprising that she
does not even 90 into the drawing room
to see the nobleman'S orchids, and that
she hunts up that small bunch Of roses
from Jack and takes them to her boudoir.
Society girls actually have delightful
qualities Of heart and mind 10 start with,
and occasionally they retain them through
the excitement Of social training. It ID
rather difficult, however, TO Withstand the
influence Of friends and parents and rise
superior to conventional ambitions. Per.
haps Dorothy Is sentimental and honest
hearted at 20, but It would be hard 10 say
what she may be at 2I. A clever mother
can accomplish GOOD deal In q year.
DoROrHY's VISITORS.
There is peal Of laughter in the hall.
A particularly clean shaven, dignifed
and stately young servant annoL.:ces the
arrival Of Miss Won Beeckman, Miss
CadWRllader-Jones and Miss Fahnestock.
These young ladies, by invitation, come
rushing up to the morning room, bringing
with them the breezy sweetness Of the
cold outer air, and Dorothy becomes q
target for their caresses. Society girls
do not chatter, but they seldom abandon
their feminine predictions so completely
as not to talk with dazzling rapidity.
Four Of them together are almost as
exciting as fireworks.
"What did you think Of him? Hasn't
he frightfully red nose"
Mamma says he's a chum Of the
Prince Of Wales"
"What is his full title2 His father ID
very feeble, you now, and it would be
rather clever, wouldn't IL, to marry an
earl?"
"Jack says he told the man at the club
that the hest thing he had found in
America were the gin cocktails and the
women"
"Between you and me, don't think
he wants to marry very much. He ran
after the married women all last night.
You were the only girl he took any notice
Of, Dorothy. How does he impress your
Smelly"
$50 l thought. And then his whiskers.
They are so like my poodle"
"Tll wager you are engaged to him
within q month";"
"Oh, how can you? They say he has
two Of the finest estates In England. MN
l wish my Dick had been q viscount.
Dear me, the greatest thing he did was
to get his nose broken playing foot ball" g."
"Where are you girls of TOT"
"Going to get q Turkish bath. We
want you to come along"
"Oh, no, l can't. I'm going to take Q
gallop through the park with Jack in
half an hour. I'm q little seedy, too.
Walters! Walters"
The stately servant steps in from the
hall.
Bring cocktails" says the young
hostess.
As the servant departs to execute the
order another, quite as clean and stately
as be, enters.
"Mr. Rutherford is hat the door with
is trap, and will Miss Dorothy ave Q
driver"
mo, Wilkinson. Tell Mr.. Rutherford
I am 4 tribe indisposed-oh, no, don't do
that. He will zee me in the park later.
Tell him I'm engaged in my sculptor
class"
"Oh, Dorothy" cried one Of the young
women as the servant leaves the room,
81 heard some one order q bracelet for
you at Tiiiany's the other day. sha'n't
let you know who 1t was."
"Diamonds?"
Diamonds and pearls"
Its Jack, then, and he must have
stolen the money to do il with. He's
such dear fellow. How do you like my
hair down In q coil? ?"
Lovely! Is that one Of your Worth
dresses?"
"Yes; rather pretty, isn't it,"
lawfully. Isn't that loose look at the
waist just swell? And those puffy sleeves.
They are dreams. How did you ever
think Of that sweet Checkered jacket? It's
all SO soft and Aoaty, isn't IT."
Walters appears with the cocktails.
They are called cherry cocktails for the
reason that each contains q preserved
cherry, which the young women pick out
Of the glass with their finger tips after
consuming the slight draught Of YER
mouth and whisky. On the tray with
the cocktails is a small crystal dish filled
with sugared rose leaves.
wilkinson, the otheg servant, bears into
the room Q card upon q silver plate.
"0h, it's little Teddy Smythe, girls"
cried Dorothy, reading the card. Lets
have him up here minute"
The next moment Teddy smythe ap-
