experience in the crowd.
Are you fond of sea food" DR..
Petit demanded abruptly after we
had walked almost a block south
from the garden.
Love it," 1 responded promptly.
We'll, then" he returne /, Il

down here. It's the eldest chop and
oyster house in New York rather
shady neighborhood, but perfectly
respectable itself, and they serve
the best Holsters, crabs and oysters
you can ind in New York"
Then lead me to it, 1 said, with
a reckless quoting of one Of Dicky'7
favorite slang phrases. I felt rather
than saw DR. Pettit's quickly re-
pressed look of surprise at my words.

self upon my avoidance of slang. But
in the reckless mood that had seized
me I did not much care what any

to take the prescription without
making a face?" I wondered a little
what lay behind his words, but after
his kindness 1 was in no position to
disagree with him.

I said gayly.
Good" he returned. Then
prescribe one square meal at a good
restaurant, to be taken as soon as
we can find a taxi"
Come Along Then"
"Oh, but I'm not dressed for a
restaurant" I protested, knowing as
1 did so that the age-wOrn feminine
excuse" was not my real objection.
1 am not particularly prudish, but
I did ut exactly fancy the idea Of
dining Z. GeuX with DR.. Petit.
"You promised not even to
wrinkle your nose" he began ban
teringly. Then his manner changed
and he gave me a long, questioning
look. "Of course, if you really wish
not to dine with me-" he said grave
", that is another thing"
7 knew that I had hurt him, and
with the knowledge a mood of de-
fance seized me. After all, it was
only on Dicky's account that 1 had
Eesitated about dining with the
young physician-DiclSy, who GER
tainly had been anything but con-
siderate of me during the last few
hours.
I felt reckless, careless of cOnse-
quences. I turned 10 him with a
little excited laugh.
Don't be silly" ! said, and 1 pur-
posely made my tone as friendly as
/ could, II shall be delighted to take
your prescription; in fact, I think it
a most charming one"
He caught me by the hand AMI
drew me TO my feet boyishly, as if a
sudden weight Of care had fallen
from him.
Come along then" he said.
Have you any choice as 10 res
taurants; do you want one with
music or without"
I'll let you discover that for
yourself" I replied mischievously.

"Iu just take you on that" he
replied. and then We walked in
silence out Of the building and into
the crowd outside. which was rapid
" dispensing
But in no direction could an
empty taxicab be seen. When DR..
Petit had assured himself Of this
fact he turned 10 me ruefully.
I'm afraid there isn't a taxi 20

There were scores OF prOmenad-

them many American soldiers and
British colonial men on leave, but
such revelry as developed was of
the most subdued order. The Am

time occupied by the speech of the
president of the United States as
one Of the most miserable hours in
my life.
And all because a passing band iu
a political parade chose to play the
RED, White and Blue" as the pres
ident began TO talk.
The crashing strains burst into
the hall Just after the orator hac
succeeded in getting the crowd to
cease yelling for him, and began
listening to him. For a few moments
he was unable to make his voice
heard at all, and by the time the
band had passed, and he had re-
sumed his effort, my thoughts were
so far away that the rest Of the
speech, for which I had waited 50
patiently, might have been Greek for
all I heard of it.
For the notes Of the Red, White
and Blue" will always be associated
in my mind with one of the tender
est memories a woman can have,
the remem brance OF the first kiss
from the lips of the man who aft
erward becomes her husband.

vision of the wonderful dipping flags,
