Didn't you let him know you were

There may be girls" said the
young woman who was visiting, "whe
would feel right about announcing TO
a man that they we're soon 70 be- in

gain. Il don't see how girl can
quarrel with man who Is nothing
but a--a--welI, casual friend.
Why, have never devoted enough
thought to George Moran 10 be able
to quarrel with him. Besides, 1t
would take him a whole hour to get
here since he has moved. II he had
dinner at Z he could not start much
before 8, could he? And"
"WcIl, he isn't likely to start,
since you didn't tell him you'd be
here" remarked Sadie, little short
ly. I'm sure don't see--when he's
such splendid fellow. Anyhow,
his feelings will be fearfully hurt,
for he's so sensitive. He'll think
you didn't care about seeing him"
Il think / can endure life If
don't lay eyes on him." said the
girl who was visiting, picking out a
piece of sheet music and then re-
jecting It. Its really annoying for
you to assume that care In the least
about him just because l went around
with him the other time. Goodness!

home and nobody thinks anything Of
It, Listen!"
The two girls stared at each other
in silence, and then Mabel colored
trihe. II thought it was the door

books and box of candy"
"Of course, IL you want to very

my hair flying loose in the back?
can't see in this glass.
Your hair looks fine" said Sadie.
You must have spent at least an
hour on 1t. It's a shame to waste
so much effort on just me, but APP
preciate the compliment. Do play
If you feel like it."
81 don't suppose George Moran is
very popular is. he?" carelessly in

she sat down at the piano. He's
not attractive enough to-"
"Popular!' cried Sadie. Il should

What for?" asked her hostess in
amazement. Nobody will see 1t now
except me and I've stood it remark
