| wonder what she is doing? | suppose he keeps her
supplied with those red she likes much. They
go right we'll with her dusly hair used to send them
to her all the time. The devil take him! Not that
at all; but can't say admire her taste. Watt
is foo but women always taken with handsome
face, and he is the kind that gets them every time.
Next to round collar there nothing like dark face
lit with pair of bluegray eyes with long ashes and
smile that they think means them alone
suppose she thinks that smile smiled for any
else! could tell her; but l won't: I'm not that
kind. play fair, whatever others may do.

They all alike, guess.
This place is about played out 1t is deadly dull and
I'm through with it, guess I'll run over to New York
and what's doing at the Foies. Not that l care
for New York-dirty, torn up place,-but the sail on
those outside boats isn't SO bad and there's chance
of running people you don't want to sup
pose she is yachting,-she always is about now,-and
of course he is on board. l never liked yachtng-too
monotonous should think people would get tired of
smile all the time
TRIPLE PLATE July II.
/ LEFT Marblehead this morning, and am going on to
New York tonight. 1t is hot and muggy in town.
No one around anyway. Don't know what to do
Guess I'll go to the library and look up the
Prophets. Nice gloomy old fellows-havent them
for sometime Beasty climbing all those stairs though
and why did they tuck them off in corner' On the
whole, I'll stroll slowly across the Gardens and out
Brilnmer street-we used to go to vespers that way
last winter Oh, hang it, no-I don't want to do that.
I'll take hanson and cool off.

/ HAD the man leave at Charles River Park, and
was looking over the water when heard my name.
Now how could she be there? But she She said
she had just come from the church and going to
walk home along Beacon street. | asked her if she
wouldn't to the hotel and have tea with me-
and she said she would We went through the gardens
How fresh everything looks,lots Of flowers and birds
and things, and the fountains all plaving The tearoom
dark and cool, and the tea delicious. We had
pate sandwiches, with an ice afterward She

she said she trimmed herself. She said she had been
enjoying herself very much this last month (conound

been off yachting with large party, having bully
time. She asked why had come back to the hot city,
and said was here only few hours, having
gagement in New York. We talked for an hour two,

able to postpone my engagement would call up
Long Distance and try. She laughed. | did not like
that laugh. walked home with her, and went in for
few minutes. She did not say word about Watt all
this timeand of course didn't. 1t is certainly up
her to tell me Of the engagement!
But when got back to the Triple Plate it came
me what fool was-and made up my mind to know
how things stood. Not that care; but there is

friends. So called her up This the conversation:
"Oh how do you do again? I've just remembered
forgot to ask you how Watt is
A laugh. "Oh, you did, did you?'
"Yes-you might well tell me first as last
"Tell you wllat?'
"Oh now--congratuations of course How is
Waltz
"I'm afraid can't tell you."
"What do you mean?'
ooh, he's well, hope; but you tel-no
