"You don't mean to say he considers himself seriously engaged? At twenty! And to his landlady, too I never heard such nonsense! Buddy's in no position to marry. Who IS the girl, anyway?" "GIRL is good!" said the reader, bitterly. "She's thirty-two!" Mrs. Fox, her hand hovering over a finger-bowl, grew rigid. "Thirty-two!" she echoed blankly. Then sharply: "Anthony, do you think you can stop it?"
Would he not have done as much had he dared, or if he had had the money in his pocket? To tell the truth, Amedee dreamed that very night of the pretty maid with the suspicion of a moustache. The next day, when Amedee paid his visit to the Gerards, all they could talk of was the evening before.

"Queer they should come back here, isn't it?" she commented idly; and then, as if the subject had passed from her mind with the observation, Mrs.

The conversation was peculiar and singularly interesting. "Then you think that monogamy is simply a question of the thermometer?" said Mrs.
"I want a walk this afternoon," she declared emphatically. "Use your finger-bowl," said Jane. "Can't you never remember your manners?" "I'm seven to-day," Gwendolyn went on, the tips of her fingers in the small basin of silver while her face was turned to Jane. "I'm seven and and I'm grown-up." "And you're splashin' water on the table-cloth. Look at you!"

"I wish it had lasted longer," said Miss Elizabeth.
On the plate which is to serve for the ice is a gold ice-spoon, and a silver dessert-knife and fork accompany the finger-bowl and glass plate.
