Remark Hard to Explain.

Everyone had gathered in the draw
ing room after dinner, and all were
feeling contented with themselves as
well as at peace with the outside
world. when it was suggested as a pas
time that every lady should state the
gift she most coveted. and the posses
sion Of which she would most prize.
With prompt acQuiescence each regis
tered her choice. Mrs. Wellman wished
for the most exquisite jewels extant,
Mrs. King desired to be the best
dressed woman in society, Mrs. Dray-
ton preferred to own the handsomest
turnouts, while Mrs. Smith craved
popularity. Robinson, springing from
his chair, exclaimed: Heavens, don't
any of you care for beauty?" Some OF
them still think It was intentional.
