He would adually drop off, and leave her to sadness and regret. Of course he would continue to call occasionally, because, as he expressed it to himself, he pitied her, and in- deed he was very “fond” of her. As he told her, she would always have a “warm corne: n his heart. He just couldn't help but be so fas- cinating, and surely he could not be blamed if a lady was s0 much in love with him, His eyes would Nght on another pretty one and he would use the same artful means of getting her interested in him, Again would come the flowers and the bonbons and the dinners and the “sweet nothings,” and his heart would expand to encompass the new- comer, One might be a blond, another a brunette.

For lo, elght hours of the day may a Bachelor Girl pursue her work and rejoice in her "CAREDR.” But, when the evening cometh, will her “Career” take her out to dinner, and pay the bill thereof? Will her “Art” allow her to lay her head upon tts shoulder and to ‘weep upon its coat lapel? Will her “Work” bathe her forehead in eav de cologne and call her endearing nicknames?
