 A pretty young girl remarked to me while we were out for a stroll: T wonder if the great majority of girls think as do? That girls are not near so pretty and fascinating in the daytime as they are in the evening"

Then from the lips of each heard the re- mark: Why. you don't look like the 6ane girl. You seem different in the ning!'
