 unquestionably any girl with the qualities described above has had her "ehanees,' and the fact that she had the common sense to give the frozen mittn to Reginald Percy, the sweetheart of her budding and blushing years, whose chief attanments were to dance like an angel, with a lightness of foot and a corresponding lightness of head . a cultivated taste for lurid neckties i; an ability 10 part his hair in the middle with mathematical accuracy, and d s9,50 salary is rather in her favor
