THE other evening. on a Fifth ave
1 nue. bus, I happened to be an
unwilling witness OF a tragic comedy
that might have been called: How
to Lose a Beau"
The heroine OF the comedy was very
pretty in a frail. paIlid sort OF way
her too white skin suggested a
gardenia, or a white hyaeinth. it was
so smooth and fine. so utterly de-
void Of color. She was very smart
and modish. and her eyes were well
worth a second look.
But alaclz and alas, the moment
she opened her mouth, the Illusion
vanished. For she belonged TO what
might be called the I SEE" school
Of cOnversationalists and she grated
on the ear like a file.
The young man. with her was Of
the nervous highly stroung American
type whose clothes suggested good
care rather than quality. You would
have picked him for a winner, the
length OF a city block The sort OF
young man who is taken into the
firm at SIS week and climbs
steadily. He was proud Of the girl.
he enjoyed the little. stir her ap-
pearance caused when they entered
the bus.
her clothes which some unerring in
stinct OF taste had made her select
most happily.
But her good taste stopped with
her clothes. No one had ever told
her that "a low sweet voice is an
excellent thing in woman" Hers was
off the bargain counter and II was
hardly worth taking home.
Too Well Raised.
She began her monologue with:
It's fierce the way she nags. When
I took that room I was TO have the
privilege Of getting my meals in the
kitchen-paying extra for the gas,
OF course. She SEE I left my dishes
in tn sink an I was 10 wash 'um and

cess in exile. clad in the daintiest

and wondered what wicked fairy had
been present at her birth and cursed
her with such a voice. such an accent
and the extra burden Of: Il seq"
Now, it was perfectly apparent TO
anyone who glanced at the young
mans perturbed forehead that he did
not care for that 'line OF talk" It
did not fit into the picture. such
radiant vision OF delicacy and white
ness oughtn't to be talking OF kitchen
sinks and unwashed cups.
A short story moon was shining
in the heavens. L was a night made
for lovers and midsummer madness.
and here was the prettiest girl chat

Of the long French windows and stood

were clasped behind him. and she

Yet the thought of marrying him
left her cold.
And as she unused she determined
suddenly 10 speak frankly TO this from
taking her about and doing man Her
vanity was flattered, yet she would
not play with him any longer. She
had had the satisfaction Of hearing
his declaration of affection She did
not want the bother OF having him

SO II was that when HonOra Brent
and Mrs. Higgins returned from
church, they found Arthur Bruce and
Mildred discussing the football games
to be played by the various colleges
during the fall months.
The older sister decided that she
had been mistaken in thinking that
Arthur was going TO declare his love
to Mildred this evening. Matters were
evidently just where they were last
evening
She was conscious OF a sensation
Of relief II was almost as IL
reprieve had been granted her.
She hated herself for this feeling.
She was silent while the other talked
She was trying to persuade herself
that she only imagined she felt re-
lieved.
If Arthur loved Nildred.-and Of
course he did,-and If Mildred cared
even little for Arthur.-and Of
course she must,-they would surely
become engaged later. II they were
not betrothed now. that only meant
that the day had been postponed. It

said. It am awfullv interested in

Hilton was telling me a lot about
them yesterday. "Oh." with a sigh,
''he is q dandy chaD-"
Honora regretted this speech. It
was tact1ess and made her sorry for

Yet surely Mildred did not mean IT
