So he's been here, has he?"
HE happened to CALVES"
"And you got out your millinery to

Don't be absurd and don't look at
me so savagely. I had it on when he
came. showing it to mother"
He called to see your mother, sup
poser"
No, think he called to see me-"
"Oh!"
But mother took it for granted that
he came to see her, for she stayed and
visited with him. Perhaps it was be-
cause winked at her.
Bless her dear heart" said the young
man, fervently. She's jewel"
Well, what do you think of it?"
See here, l don't want to decide on
a thing like that too hastily. What do
you think of 1t yourself?"
I'm not going to help you a bit. You
seem to have a mind of your own about
some things"
"As much as you'll allow me to have -
Nonsense! | don't think | have a
particle of influence over you in any
way"
Il like that Who made me give up
smoking, I'd like to know, and who in
duced me to sit out symphony con-

thing
so did. My pipes were the one

Enjoyment is too mild name for it."
Il mean the concert"
well, enjoyment isn't too mild a
name for that"
I'm disappointed in YOU" said the
girl, in changed tone. Il really did
believe you liked it."
81 did. TrulyI did," declared the
young man, hastily. 81 don't know
when I've liked anything more. 1t was
the first time | had ever sat next to
you every minute of an entire evening.
You see, that took my attention off the
concert itself"
81 dare say. But what about the

TITS quite hat, all right"
That's what it was represented
to be-"
"Ye-es. Couldn't be any mistake
about it, could there? or course, 1t
hasn't a crown, but then it has decided
brim to it, and they don't put feathers
on a muff, do they? Well, as to that
hat Turn around full face once
more"
i've turned around until I'm tired"
"You say Carlow liked it,"
Immensely"
well, don l.
The girl removed the hatpins with an
offended air and then took off the hat
and laid it on the table.
"There!" said the young man, tri-
umphantly. you see for yourself.
Canlow's an assam idiot, He couldn't
discriminate, that's all. Now, when you
first put that thing ON and turned to

Not a particle, F." said the young man,
coolly. Just look at it there Did you
ever see a more lopsided, idiotic, futile
nightmare? Become you! No, but you
become it, all right! There on the table
it's all that said it was, but Here,
let me put it on again. Now! Now it's a
dream of elegance and beauty. It is and
it isn't Considered as part of your
toilet and attached to you it's a seven
times winner. The charm that radiates
from you transforms and transfigures
It. 1t would make my derby look sweet
and coquettish if you put it on. But
as hat! Well, scorn to fiatter hat"
"Oh, bother!" said the girl.
Keep 1t on" said the young man.
