T HERE'S a giddy blonde of the so
called sterner sex in the town, and
he's not new one, either, but is
wei known TO a number Of fair friends
oy his wealth of golden locks and his
deep blue eyes. None Of the girls with
whom he has hirted regularly have
taken him seriously, but even the best
and jolliest Of girls like to be treated
fairly. Some months ago rumOr was
ahoat that the youth was engaged TO
miss Just out of her teens, and despite
the fact that she bIushed and looked
conscious when taxed with the rumor,
ne stoutly denied it. One evening he
was to call at the home OF enc of a
group of girls and three of the others
came IN. They had quietly investi-
gated the matter by means of the
mother Of the extremely young maiden,
and together they offered congratula-
tories. Still he denied, and he has been
met with frost by each Of the bunch,
every one Of whom would have been
glad to have welcomed the news had he
been manly about It. Now the girl
herself has heard OF his denials in the
face Of her quiet announcements, and
she may begin a series of denials her

There is a young bachelor in the
town prominent in the professions who
has had his abode In a downtown hos
telry since his advent to the city some
time ago. Recently he has changed
his dwelling place, but utterly oblivious

the Officers club Friday evening.
which, if their large mouths could
speak. might unfold a tale of a gnost
and his effect on a couple who were
enjoying the rising moon. The ghost
was a real flesh and blood affair, but if
he had been of airy nothing he could
not have startled the maiden more nor
caused more chagrin on the part Of the
man.
An edict has gone forth from an east
ern fashion dictator that the chrysan-
themum is no longer the proper flower
for the bOutonniere. This will not Sc
TiOusly affect the price of the flowers,
however, as they can still be used for
other purposes.
The usual Wednesday table d'hOte
luncheOns will be continued at the
Country club throughout the coming
month if the weather permits. They
have proven such a success for the past
two months that they will doubtless be
regular features Of the monthly pro-
grammes hereafter.
It's an easy stunt, that, for Hal

the face of the one he loves best re

There will be a good many queer
FRANKS even in society tomorrow night,
and several young persons will be
reading fortunes which their admiring
friends have been able to read for a
long time past. DOLL BARET.
