Indeed / do" asserted the girl in
the green foulard gown. 1T is. as
say, perfectly true that all a man
cares about is being entertained and
amused. What difference does II
make to him II girl has kind heart
and Is angelic to her mother? All
that appeals to him Is her ability to
make an idle hour pass pleasantly!

neatly and the buttons sewed on her

straight past her In his eagerness to
get to Lottie Giggler under the willow

eyes!"
"Ffddlesticks!" scoffed the man.
How absurd! Don't you give men
credit for any sense?"
Not much" admitted the girl, with
calm frankness. 'If you men had any
sense you wouldn't be SO taken in as
you are nine times out of ten.
Il knew man once who was per-
fectly crazy about a girl because she
always was In such bubbling good
spirits and simply effervesced with
fun and life," went on the girl in the

and says, Dear mel Well let's not
think about 1t. Let's go to the theater
and cheer up. And, darling, get box
seats, because like them better!'
This man stood It till his wife gave
big card party when he was sick
with pneumonia, because she said she
positively could not stand the dullness
OF the house. What did he do? oh,
he just died. Evidently he thought
that was the quickest way out"
All girls who are cheerful and
amusing are not heartless," insisted
the man. I'VE men can tell the real
thing! We appreciate real worth"
"Bosh!" interrupted the girl in the
green foulard gown shortly. Excuse
my rudeness, but i couldn't help 1t.
Real worth, you know, is terribly
firing, because 1t is generally quiet
and serious, and nowadays everybody
runs from seriousness. When you are
picking out girl on whom to call you
don't choose one because she has col
lected more money for the heather
than anyone else or can manage a
downtown business, do you? / should
say not! You run over the list of your

chocolates from the confectionery
stores. But I'll warrant that Oracle
could build a fair-sized cottage out OF
her discarded candy boxes!"
