Iaint Diusn. Il didn't know you
had seen 1t. I couldn't Imagine what
you meant. Goodness--why make a
fuss over a simple thing like that"
The girl pinning ribbons gave sort
Of choked crow. "Simple!" she
echoed. Well. diamonds aren't SO ter.

better'n / am choose to put on airs
that's their own affair. Only my
'ather is city official instead OF Just
clerk like yours He's a policeman,
and he's taught us not to put on dog!
Just remember he says to US often,
that people will find out fast enough
the position l hold without you kids
Boosting about 1t and don't act as
Be kind to them!'
None of our family would go
around pretending diamonds was the
dirt under our feet. though the land
knows we could have diamonds II we
wanted EN-. Not that we'd be SO fool
ish as to spend hard earned money
for foolishness like that"
II think" said the extremely blonde
young woman at the lace, that you
are very sensible, Julia M'ree. Land
knows when a girl is SO homely she
hasn't any chance of marrying she ia
wise to save up for her old age! Not
that I'm saying l bought my ring
myself"
II don't suppose you did" said heI
friend. Il never supposed you ever
saw SO much money at one time In
your life! It's awful. being SO i'm
provident! Well. II you didn't buy 1t
/ suppose some one gave 1t to you
and / must say that what any girl can
see in that sappy. weak-eyed pinhead
of Percy Fox that fioorwalks In the
next aisle but one is beyond me! I'm
sorry for the girl that ties up to him
"a two room fiat for her for the rest
OF her life"
"Ye-es" agreed the blonde young
woman at the lace. languidly. Il don't
think much Of Percy myself"
"Oh," said the girl at the ribbons,
somewhat blankly. Then he didn't
give It to you! l don't like to pry
but I must say I have my opinion OF
a girl who keeps her affairs from her
best friends and never talks about
her steady company. I've told you all
about Oscar long ago. and you never
saying q word! Any child would
know that q fellow who gives girl
a diamond ring expects to marry her.
I don't suppose I'll even be invited
to the wedding. Not that I care-but
/ must say it's a shabby way to treat
an old friend!

your affairs! / don't want to know
about your feenonsay. for he's not OF
the slightest consequence to me!

Only a girl can't be very proud OF
man she's ashamed to talk about even
II he can AFFORD to give her diamond
rings, which isn't saying they're In
good taste when they're as big as

You mako me laugh" said the
blonde young woman. turning hef
hand SO that the stone in question
caught the rays Of the arc light above

as soon tell you as not about the
ring. Julia M'ree. My kid sister got II

"H'm!" suspiciously shifted the girl
who was pinning tags on ribbons
why didn't you say SO before?
