The Saturday matinee at the Audi
torium in Chicago was inst over, and
the usual crowd was struggling to get
to its carriage before any one else. The
Auditorium attendant was shouting out
She number Of different carriages, and
the carriage doors were slamming as
the horses were driven rapidly TO the
curb, held there impatient by the
drivers, who had shivercd long in the
raw east wind, and then let 20 to
plunge for few minutes into the river
of vehicles that tossed under the ele-
waited railway and finally went whirling
off up the avenue
"Now, then 624r shouted the Au-
ditorium attendant. "SiX hundred and
twenty-four !" he repeated as thore
Iashed up TO tho curb a splendid span
Of black horses attached to Il carriage
having the monogram &C. Il. $. D." in
gilt letters on the panel of the door
Two girls stepped out Of the crowd
toward the carriage Tho older one had
entered and taken her seat and the at
tendant was still holding the door open
for the younger, who stood hcsitating
on the curb
Come Tolicial What arc You wait
ing for? l shall freeze to DEATH" called
the voice from the carriage.
The girl outside of the carriage hast
ilv unpinncd a bunch Of English violcts
from her dress and handed them to Il
small boy who was standing shivering
on the edge of the sidewalk almost
under the horses feet. He took them
with look of establishment and u
"Thank We, LADY," and instantly buried
a very grimy face in the bunch of per-
fume The girl stepped into the car
rage, the door shut with the incisive
Bang peculiar to well made carriages of
This sort, and in n few moments the
goodman was speeding the horses rap
idly up ono of the boucvards
You are always doing some queer
thing or other, Felicia, said the older
girl as the carriage whirled on past the
great residences already brilliantly
lighted.
"Am /? What have done that is
queer now, Rose?" asked the other,
looking up suddenly and turning her
head toward her sister
"Oh, giving those violets to that howl
lie looked as if he needed good hot
supper more than bunch of violets.
It's wonder you didn't invite him
home with us. l shouldn't have been
surprised if you had. You are always
doing such queer things Felicia"
Would it be queer to invite boy
like that to come to tho house and get
hot supper" Felicia asked the ques-
ton softly and almost as if she We're
alone.
"Queer isn't inst the word. Of
course, replied Rose indifferently at
would be what Nine. Blanc calls outre
decidedly. Therefore you will please
not invite him or others like him to hot
suppers because / suggested it, Oh.
dearl I'm awfully tired "
She yawned, and Felicia silently
looked out of the window in the door
THE concert was stupid, and the
violinist was simply bore. don see
how you could sit SO still through it
all, - Rose exclaimed, a little ilnpa-
tiently
Il liked the music" answered Felicia
quietly.
