I've cut them all out now, except one who has bee
necessity to me. She's the finest ever, and she
have to ask me for the money when she wants to
house and lot, either.
THAT rings like real luxury, sighed the older
as her mother a widow:
Although this was profoundly serious, several
bers of the crowd laughed. The older man had b
bachelor 50 long that he should have been used {
disadvantages.
7 SHOULDN'T care to say positively that women

other causes than those previously presented here.
or most Of the girls happen to know are OF the al
class writers, painters, actorlneS, and that
sort.-and they YOU know, are such creatures
Of tcmperamcnt that any old material thing

Now. | live with an artist chap, and we give
small fcaSts at our studio with halt dozen or
more congcnial spirits at the board, and I'm
sure not a girl in the bunch doesn't ENJOY
them more than if we had on our exhibition rags
AT a swell restaurant. Two or three dollars
paws the bill for all, and, here he hesltated
moment, swell, if he doesn't sell something or |
don't next day, we are shy on luxury till we do.
Two or three dollars is not great deal OF money,
except when YOU don't have 1t. But our girls
are good fellows and they ask us TO their studios
quite as often we invite them to ours. II Is

economic association Free tickets for theaterS
come our way pretty often, and we enjoy them
fully, even though they may not always call Tor

pending on our luck we go to plain restaurant
after the play and have a dollars worth OF dis
plav food: but oftcncr we dig up bite IN some
friendly studio Luxury being relative, suppose

and sometimes they are not. Whatever they
are, hope I'll never be 50 rich or SO poor that
won't want 10 see them around.
The bank clerk and the insurance solicitor
asked the writing man If he wouldn't be KIND
enough to introduce them to few OF his lady
friends; but their ovcrturcS were not met with
enthusiasm Banking and insurance are not in
the tcmpcramcntal zone.
THINK" said the older man who had as
sumcd the position OF bengnant adviser to
the entire table that If the girls not IN the tenn
pcramcnta class would pattern little more
after those who are they would have more men
at their disposal, il that is what they want;
which il is. | fancy. because there's always more
or less complaint by women OF the scarcity Oh

a valuable asset.
