back With me-"
She had about twenty calls 70
make" explained the young mother.
Calls. / thought she never made
| them She's always taking about
finding 4 few copgeDial friends and
! degOtlng al ones time 70 them S1e
always says It's banai 70 pretend ar
Interest that you do not feel"
You mean that she used % so
th0Ee things. John Reed has gone
70 Paris nov with bis atmOsgcers
and art and annitleg and Richard AD-
stadt II buying chocolates Tor Alice
these days"
Why. he's dinner-znd-danes
klnd Of man"
TO be sure, and Alice has bought
the l0yeIiest new card plate and .
manye calling costume and Insists
that one must zee those one loves
n only for a few minutes. FURTHER
more, she vas telling me TO-DAY about
the real value Of amenities and ex-
fesnaIs,"
gBt only two months ago she Tss
ae4Flsz q short skirt IN the evening
80 discovering the beauty Of Deo-
v.e4 gogIs the few 20 whom one
eO4l1 reveal ones self"
"AIl that Was because u JOha,
said the hOstese, turning the brace
let on her arm. Alice - purely =
nAn-made woman. She - eOatiDn-
ally changing Without the power 70
stat changed"
Has there been any one besides
John and Ricbardz|
N you stop 70 think, yoBH re-
member that Alice Is never without
GONE masculine interest, I've years
styo when she loved her music 20 it
wag nothing but young WbitIaH that
dld Il. II vas be who got her in
teyeued IN Brahms. You never hear
her play nov. And that Christmas
when sae gave Us such beautiful en-
broldered things and had such = I'd
for cooking. she vas interested p
Matthew Vaughan, who admired DO
nestle women"
Bet what's TO be the hazi eject
On Alice Of this sort Of thingz
well. some people call her a fad
dist. others say she's insineeTe- !
thing Il makes her awfHIIy interest
ing, myself, 20 call the Others
wrong"
II she EnarTies-
~Oh, II she mzrTies," interrupted
the hostess. 1T would all depend On
whether or not she kept her interest
fl her husband. hope he wOuId not
be too extreme
Il knew a girl once" asserted the
visitor, who married man WHO
loved birds and animals he thought
q wife should enter into her hus-
bands life-so once a week she had
u wash his white SPITE dog. When
ehe vas past 30, my dear he made
her climb trees with him and rob
rests 70 add to his collection Of
eggs"
you miss my meaning. Alice Is
really seeking self-deveIopment m
der masculine protection Most wo-
men as clever as she would develop
on their own initiative. She puts
her talents in trust, so to speak.
do you think that men lis~ it
asked the visitor.
sOh. II you are seeking what men
like exclaimed the hostess, pray
that the next time you come on earth
YOU may be a plump blonde with lots
of hair and eyes and no particular
ideas except that every man Is a
matrimonial possibility and every
woman a true and tried enemy To
a man, that type connotes a warm
fire and a well-cooked supper. IL
you smile, a mans power of creating
illusions will do the rest. Before the
first evenings over, tell him how
sweet Evangeline' Is and play few
bars of the Flower Song and he'll
think he has found an intellectual
affinity as we'll"
Il hope Alice will stop now and
marry Richard" said the visitor re-
fectIveIy. I'm afraid she will meet
an anarchist or a slum worker"
You must cultivate amore scien-
tific spirit" laughed the hostess. 4
delight in the prospect of either. An
athlete followed by an archaeologist
would please me more, however. In
the meantime, well return Alice's
calls punctually and go to the teas
and dinners she is planning to give.
