would open to let forth the Little
HeiTess and the shirtfront. with which
she had agreed to dance. AS a rule
she looked very little and like a child
against the man with whom she was
dancing, and when it was time to tell
him that she could not sit out the
next dance with him in the conseEva-
tory she had to turn up her face to
him to do so. And then. she looked
so little, and so sweet and enticing,
just the way a pansy looks, that, as
one man, the phalanX ground its
teeth.

herself, there might be man or
two waiting for me (she had just
seen her face, that was so like a
pansy, in a long mirTor), but now it
has to be just shirtfrOnts."
The face that the Little Heiress
liked to look at was rather a proud
young face, that kept itself apart
from the phalanx When the man
who owned the face thought it was
his duty to dance with the Little
HeiTess he would cut through the
phalanx as a yacht cuts, through
water and ask her. And she would
be ready for him with her gladdest
smile; just such smile as the beau
tiful lady wore when the hero res
cued her from the horrible sea mon
steT But gladdest smiles, and the lit
tie hand on his arm, made very little
impression on Proud Face. When,
for hospitality received, or any rea-
son as good, it was his duty to ask
her to dance, he asked her; when it
was not his duty, he didn't. HE
