From Lucile's
Diary


Carl Bates has been SO very nice to
me ever since I met him at Lakeside
q few weeks ago that I was anxious to
give some sort of party to which
could invite him. So I suggested ia
Louise Irwin that we have q quartet
beach supper at jackson park.
If you'll take some of your delicci,
sandwiches and CAKE" I said to
her, I'll provide fruit and the wiener
wursts and marshmallows to roast in
the beach fire"
Louise did not look transported at
what I considered q rather magnanim'
GUS arrangement, so I continued: Il
always envy your ability, dear. II

as you do I should be very proud, in!

well, I can bake some of my new
English cheese cakes" she said. quite
amiably.
"Oh. that will be splendid" I ex-
claimed. It'll ask Mr.. Bates to bring
his English friend. Lionel Hawley!
The cakes will be In his honory," I
added, merrily.
"But I intended to invite Candy Full,
ler," she objected
"Oh, you can entertain him some
other time," I explained. "You see, !

glad to meet4a new man once in a
WHILE"
Louise musti have taken this remark
of mine to heart, for on the way out in
Aunt Rachel's motor car-which I bor1
rowed of her chauffeur, telling him
that Aunt Rachel would like to have
me use It occasionally while she was
out Of town-Louise was exceedingly
attentive to Mr.. Hawley. I was quite
mortified. for NATURALLY wished him
to have a true idea of the dignity and
reserve Of American girls. When we
got to the beach, suggested to Louise
that she unpaoksher basket while the
men built q fire.
Where are your things?" she asked!
why, I explained. II thought the
v1nerwursts wouldn't be appropriate
on such a hot night"
"But where r your other things?";
persisted Louise.
1t she had had any'tact she would
have grasped the fact that 1 had for@
gotten the fruit and marshmallows,
Her inquiries we're most inconsiderate.
If there's anything needed I can
get 1t over at the German building"
suggested Mr.. Bates.
That's awfully good Of you" 1 said.
I'll have the chauffeur make the fire
while you're gone" Then I gayly
warned Mr.. Hawley when he started
to assist Louise. "You mustn't go neal
Miss Erwin's basket" I said, "for
there's a surprise in it for you. Come
and sit down by me-"
When he did as I directed 1 said:
I'm getting so engrossed in palmistry
that l should like to read the lines in
your hand. May I see them?"
"Awfully kind Of you," replied Mr..
Hawley, extending his palm.

brought him across many waters to
a pleasant destiny. He seemed much
impressed. So did MI. Bates when he
returned. He wanted his hand read
also. and 1t took me nearly the whole
evening to interpret fully the lines in
his and his friends palms. The glow

at fortune telling and character study

But, Notwithstanding my perfect good

The more I laughed and talked the
deeper her gloom became. Poo,
Louise is so crude.
Although she added so little to the
evening, I enjoyed it very much my
self. Indeed, If Aunt Rachel had not
