 Nothing of the kind. You misun- derstood me. I simply remarked'-
 "Don' contradict! You said I was an ugly thing, and that it exasperated you only to see me. You did! It makes it worse to deny it I can't think how you can look me in the facen

 1T don't care little bit what you ob- served. I am not going to talk to you any longer. Good afternoon. Captain May. You needn't dance with me at Lady Bottoms this evening, as my hair annoys you so much.
 ''I shall ask Miss Cunliffe instead She is capital waltzer. Your mother is waiting for you at the door. Fourth and sixth, wasn't it, and the first extra? I must ask her at once, as she is so much engaged. Good afternoon, then, Miss Blanchard, if you will go, and as the good little boys say, Thank you so much for the pleasant afternoonp

 "He never thought of such thing. It never occurred to him to think of her in that light Hateful creaturel And why not, I should like to know? Doesn't he think I'm nice? <<< never cared for him, but he has no business not to like me. What horrid tastel
 'And to talk of a dozen other girlsl That means Lucie Charvie, suppose, and Adeline Rowe. have noticed that he dances with them. <<s don't see why he should like them better than me. I'm the prettiest, and can be aw- fuI nice if I like I have never been really nice to him, not my very nicest or he wouldn't have talked as he did to- day. <&< I might try the effect this evening.
 "I meant to be offended, but perhaps the other would have more effect. be- heye I'll try it. No one can ever say that am a flirt, but there are occasions when it is girls duty to teach man lesson, and he had no business to say that about my hair. *+ wonder if he was right? He has awfully good taste as rule.
 ''I believe, after all, it would be rather becoming. s~& I'll get Elsie to try tonight and wear my new white dress and the pearls, and I'll say to him the very first thing that I'm sorry and ask him to dance with me all the same. Then. when he sees how nice'I am, he will be vexed with himself for being so nasty. 1t will do him no end of good.
 ''I'd give worlds if he would only propose to me before the season is overl I'd refuse him, of course, but that wouldn't matter; it would be kind of me to take the trouble, because it is dreadful to see man so conceited, and, if it were not for that, he would be quite charming. <* I'll begin this evening.

 'I wouldn't object if it was at some other fellow, for those dimples are un- commonly fetching.
 ''I believe she is right about the col lars, all the same; thought so myself more than once. If another shape would suit me better, it seems rather absurd to stick to these. Man in the moon, eh? Humph! We'll, it doesn't do to be too awfully sure; it's bad thing to gel into the way of boasting. How would it be if took her in hand and tried tc work a cure? Do her all the good in the world to be brought down peg or two and find her own level. and the process would not be unpleasant. Hi, cabby Stop at the first decent hosier' you come to. I want to get out"
