side of the elevator door similarly occu-
pied in marking time.
The elevator arrived. debouching Miss
L., who passed between d. and the wait
ing young lady. She responded to D. s
salutation in passing. D. waited for the
young lady to enter the elevator. then
followed. m
Miss l.. is near-sighted-so D. says. She
turned on her heel before the elevator
had started to move, rushed to the still
open door and inquired in her sweetest
tones:

NO indeed" replied D.
oh" said Miss L.. and the door slam
med to- and the elevator descended.
D. looked at the young lady. expecting
she would smile at the inference that she
was his mssis.
Whether it was his too emphatic repu-
diation OF her as his wife, Or that D. was
not to her taste in masculine construc-
ton. or that she was naturally reserved.
or cross. or stupid. or wanting in sense of
humor, a greater analyst of women than
D. alone could determine. Perhaps it
was because he is poor married man.
d. says he thinks it was mixed lack of
intellect and of a funny bone. However
it is explained. she found nothing to pro-
woke a smile in the situation. and, D.
saws. appeared not to have heard, al
though that was impossible; nor to have
understood-not improbable.
So D. had two causes for mirth instead
of one, he says.
Miss L. meanwhile had penned her en-
barrassed essay to set herself right and
had laid the note on DIS desk.
Before he saw the note. d. saw Miss L.
and thought he would share with her the
joke about the girl who could not smile.
He had never a thought that Miss L. con-
sidered herself in disgrace with him, and
