cash he could find in my pocketboolS-
luckily only a little over $13. While
the loss didn't amount to very much,

HER TURN TO TREAT.
But Her Invitation at That Time
Seemed to Lack Courtesy.

'"The next time I invite Marian
Strong to take luncheon with me she'll
know it," exclaimed the girl who prides
herself upon her generosity, as she in
dignantly faced the other club MEM
berS. And she lost no time in acquaint-
ing them all with the details of the
absentee's villaint.
"Of all the miserable, mean. con-
temptible girls ever saw" she began,
breathIessly, that creature is the
worst. Just listen to the way she
treated me, and then if any of you ever
speak to her again you're no friend of
mine, that's all.
You know, I've been trying vegeta-
rianism lately; ever since we had that
lecture upon The Bad Effect of Meat
Batting Upon the Complexion I have
wanted Marian to get thin as fast as
I've done. I'm sure her complexion
needs improving quite as much as mine,
and as for her form-I guess my tell
ing her how gross and heavy it was
getting made her act so meanly Or,
perhaps, it was because let her know
how heavy and ugly her chin is when
she's fat. At all events, i asked her
to go to lunch with me, and she ac-
l might have known she was UP to
something, the wretched little catl So.
as 1 happened TO remember that I'd
spent nearly all Of my allowance on
candy, 1 took her to a cheap place Ia
read of in a little vegetarian magazine;
and, honestly, girls, the food was just
awful. 1 couldn't get it down at all
myself, and even Marian, in spite of
that enormous appetite of hers, couldn't
manage all of the dishes. But she ate
up nearly everything there Tas in
sight, and then she turned to me like
deceiving angel.
g It's my turn to treat you now, isn't
it?' She asked ME, those horTid eyes Of
hers just cleaning; and 1 thought she
was going to take me TO the matinee,
and was congratulating myself that "a
only paid j. cents apiece for oar din
ners. She only smiled again when I
said yes, I supposed it was her tlsr-1;
and she picked up her gloves and pcck-

Then I'll treat you now she said.
