CHAPTER NNI.
Thinking II Over.

In thinking il over afterward Rosa :
lind was both amused and irritated.
She was amused because everything
had turned out so differently from
what she had expected. A man had
asked to meet her, and instead Of
flirting with her he had read her a
curtain lecture. She had expected him
to be bowled over by her charm
that she would have To he very care
full in handling him, and instead he
had been merely courteous. Al the
end he had put her into taxi. paid
the driver. and lid goodnight.
She was irritated beca ause she had al
lowed herself To talk so foolishly. Al
Ian Norris had laughed at her. not
that she cared pa rticularly. because
he was not the kind of man she could
like She no longer distrusted him
as she had in the first place. hut did
nor like him. He did not fulfill in any
way her ideal. He WAS not interesting.
But she hated the idea Of any one
laughing At her. and. woma n like. she
wondered why she had failed to make
an impression on the man. He evi-
IDENTIFY thought her silly little fool.
lie had not even asked TO see her
again.
In spite of her egotiSm, RoSalind
had a sense of humor She could laugh
herself even though she hated TO
he laughed at. and she could not help
smiling TO herself whenever she re-
membered her first impression of Al
Ian Norris. She had been terrified
to meet him: she had thought him IA
double-dyed villain. and she had AL
lowed the introduction to take place
only because she was afraid of losing
her job. And like all the others he

HOW 1T STARTED
Shamrock for Ireland.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

We are all familiar with the three
leaf clover Of bright green which is
called the shamrock. and which is uni
versally regarded and accepted the
national emblem of Ireland. Yet few
of us who accept it so as a matter of
course would be able to tell the cir
cumstances which have taken the
little trefoil from it's bed in the wood
and made it the symbol of a nation.
In the derivation of the word itself
we find the lead to the story of the
origin of the shamrock as the national
badge OF Ireland.
shamrock" is derived from the
Irish ''seamrog," diminutive of
"seamer," meaning trefoil, the three
leaf clover. And it is said to be from
the circumstance that st. Patrick, the
patron saint of the Irish people, made
use of this clover to illustrate the
doctrine of the Trinity that this came
to be adopted as the national emblem.

Madeline was aware of the fact that

that he cared too deeply for Rose to

This fact puzzled her. She could not
understand it. and although she did
not admit ii the knowledge was a
blow 10 her egotism. She would have
preferred him at her feet where she

she determined To waste no time in

to give her chance to show wha
she could do with a song act.
