Win much emphasis.
There were very few persons in the
boxes though the orchestra was we'll
laDed with every one you know. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Thayer and Mr.. and Mrs.
Tom Ridgway and Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Edmonds were in one box and Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall Scull nearby in another.
Mrs. Scull was wearing q smart frock
q green opalescents and looked remark
ably well. Mrs. Thayer was very charm
lng In pale blue satin and lace.
Every one is wondering which one he

there are two girls who made their de-

violet, the other a blushing rose. How

these two glrlies. The violet is rather fair
and shy and quiet, pretty as can be in
fragile sort of way. The rose is quite
dark, with brilliant coloring. vivaclous,
laxative and pretty also, in a bright
way.
certain young man of this old
Quaker town is a great friend of both
girls, and seems very much taken with
them. The violet listens fiatteringly
to the accounts of his various exploits,
while the rose talks to him of hers.

It Is very excellent to know that con.

Is not always pleasant to converse with
some one who has very little to say;
and again 1t is often tlresome to listen
TO chatterbox, so, you see. there are
fors and "agins" for both; strangest of
all is that they are such great chums.
Eomehow think the young man leans
slightly more toward the violet, for,
perhaps, he is a wise man and realizes
that persons are apt to become gar
rulous as they advance in years, and,
perhaps. the rose might talk too much.
Eh! bien, nous verrons!
