Philadelphia Record: Having come

She was seated. Some gay length of
the newest things were thrown, for
her edification over the easel.
At last one struck her fancy, and
quick as a flash, she whipped out of
her shopping bag a toilet mirror, and,

she viewed herself in her small glass.
"Ah, yes, it is very becoming. You
may use that for my dining room,"
she said, much pleased with herself.
