SGElTlHG A ROMANGE By JANE COLLINS. 0000000000000000000000000 “Did you have a birthday or any- thing?” inquired the girl who was pinning remnant price tags on dif- ferent lengths of ribbon. “Who—me?” answered the young woman at the lace with the extremely blonde hair. Why?” “Oh, I didn’t know,” rejoined the girl at the ribbons. *“Of course there was Chris’'mus. You might have had it ever since then and I not noticed it. 1 only asked.” “Whatever are you talking about?” cried the girl at the lace with elab orate carelessness. “Really, Julia M’ree, I don't see how you expect folks to understand you when you don't talk plainer!” “I never was any hand to crowd in,” explained the gir] at the ribbons. “If my friends can't tell me things I don't want to know—not me! I never did like to be curious about other people’s business and you know it. Only I thought I'd ask. Diamond rings don't grow on bushes for the picking! You can't blame a person for noticing a headlight like that!” “Oh!” said the girl at the lace with s faint blush. “I didn't know you had seen it. I couldn’t imagine what you meant. Goodness—why make a fuss over a simple thing like that?” The girl pinning ribbons gave a sort of choked crow. “Simple!” she echoed. “Well, dlamonds aren’t 8o ter- ribly simple. You talk as though you used them instead of gravel for your walks around your p'latial estate, Hat- tie Doggett! Of course if people no better'n 1 am choose to put on airs that's their own affair! Only my father is a city official instead of just a clerk like yours. He's a policeman, and he's taught us not to put on dog! ‘Just remember,’ he says to us often, ‘that people will find out fast enough the position 1 hold without you kids | from Shakespeare: boasting about it and don’t act as | though you were better'n otber folks! Be kind to them!’ “None of our family would go around pretending diamonds was the dirt under our feet, though the land knows we could have diamonds if we wanted 'em! Not that we'd be go fool- ish as to spend hard earned money for foollshness like that!” “I think,” sald the extremely blonde young woman at the lace, “that you are very sensible, Julia M'ree. Land knows when a girl {8 so homely she hasn’t any chance of marrying ghe 18 wise to save up for her old age! Not that I'm saying 1 bought my ring myself!” “I don't suppose you did!" said her friend. “I never supposed you ever saw 80 much money at one time in your life! It's awful, being so im- provident! Well, if you didn’t buy it 1 suppose some one gave it to you— and I must say that what any girl can see In that sappy, weak-eyed pinhead of a Percy Fox that floorwalks in the next aisle but one is beyond me! I'm sorry for the girl that ties up to him —a two room flat for her for the rest of her life.” “Ye-es.” agreed the blonde young woman at the lace, languidly. *I don’t think much of Percy myself.” “Oh!” sald the girl at the ribbons, somewhat blankly. “Then he didn't give it to you? I don't like to pry, but 1 must say I have my opinion of a girl who keeps her affairs from her best friends and never talks about her steady company. I've told you all about Oscar long ago, and you never saylng a word! Anmy child would know that a fellow who gives a girl a diamond ring expects to marry her! 1 don't suppose I'll even be invited to the wedding! Not that I care—but I must say it's a shabby way to treat an old friend! “I don't want you to think 1 care in the least, Hattle Doggett, about your affairs! I don't wantsto know about your feenonsay, for he's not of the slightest consequence to me! 1 have plenty of interesting things hap- pening to myself to take up my time. Only a girl can't be very proud of a she's ashamed to talk about even it he can afford to give her diamond rings, which isn't saying they're in good taste when they're as big as a chunk of ice!"” “You make me laugh” said the blonde young woman, turning her hand so that the stone in question caught the rays of the arc light above. *“It does sparkle, doesn't 1t? I'd just @8 soon tell you as not about the ring, Julla M'ree. My kid sister got it in & stocking full of candy and pop- corn and truck at a party and maybe it cost 10 cents. 1 wore it just for fun.” “H'm!" suspiciously sniffed the girl who was pinning tags on ribboms. “Why didn't you say so before? 1 don't belleve you at all, Hattle Dog- gett—and I bet you're ashamed of him!” Dead Joke. Orville Wright said in Dayton of his stabilizer: “With my stabilizer an airman won't need to think about his balance any more than an automobilist tiinks about his. This will not only make for comfort. It will make for safety. There will be no more aeroplane jokes as Golde's. "“0ld Gobsa Golde was informed by his wife that Scattergood, their som, wanted to take up flying. “‘Oh,’ growled Gobsa from his desk, ‘send the boy in here to me with a sledgehammer. I'll break his arms and 8 leg and half a dozen ribs, and knock out an eye and a row of teeth. Thatll be just the same thing as flying, and 1t save us about $10,000.’ ...“0..0.................

Peaceful?” echoed he “Did you do an hour's gardening last summer without killing a hundred in- sects or worms? You talk about my keenness for hunting and my horrid taste for destroying life, but I don’t suppose that in a whole year I kill as many living creatures as you do in a single day in your garden.” “But 1 have no taste for it de- clared Prudence. “Besides, I kill only in self-defense.
