''He never thought of such thing
10 never occurred to him TO think of her
in that light. Hateful creature! And
why not, l should like to know2 Doesn' Z
he think I'm nice? s+t I never cared
for him. bIs he has no business not to
like me. What borrid tasteI
"And to talk Of a dozen other girls!
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-
full nice if like. / have never been
really nice to him, not my very incest,
or he wouldn't have talked as he did to-
day. 80 y / might try the effect this
evening.
81 meant to be offended, but perhaps
the other would have more effect be.
lieve I'll try it No one can ever say
that am firt, but there are occasions
when it is girls duty to teach man
lesson, and he had no business to say
that about my hair. sas wonder il
he was right? He has awfully good
taste as rule.
81 believe, after all, it would be
rather becoming. sss I'll get Elsie tc
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 am, he
will be vexed with himself for being
50 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 matter; it would be kind o1
me to take the trouble, because it il
dreadful to see man SO conceited, and
If it were not for that, be would bt
quite charming. y y I'll begin this
evening. How excitingl Poor Captain

Nothing like putting girl in good
