t00m when they are 1TeSn ana SHe finishes them off She's an artist I've heard that she paints very well hough, to tell the truth, the few lit tie sketches I've seen of hers looked rather dauby to me. She and her sister sleep way up on the top floor in what I call cubby hole. She says she likes it on account of the north light, which is best for painting. suppose that's as good an excuse as any other for taking the cheapest room in the house.
 "Oh. you are on that floor, too ]? We'll, possibly the air is good up there md you don't mind stairs.
 "T always like to be on the parlor floor myself and besides it's so much nore cheerful One can see what's going on Why, do you know. last evening when it must have been near. y midnight, l happened to open my door, which is just opposite the draw ing room-we always say drawing room here-and saw Mrs. Snyder and young Frost sitting on the couch to- gether in a dim light. think it's dreadful the way Mrs. Snyder carries on with that boy. Really, if I should ever flirt with such callow youth, l should expect people to call me a ba- by snatcher. Some persons think Mrs Snyder is pretty, but I'm not fond of the fascinating widow type, my self.
 Will you please pass me the cream jug? I've always been used to rich cream and find 1t difficult to content myself with this blue fluid. You don't drink coffee? l suppose 1t is bad for the complexion, but I'm blessed with such naturally good color that I've never had to be particularly careful. However, I think you are wise to do everything you can for your com plexion
 That man with the tray is MT Tuck CT. He carries his wife's breakfast up to her every day. She wears her hair so elaborately that it takes her he whole morning to do it and really don't think the result is worth the effort So many puffs and curls of so many different shades make a woman look artificial, I think. Still, the cham bermaid says she's sight without her hair.
 If you don't care for those buck wheat cakes, I'll eat them. usually just nibble at my food, but I'm trying now to eat more heartily. for I think I'm really little too slender. Don't you feel sorry for all the women who are trying to get thin? Your stout ness isn't at all unbecoming, but you might try standing up 20 minutes after every meal. I've heard 1t re duces flesh quicker than anything
 I'm so glad to have some one at this little table with me. l think it's the pleasantest one in the dining room and I've tried them all. Hardly any one else seems to like it, though The l last person who was here was that old man over there in the corner. He l said he felt the draft here I was | glad when he changed his seat, for he was dull and taciturn. I think people should be cheerful at meal times, don't you? I love to chat, but some people are so different.
 Now, there was a school teacher who sat here for awhile and she didnf care for conversation at all. Why sometimes when 1 was speaking ant would ask her opinion about some thing. she would say: You must par 1 don me, I haven't been listening. Die you ever hear such rudeness?
 II see you've left a piece of toas on your plate Will you kindly pass i to me. I need a bite of something t fake the taste of that poor sirup out 0 my mouth.
 I'm glad old Mrs. Bruette doesn' sit at my table, for I can't stand see ing people take medicine at the meals. I'm so sensitive that it reall. makes me i'll. This? Oh, this is jus tiny lithia tablet I drop into m. water glass. Of course I'm too youn: to have rheumatism but I think i wise to be on the safe side in this eli mate and so l use preventive.
 "Well, I must go now. I find Tiff so dull, dolnS nothing put society, thd prefer a little congenial occupation so I go down into the city for fev hours every day.
 "If you'll come into the drawin, room tonight I'll introduce you to tn, incest people here. But I must war; you, my dear. to be very careful abou 1 making boarding house intimacies
 find it much the wisest plan to b, somewhat reserved and distant"
