girl would be mean, but she would LIKE
to keep hisl going along ut just com
Portable jog trot But do you suppose
man would? Not q bit of it. No
stree. He wants to catch the car. and
he wants to catch it pretty quickly
and If he doesn't-well, he just goes
and catches another car. That's just
what man will do every time. 49,.
you see, a girl likes to have man
come to see her, and it's very nice II
he takes her out sometimes, and Of
course every girl likes q little candy
once In awhile, and few flowers, and
it. is pleasant to have some one always
ready to dance with you, and the girl
will be just as nice and sweet and po-
lite as she can be, and wear her pref
tiest gowns when she goes out, because
a man does like to be seen with a girl
who dresses we'll. 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 little standing,
and makes people think ntti more
Of you. %4rsN 5::s ~ ~
That's just the way q girl would
like to go along in, nice, pleasant
way, making the man have just as
pleasant a time as she can. But there
isn't one man in 1000 who is satisfied.
Il don't like to think so, Phyllis, but
am afraid men are just a teeny,
'weeny bit selfish. They will only go
on with the flowers and the candy and
all that for only just SO long. Then q
girl must just say q 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 there'n be trouble.
There was that case of Bella Bron-
son right in our own set. Bella is so
pretty! And Dick Jenkins was just
dead in love with her! I 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 che was just hav-
ing lovely time, Arl it might have
gone on till now, only G;ck -'ouldn:t.
Bella liked him awiIlly we'll, but
not quite we'll enough to be engaged
to him. So when he proposed she said
no. but she would like to re good
friends and all that, and she scped it
would all be just as it was before,
only nicer, because they woul1 both
understand. But what did tie man
do?
why, he went right of in huh
and married that new girl who came
to town, and must say they seem
very happy, only it was too bad he
have been contented to be just
q good friend with Bella, for she is
about the incest girl know of. 1t is
very hard to understand men," and
Belinda sighed. -.
"But I thought you were very anx-
ious to 60 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
dear, cunning little place it will be
just like dolls house, and I always
did love to play ip dolls house. And
then Tom says I don't know how to
cook and I just want to show him that
it's as easy as easy can be, and that
you don't have to study 1t as you do
10 be a doctor or a lawyer" =, =.
ooh, yes, that's quite different" said
Y. Times.
