WELL BROUGHT UP.

I met them first at 81. Moritz. There
was a dance going on at the hotel, and q
/ young mana very good looking young
man, who climbed mountains and enjoyed
everything immensely-was asking the
well brought up girl 60 dance
The girl AZ first Thoughts that the room
WAS hstle too bot for dancing, and then
wondered III mamma would like her To

All the nice people, l think.
Very well, my love. but be careful" "

hair, brushed back from a pure, pale brow.
and soft, pink cheeks and an unexpansiye
smile.
She required 80 much taking care OF.
and the kitchen lancers were so rough.
I'm sure mamma would not Like me TO
dance like that. she said.
I'm AFRAID they are rather kitchen,
said the young man. I'm awfully sorry"
The girl said it didn't matter and smiled
brave little smile. She Put up her hand
and srnoothed the pretty brown hair, which
hrd become disordered by the hot wind OF
tie ballroom, and then she looked down 1T
her charming little bronze shoes and said:
- hope you don't mind my not romping.
i am a very old fashioned person, you
know"
I'm very glad TO hear IT," said the
young man, with enthusiasm, and he sug-
gested that they should not dance any
more, but should go and sit in the balcony
instead

please"
And the man wrapped her up most care
fully in 1t and found two chairs in "a shol-
tered corner where they could watch the
stars and the lake
II think this Is ripping" he said.
The girl sat upright with her little white
shawl drapod about her. She turned her
soft eyes up to the young man and asked
him If he liked tennis, and if he played
the piano. He in his turn inquired If she
had taken TO bike" yet
The girl said: "Oh, mol She thought
1t SO unieminine." She asked the young
man whether he did not think il a great
pity that girls were SO fast nowadays She,
for her part, thought woman's sphere
was the home, and she spoke with womah-
ly pity OF those who wandered from that
sphere.
1T is so sad," she said, Ito see girls in
truding themselves into mems pursuits.
What can men think of thems'
IF only there were more girls like you
In the world! said the enthusiastic young
man.
And then mamma appeared and said sho

instantly in her pretty, dutiful way and
said GOOD night" and mamma asked the
young man to join them at little gather
ing AZ the Meierci tomorrow.
He seems quite nice, she said to her
daughter. Wear your pretty white dress
with the blue ribbons tomorrow, love-"
A charming little party started to walk
to the Meerei. Mamma Is SO particular
whom she knows. 1t is "a fact that she can
tell at glance who are nice people" and
who are not; consequently she always
knows whom to speak to and whom tC
avoid. This is great gift. She knows
where the nice people go and what the nict
people do, and at home she can tell exactly
where the nice people sit in the park ant
where the nice people go to church.
At this hotel she has had her place a
table changed three times, to be near mic,
people. She has never been known to maxi
mistake, even when the nice people wea
shabby clothes.
At the Mcierei today mamma Is quite a

she has had the pleasure of announcin
