So, could you?
Castleton-Sorry, old chap, but I'm
awfully short. Expect to take Miss
Van Wrinkle to the theater tonight.
Tutter-You're in luck. Nice girl
that.
Castlcton-Rathcr
Tutter-Rathcr! Well. should say
so. Why, she's one of the most eX-
elusive girls l ever met
Castleton-I didn't know that.
Tuttcr-That's because she favors you
so. She won't have anything to do
with me.
Castleton-Won't, eh? Why, ]
thought she liked YOU.
Tutter-In Il way, yes. But she's too
particular. The man who goes out with
that girl, old man, ought to feel highly
honored. Mighty few can do it..
Castleton plcasctl)-That so? Why,
l didn't think it was anything eNtraordl-
nary that she accepted my invitation.
Tutter-You didn't! Why, she would
not go with me. You don't know when
you have a good thing. old fellow.
Castleton (doubtfully)-Well, don't
know that do. She's pretty, too,
isn't she?
Tutter-pretty! Why, that isn't the
name for it. She's an angel. All the
fellows have been ravng over her,
but she doesn't seem to notice any one
but you.
Castleton Immensely plcased)-And
here l have been blind to it all.
Tutter-Certainly you have. But you
are so used to it, suppose, you take 1t
as matter Of course. Oh by the way,
old man, to return to that subject,
couldn't you manage to squeeze out q

Castleton (doubtfully)-Well, I don't

though.

this some ingenuity is required ut times.
A French writer tells a story Of a
French soldier, Chevert. who was as

that he had waited for promotion long

He had every claim to the command
of IL company in his regiment, but his
colonel asked that the appointment be
given to one Of his protegcs. Chevert
went to Versailles and obtained an
audience with the minister Of war.
This official said that he knew nothing
about him.

The French Iden of Education for

Girls.
The French always make this distinc-
ton between INSTRUCTION" and "educa-
tion." instruction means what the
girls study, willie education includes
manners, breeding. customs. conduct,
habits, ideas. and any amount OF learn
ing without this education. in their
sense Of the word, means nothing to
them at all.
1t is natural to suppose that for this
education, as they understand 1t, no.
body could be more careful. or take
SO much interest as Il mother; and
add to this the fact that when a man
proposes for Il girl in France, lie ex-
| poets her mother to be able to account
