There were two of them in the smok-
ing room of an uptown club-two
young fellows so detrimental in the
eyes of chaperons that, if they ever
marry, it will be because girls are
foolish enough to fall in love. The
conversation started with dogs, but
in the natural course of events it cot
around to girls.
SO GotrOcks is landed at last?" said
No. 1, who was languid and cynical.
Yes; the little Delaney girl found
him easy. | don't blame him. She
is darling No. 2 was athletic and
enthusiastic
Now, | don't see why the fellows
all went silly over her" the cynic
objected. She's not pretty, and she's
not rich
oh, 1 don't know, Itt ~
ing way she has" And tb n
grinned in memory of the
he was fetched :
Did you read that story about # F
way girls can make themselves Ikea
by mem" asked the cynic.
No; didn't see it. I'd rather have
/ the girls show me how they do it."
We'll, | tell you a mans fool t. let
himself be worked.
Nonsense. He'd be a fool not to.
It's the incest thing in the world Now
what I'd like to read would be some
thing telling the men how to make the
| girls like them. That would be more
/ TO the point"
The cynic raised his eyebrows.
You're too young old chap, and
too modest. All a fellow has to do is
to be born masculine"
The enthusiast blew smoke rings

Billy, what are the little things?"
What do you mean?' !.
That's just it. l don't know and
she wouldn't tell me"
"Oh, she wouldn't"
They both smoked silently for
awhile. The cynic knew it would
come if he waited
You see it was this way" the en-
thusiast began. Il made all the run

TO like it. We golfed and sailed and
danced, and we came back to town as
good as engaged probation. you
know. | went on being as decent as
! could. but after awhile she began to
act funny. Shed have fits of the blues
and be hurt without any reason and
say | didn't really love her; and
sometimes we were happy and some
times we weren't. I'd ask what was
wrong about me and she couldn't ex-

| got so that those little things kept
me awake nights and fairly drove me
TO drink; but | couldn't do anything
when didn't know what to do. Girls
are so blamed unreasonable.
He stopped and examined his cigar
critically.
IT'S all up" he said, at last Il
wish | knew how to fix it: but how
can A fellow find out about those con-
founded little things?
The cynic looked at him pityingly.
you're a foo Who'll doesn't know
when Providence is good to him; but
if I wanted to know what the girl
meant and to make an idiot of myself
I'd go and ask some married woman
who is happy-if You can find one,
