81 needn't explain, need ?" with
wave OF the hand, said the fair haired girl
with the pince-nez, who had brought up
the subject. I'VE all know what man
aging means in this connection"
ION, yes" chorused the rest of the
group OF society girls who were having a
comfortable talk in the bedroom of one of
the number before dispensing for the
afternoon siesta. In that chorus but one
voice was unrepresented, that OF an lgno-
ranus who, according to the Philadelphia
/ Times hadn't even the excuse of being
young. She confessed, with some hesita-
ton, that she didn't just know the mean
ing of managing" as they used it.
Its when man wants to squeeze your
hand" kindly explained one of them.
''Or kiss you,'' added another.
'Or put his arm around you," volun
teered a third with strong accent of dis
approval.
''They have to be managed then, you
know, and If possible without hurting
their feelings. You don't want man to
think you prig, but OF course you can't
permit such things, and it takes good
deal OF finessing."
How do you do it, Tessie ?" asked the
fair haired girl. "You needn't say you
have never had occasion, for didn't l see
you and"
THAT'S enough" hastily interrupted
the one addressed as Tessie. II don't
know what do; it depends on the man.
Some of them will take very slight
hint, such as Withdrawing the hand or
moving foot or two away; with others,
again, Pve had to threaten to scream.
That always fetches them quickly
enough
Daisy McCullough-Daisy Smith, that
was-once gave me a wrinkle" COM
menced another girl. ''She said that
when man took her hand in his"
Il don't believe Daisy Smith ever in
! teriered in such case," interrupted the
talr-haired girl, decidedly.
Nv ell, the interrupted narrator went
/ on, 'she said that whenever man took
| her hand she promptly asked him if he
/ didn't want the other one, too. That
| knocks all the sentiment fiat as pam
cake she said. They can be spooney
about one hand, but when you offer them
! both in that business-like way they will
| simply drop the one they hold and look
| FOOLISH It's funny, too, but she was
right. Pve often tried the plan and
never found it to fall"
II always say, If you're quite done
with my hand, 1 should like it back
again." contributed Tessie.
Il tried that once," said very young
demoiselle with slightly pensive air,
land he told me it wasn't my hand. 1t
was my mothers until L came of age,
whereupon l said as demurely as
could, We'll, Charley. l feel quite certain
my mother doesn't want her hand where
it is now,' and he laughed, said BY Jove,
that's So and-dropDed it.''
''It doesn't do TO be too witty" said
Tessie. wickedly.
Hands arn't so much," drawled a
handsome Southern girl. TITS when
/ they try to kiss you that l want to sug-
| gesU an adjournment. What's your little
scheme, Flora? You always seem to
keep their friendship in spite of the
suub."
Flora was an innocent-eyed young per-
son who looked as if managing the
sterner sex were an Unborn art. "Oh, l
fix it," the ghost Of a smile lowering
around the corners of her pretty mouth.
LAS soon as they make an attempt draw
back, look eproachful-tears in the eyes,
you know, and that sort of thing, and ask
them plaintively if they haven't the
slightest respect for me. They, of course,
earnestly assure me OF their profound es-
TEEN, and somehow we slide off on other
topics and the whole thing blows over"
Then the question went around the
circle: "What do you do when a man
tries to kiss you ?" Each gave her 'sure
cure" except girl who lounged in a
sleepyhollOw chair off in a corner. Red
was her hair, red her Cupid's bow of a
mouth, and ''coquette' was written all
over her. She glanced around, then said
TRANQUILITY, but half under her breath:
| Don't do anything"
