Indeed. shall not, Mr.. Boobingle."

to flattery to gain his point; "and am
sure you never can find anything half
as suitable for your style of beauty"
Mrs. Boobingle appeared touched by
this delicate compliment, remembered,
however, that she had been caught by
such remarks on several previous oc-
casions. and resolved therefore to be
wary.
Thank you, my dear for the COM

gle. modestly. ut really Is pitiful the
way she dresses"
How much do yos think you would
