wouldn't send my gown home 1t did
come, though, just in time for me to
dress. How do you like it?"
Second Plump Woman-"It's perfect

exactly right. So, well groomed, don't
you know, and all that. Doesn't she.
Mrs. Tilden?"
Mrs. Tilden-'It's the dearest thing
ever saw. You certainly have the
best taste in dress, Mrs. Snowdon.
Every time see Mrs. Snowdon, Mrs.
Thompkins, / say to myself: If

Mrs. Snowdon-"How nice you two
are! OF course, know you're Just
saying It to make me happy, but then
it's Just as dear Of you as If you meant

(Chorus of lamentations from the
other two)
Mrs. Tilden-"And such q dowdy

Mrs. Snowdon-"Funny, isn't It, how
queer these artistic people are about
their clothes? The only one / ever
knew who wasn't was the wife of that
artist who visited Mrs Tolman last
winter. Do you remember what per-
feet dreams her gowns were?"
Mrs. Tompkins with intense inter-

thing more beautiful than the one she
had at the reception Mrs. Tolman gave
for her"

usually Mrs. Tolman's. affairs are so
dowdy. By the way, there's Mrs.
Parks down there. Speaking of dowdy
people made me think of her. She
has less idea of dressing than All 9TH

went to Mrs. Tuttle's garden party last
Thursday in a perfectly plain linen
frock. Not even a suit, my dear-just
? little linen dress, with some sprays
of embroidery on the front panel. Can
you imagine any one doing such an

Mrs. Snowdon-"Poor Mrs. Tuttle!
