Short STORY.
HIS OPINION.
By NAPOLEON 8. zARICK

As Miss Carman walked down the ave.
nue., she held her skirts above her dain-
ty patent feathers. and her head, with
it's jaunty hat, was held higher still,
the color flaming high, too, in her round
cheeks and showing on charmingly
against the background of her chinchilla
collar-which in itself was a marvel Of
height and elegance as well. The rus
tie of her skirts, and the defiant. nod
in her voice.
II shall resign from the club-that's 8
all-and, what's more, I'll resign from
every club I belong to! A woman's club
huh! A cats club would be a bet
ter name! Nothing on earth would in
duce me to stay another day in the
hateful thing, and I'll resign as soon
as can reach pen and ink to do 1t
with. Every one of them is in league
to see the whole thing fail because I've
put my very heart and soul in It to
make it go. Well, they'll be IN pretty
mess when I give it all up! There's not
as I have, and the club will ali 60 to
pieces If this entertainment doesn't go
through. I don't care-Id be too glad

She had overtaken a boy Of seven

anger could not efrace her interest in
youngsters, and especially in a boy who
scuffed his feet SO attractively and who
could balance a curved stick so cleverly
when he was not rattling it against the
fences he passed.
He was walking in a leisurely way that
indicated ease of mind and plenty of
time to get home before dinner. As she
neared him, the stick wavered and fell
back. but was quickly caught.

said. and smiled. Then an Irresistible
