I've known lots of men boys a few, I mean and have heard of many more who were just as sentimental as the most sentimental girl." There were several half-suppressed titters in the semicircle of Camp Fire Girls before whom Katherine stood as she began her address.

She had a fine, hot little temper of her own, and it made her feel rather savage when she heard the titters and saw the poor, stupid, distressed child's face. "It isn't funny, really," she said between her teeth, as she bent over her book. "They ought not to laugh." When lessons were over and the pupils gathered together in groups to talk, Sara looked for Miss St.

The fiddler struck up a lively tune, and the queen, with marvelous lightness of step and ogling glances, ambled up to a tall, raw-boned Methodist preacher, who had come with me, and invited him to dance with her. The poor parson seemed sadly embarrassed, as her manner was very pressing, but he awkwardly and confusedly declined, amid the titters of all present.

Think of the talk and scandal all over the town! Think of the titters and whispers of the ladies in attendance at the Princess's court, where Lady Fanny had a place; of the jokes of Mr. Will's brother-officers at the usher's table; of the waggeries in the daily prints and magazines; of the comments of outraged prudes; of the laughter of the clubs and the sneers of the ungodly!

"This is your house you can see him here, you know. There are ways and ways of doing such things, my dear." With a yawn and a hateful smile Pussy departed. It was over, and she was alive.

Polly's broken and confused narrative continued for the next five minutes. There were some titters from the girls behind her even Miss Heath smiled faintly. Miss Eccleston alone remained grave and displeased. "That will do," she said at last.

Not a word was said of the matter; but there were wry faces, and suppressed titters, that went to my soul; and whenever my father looked me in the face, it was with such a tragi-comical leer such an attempt to pull down a serious brow upon a whimsical mouth that I had a thousand times rather he had laughed outright.
