Few Signs of Loves Approach Noted by
Chicago Girl.
They happened to meet in a State
street store the other day, and they had a
conversation which sent one of them
away with foods of light illuminating
her soul. She was one of those girls who
are adored by old ladies and constantly
invited to tea by them to meet bachelor
sons, and who count all the beaux they
ever had on the fingers of one hand. The
other-well. she was different. She was
one of those maddening creatures who
are always mysteriously supplied with
roses and bonbons and escorted to the
theater on first nights, in spite of the
fact that all the other girls are agreed
that ''there is absolutely nothing in her. ="
The latter young woman was meditating
over some silks when the other one greet
ed her.
Il suppose you are trying to decide
between the old rose and the pale green, -"
she said.
Well, no" replied the other girl
frankly. You see, am getting my
wedding things, and think I'll have
both" Then she looked down to blush
and looked up to see the effect of her
words.
rs it possible: +
Yes, dear, and you can't imagine
how nervous l am
Il only hope YOU
will be happy: OF course l shall.
Why, l can always make him do Just
what choose"
The other girl pursed up her lips and
looked virtuous. ''Oh, l shouldn't like
that at all. The man l marry must be
one that l can obey"
Not at all, my dear. 1t Is all very
nice to talk that way to the men. They

to marry one of them, when You want
your own way, just like any other sensi-
BILE woman"

the other girl dreamily.
Proposed? Oh, but he hasn't done il
yetr'
But thought that YOU
Were selecting a trousseau: So
am, goosie. You see, it is just this way
He will call at 8 this evening, and by
at latest we will be formally engaged"
But how do you know helplessly
asked the other girl.
Simply by precedent When a mar
asks you in an anxious tone if you thinI
a married man ought to give up his club
you may know that his intentions are Sc
rious, and when he follows it up a few
days later by asking You if You don't
think man has a right to smoke al
over his own house it is high time TO de
eide whether the wedding shall be a
home or in church"
My goodness
Yes, but that wasn't what convinced
me-
| ''Oh, do tell me about it,"
| No, it was simply this: l met him OIL
the street yesterday. and he was reading
a paper so intently that he didn't ever
see me until spoke. Then he blushet
violently, and in great confusion thrus
his paper into his overcoat pocket. Well
he went home with me and-now, yo-
must never tell this as long as You live
i never. never will.

had been reading that confused him 5,

the hall where his coat was hanging anC
take the paper out of his pocket, anC
what do you think II was"
/ "Oh, can't imagine.
1T was household paper, and the ar
ticle that he had been reading was on
