1t consists simply-let me see-in
'loosening the garments and lying down

from her mind like magic. There!"
he finished, triumphantly. That's
easy enough, isn't it?"
She laughed shortly.
Yes, it is,' she said, cycling the big
rents in very little stocking. 1T
sounds beautifully easy. The next

let fever or diphtheria, or when they
need new clothes and can't have them
because there isn't money enough, or

He coughed, shifted his paper and
read diligently elsewhere while she
smoothed out the wee stocking, picked
up it's mate looked at it obviously and
began to draw its jagged rents to-

smiled back. There must have been
a mistake, for she gave him naughty
stare and turned away. Evidently she
wouldn't flirt. But Simpkins kept his
eye on her. He couldn't help it.
Suddenly he saw her smiling again.
1t was a real smile this time, but it was
at some one across the aisle. 1t wasn't
just a smile of recognition, to leave the
features an instant later as blank as
they were before. She kept it up. She
was flirting Simpkins felt a jealous
pang. He was tempted to swear-to
condemn feminine taste in general.
The girl kept on smiling. She just
lavished smiles on the one across the
aisle
At last Simpkins could stand it no
longer. He just simply had to get a
look at his victorious rival He fol-
lowed the slant of the girls eyes, peek
ed over. the shoulder of a fat man, and
saw smiling back at the pretty girl
with positive crows of delight-a rosy
checked baby.
Then Simpkins swore again.

HOW SECRETS GET OUT.

How secrets become known and
gossipy information is disseminated are
one of the mysteries of social life. "A
little bird told me-" says the New
York Tribune, is generally the accept
ed evasion of a too direct inquiry in
regard to the source of any acknowl-
edged information, the so-called birds
that distribute the gossip that makes
the very principals themselves wonder
how the tale became known being
many and various. The message
bird" the manicure bird" the hello
bird are only a few of the different
species that CLEAN here and there the
tidbits of news which they scatter
abroad among their customers.
What do women expect when they
talk freely and without reserve among
themselves before the comparative
strangers who minister to their various
| needs? 2" said a matron who was COM
| menting on the possible leaks through
which Carefully guarded secrets es-
cape. Women of the great world are
like Pauline Bonaparte, who said in re-
gard to her footman, 'Mais, ma chere
appelie tn ca un homme?" They real
| ly act as if attendants were automa-
tons, and not human beings especial
| ly endowed with an eager curiosity in
+ all that appertains to those who con-
slider themselves their masters and mis-
tresses. People are very apt, too, to
be indiscreet on their telephone wire"
| she continued. THE person at the
end of the circuit generally feels that
the speaker and the listener are sep
arated from the rest of the world, and
| quite secure against eavesdroppers.
iG
| may their wires be crossed. and their
entire conversation distinctly audible to
some acquaintance who is at her own
! instrument; but the Central like the
spider in the middle of a huge web,
can listen whenever it interests her to
do so.
"Apropos of that" she added, IAN
| amusing little incident was told to me
the other day: A girl whose recent
engagement is still supposed to be a
great secret, quite unsupported by any
of her friends, so carefully have the
| willy couple concealed their intentions,
stopped at a large department store
| last week to wire her betrothed that
she would meet him downtown to go
to some out restaurant for
| luncheon. So she was considera bly,
| astonished the next day when her
mother, to whom she had not mention
ed her expedition, told her she must
either announce her engagement or OBJ
serve Mrs. Grundy's rules of etiquette.
Now, lunching with Mr.. q. alone
downtown yesterday" said the older
woman, was not at all the thing, I'M
less people knew you were enga ged!"
How could you know" exclaimed
the girl.
Her mother laughed. I'm the queer
est way" she answered. Mrs. Clay
ton told me. Her nursery governess
told her. The latter's sister has charge
of the telephone at MS, and has seen
you at Mrs. Clayton's, and she heard
you make the appointment for lunch
con with Mr.. x, and retdiled the bit
| of news to her sister, with whom she
had tea last night"
