 q think that's so nice of you" said the girl, with enthusiasm.
 I'm afraid that I shock good peo- pie sometimes" said the young man, complacently.
 q just love people who do that" said the girl
 'l speak my mind, don't you know" said the young man. 'I have my own ideas on things and I'm not ashamed to tell them If people don't like them 1t is a matter of perfect indifference to me. Now, l don't think I shaii ever become engaged for one thing. Not that I think there is anything wrong broad view of it. The trouble is. generally speaking, that women are narrow in theirs. You see, they al ways want to monopoliZe a man. l don't think that is right, exactly"
 Tt doesn't seem exactly right, does it?" said the girl.
 The young man looked pleased. Now, 1 thought that l was going to shock you" he said. q didn't think you would agree with me. You really have more intelligence than most girls-far more.'
 I'm afraid you are trying to fiatter me-" said the debutante.
 ''No. indeed" said the young man. That's exactly the thing ~Ouldn do. I never do 1t. If I think thing 1 say 1t, whether 1t is complimentary or not. But this idea of devotion to just one girl is all wrong. l can ad- mire one girl very much indeed, but I don't see that that is any reason why I shouldn't admire others, do wu?"
 No, indeed" replied the debutante.
 "One girl has one quality and an- other has some other quality which the first girl doesn't have" said the young man, argumentatively. No one can expect to have all the admirable traits. That Is the way l look at it, And then. you know, man isn't al ways in one kind of mood At one time he may be feeling as if he want ed something lively and then he may be in a melancholy sort of mood. There are times when what 1 want is to talk to girl who has repose and at the same time sympathy and un- derstanding You know how that is, don't you?"
 T think I do," murmured the de butante
 But if a fellow is engaged to that sort of girl and some time when he wants a little fun he wants to-er- talk with a lively sort, then the other one gets mad and makes trouble. Then, too girl may be good,look- ing. Well, I'm a great admirer of beauty. I just like to look at it, but beauty won't satisfy a man. There isn't any one thing that will, so far as that goes. A man wants variety. Even in the matter of looks. I might think of a blonde and when l saw fne-looking brunette would feel pleas ure in looking at her, too. But the blonde wouldn't want to stand for that, you know. She'd get sore-er- angry, don't you know. Why should she? Nearly all the girls I know have some points about them that I like Some of them are one thing and some another Why shouldn't I enjoy them all? That's the reason I don't think that I would ever want to be engaged.
 Have got my points," asked the debutante, shyly.
 Lots of them" answered the young man, gallantly. For one thing, you are liberal in your ideas, and consid- ering how young you are that is great deal. And then you are beauti- ful. No I mean it, honest. Your type of beauty is the one that I pre- fer to any other, too. You mustn't mind If I speak frankly, you know, have to. If anybody asks me question always tell him the truth. like peo- pie to be frank, but they very seldom are"
 T know that's true" said the de- butante. ITO tell you the truth, Pm a good deal that way myself I've that same liking for variety. I like some men for one thing and some for another. and just as you say, we have different moods in which certain peo- pie appeal to us more than others. Sometimes I like men to talk to me and just listen and at other times they make me tired and l want to do some talking myself. Some men talk on interesting subjects and others don't When Mrs. Gipsen presented you to me just felt as if you would interest me-"
