But what a blessed thing it would be if we had a club house, where. we could take our letters or our credentials from Consuls and important people and meet the very people we should like to know! gf American artists could meet London artists, American writers meet London writers, Ameri- can musicians meet London muasi- cians, and so on down the line, how splendid it would be. “Think of the time we waste in getting in with the wrong set," con- tinued Miss Parbury. “Surely ‘the stranger within the gates” ought to have an opportunity to meet the people in @ country as well as to see the sights. During the war so many pleasant, lifelong friendships were formed that it seems as if we must establish some common meeting place where congenial people may meet, “In London we have what is known ag the Ladies’ Lyceum Club, but it is for women only. Here journalists, authors and artists meet and re- cently they have established a so- cial section, But my idea in estab- lishing a ‘League of Friendship’ is to “But how did you happen to think ot this ‘League of Friendship,’ and how are you going to establish it?” J asked Mies.

Oh, I tell you what would ‘be nice for her, I've some linen handkerchiefs that were sent me last Christmas by somebody and I've never used them, so if you would just get me a nice handkerchief box” “Ob, all right,” said Mr. Jarr, re- signedly. “And Cousin Emily writes me she'll send mea knitted shawl, and you know she hates the very sight of me, and so I'll have to send her something. Get her a box of fancy writing paper, perfumed if you can; that will appeal to her, as she just doses*everything with cheap cologne. I'll put a cheap Christmas card in the box and write on it, ‘With love ang best wishes'— and I hope she chokes!" “Anything else?” asked Mr. Jarr. “Hum, iet me see,” said Mrs. Jarr. “I met Mrs, Kittingly this fhorning and she was SO very sweet. Would you take that ag a good or a bad sign?” “Why, J don't know,” said Mr, Jarr, “A good sign, I suppose.” “I am not so sure about that,” said Mrs, Jarr musingly. “Mrs. Kittingly is such a cat one can’t tell whether being so sweet Js to offset the fact that she doesn’t intend to send me anything or does it mean, ‘I've sent you something, now you send me something!’ You know, for I wouldn't put it past her, she may simply have been sweet so I will think she is send- ing me something when she is not, and 80 get me to send her something.

Her maid told Mrs, Stryver's maid about it, and so, as I said, you can’t trust Mrs. Kittingly!” “What do you want me to get for her?” asked Mr. Jarr with no sign of emotion at this recital of Mrs, Kit- tingly’s duplicity, “That'd just what's worrying me!" said Mrs. Jarr petulantly. “If she's got me something expensive I've got to get her something expensive; if she’s got me something cheap then I only need to get her something cheap. Oh, dear, I wish I knew if she really is sending me something!” “Tl see something for @ lady and get it,” said Mr. Jarr, preparing to depart. “No, you won't!" replied Mrs. Jarr sharply. “I know how you are!
