What on earth happened downtown?” “I have learned,” explained Loretta impressively, “that women have been terribly slandered for thousands of years. People have said and sung and written that women have a great deal of vanity—and there isn't a word of truth in ft!” “This {s new to me,” declared her brot“er, becoming interested. did you find it out?” “You needn’'t talk superciliously,” sald Loretta. “You, who were so flattered because that little Miss Har- ris sald you looked like an aristocrat. 1 have just been taking observations. “The first woman I noticed partic- ularly had one of these new lemon colored hats on—you know, the kind that has © trimming of blue and green and red. Well, she herself was the color of an orange and she stood be- fore a mirror smiling at herself, per- fectly delighted with a hat that made her look 20 years too old and the shade of yellow that is the very most distressing. “Next to her there stood a woman on the shady side of fifty, who wore a very extreme Dutch neck and showed forth more bones and wrinkles than are included in most “Then There Are the Hats.” textbooks on anatomy. was fat around her course, she wore panniers and all kinds of looped up draperies. She looked like a bag of meal surmounted by a picket fence. “I would have laughed aloud if I hadn’'t been struck dumb by another woman who approached wearing a terra cotta coat, a crimson hat and a green dress. She had a purple feather in her hat and her hair was red, and she was a sight to behold. I began to look at women more intently then and I tried to reason it out. Why does a woman who has a bony neck at- tempt to wear these Queen Elizabeth ruffs that make the neck long and thin looking, and then cap the climax with a Dutch neck which gets chap- ped and raw in our winter winds? Can she think that she looks well?” “She won't be well very long, that's one sure thing,” replied Loretta's brother. “Then there are the hats,” Loretta went on. “Words fail me when I come to the hats. Can't women see. how ridiculous they look with a bamboo tree sticking into everybody's eyes? What makes them think they look sweet in hats banged over one eye or slanted down over their foreheads as flat as a plate? Why do sallow wom- en wear green and lemon or old rose This woman waist, so, of and lavender combinations? Simply because they have not a speck of vanity, that's all. If they had the least bit of vanity, then I'm sure that nothing on earth could tempt them to put such things on, no matter if they were a hundred times the style.

Sit down, Luey and let them quarrel in peace.” “Quarrel in peace! How ridiculous: I think we ought to stop them.” “I don't. If they have a little dispute they should be allowed to settle it without our interference. We must learn to give them a little indepen- dence.” Mrs. Martin resumed her reading. but in a moment was on her feet again. “Now, Lucy, sit down,” said her husband, “and let the kids fight their own battles, If there isn't a cessa- tion of hostilities in ten minutes I'll agree to your going in and calling a halt, although I think it would be bet- ter to let them come to a finish now and be done with it.” Martin rose and, walking casually toward the door that led into the hall, quietly opened it. *“I think there’s no harm, how- ever, in our knowing what the row is. There, listen to our eldest.” “Yes, 1 suppose you think you'll be the whole thing if you queer me,” Jack was saying. “But I won't stand for it. I say you shan’t go there. Do you get me?” “I should worry. I don’t think it's any of your business where I go. I've got as good a right to call on girls as you have, Jack Martin,” returned Fred, Jr., lustily. “You're not exactly my boss.” “Maybe I'm not and maybe you've got a right to call on girls, even if vou haven't been in long pants a year yet, but I won't have you calling on “I Thought | Was in Deep Water.” a special friend of mine and telling her all sorts of fool things about me.” “What have I been telling anybody, I'd like to know?” “You know very well that you told | Beatrice that my middle name is Oba- | diah.” “Well, isn't it Obadiah? want me to tell her a lie?” “I didn't want you to tell her any- thing about my middle name.
