They havn't beén engaged for ages. You see she's engaged now to Abner White. He's perfectly splendid!” “The dickens!” said the father of the family blinking. “Didn't 1 hear - her planning the bungalow she and Jerome Wwere going to build and the color of the wall paper and everything? Wasn't she raving over his splendid and noble char- acter and you were cooing a Greek chorus of acquiescence?

Why don’t they know their own minds? Why did Harriett drop him?” “Well,” said Caroline, “I dont know that you could exactly say she dropped him. You know, Jerome is away a lot, because his firm makes him travel, and sometimes he said he didn't get a chance to write Harriett every day and when she didn’t get a letter it made her ter- ribly bitter and cynical unless she cried and when she cries it always makes her nose read and gives her a headache. “So Harriet said she got to thinking, and, anyhow, Abnmer was driving up in a simply marvelous new racing car for her every day and you never saw such boxes of candy as he sent—five pounds every time. And Harriett said she just couldn’t bear the pathetic ex- pression in his eves when he looked at her.

She said Jerome had no semse of the propricties falling in love again right aw it was different with her, “Of course, for Abner is so entirely different from most men. “He is one of the absolutely devoted kind and will never care for anyhody else, and it is for life and all that.
