MARYE and 'MOM'
a -
THEIR LETTERS

Dear Mom-After my last out
burst, which must have stunned you
somewhat, I am sure you will be re-
lieved to have me be my frivolous
self.
I think, possibly, that seeing SO
many people every day, and finding
myself with women who have such
decided opinions on everything are
making a changed woman out of
me.
Jane and I both have made good
as models. Jane is more excited
about business all the time, and she
is making her plans to get one of
the best designers here for her own
shop. Before she open it, she will
go to Paris to select the fittings for
her shop and to bring back some
French seamstresseS.
She wants me to go into busi-
ness with her-I even can come
in without any capital, since her
father is quite willing to finance it
for her, and I am seriously con-
sidering it. For I find that life
passes much more pleasantly for me
when am busy, and there il a fas-
cination in business that 1 readily
respond to.
But whether I want to devote the
rest of my life to clothes or not,
don't know. At any rate, plan to
stay here a few weeks longer.
You may be pleased to know that
I have beeen formally introduced
to the handsome man with the eye
brows that don't match. He bears
the prosaic name of Shelton-Wl-
liam J., I believe.
When he found that did not re-
spond to his f1irtation-and appar-
entity he did not realize that it was
lack of time rather than disinclina-
ton that caused me to pass him by
with such a duchess air, he set
about to be introduced properly.
1t seems he knows Nine. Elise very
well, so he just asked her to present
him, which she did. And then when
he invited me to luncheon it seemed
perfectly proper for me to accept.
This I did, and tomorrow we dine
in state.
His excuse for wanting to know
me is that I resemble some dear
but departed friend of his, and he
feels that I can not look so much
like her without having a DISPOSE
ton and character similar to hers,
and he needs must know me better.
1t may be a mere excuse, but a
rather interesting one, I think, and
I have a theory Of my own-that
men with that peculiar trick Of op-
Grating their eyebrows so differently
must have some corresponding quirk
of temperament. feel ought to
investigate that hunch, now that the
material is right here waiting to
put under my microscope.
Therefore, our acquaintance starts
out on highly scientific and COM
mendable basis.
