ton, don't attempt to make love to
her in the penitential season. But
you may start in again bright and
early Easter morning. Also, don't make
love to her just after she has decided
upon her career She'll get over that
in time, but you must let the malady
run its course"
81 suppose these times you have
been telling me about are just excep-
lions to the ruler
1.-THE exceptions which prove the
rule, you mean," she corrected. "A
girl enjoys being made love to, but
her moods are never to be depended
on"
Except on st. Valentines day." he
put in.
Except on St. Valentines day." she
echoed, gazing sentimentally at the
valentine. Such a beautiful senti-
ment-
"'AI day long, sweet Valentine,
l sing to tell this love of mine;
Accept this heart, token, dear,
OF love that lives from year to year. "
Rubbish" pronounced the floor
walker. And you mean to tell me
that that is the kind of stuff girls
like?"
why not?" she asked, with a touch
of defiance. Its not so much the

Thought, fiddlesticks! Probably
came from some kind of vapid mind
that never knew any real thoughts.
Why, don't you know what this kind
of stuff is WORTH"
How should l know?" flippantly. 81
don't run magazine"
He paid no attention to this remark,
continuing his discourse as if moth
ing had happened. Its nothing but
conventional rubbish, and doesn't
mean any more than the things a
young fellow is expected to say and
does say between the dances. 1t
doesn't mean any more than what a
| man says under the influence Of
music and moonlight, or, for that mat
ter, any more than what girl insinu-
| ates with her eyes when she knows
she is looking particularly well. It's
bred in the bone to be foolish and sen.
timental at certain stages of the game.
and we just can't help it."
81 think you are perfectly horrible"
she murmured, her eyes still on the
valentine. Don't people ever mean
| what they say?"
Yes, but even after he has pro-
posed you mustn't expect him to keep
to the same state of ardent wooing
all the time. Before you are married
he will tell you that when you dance
you are as light as a feather, but aft
erward he will tell you that you are
like ton of coal He will swear that
your every wish shall be his, and you
will find the cold reality to be the
necessity of cringing to him. For
awhile nothing will be too good for
you, and then you will suddenly wake
up to the fact that ne is the head
of the house, and that you are merely
part of the furniture, as it were. /

any particular attention to these val
