Fluffy Frlvols, you do look
sight" and Miss Talormade sat rp rs
straight as possible in the stralghtest
chair in the room and tried to look
severe.
II her name was not Miss Tailor
made, and If Fluffy Friyolss name
was not Fluffy Frlvols, they were ap-
propriate names, and every uptown
girl who knows them Will recognize
them at once.
1t was at Fluffy Frivols's house the
other day in the apartments devoted
to that pretty young woman, and very
pretty rooms usrally, though on this
particular day they were close and

couch, q round, shiny little red nose

when she cries rather than to the or

light-hearted FLUFFY Frivols.
Yes" Miss Tailormade remarked
again, with even more severity and
displeasure in her tones, "you do look
sight, Fl0Gy Friyols, and that Is
just the way I expected you to look
and just the reason / came around
here"
Miss Tailormade herself looked like
particularly fresh damask rose. Her
very best efforts could not bring any
thing which was an approach 10 an
expression Of severity to her face. and
even her gown forgot to be severe. as
it found itself trying to follow pretty
curves in and out, and had an air Of It's
own quite unlike that of the ordinary
tailOrmade gowns, and which was in
finitely becoming. Miss Tailormade's
friends say that she knows very well
there is nothing she looks so we'll in,
which may be true. Hasn't Carroll
Beckwith himself said that the high
est form OF art was the decoration of
the human form? If he didn't, that
is what a pretty pupil understood him
to say, which is the same thing, to all
intents and purposes.
And meantime Fluffy Frivols drew a
long, weak sigh, and in a weak, fading
away little voice murmured:
You are very cunelP -e

Tailormade. "Sull," with an attempt
at great severity, I'm like a surgeon

this morning and I've come to get you
out of it."
"I'shall never feel any better" said
Fluffy Frivols in the same weak voice
and with a world OF untold grief in
her tones while the pretty French maid
bathed her temples sympathetlcally
with violet water.

Tailormade cheeTfully you viii

Frivols in faint heart-brollen tones.

"And you have been crying almost
all night?"
"Yes."
And you went down to see him all

'Well, l don't wonder. I shouldn't
