THE BOOK OF ANN Why Can't Ann Be Satisfied With What She Has2 Ann Gets a View of the Lorimers' Part In Society

Part In Society
 Ann behaved pretty well all next day, although she paraded her cigarets before Daddy Lorimer; that was a mistake. but one of which l never thought to warn her. Women smoke openly everywhere, nowadays, and most men approve of it, in women or other clans. Daddy doesn't mind it at all when he sees a society woman smoking with artistic smartness. In fact, I've seen him light a cigarette for more than one pretty girl, but never, oh never, for a L.orimer woman,
 It was comfort to put in peace full day with Ann. But I think that hereafter I will distrust such calm as probably foretelling a tempest.
 At least this one did. However, l discovered that Ann could be very likeable if she wanted to be, and I re- solved not to betray her indiscretions to my husband. I'd try to be a real sister. I wouldn't let the brother criticize her.
 Finding her likeable, I wondered why Ann couldn't be satisfied with what she had-with her handsome Jim-and the Lorimer connections-and the Lor- inner wealth Why couldn't she con- form-and settle down-in the good old ways She had everything, from my point of view, but looking at life as, lots of girls see it, realized that Ann didn't think she had every thing unless she basked eternally in ! the admiration of many men. She had the show girl idea of what makes life worth while. She was crazy about her beauty-crazier about things to adorn it, and craziest of all about men to be- | hold it. She didn't really love dainti- ness and art for themselves. When it came to personal grooming, she took none too much pains. She considered ! 4= 1x- man beautifully dressed. That was her one silly reason for spending SC much time with him, felt sure.
 Next morning Chrys and I were planning new beds in the LorimeI gardens, when we saw Ann starting out for a ride accompanied by Brooks | the head groom.
 Ann made a very smart picture in | her brooches and coat, and her stiff little hat with rubber band under her chin. We commented on her with genuine approval and waved sisterly farewell as she passed by I knew 1 it pleased her greatly to trail a groom when she rode out, and therefore I was l thoroughly surprised to see Brooks coming back along inside of half ar hour. His very attitude besjoke his | protest
 Brooks, where is Mrs. Lorimer?"
 'Tn the broad boulevard, Miss LOT l inner. Bound tor-tor White Point. left her at her own request, Miss Tor l imer."
 Chrys started to ask another ques- | tion, then checked herself
 ''Very well, Brooks" she said, and the man departed. As soon as he was out of hearing, Chrys turned to me.
 Now she's done itl'
 'I guess she has. this time" agreed.
 Why, oh why, did Jim. IT, add that girl to our burdens,' Chrys groaned
 He didn't. Ann added herself" volunteered.
 She's as stubborn as a peacock. Chrys continued. She'll never stoT running around with Ives, not of he1 own volition. She doesn't care a thinl about the man either.
