SUB ROSA BY MIMI. i What Is Poise? | “Poise.” May told her younger sister Alice, “is the art of being able to sit perfectly still without moving a musgle—being able to balance a tea- {cup in one hand and a plateful of sandwiches in the other, without dropping either—never looking dis- turbed, no matter what happens. If ! some one rushes into your room and | tells you that your husband is dead, jand yvou say calmly, ‘Oh, my dear, how dreadful,’ that shows you have poise.” |~ Alice was greatly impressed by this {explanation. but she couldn’t see how | it affected her very much. She se- cretly felt that people with poise must | be rather cold and inhuman and | strange. | _Perhaps if May had told her some | of the things which people with poise | | do not do she might have come to | know more qf the value of poise.

Without, another word he drew the snapshot from his pocket and handed it to her, while the other boys grinned embarrassedly and shuffied their feet uneasily. = Di seized the picture, still play acting, and tore it to bits, then threw it away. She ‘turned on the crowd with a | rather constrained laugh. saving with | forced gavety, “T was just kidding, anyway, John; you shouldn't take me so_serious | But everybody had taken her seri- ously enough to dislike the little scene and the girl who played the central figure in it Poor kid, she only acted that way because she hadn‘t any poise.
