Gertle I>yier-- Mamma, ATcnAe 1 Westover wants to take my photo graph with his new camera May he?"
 Mrs. Kyler-"But, Gertie you have
 mt got on your prettiest dress" 1 Mrs. Artigue-'. My dear child do you l think it is conventional to have your photograph taken with a young man l whose existence you were not aware of till he got off the boat yesterday 2" Gertie-''Why, Archie is one the young men to whom l am almost en- gaged. It seems as if we had known each other for years" Maddern-"What is out of place in letting the young people take photo graphs of themselves and of Lone some Hollow if they want top Mrs. Artigue-"Oh, nothing; only l wouldn't allow any one to take my Mrs. Kyler-"My dear. no one has attempted to. Indeed. think you are perfectly safe"
 Mrs Artigue-'T knew a young girl about Gertie's age-only she was pretty-who had her photograph taken one time by an almost strange young
 man. She forgot all about the incl dent till one day. months after she tainted dead away in grocery, for she saw her likeness on a soap wrap per. The young man had sold her
 photograph to an advertising concern for S2''
 Mrs. Kyier-''Do you mean to insin- uate that Archie would do such a
 thing with Gertie's photograph?''
 Maddern-"You never can tell
 Mrs. Artigue- Nobody could do such thing. The other girl was
 quite handsome"
 Mrs. Kyler-''Where you have week
 ended before there must have been
 low aggregation"
 Mrs. Artigue-"M Maddern, listen
 to the way Mrs. Kyler speaks to a
 woman who has summered at Carls-
 bad, Brighton, Lucerne and Ostend-
 not to mention Lonesome Hollow
 Maddern-"No, 1 wouldn't mention it if I were you"
 Mrs. Kyier-"You'H have nice
 time explaining why you came to a
 place like Lonesome Hollow after go-
 ing to all those fashionable places.
 It's an awful drop"
 Mrs. Artigue- Madam, I came here
 to see the gorgeous sunsets. A china
 painter friend of mind told me that
 I'd never see natures masterpiece,
 painted with her own pigments, till l
 witnessed the evening sun dipping into wonder forest" it slid down behind the smokehouse on the next farm yesterday it was a
 sight for the gods-if the gods weren't particular.
 Mrs. Artigue-"It reminds me of the Pyrenees."
 Mrs. Kyler-"When think of that remark about Archie selling Gertie's ! photograph for a soap wrapper I can scarcely control my indignation. suppose you can see deceit and me- farious designs in that handsome 1 young college man, Alfred, who waits on table,
 Mrs. Artigue-'I keep my own i counsel
 1 Maddern-' -''The only thing I have i against Alfred is that he got up the ] quartet that makes life here worse 1 than it was"
 1 Mrs Kyler-"You probably don't l know music when you hear 1t. Alfred 1 sings an excellent tenor and those 1 other boys have wonderful voices" 1 Mrs. Artigue-'T headed the peti- l tion that requested the proprietor ot Lonsome Hollow to- have them sing ir 1 the woods and warned him that ii l they didn't we'd all leave" l Maddern-"My name was second or l the list. If I hear them again, I'll use 1 four different kinds of auto horns" Mrs. Kyler-"People such as you ] are a menace to good music. Those i boys sang with tenderness and feel 1 ing that lifted one above this sphere
 Maddern-"Es Especially the hingy
 squeak of Alfred, the handsome 1 waiter
 Mrs. Arugue-"Please don't recall l their awful efforts. Mir Maddern." l Mrs. Kyler-"Pooh! You don't know 1 harmony from the rattle of break ! fast dishes. Those college boys fur 1 nish a wonderful example of vOca | skill
 l Mrs. Artigue-"My dear woman ] you have no reason to believe that ! Alfred is really a college boy"
