NO TIME WASTED.
Lovely Woman in Thoughtful
flood.

You can't tell me anything about
mems Clubs" said the girl in the Leg
norm nat; they were only invented to
give engaged men and married men a
reason for going out at night"
very true" said the girl in the poke
bonnet, and all they do is to gossip
ABOUT politics. anyhow. BY the way,
speaking of politics, isn't this Presi-
Dental campaign year?'
Yes, 1t is" said the girl in the blue
gown, though why they always have
1t in leap year is more than 1 can un-
derstand.''
Nor can L, said the girl in the poke
bonnet, but since it is Presidential
campaign year one thing is certain
tnere VIII not be a single man at any
or the summer resorts
"Oh, yes, there WILL" said the girl in
the Leghorn hat; "the candidates will
all be there! The other men-the ones
VINO will get nothing out of it save per-
manent hoarseness and perhaps a new
hat-will all be in town shouting and
persplring over the election!"
OF course they will'' said the girl in
the blue gown. 'Id like to see the
women act so silly. If the candidates
were women they'd be left in town to
look after their own booms"
Not at all,' said the girl in the poke
bonnet; "a woman who had determine
tlon enough to run for office would
nave determination enough to make
! some men do all the work of it for her!"
III m, 1 hadn't thought of that" said
the girl in the blue gown. well, there
IS one comfort, anyhow. If there are
no men at the summer resorts we shall
all get a chance to carry our own
| parasols and so save our compilations"
True" said the girl in the Leghorn
hat. "Oh, isn't it funny to see the air
of satisfaction with which a man struts
| along by girl carrying her sunshade at
| an angle which insures blister on her
nose the next day, let's the light dazzle
her eyes and conceals all the best points
| Of her toilet?"
Very funny" returned the girl in the
blue gown; 'awfully funny if it happens
to be another girl. By the way, Dolly
says that the chief happiness of her
honeymoon-you know she was married
last June-consisted in being able to
quarrel with Dick about the way in
which he carried her parasol without
being afraid that he'd carry one for
another girl the next day"
Dolly always did have luck" sighed
| the girl in the Leghorn hat "a short
| girl with a turned-up nose can always
| be as cross to man as she likes-it
relieves her own feelings and he only
thinks it funny, anyhow"
II know" said the girl in the poke
bonnet, unless, Of course, he is re-
| lated to her, them
THAT is quite another matter; of
course 1 -
| "Oh, girls" cried the girl in the Leg
| horn hat, I've hit on such a lovely plan
| by which I can give way to my temper
without offending people. -
Say, you're on the verge Of nervous
prostration; of course anybody cam
Nothing of the kind; I practice say
| ing the meanest things in the sweetest
voice / can command. By the time
people have realized that I meant to
be horrid it is too late to"
Him. said the girl in the blue gown.
| ''it seems to me that one Of my earliest
| recollections is of taking a very bitter
| pill In very sweet jelly-the principle
is"
Good gracious said the girl in the
poke bonnet, ''is that 5 striking? I
should have been home hours ago. Well,
| ternoon as the men do when they go to
their clubs, gossiping about politics and
stocks!"-Chicago mes-Herald.
