by precincts on screens; and when, as
often occurred, he was greeted effu-

he would answer perfunctOrily and

another. "She thanked me so for in
PRODUCING you she thinks you're won
derful. She really does, Alice; thats
what she told me!'
Now how could any normal girl fail
to be pleased with a remark like that!
Alice's feeling Of admiration for Betty
naturally deepened Immediately. Every.
body that she knew either admired
Betty almost to the point Of adora-
tion or else had great contempt for
her. Alice couldn't understand the con.
temptuous ones. She thought they must
be jealous. For Betty was perfectly
fascinating.
She is one Of those girls who give the
impression, simply by their indifferent,
self confident manner, that they are
hard to know. Any one who is fortu-
nate enough to be numbered among their
friends is open to congratulation. Yet
Betty was not snippy; she was not pa
tronizing. She was little hard to know
at first, but, once acquainted with,
was not in the least supercilious.
She asked Alice to come see her, and
Alice went. almost gratefully. She came
away admiring Betty more than ever.
II seemed impertincnt to be fond OF
Betty. Then Betty gave a small party
rnd Alice was invited to that. Whenever
they met Betty would compliment Alice
in some way or other, and Alice would
beam delightedly.
Then they arranged to meet at lunch

the idea, arrived mt the meeting place
exactly on time. Betty had not come

had made n mistake in the place. She
was certain that she was right, though,
for they had repeated 1t several times

CHE waited for an hour. The truth
owas dawning upon her slowly. but
she refused to believe it, Something
must have happened to Betty. She
called up her house, but Betty was out.
She had gone out right after lunch, her
mother said. After lunch-then she
hadn't even tried to get there on time.
That evening Alice called up again.
but Betty was out. There was no further
word from her for several days, and then
she and Alice met at another girls
house. "Oh, my dear, did you wait for
me all that time J" she exclaimed. How
screamingly funny! Why nobody ever
waits that long for me. They all know
that IL I'm not there after fifteen min
utes I've forgotten or something. It's
just a whim that strikes me. guess,
and forget all about it. You'll just
have to get used to me! !" And she
laughed carelessly.
Alice laughed, too. but she was laugh
ing at herself-laughing at her wonder
Of the people who felt only contempt for
Betty. She understood now. Betty was
one of those whimsical people who
are proud of the fact. The friendship
that had started so enthusiastically end.
