But the one she | borhood to do but fall desperately in | treasured most was the New York sky love with him. After Arthur's arrival there began a perfect surge of girls toward the Mills residence. It appeared that they all loved Violet half to death and were sitting up nights planning entertain- ments for her to show their devotion —entertainments to which she was re- quested to “bring along your brother John—and his guest.” But Elsie Wangness was the most devoted of them all, for she took to bringing over her fancy work and sit- ting on the porch with her dear friend Violet. Of course, she could not help it if she was there when John and Ar- thur happened to be there also. Violet recalled, when she thought it over, that Elsie most generally had been sitting there on the porch when the young men were around. It was no wonder, then, that she actually be- gan wearing Arthur's fraternity pin --no doubt she had wrested it from him by main torce! Violet had ob- served t pin two seconds after Ar- thur's arrival and instantly wild hopes of wearing it herself before his depart- ure seized upon her. Only a week of Arthur’'s visit had gone by before Elsie ostentatiously displayed the pin and also a maddening air of ownership of Arthur before Violet's very eyes. Any one can see, therefore, that Violet was Justified in longing to say “Smarty!" and wrinkle up her nose, The unwritten laws of girlhood frown upon one girl's flirting with a young man to whom another girl has a prior right. As Violet told herself hotly, if she didn’t have first right to a visitor in her very own home, she'd like to know who did! What was hardest to bear was Elsie's sweet commiseration. Her every glance seemed to say how sorry she wa: for Violet because Violet's at- tractions were so limited that it was impossible for her to capture a hand- some young man. Violet, however, was convinced in the depths of her heart that if she had used one-sixteenth of the artful wiles of Elsie she could have beaten Elsie in the first inning. That was what came of being re- served and modest—it wasn't true that | men wanted to do the chasing them- selves. Hereafter—Violet set her lips in a way that presaged ill for any help- less and unsuspecting masculine indi- vidual that fate henceforth threw in her path. “Arthur says he just loves brown eyes,” Elsie would confide to her. Vio- let's eyes were blue. Or “Arthur says | he much prefers smooth hair like | mine.” Violet's hair was naturally wavy. After these little episodes Vio | let would retire to weep in rage and | meditate revenge. It only in some way she could get even with Elsie it would assuage the | bitterness rankling within her. That she should have been such a simple ton as to let another girl get ahead of her was a dreadful reflection In the last week of Arthur's stay, | when Elsie dropped frequent remarks | that were calculated to show Violet that Elsie expected to hear from Ar- | thur frequently Violet breko six em- broidery needles. Arthur had said noth- "lng about writing to her! The day the visitor was to leave Ar- | thur and John came home to luncheon | and Elsie, who had the chair nearest | | the porch steps, bestowed her sweet- est, most bewildering smile upon them. | It was as though she said to Vio- welcome!™ Then Arthur paused instead of go- | ing indoors. He smiled down at Elsie and for an awful instant Violet won- dered if he was going to make love to | her before Violet's anguished eyes! | Then he spoke: | that I'm going today and want my pin | back that you borrowed. You see, | there's a lady back east that I've given | that pin to—she's going to be Mrs. | the pin to wear on this trip! Thanks!” had torn from her dress feverishly, Ar- thur went whistling into the house. ! Violet drew a long breath as she re | covered from the shock. She smiled ' happily now, for she saw her revenge. “Why, how surprised you seem to be to hear that Arthur's engaged!” she murmured, languidly. “T knew it —all the time!™ i)r S;rah E.

He quotes Prof. Churton Collins as giv fog the palm to a line in Rwinburne's “Tristan and Iseult,” the line that says: “And all toeir past came wall- ing in the wind." Certaizly that is a great line, but the real dificulty, says the (‘hronicle scribe, Is to find the worst line rather than the be't. And then he tells us of a contest hetween Tennyson and FitzGerald as to who could write the weakest imaginable Wordsworthian line. They succeeded fn producing: “A Mr. Wilkinson, a clergyman.” FitzGerald and Tennyson each claimed this fine effort and the point is still undecided. Can any one else do better than this?
