punish her for it in some way. What has
she done? Why. one of the horridest things
possible! She has copied my latest new
gown exactly. 1t was made at Nine. C.'s,
from a perfectly lovely model just over
from Paris. and the very day after 1 had
given the order Mrs. y. walked into mad
ame's atelier, and, Notwithstanding that
the latter told her had taken il, chose
exactly the same thing-material, cut
trimming and all. But l know how l can
revenge myself. and although it will cost
me a pretty penny shall do it.
Il have been told that Mrs. Y. intends
wearing her gown at the outdoor charity
fete next week. I intended wearing nine

relative had predicted: nevertheless, the
latter was considerably surprised when the
aforementioned friend rushed up to her
boudoir a couple of days before the great
function, exclaiming:

Her Sweetheart
The man I love? Well, rather small;
Out stature doesn't count at alp
He's a dear!
Hair as golden as the sun;
Fair as you e'er looked upon;
Eyes of blue, and fun of fun,
And good cheer.
He's the only man l know
Who can touch my hearstrings so
Tenderly;
When he's with me all is bright,

If he's absent LIES a blight
Then, to me.
Strange to say I love him best
When in overalls he's dressed,
For his play;

If his purse is rather slim
For he's sweet, and neat and trim
Every day.
