Of things-she is so very odd, you
know. | feel sorry for girl VINO
fails to be popular! Of course, can't
even family imagine how it seems, but
l should think it would be awful"
las bad as that?" asked the young
man.
Goodness, yes" said the girl in
pink. You never see AntOinette
anywhere. She hasn't been to dance
for year or so. And she wears such
funny clothes Of course you can't
really blame a girl if she has no in
stinct for style and doesn't care to
keep up with things! Why, last win
ter when every one was pawning her
rings to buy enough hair to keep up
with the styles / saw Antoinette going
around with just her own hair on"
"She has lot of it," said the young
man.
But fancy!" cried the girl in pink.
mo matter how much hair you have
you can't do it up in style if one end
of it is fastened to your head! She
just didn't care! And she's never had
a hobble skirt to her name She's
gone right on wearing her last years
tailor suit as though she felt perfectly
up to date in it. Don't you like to see
girl progressive?"
'Er-yes," said the young man.
Gut"
Il really don't like to say anything
that sounds like running another per-
son down" went on the girl in pink,
in a panied voice. THAT isn't my ma
ture, as you know, Mr.. Friller-Henry.
But Antoinette always struck me as
being terribly empty headed! l never
could get her to settle down to seri-
Gus talk-she would act restless or
laugh or move away.
II think really sweet natured girl
would take some interest in her
friends affairs, don't you?
Poor Antoinette! l wonder what
life can hold for unfortunate girls like
her! They have nothing to look for
ward to- But | try not to dwell on
such things. There is no use in har-
rowing ones self over the misfortunes
of others. However, l feel things SO
deeply. l really suffer, Mr. Friller-
Henry, If l think every one isn't as
happy and contented as myself, Z
But you said you had something to
ask me?"
Il asked it, confessed the young
man, looking red and uncomfortable.
81 asked what you thought of Antoin-
cite. You see, l wanted to tell you
that she aud are engaged"
