I1n6-AIIeTnOOn-
The Girl-Funny that we should meet
here! 1 came in quite by chance. 1 was
going down the Cliff walk
The Boy-Yes, I saw you.
The Girl thought of you as I passed,
but of course I couldn't look.
The Boy-Odd how things happen.
The Girl-We seem to meet so often
afternoons-quite by chance
The Boy-Its one of those condolences
you go by at a certain hour every day.
Tse Girl-And you are always there.
The Boy-And it seems as though we
always have something to say.
The Girl-That's why our friendship is
so delightful! get so tired of sentiment!
The Boy-Its such rot-anyhow-bu you
know there are very few girls like you.
Most of them expect a man to throw
bouquets at them all the time Now,

The Girl-Oh, hate that sort of thing!
w hen l first met you-and realized that
you weren't that kind of mani was so
relieved! 1 found myself really interested
in you, because 1 saw at once that you
regarded me as a human being irrespec-
tive of sex.
The Boy-WeIl. rather! had met lots
Of girls and they seemed so alike.
The Girl-That was my experience with
men. They seemed to think a girl wanted
silly compliments all the time.
The Boy-But we can talk nationally I
find myself wishing to consult you about
even the most ordinary things. I find
Your point Of view is more direct than

blink.
The Girl-YoU never do quite open your
eyes, do you? Let's see-gray blue eyes

will be quite desperate when you fall in
love.
The Boy-Never intend to-its too slow!
What does the color of your eyes mean?
Look at me. 1 knew they We're black If
you should ever love-there would be no
half way about it.
The Gtrl-But no one does nowadays.
It's not good form. In the twentieth cen
fury people will have outgrown such
foolishness. Then friendships like ours
will be more frequent. 1t will be a case
of mutual-respect and-er-people won t
remark it. Why, you have no idea what
silly ideas people get sometimes. For in
stance, they Suggestion, well. it's too
ridiculous!
The Boy-What?
The Girl-That we are engaged? Just
fancy! Hal ha!
The Boy-Ha! ha! But-by Jove-that
doesn't seem fair to you!
The Girl-Oh, don't mind 1t in the
least.
The Boy-But there may be some other
chap that
The Girl don't care for any one in
that way! But 1 never thought that
well there may be some other girl?
The BOy-NO-really-I don't like girls
as a rule. You are the only one that I
can understand Do you believe in affini-
ties?
The Girl believe in mental magne-
tism. When 1 first met you-it seemed as
though we had been destined to be
friends Your face-your smile-your
manner were all my ideal of what man
should be-
The Boy-And when you came into
the room-you remember it was Alces

girl I've ever met!
The Girl suppose common place peo-
pie would call It.
The Boy-Exactly-but it's something
more than that.
The Girl-You take the other sort of
thing-there are 80 many unpleasant
things about it-jealousy, for instance.
The Boy-We might have mistaken the
sentiment and imagined we were in
Iove-if your logical way Of talking hadn't
made me understand that it was a men
tai affinity.
The Girl-As 1t is we shall go on-and
on-forever, just being good friends.
The Boy-But suppose you marry some
day-that would spoil everything. I
don't suppose your husband would under

tells such funny stories.
The Boy-But light waisted-don't you
think?
The Girl-Oh, prefer serious man!
The Boy-If you ever should marry
