Lawyer 1OOheu dCIOSS TIC d
quette and nearly blinded HIM
self. He thought he had seen
some 24-caret Tizums when he
attended College and hung
around the Fem Sem, but the
Girl that he now beheld was in
a class by herself. She made
Cleopatra look like Martha the
Sewing Girl. And Venus arts
ing from the Sea was a squizzly
old Soap Advertisement in
three elementary Colors.
The fair Unknown had a pair
of Incandescent Headlights
that beat the Anna Held Litho-
graphs; a Complexion like the
Sunset Blush on a Snow-Bank,
and enough Hair rising above
her to fit out two Girls of her
size. She was somewhat attired
in Whipped-C Cream delicates-
sen Delirium with mauve-col-
ored Galluses. When she famed
herself it could be seen that she
had put some Jeweler out of the
Business.
1t is very seldom that one
sees ANYTHING of that kind ex-
cept in the back part of a Maya
zine.
Of course, she did not know
that the Opera Glasses were be-
ing pointed at her, even by
those who sat two Rows in
front. If she had known that
it would have annoyed her lot.
1t always annoys a Young
Woman who has put on $1,000
worth of Hurrah Clothes to
have a lot of Strange Men do
the Waldorf-Astoria Inspec-
ton The only thing that an
noya her more than that is to
have these same Goodyear Spe-
cialists overlook her entirely.
When some AZ would-be
Lady-Stealers are giving a Cir
Gus Maiden the Grand Stand
Eye, she has to be in fine Con-
dition if she can sit through it
and not let on. The Unknown
was still Bud and vet she was
thoroughly up in the Part. She
was unconscious of her own
Hit, and she was determined to
keep on being unconscious.
Among the other Things she
wore that Evening was a feath-
erweight Escort who had Percy
written all over him. The Men
were wondering why any Peach
erette with a Kentucky Shape,
who could take her Pick of all
Mankind, should want to carry
such a sad Specimen of Excess
Baggage. He was one of these
90-pound Wrap-Holders who
showed his Teeth when he was
pleased. He belonged out at
Mothers Place in the Country,
feeding the White Rabbits.
Every Man who saw him snug
Cling up to the Unknown hoped
that he would fall down and
break his Leg.
The Rising Young Attorney
caromed on both sides of the
Aisle when he went out for he
was still looking at the Dream.
He hid behind Billboard and
saw her come out with the HUI
man Weasel. In her Opera
Cloak she certainly was very
easy to look at.
On his way to the Boarding
House he walked two Blocks
past the Place. The Unknown
had him trancifed. He mag
ined himself riding with her in
a Golden Automobile through
Grove of Violets. There was a
Music Box Attachment under
the Seat and she was fighting
to hold his Hand. He came to
Just in time to save himself
from walking into the River.
This Attorney was an emo
tionable Proposition. He had a
high John G. Calhoun Fore
head and the 'yearning Look of
a Genius who would like to
trade a College Education for a
Meal-Ticket. From the Mo-
ment when the Goddess flashed
across his Pathway, he was
Stung in eight different Places.
All during Business Hours he
looked off into Space without
seeing anything in Particular
and ne was thinking of Her.
No Clients ever came stamping
in to pull him out of his Re=-
erie and slip him a few Retain
ers. He was a good Union Low
er and put in his full 8 hours
per, working up Day-Dreams.
He called her a good many
Names that would have been
New ones on her.
One Day he saw her on the
Other side of the Street. 1t
made him google-eyed and he
