When the faintness passed away
Margery found herself walking in TO
dinner on the arm of an ugly young
man whom she was sure she had
never before seen She was conscious
that she was talking, too, though she
could not remember q word that she
had been saying.
This might have alarmed her if it
had not been that she could not re-
member anything that had happened
in the last balf-hour--not since Miss
Whiting had telephoned that she
could not come to the dinner, which
was then ready to be served.
Her mother had rushed up to her
room. "Margery Margeryi" she
clamored. Throw aside those les
sons, quick! You'll have to come to
dinner tonight. Miss Whiting can't
come and Mr.. Drexel is horribly su1er
stitious and he'll be worried to death

table and your father is very anxious
to make q good impression on him

She is getting out my blue gown now
Thank goodness! you take after your
father and are big enough to wear my
clothes. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry"
Then Mrs. Haight rushed out of the
room and Louise had rushed in and
Margery had rushed into the blue
gown and the next thing she really
knew was when she was clinging de-
spairingly to the arm of the ugly
young man and wondering what on
earth she had been saying.
The young man did not seem to no
tice her confusion. When he looked
down--he was tall young NAH

when woman has a new pair of
shoes sent home" said the cynical
salesman, she goes to work at 'em
very unlike a man under similar cir
cumstances.
"She never shoves her toes into
them and yanks at 'em till she's red
in the face, nor after getting them on
at last does she go stamping around,
telling those shoes with great frank
ness what her opinion is of 'em and
of herself for ever countenancing
EN-. No.
"She pulls 'em carefully part way
on; twitches 'em off again to take an
other look at 'em to see whether she
has got the right shoe on the left foot
and left shoe on the right foot; pulls
'em all the way on; looks at 'em
dreamily; says they seem to fit so
well that she's afraid they'll get too
big by and by; takes another look
at em; twists 'em around to take a
side view, gives little scream, and
exclaims:
"'Oh, my, there's wrinkle al
ready! Mercy, how loose they are!'
Then she looks at 'em again,
square in front; works the feet around
to find If she can't induce the shoes
not to hurt quite so much; takes the
shoes off, looks at the heels, the toes,
the soles, and the interior; puts 'em
on again; walks up and down the
room once or twice, and declares posi-
lively to her husband, sitting by:
They're horrid! l won't have
them at any price!'
"Then she tilts down the looking
glass on the dresser so she can see
how they appear viewed from all the
positions the mirror will reflect 'em
to her, backs off, trips sidewise, steps
nearer, nearly dislocates her neck try
ing to see how they look from impos-
sible points of view, takes another
farewell glance at 'em from all posi-
tions, sits down and says:
They make my feet look too horrid
for anything, and as if | were wearing
at least threes and half! They never
will do in the world!'
"Then she takes 'em off, turns 'em
over, inspects them heel, toe, sole
and inside all over again, smooths out
wrinkle, pulls at the buttons and
says:
Every button on them will drop
off the first time l go out in them,
know! And those heels! They look
almost ridiculously low enough to be
common sense heels The idea!'
"Then she draws 'em on again, takes
'em off, puts 'em on, looks 'em over
again in the mirror this, that and the
other way, takes 'em off and says:
John, dear, won't you give me
your idea about these shoes? You
have such excellent taste and judg-
ment in such things
Then if John is wise he will look
'em over and say that they look to
him absurdly high as to heel, thin as
to sole and too tight around the in
step.
"'Oh, do you, dear? she will say.
and thank him sweet1y.
Then she will try 'em on again,
show them off before the mirror, sit
down, run her hand over 'em gently

her:
