That's all very WELL" here put in
the wise woman 81 believe in broad
ening the horizon, in bowling and
smiling and making acquaintance ev-
erywhere. Didn't I read a paper at
But, my goodness, since then 1 have
seen an example that shows things can
be carried too far Perhaps you have
met Marie Canton? Well, she and her
husband live in the Boulevard, that
big apartment hotel on the west side,
there that has the price, and those that
love variety can meet all kinds there.
Marie beams on all alike-the gOdly
and the ungOdly-and if any one wants
to hook arms with her, so to speak,
why, Marie will still beam in that
sweet childish way. It's all very well
for Marie, because her husbands So
cial position is such that it will stand
the strain, and it doesn't hurt Marie
herself, because all her friends SIM
ply think she's a sweet, undiscriminat-
ing child, but it's awfully hard on
Marie's friends You never know
whom she is going to introduce you to.
"For instance, the other day she and
Mrs. Hamilton drove up to the casino
in the park, and who should greet them
cheerfully but two understood, very
seedy looking men of swarthy foreign
appearance. They live in the BOule-
vard,' whispered Marie in explanation
as she bowed back and actually intro
duced them to the Mortified Mrs. Ham,
ilton. The inevitable happened, of
course. The men Quartered themselves
at the same table, and some friends OF
Mrs. Hamilton at table near by had
the pleasure Of beholding very mixed
fOursome composed of two stunning
women and two men that looked more
like adventures than anything else.
When Mrs. Hamilton finally broke
away she was so angry she wouldn't
speak to Marie, and when the fastidi-
GUS Mr.. Hamilton heard of it there
was almost divorce"

"Well, I'm glad you can find it so
funny, but here Is story that may
not amuse you so much, because your
sister was the victim. She was the
guest at lunch given to her at the
West Side Yacht club. Suddenly both
she and her husband saw Marie Can
ton in the distance. oh let's ask Ma
RE over. She is such fun! your sister
said. Better find out who she Is WITH
put in her husband, laughing. When
Marie came over, sure enough, she
brought with her a loud looking wom-
an of the pronounced strawberry blond
type. The young man who gave the
lunch nearly tainted. Your sister was
privileged to walk in the street a few
times with the charming blond and
Marie. Finally she demonstrated. oh,
she's a perfectly nice woman ex-
planned Marie, lives at the Boulevard
and drives a pair of horses In the park
every day
ct turned out in a month or so, when
the perfectly nice woman was put out
of the Boulevard, that she was the d.
vorced wife Of Spot Cole, gambler
and also interested 'on the side in a
livery stable, which latter respectable
part Of his calling accounted for the
swell turnout. Whenever the lady
meets your sister she insists on bow
ing, and as she is pretty well known
the ordeal is trifle embarrassing. You
see, there are limitations to making
friends" MAUD ROBINSON.
