Must be sort of cold to the head. though.” I should say! You don't hafter wear siraw hats until Easter Sunday. just because the stores make a show of ‘em.

When sthey returned, after exploring the Tooms open to visitors and were taking -up their cameras, the young woman #3id to the young men: “It's all right. boys. We couldn't hzve got good shots, anyhow. Light ¥3s too poor—and we would have lost -# lot of good films.

Whether it hurt the woman, is| another thing. To one passenger | around. sympathy went out to the ob- | vious husband. as she said to herself— having no one handy to say it to: “Think of having to live with a! woman like that, every day and every night as long as ever he lives—I bet he'd rather be single!” And by that time the car had turned down the Avenue with the photograph- ing party still on the steps. But the woman kept on talking: “The law ought to jail every woman who shows her knees,” and so on. And the husband man had to sit there and listen.
