a classic order. and II you adopted a
more natural style Of couture your ap-
peGrance would really bc-er-uncom-
monty fetching. STEAD of that, you
persist in following a hideous exaggera-
ton OF fashion. which destroys your in
%dividualiiy and is utterly unsuited to
your style. II seems a small thing in
itself, but it has f%arreaching oonse-
qucnccs. Tho momont we meet I notice
il. don't you know, and feel annoyed.
The whole time ] an with you l am
worrying about it. 1t sets up q chronic
state Of cxasperation. Perhaps you don't
understand the feeling
"Oh, yes. l dol Ifcel tho same toward
You because you viii insist on wearing
enormous stand up collars. I call that a
want Of perception, if you like. l
wouldn't be personal for the world, but
l have seen men with longer necks.
When you want 70 speak to your neigh
Dor, you have to twist your whole body.
1t makes mo die with laughing to see
you"
Delighted TO afford you so much
amusement. Sorry l mako myself so
ridiculous. You are excessively polite,
I'm sure"
"You wero n great deal worse your
self. You said that p
Nothing Of the kind. You misun-
derstood Inc. / simply Ieluarked''-
Don't contradict! You said was m
ugly thing, ard hat it exaspCrated you
only 10 sec me. You did, 1t makes it
worse 10 deny it. l can't think how you
can look me in the face!'
why get excited? It's really not
worth while, and you win make your
self hot. It is not becoming to be hot. l
was about TO say when you 30 rudely
interrupted me that you had misunder-
stood the meaning Of my remarks. 1
simply Observed
Il don't care u little bit what you OBJ
served. 1 I'm 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"
II shall ask Miss Cunliffo instead.
She is a capital walter. Your mother
is waiting for you at the door. Fourth
and sixth, wasn't it, and tho first extra?
| must ask her at once, as she is so
much engaged. Good afternoon, then,
Miss Blanchard. if You will 90, and as
the good little boys say, Thank you SO
much for the pleasant afternoonl'"

"He never thought of such a thing.
1t never occurred to him to think Of her
in that light. Hateful creaturel Ard
why not, l should like to know? Doesn't
he think I'm nice? 1 never cared
for him, but lie has no business not to
like me. What horrid tastel
"And to talk Of a dozen other girlsl
That means Lucie Charvie, I suppose,
and AGeline Rowe. l have noticed that
he dances with them. l don't see
why lie should like them hotter than
me. I'm the prettiest, and l can be aw-
full nice if l like. l have never been
really rice to him, not my very incest,
OF he wouldn't have talked as he did to-
day. l might try the effect this
evening.
81 meant TO be offended, but perhaps
the other would havo more effect. l be-
AltNG Il II I'd IT. NO OlAt Csil GNNI Say
that l III q flirt, but there arc occasions
when it is a girls duty to teach n mar
a lesson, and he had no business to say
that about my hair. = 8 & l wonder if
he was right? He has awfully good
taste us q rule.
81 believe, after all, it would be
rather becoming. 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 l 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 over
I'd refuse him, of course, but that
wouldn't natter; it would be kind OF
me TO take the trouble, because it is
dreadful TO see a man so conceited, and,
if it were not for that, he would be
quite charming. = = I'll begin this
evening. How excitingl Poor Captain
Mayl'

''She looked disgracofully pretty.
Nothing like putting a girl in a good
stand up rage to see what she's made
Of. 1 never knew she had so much in
her before. And she would just as soor
think of falling in love with the mar
in the moon, wouldn't she? That'i
pretty tall! Hang it all, why do they
put things in a fellows head? l wa,
happy enough before, and now this ha,
unsettled me altogether. = = A mar
