PERSONALITIES.
There was a big crowd at Mildred's
houses or 10 girls and boys.
Vivian had just arrived from out OF
town. Shed been visiting some friends
of Mildred who lived in Cleveland and
was bursting with news.
The party had settled down in front
Of the fire, smoking and talking. Mil
dred. bright, amusing person and an
excellent hostess. threw out conversa-
tional line to vi. who was rather out
of the picture with so many strangers.
Did you have a good trip?" she asked.
vi seized at the line got a tight hold,
and held fast for the rest Of the eve
ming. Did l." she shrilled. MY dear.
do YOU remember Bob Evans? The tall
one with the dark. wavy hair? Well,
he simply rushed me of my feet. l
had the most perfect time In the world.
And you remember that funny little
Kitty Grayson? oh, of course you do
she used to wear her hair So" Imi-
tation of Kitty's style Of hair dress fol-
lowed.
Silence meanwhile from the other
guests. Polite, attentive silence. For
Nil was the hostess. vi was her guest
and the rest of the party were nice
young people.
Dick essayed new topic Of con-
versation when Vivian had finished with
Kitty Grayson once and for all
"Darned good show we saw last night"
he offered. Il thing that felpw. Law
renee. Is writing the best stun in New
York right now"
Vivian gave en- excited little scream:
simply must tell you-the most fantastic
thing His speaking of Lawrence just
reminded me. You do remember
Tommy Lawrence, don't you? Sort of
tall. and awfully romantic looking
Well. honestly. he Is the limit. ! simply
can't tell you the number Of times I've
had to refuse him this Summer"
And another long monologue by the
visiting lady followed--the rest of the
company did its best--they smiled
vaguely. they laughed at the right
places, they endeavored to start on a
separate conversation by themselves
But in vain Wis high, shrill notes cut
across their speech like whip: My
dear do you remember"
That particular little fault isn't un-
common. Girls often pull an act like
that unconscious of the bad effect they
played.
To hold forth on any topic of conver-
sation in which the rest OF the party
cannot take an intelligent interest is
In decidedly bad taste.
As a gucSt-and stranger It was
Wis business TO sit tight until she be-
came well enough acquainted with the
other young people TO venture on some
topic of mutual interest.
1t was objectionable OF her to In
trude on q pleasant conversation with
her patter Of strange people and places.
It is always unwise TO discuss per-
sonaiities unless it be with few inti-
mate friends TO whom the people under
discussion are well known.
Think 1t over Have you ever sinned
In this way? I'll bet you have
And, III bet, too. that in so doing
you've made bad impression with
somebody.
II you don't know when TO introduce
personalities as a topic OF discussion,
cut them out OF your line entirely.

made me promise TO go with her the
following night. Then, as promised. she
appeared again in my sleep, and We
were whirled away by dark steeds to
wondrous palace.
l was now, in my dreams, a hand
some knight. SO real were these ex-
periences that / came to believe my
dreams were life and my daily waking
life a monotonouS dream.
Clarimonde's health seemingly begun
10 fail, and she grew paler day by day.
Until one morning as / breAkfaSted
with her, / cut my finger deeply. Blood
came in scarlet streams. and the eyes
of Clarimonde frightened. She put her
mouth to the wound and sucked the
blood as though she enjoyed 1t. as
though 1t were some rare winel When
she rose this terrible though beautiful
woman had new color in her cheeks.
My blood had revived her.
This frightened me, especially when
caught her mixing potion In my cup

but feigned deep sleep. She produced
needle. pricked my arm, and sucked
the blood therefrom,
I could no longer doubt the nature
of this devil-woman. Yet I could not
help loving her. and / would willingly
have given her all the blood in my veins
If it would keep her alive and full of
color.
Finally. had to tell some one in my
waking life, whether 1t was dream or
no. The friend TO whom confided this
terrible tale said there was only one
cure for me. That was to dig up the
body OF the courtezan Clarimonde and
let me see for myself that she was dead
and that her body was fallen into dust,
So at midnight We set out searching
among the tombs till We found one en-
graved: Here lies Clarimonde, the most
beautiful woman in the world"
My friend put down the lantern and
set TO work with crowbar. The tomb
stone was lifted and he set TO work with
q pick. striking finally upon the coffin
lid. This was raised, and there was
Clarimonde. but as We lifted her she
crumbled into dust.
But the next night saw Clarimonde.
"Wretched man." she cried, what
hast thou done? Why hast thou hark-
ened to foolish counsel? Vert thou not
happy? Or what i'll had done thee
that thou must violate my tomb? Hence
forth is the link between our souls
broken. Farewell! Thou shalt long for
