The young man in the painfully new
suit gazed admiringly at the young
woman whose immaculate lingerie
waist and deliberately done up hair
bore witness to the fact that his cal

however, that he removed his gaze
from her face quickly whenever she
looked at him.

The young man saw an opening, but
his shyness hampered him. PLANT"
he repeated. why, nobody could call
you that"
The young woman looked as II he
had fallen short of what he might
have said but she was used to 1t.
Look at the way she has treated poor
George Peabody" she went on, indig.

IAN girls are not like you" said the
young man with general regret. They

with lovely sadness. 1T seems so un.

The young man swallowed hard. rs

hasn't told her, mean?"
The young woman looked as imper.

cases she does" she admitted. That

she generally knows. or course. there
are cases where she hasn't any idea,
because the man is SO careful not to
give her a chance to think so. OF
course, then she can't be blamed"
No, of course not" agreed the
young man, looking downcast.
Il don't see how Clara had any ex.
cuse, though" went on the young
woman. George had been coming to
see her regularly for year and a
half and taking her everywhere and
bringing her things!"
The young man glanced hopefully at
the large box of candy the young
woman had had the pleasure OF open
ing since his arrival that evening.
That's just about as long as I've
been coming to see you, isn't it?' he
asked, daringly
why, | believe it is" said the
young woman in apparent surprise
And she had given him every reason
to hope. Letting him come so often
and wasting so much time on him was
enough to give any man the right to
think she cared about him"
