Society people, travelers and prosperous busi- ness folk went wich the scerery, which, In turn, belonged to the lobby of a big hotel. In the middle of everything two men of midage lumpiness shared one of two leath- er lounges that were placed back to back. The other lounge was taken over by an oldish gentleman who must have found his paper unusually humor- by the al- most boylsh grin he hid behind its . The two men had finished cordial greetings and settled down for a chat—at least, one listened while the other talked the traditional blue streak, with his eyes taking in the revolving door ahead. “Mighty glad to come across you, old man. Looks like the world was taking good care of you—same way with me. Yes, sir, I'm pretty well fixed. Got the finest home in my sec- tion, a couple of growing boys— everything, you might say, except, of course, the loss of my wite bit iate me hard. Left me a year ago, and while I have no notion of ever marry- ing again, I sometimes pay court to the ladies—they expect it of widow- ers, you know. I'm dated up with a peach tonight—dinner and a show— though, by rights I should have taken the 6:30 for home. Still, the boys are all right—got an old-maid-in-law on the job—wife's siste, s “That sounds dangerous. quity, you know—-" “Nuh, never! She's every day of 40. You know the poet says that the world’s two greatest nulsances are rubber plants and old malds. Now I don’t object to @ rubber plant around; it's green and fresh, anyhow—but I can't stand for the sere and yellow ladies. My sister-in-law was right good-looking when she was young, but reminds me more of a mourning wreath under glass than anything else I can think of just now. If I should ever marry agaln—not that I expect to, but if I should—my choice would be a young lady like the one I am waliting for. Met her the other night. Ah—see you again, old man.” The expected “date” having re- volved herself from the outer night into the glowing, musical warmth, turned quick eyes in search of her host, and, as he hurried forward, ex- tended a hand that was white kid to the elbow and bar arm above. An all-enveloping gray fur cape opened to reveal a pink satin lining and her bobbed hair was filigreed with a band of pink ribbon looped In a girlish bow. The greeting of the two might have been posed for the book cover of a best-seller romance—and then they passed on to the place of pink candles. Which was all there was to it, except that- The gentleman behind the humor- ous newspaper added an epilogue next morning for the benefit of a listener who is herself a cut-and- dried, but not packed-away, old mald: “She looked the tubby widower's ‘peach’ all right, but having had charge of her mother's estats for many years, I know for a fact that she can't be a day under 45—and that's allowing her the benefit of the doubt." Which shows the impregnable po- tency of wealth, plus the wit to transmute it into fairy finery, henna locks and the magic art that can pro- Propin- duce beauty—in hood! And which proves, likewise, that when Fashion decrees her status a single woman belongs to the “young- er set” until she marries or dies of old age. its second child- * % x & I‘!' is man doctrine that woman is oversensitive about her age, and doubtless woman is, but her brother Adam s the same, with this small in- stance for a showdown: A young fellow seated in a crowded ‘car offered his place to a pale old man who was hanging to a strap. The man declined the courtesy with & loud rudeness that caught the at- tention of passengers around. “Keep your seat, sir; I am as able to stand as you are, sir." The young man, with an insistence that did more credit to his heart than to his head, kept his stand and re- peated his invitation. The old man, #ay In his 70-odds, let his temper steam up like a kettle on the boil: “Sit down, sir. I am not as old as you seem to think. You are offen- slve, sir. Flushed with embarrassment, the youngster sat down and turned his face to the window. The passengers shoved closer on the side seat and made room for the old man. As soon s he was seated he took the whole into his confidence: “Some folks are too officious. I may be a little older In years, but anybody can see that I am as vigor- ous as the next—and just as able to stand as he 18" The passengers kept neutrally non- committal, and the polite young man gave no sign that he heard. Feel- ing the lack of proper sympathy, the oldish man took a paper from his coat pocket and began to read. Then, perhaps, in a sudden gust of realiza- tion that he had been a mean old codger, he leaned across and tapped the young man on the knee. “‘S8ay, here's my paper, If you would llke to read it." The young man thanked him and declined. ‘Take it, account of The young man interrupted with another polite refusal. The pas- sengers were all eves and ears. The old man insisted. The young man put his refusal in language: “1 accept your apology, because you muat feel pretty cheap before all these people for insulting a fel- low who offered you a kindness— but your paper can go to blank." And that old codger man would doubtless tell you, if he had the chance, that women are oversensi- tive about their ages. Which is one of the ways of Adam. * *x % % WASHINGTON woman who will make the pilgrimage to Rome in April asked a more experienced traveler what sort of trunk she must take, and if a lead pencil would do for notes, or would it be better to carry a fountain pen. The traveler seemed io be entirely qualified to meet demands. A trunk would be more troublesome than a teething baby, and as to tabbing down hap- penings, she wouldn't need to— unless she expected to hire a hall. “But what about changes?
