"Of course | don't mean that any
girl would be mean, but she would like
to keep him going along at just COM
Portable jog trot But do you suppose
man would? Not a bit of it. Ma
stree. He wants to catch the car, and
he wants to catch it pretty quickly,
and If he doesnt-well, he just goes
and catches another car. That's Just
what man will do every time
You see, a girl likes to have man
come to see her, and it's very nice if
he takes her out sometimes, and of
course every girl likes a little candy
once in awhile, and a few flowers, and
1t is pleasant to have some one always
ready to dance with you and the girl
viii be just as nice and sweet and po-
lite as she can be, and wear her pret-
tiest gowns when she goes out, because
man does like to be seen with a girl
who dresses well. Oh, she would be
very nice to him, indeed.
She would not even mind being en-
gagged. 1t is rather nice to be engaged
and wear a ring, and then of course
you can go out more, and then you
like to hear people whisper that that
pretty Miss-er-er-Miss Smith is en-
gagged to that handsome Tom-er-er
Brown. 1t gives you a little standing,
and makes people think a little more
of you.
That's just the way a girl would
like to go along in nice, pleasant
way, making the man have Just as
pleasant time as she can. But there
isn't Que man in 1000 who is satisfied.
Il don't like to think so, Phyllis, but
| am afraid men are just teeny,
weeny bit selfish. They will only go
on with the flowers and the candy and
all that for only just so long. Then
girl must just say plump yes or
no. and then she is engaged and she
can't even stay engaged but she must
set the day for the wedding, and then,
you see, the man has caught the car,
and there are no more flowers, no more
candy, no more-well, if Tom forgets
anything else therell be trouble.
There was that case of Bella Bron-
son right in our own set. Bella is SO
pretty! And Dick Jenkins was lust
dead in love with heri l must say.
Bella was very nice to him. She went
almost everywhere with him, and wore
his flowers, and read the books he
brought to her, and she was just hav-
ing a lovely time, and it might have
gone on till now, only Dick couldn't.
Bella liked him awfully well, but
not quite well enough to be engaged
to him. So when he proposed she said
no. but she would like to be good
friends and all that, and she hoped it
would all be just as it was before,
only nicer, because they would both
understand. But what did the man
do?
why, he went right off in huff
and married that new girl who came
to town, and l must say they seem
very happy, only it was too bad he
couldn't have been contented to be just
a good friend with Bella, for she is
about the incest girl I know of. 1t is
very hard to understand men," and
Belinda sighed.
But / thought you were very anx-
ious to go to housekeeping in your lit
tie fiat, Belinda" said Phyllis.
why, that's quite different" said
Belinda, with dignity. I'VE have the
fiat all furnished, and it is such a
dear, cunning little place it will be
just like a dolls house, and always
did love to play in dolls house. And
then Tom says l don't know how to
cook and just want to show him that
it's as easy as easy can be, and that
you don't have to study it as you do
to be doctor or a lawyer"
"Oh, yes, that's quite different" said
Belinda.-N. Y. Times
