W Hh WAS showing little impa-

The music was still going on, and people were dropping in and or dering Ices. They-the man and the wom- an-were chatting in that aImless, silly way that Is really the only method of conversation when there is a lot of other people around. The waiter had removed the empty glasses. and the man made involuntarily a move to leave, but the woman. drawing on her long gloves ap- parently did not wish to go just yet.
 Presently she raised her eyes and he smiled into them, and there was auis- ical smile about her wide, lonely mouth that the man understood, but he was wise enough not to let her know it. But she was not very wise woman, and so she fingered over the buttons on her long glove while the man grew exasperated. aud yet continued to smile whenever she lifted her eyes to his.
 Tell me" she said finally "what it was you saw in the woman to admire
 The man thought he was very wise, and he did not feign innocence. That Is too old game to play.
 ''Wel' he said. there was a great deal of natural beauty about her. If some one, a woman like you for instance, would tell her how to dress and to ar- range her hair she would make a stun ming looking creature"

 The man laughed
 ''Annoyance?' he exclaimed. "She felt fattered. She looked less bored and you saw that she was in no hurry to leave You are certainly woman of the world enough to know that she did not object to my looking at her.
 That is just it." she interrupted. It is because do know something of the world and she does not That makes me feel as I do She does not know how to interpret things, and while she may think that you admire her, it was not
