CONFESSIONS
OF A BRIDE
Copyright, 1897
leOpyrieht, 1Ssa.)

What do you Think asked
Daddy Lorimer Of no one In par
ticular, IS the family SAT on the
lawn about the coffee urn. one eve
ming after dinner. "Arnstine Is 60
ing to open an elegant new smok-
ing room for women in his theaier
next fall" Daddy surveyed crit
ically a fresh box Of cigars the
butler had just opened for him.
81 heard Arnstine telling about It
today. He said the women smok-
ed all over the place Last year
In the lobby, the wash room, the
check room, and the foyer. No
smoking signs never hindered 'em!
So he's going to make his new
smoking room for women espe-
cially attractive. Decorations will
cost him $4,000! l suppose Chrys
and Ann will find a theater smok-
ing room a great convenience. But
! can pick one little girl that will
never sec the inside Of IT."
Daddy smiled upon me most ap-
provingly. blnshed furously. l
knew that ought to confess i'm
medtateiy, but II l did, I'd spoil
the grand surprise l had planned
for Bob's vacation.
Ann giggled. That settled t.
Il can smoke, daddy! I've Just
learned! Ann says do Il beauh-
fully"
Iheard mothers astonbhed pro-
test:
why, JAMIE dear!"
Then daddy challenged me:
bet you can't! Let's see you!"
"Now, father!" exclaimed Bob.
All she's waiting for Is your en-
couragement!'
Don't pay any attention to Dad
Hes only joktng!"
Really, he doesn't want to see
you smoke!" 4
The babel Of voices helped me
out Of my difficulty. Virtue, It ap-
peared, was strongly boHtsred up
by all the sinners! So shook my
head at daddy.
The next time he passed me, In
his slow atter-dinner promenade,
daddy paused long enough to
touzzle my nair. It Is his iayurite
way OF teasing me, as the family
well knows. ] don't mind Il except
when we have guests.
