as she conf1ded to me was, that -
was to have called her up that morning
to tell her where to meet him in town for
lunch and he had not--in fact, she had
not seen -- for several days and
was bit doubtful as to whether he still
intended to have that lunch party or had
entirely forgotten about 1t. The funny
part of 1t all was that she decided to go
anyhow, even If she was not sure. The
wild goose chases these young things go
on! Usually when one takes a train one
knows where one is going. In this case,
however. that was not to be. Town was
all she knew, and town it was. Here's
to hoping that the young delinquent
turned up somewhere to meet her,
wherever it was and that it all ended in a
delicious tete-a-tete. She looked awfully
cute in her new suit and quite one of the
best looking hats I have seen for many

rather undignified thing would she have
been pleased? Somehow 1 doubt it.
