Elinor was one of those sweet
little girls-frilly and rufiy
And all of the other girls in the
crowd had been forced to a back
seat when Elinor appeared on the
scene, because. Elinor had a different
way.
Before she had known any Of the
boys two weeks she was calling them
by their given names and had in
vented queer little nicknames for
some OF them.
And the thousand and one little
tricks, her way of patting a mascu-
line shoulder as she passed or drop
ping down for a second on the arm
of one of the boys chairs-it was
all so different-it took the mascu-
line half of the set by storm, they
liked il; while the feminine half was
openly rebellious and would have
liked to put Einor on the first train
leaving for the wlds.

tie nothings. which fattered and en-

girls sat around and felt as if their
hands were too big and their voices
too harsh.
Elinor wasn't discriminating. She
was the soul of generosity. She
stared alike at all of the girls beaux
as though she owned them. She
cooed to them instead Of talking to
them. And somehow contrived to
have each one thinking that he was
the particular person for whom all
of her charm was being spent
And then one day Elinor dipped
into her little vanity case and res
cued the little diamond ring, slipped
it back on her finger and rushed out
home to marry the man who had
been waiting for her
And the boys who had been thrill
ed over Elinor's esctatic phrases and
motions, were breathless. they were
hurt and felt as il they had been too
rudely awakened and Elinor sud
denly hadn't friend among them.
While the girls laughed a little
then felt sorry for the man-who-had-
been-waiting, and climbed down
from their back seats!
