"Oh. we understand each other."

It was agreed between us that the
two girls should" have a talking tourna-
mont whiio thov ntnved trams of ten
nis, Dick Warren to furnish remarks
for Miss Blanchard. to be thrown iu
occasionally, and I to do the same for
I Miss Ashby. Umpires were appointed.
! and we all met by appointment at the
. court. .
I We permitted the girls to play for
1 awhile without furnishing any re
' marks, during which time they said
what they considered very trying
things to each other, laughing all the
while and congratulating themselves
on then ability to maintain good hu
mor. After the first set had been plav-
ed Dick and 1, each standing by the
girl he was to talk through, began to
put in an occasional word, producing
the following bits of dialogue:
"You give me another ball like that,"
aid' Miss Ashby, ''and I'll swipe you
with my racket" ,',. : .
Miss Blanchard only smiled. -
"Now you're showing your rhinoc
eros tusk." pursued Miss Ashby.
Miss Warren ceased to smile. In
deed, she looked very sober. The tooth
referred to was a blemish to her beau
ty. Dick made her retort.
"That remark was one of your own.
Tou weren't told to say It at alL I
think It real mean of you."
"Deuce!" cried Miss Ashby at my
succcstion. claiming 10 points more
than she was entitled to.
"Tou know very well its 80-40.
What do you want to grab points like
that forr

served, "if you'd 6top looking sweet at
Mr, Martindale you'd play a better
game. Everybody knows what you're
up to in that direction."
Dick scored one In putting that re
mark Into Miss Blanchard's mouth.
Miss Ashby threw down ber racket.
"1 'don't care," she said. "It doesn't
make any difference whether you were
prompted to say that or not; you had
no right to say it." Her face was fiery
red, and her eyes were snapping.
Miss Blanchard had not got over the
remark about her tusk and seemed to.
take a malicious - pleasure in saying
what Dick told her to say, sometimes
breaking Into short bits of Irritating
laughter. " '
"Sadie, if you do5't top that gig
gling you'll drive me crazy," I made
Miss Ashby remark. (
"Ob. don't ie silly! You're making a
poor show of yourself. You should
have brought a handglass."
"You'd better have ' brought one
yourself." retorted Miss Ashby, "If
you had you'd have kept your tusk
hidden."
Miss Blanchard dropped her racket
and strode off the field. ,
"I didn't suppose," she said hotly.
"that this was to be a tournament of ! U,
"Nor have I." Miss Blanchard
chimed in.
"I'll admit" 1 said by way of apol
ogy. "that It's far more pleasant for
friends to say nice things to each oth

The people who fear you won't tina
out who tby are unless they tell you
the history of their lives may be in
formative, but they are boresome.
There are persons so mean minded
that they ought to be tliaukful If they
staud any chance of losing their minds
Some persons are really adept at ad
Justing difficulties, but they never can
guarantee that the adjustment will

But still we all like to see a woman

The trouble with soreheaded people
is that they are certain to be entirely;
too generous with their grouch.
If any girl were to have the ill for
tune to marry her Ideal the fates would
need to be kind to her.
Sometimes a dimple la worth as much
la the marriage market as a fortune.

to cultivate friends has. succeeded only
In raising a Hue crop of grouches.
