CHAPTER ELEVEN

The shaded lights, the low hum
of conversation from the surround
ing tables, the foreign flavor of
the street outside the hotel WIN
dows all seemed part of the
scene Raoul Castalu and Sheila
were playing.
This was the kind of romance
she had craved Delicately ex-
pressed, sophisticated. But it had
come so suddenly she felt afraid.
All the native caution she had
not realized she possessed warned
her not to go too fast. Not to let
this fascinating Argentine sweep
her from her feet.
There was in her own startled
and confused heart no doubt of
her own emotions but how did
she know he was not playing a
game?
AS if she had expressed these
doubts Raoul said softly, You do
not understand the men of my
country, Miss Clayton. You are
frightened"
Sheila replied honestly. Not
frightened exactly. It's just that
everything is happening too rap
idly"
viii Come True
Il understand" he smiled. But
later when you know me better
you will find that everything
have promised will come true"
Taking his cue from her re-
luctance which he had perceived
with such uncanny intuition Roaul
continued, Il was going to ask
you to dine with me tonight. But
perhaps you would rather wait I'M
til you have had chance to think
it over"
why should I think it over
Sheila asked feeling all her cour-
age return. Il have no other en-
gagement this evening and Il
should very much like to dine with
you"
He took her to a cafe where the
food was delicious and there was
no music. The small groups of
people with their soft easy laugh
ter and slow graceful movements
were restful and relaxing.
The tension she had felt with
Raoul in the beginning disap-
peared. He was the most natural
person she had ever known and
the most delightful. They talked
now like old friends and after din
ner he took her for ride out the
Avenida Alvear pointing out vari-
Gus monuments and public build
ings.
Tomorrow. he said matter-of-
factly. Il am going to show you
our subway. 1t is very unlike
yours in New York"

III . man whom q girl doesn't
know very well. or like enough to
b interested in everything he says,
telephones her to ask. May / see
you Thursday EVENING" how can
she tell him that she'd like to be
taken out somewhere and not just
sit home and talk? The letter
from which this is quoted, con-
tinues:
I'm the example I have in mind,
this mans idea of a pleasant eve
ming is a prolonged one.sided con-
versation about himself. The Sec
ond time he called | thought he
had surely told me his whole life's
history and that we'd go to a
movie. But again we stayed in.
The best suggestion for entertain
ment he could make was to play
double solitaire. How can I avoid
having this happen third time,
short Of not seeing the man at all +?
I don't think It would be very
polite to ask him when he tele-
phones, What are we going to
do?' and then after that say I
can't see him If l don't like his
suggestion. Or can II"
In reply to this, l myself would
like to ask why do you want to
see the man at all? Why you are
willing to spend another minute,
let alone a whole evening, with
any one who so evidently bores
you, can't imagine. But at least
I can suggest. when he again asks
II he may come to see you. that
instead of replying, "oh yes in

frankly, 1.-The Star Cast is at the

we'd just talk" you can say.
Sorry! But Thursday is the only
evening can see the picture. But
If you don't want to see it that's
all right, I can go with some girls
who are going" In other words, the
worldly fact is that 1t is very wise
to try to please man you like
still more. the man you love-but
very senseless to encourage the at
tentions of a bore.
Introducing . Young Doctor
Dear Mrs. Post: I've been told
that a NJ. D. should always be in
troduced as DR.. Jones. Does this
mean that even to ones intimate
friends. an intimate friend who is
a doctor should be introduced this
way7 II hardly sounds natural.
Answer: You introduce him as
Dr. Jones exactly as you introduce
any other friend as Mr.. II you
would say. Mary. this is Tom
Smith," you would introduce the
doctor, Mary, this is David
Jones'" In the case of a clergy
man, we usually stretch the point
Of ordinary practice and introduce
him with title, even TO our intimate
friends.
