HER LINE OF TALK

She sat directly back of me at the movies," related the girl who likes to talk, and I realized she was there be- cause she was jingling and rattling constantly some silver dewdads. More over, she was. the sort of individual whose presence you would be forced to recognize anywhere, because she pos sessed personality of its kind. Hear ing the silver rattle, I put her down as young and restless. She was en- gagged in that ancient occupation of fascinating and hypnotizing the young man with her, and she kept it up. with no intermission.
 You're so funny" she said. The way you act with me! Why, you act as if I was a perfectly brand new speciment, something you didn't un- derstand! You don't understand me at all, do you?' she ended in huge sat isfaction. There were indistinct mur- murs from the young man.
 "'well,' she went on, so few people do understand me! It's so funny, be- cause Pm no different from the aver age grill They act as though l was deeper, or something the way you do! Honestly, I'm not a bit mys- terious! My own family act that way, too. Mother says so many times that she just can't understand me.
 when l SOInOInllS she doesn't expect. Like the time l came down to breakfast with three girls I'd ask to stay all night and she didn't know 1t and the cook had left and we were just having scraps and there wasn't any cream. Mother said
 "Oh, what did it say just before they flashed the last picture? Good ness, has the heroine got married while wasn't noticing? Isn't her hair per fectly dear? Do you think l could wear mine that way? No, honestly, now! I wasn't fishing for compliments! We'll, I can stand those extreme styles there is something about me that makes them look all right, something little cd and different. Haven't you noticed it? I think it's worse than being conceited for one not to recog- nize frankly such things about her self. I always have the courage of my convictions. Oh, do you know, I've got myself in the worst scrape!'
 a little odd and different. Haven't you man. His voice was overwhelmed, either by fear or admiration.
 Its perfectly ridiculous!" thrilled on the young person with the jingling sil- yer. You know Arthur Boyt-wen, you'oe at least heard of him. Why he was captain of his team and won automobiles and he is terribly hand somel At least most of the girls rave over him, though I never could see that he was so marvellous!
 Perhaps that's the reason he likes me, because his attentions don't iatter me! He raised the worst fuss be- cause I didn't answer all his letters last term. I don't see why men have to be so particular With all the girls writing to him that do what difference could my letters make? Yet to hear him talk you'd think-weli, to quiet him down I told him that if he'd write twice a week I'd answer his letters.
 "I thought that the prospect would scare him of. because men hate to write letters. What do you think? He hasn't even waited for me to get back to school. but he wrote me the next day and three days later got another from him! Isn't that perfectly ridic- ulous! I suppose he thought I real ly meant it! Yes. I've let myself in for a lot of trouble, I'm afraid!'
 Then indistinct growls from the young man escort" said the girl who likes to talk. Evidently Arthur Boyt was on his blacklist.
 "'Oh, you mustn't say that!' re- proved the young person, delightedly That's dreadful of you! I think he is very fine young man and mother likes him. too. I don't see why you should call him conceited and say he
