IdAute, ana L fancy she thinks that she

"Humph. A little change. Is he rich?"
The girl of to-day, SAYS Clara Belle in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, realizes that she

She must sip her wine with fetching

Then when actually the tiny bits she
mas taken begin to makeher eyes brighten
and her little pink tongue run as fast as
her ideas will let her, she becomes dis
tractlngly fascinating little person. and
there isn't a man in the world who will
nave the moral courage not to encourage
her and develop a very decided desire to
see what she will do next. OF course she
mustn't do anything in particular next,
because she is, as l say. nice" girl. But

awfully fetching, and some clever girls
who are little older than II or Is are
smart enough to produce this effect. It's
a bit risky, though 1t would be fatal to

There is an Englishman in New York
who has awakened to an importgnt fact.
says the New York Tribune. He has been
here for two years, and in that time has
been associated almost wholly with
Americans. The naval review brought so
many of the queens subjects here that
the Englshman has had several days of
constant mingling with his own race.
This is what he says: I'm surprised
after living with you Americans for a
couple of years, to find how slow and dull
my people are. We are absolutely stupid.
I never before realized the difference be-
tween us. Now l am wondering how in
the world we Englishmen ever accom-
plished what we have and got where we
were"
A woman who spends much time in
friendly work among the lower working
classes, says the New York Times told a
story recently which happily illustrates
the unconscious loyalty of our alien citi-
zens for the land of their adoption. Motto
ing at the weekly gatherings of a club, in
which she is Interested, that one of its
frequenters, an honest, lzindly-faced Ger
man woman, looked very sad, she spoke
to her, trying to find out the cause of her
depression. ''Ach, my man." said the
woman, finally, 'he lost his place; he vas
eighteen years dere, and now he lost it.
1t is bad. 1t is dose foreigners" she
went on. "dat come the sea over | no
tink it right dey TEX the places of us
Americans. Dey should no turn us out"
A dear little bride, says Clara Belle in
the TimesDemocrat, introduced an old
beau to her husband, and then said:
Take Mr.. Blake into the club, dear,
and give me a little time to get luncheon
ready. And remember" she added in that
pretty, coquettish way of hers, ''you are
not invited to lunch; only Mr.. Blake, so
you need not come back"
'The men were gone longer than she had
counted on, and luncheon was all ready
She waited a little while and then decided
to telephone to the club. 1t seemed easy
to do. Tho club was only across the way,
when she got to the telephone and had
actually rung the club up, it did not seem
so easy to get her message into words. So
she hemmed and remarked:
This is Mrs. Brown"
The club repeated Mrs. Brown"
YES; ah UNI. Did Nh Brown come
into the club just now?'
They said they really didn't know, and
in a tone of voice that made the little

was she to do it? After all, she wanted
Mr.. Blake, and not her husband, but she
could not very well explain that, and the
club had proved itself very discreet.
Then from the club came: "Hello!"
80, yes, There is a gentleman with
Mr. Brown"
At this the club said merely ALI"
IL know there is, you know, and |
want to send message to the gentleman
with Mr.. Brown"
All" said the club, and this time she
detected an infection of some interest,
and again she blushed.
That is, to both gentlemen, you know,
not to just the gentleman with Mr..
Brown"
The club said "Ah" again, quite as if

from the club in a very appreciative tone
Yes, to both of them, and then Mrs.
Brown, very uneasy in her mind, said
plaintively: "Good-by," and rung her
self off.
That. evening when Mr. Brown came in
he was distinctly out of sorts, and at last
he expressed himself. Il don't care a
continental how many old admirers you
have to luncheon. but don't telephone
secret messages for them at the club when
they are with me. It's embarrassing,

to say nothing of the usual array of linen
and doilies. scarfs and centerpieces, only
to find out the perfidy of man and the uu-
