AROUND THE CITY By Nannie Lancaster- come and stylish and so arrogantly aware of both facts that she could aot have attracted more attention if she had been, say, the Kohinoor in an F street window or a headline chorus girl on parade. And, of course, she had an escort—an upstanding young fellow in the best of clothes, but whose step and expression some- how conveyed a sense of not being used to gallivanting around with girls in work hours. And jt might have been his brisk air of wanting to et back to business that rasped the girl's nerves, for she was snapping out words and fiinging her head up the way girls do, either maturally ot from imitating movie queens, for nearly a half square before she un- pinned the orchids and tossed them in: the street. And the street was filled with peo- ple. You never saw F street at 3 o'clock in the afternoon that it wasn't. And equally, of course. passing men and women, the young ones, timed their steps to take the incident in. The young man made no sign that he had seen the contemptuous throw- ing away of what must have been his gift, but walked beside the girl without a word in response to her temperamental fling. What dramatic result there was expressed itself in the action of a dozen or more people following after, each of whom walked 80 as to give the orchids the right of way. Not one expressed an opin- ion, in any way, but looked at the incident as if it were a moving pi ture where an audience is expected to keep quiet. A couple of callow girls did giggle, and looked with such covetous eyes at the splendid castaway that, without being a mind reader, ‘you could tell that, if it wasn't for the crowd, they would pick up the bunch, as if it belonged to them, and divide. Flually, one man lifted the bou- quer tiom the street and placed it on the ledge of a store window, as if to save it from the ignominy of being trampled u: ier foot. Then he passed on. And by that time the mink-jacket girl and her escort had turned the corner—and that was the end of the Incident—unless you felt like tuning in on your imagination to figure out what was going to hap- pen next. A lovers' quarrel may be all right in the romance game, but to throw away beautifully fresh flowers that cost money and loving thought seems somehow like slapping any other in nocent thing that had not harmed you. And made one witness, anyhow, feel that a real man had given his heart to a woman who wasn't worth 1t Then, again, he may have deserved what he got by telling her he didn't believe in equal rights for women—. You never can tell. * k% x GUN shot means excitement. Ex- all of us must have salt. Which shows the necessity of excitement.

The next instant more men and women' began to swarm out of stores, and around the corner in a mad ske- daddle to see what was wrong, and a policeman cropped up from dear knows where. Then a voice was lifted, Saul-like: “Busted tire.” And a woman who was skirting the edge of the commotion noticed that as the crowd broke up into human bits to scatter in individual directions, the face of nearly every man and woman was labeled with the same expression: Disappointment. * X ok % ER fur wrap was unbuttoned to show a tomato-colored dress, and, February being the open season citement is the salt of life, and | street stopped short before turning in | for Palm Beach straws, she had taken early occasion to buy a golden weave Tuscany on which was grafted every fruit and vegetable that the rim could carry aboard.
