THERE la an nppearnnco of sweet simplicity about Alicia, an Iniren uouwicxh of expression, an Inno cent, halMiKiulrliiB, haif-wondcrlng look In her bin blue eyes and an nrt Iobmiors In her observation on things In genernl thnt render her friends very anxious on her account. I nm anxious myself very anxious. I am nfrnld that ouo of these tlno days some designing youth with pndded Rhoulderri nnd pointed shoes will per amnio Alicia to a matrimonial cugago monk Thero are ninny such younjr lin potior diinglliiK' around her, nnd It Is rather remarkable that nothing of tho sort has happeiiiMl. Not that It Is any- "HAVE YOU MST ANYTIIINar' thing to mo personally, only I should hnto to ueo Alicia Imiwscd uion. Sometimes, though, 1 witch myself wondering If Alicia la rwilly as guile less as alio seems. I wondered when sho told mo about losing her purse ou n shopping oxjwdltlon yesterday. "I was dreadfully worried about It," alio aid. "It seemed so careless of mo. I don't suppose men ever do lose their purses, do they?" "Never," I replied, "or almost never." "I'upa never does," said Alicia. "I beard him tell mamma tnat he never did. That was when mamma lost hers. lie saya It la so foolish for women to carry their pockctbooks aiound In their bands; hut I'm suro I don't know how else they could carry tbem uulius they balanced them on their tmds. liesldes, when I have mlno In my hand I alwuys know It's there; It Isn't as If I bad It lu a pocket where I'd never bo auro that somebody hadn't picked It" "Of courso not," I agreed. "Hut If you carried yours In your hand bow did you iiapiKJii to lose It?" "I laid It down, of courso. I was looking at embroideries at Spoonder by' and you can't look at embroideries with one hand." "I can see that with half an eye," I aid. "I wanted the embroidery for a gulmpe," said Alicia. "For a what?" "Oh, never mind. Anyway, I must I have gone away aud left my purse ly ) Alicia's Purse ? If i'j&fESLaWBKSBi WamamSr" life rZPS I ing on me coumer. i Know mat l must have done so, but I didn't think of It at the time. It must have been an hour before I missed It I bad got through with my shopping at Spoonder by 'a and I was In Itaxtrell's. "Tou hadn't bought much, then." "What makes you think so?" "I Just guessed." , "I wanted a sample ot albatross and " "Did you say yon were In Baxtrell's or Lincoln Park. "Albatross Is a clotb, Illy," said Alicia. "I bad a sample of It in my purse that I wanted, to match and when I went to look for It I found, of course, that I hadn't got It" "You looked tor it In your hand, I suppose, nnd to your great irurprlsa your hand was empty?" "Yes," said Alicia, simply. "My Hrst thought was that 1 must nave dropped It somewhere on the lloor audl began to look around Tor It. Just then a voice at my elbow snld, I beg pardon, but have you lost anything?'" "Whnt kind of a voice?" i asked. "It was a very nunlcnl voice," re plied Alicia, "rich and deep and pene trating, with nn Indescribable quality In It, If you know what I mean." "A liquidity?" "Not cxnctly n liquidity. No. 'JUiero was a &ort of sympathetic timbre. Hut you don't know what I menu. You are Just laughing nt me." "I assure you I was not. Was It a mnn's voice or n woman's?" "Why, a mnn's, of courso," said Ali cia, widening her eyes. "How could a man speak lu n woman's voice? And ho was Just splendid. Tail nnd dark nnd with the loveliest little silky blnck nius tncho." "I wish I had been there," I snld. "I'm sure I don't know why you should, bccntiso ho was perfectly re spectful. I think ho saul, 'Have you lost anything, madam?'" "Oh, ono of the tloorwull'crs." "He was nothing of tho kind. Ho didn't look In the least llko a floor walker; most of them are lmld nnd middle-aged. They are at Itaxtrell's. There are sotno young ones nt Sjioon derby's. There Is onu In tho ribbon department who Is per " "Never mind. What did you do? Did you freeze him?" Of course I know that the Idea of Allcln's freezing anybody Is quite pre posterous. "You should liivo done so," I said. "I told him that I had lost my purso and hu was most polite and concerned. Ho didn't try to bo silly as soiuo people do." "Whnt people?" "Never mind. Ho nskeil me to de scrlbo the purso nnd looked all mound under the counter and stools and ev erywhere, but we cotildu t II ml It, nnd then I told him that I'd probably left it at tho embroidery counter In HKon derby's and hu offered to go back there with me." "Allcln," I said, severely, "I'm going to speak to your mother and ask her not to let you go shopping nlono The Idea of walking around die stores with a stranger a young mnn you know ab solutely nothing nbout and tnlklng with him and smiling nt btm mid " "lint 1 didn't walk nround with him," protested Allcln. "I told him that I wouldn't think of troubling him and 1 asked the clerk to show mo some al batross and ho bowed and walked awny Just as nicely as could dc. II- was perfectly lovely about It nnd I felt mean becauso I was afraid ho would think I was trying to snub him.'' "You did perfectly rltfht" I said. "Perfectly right" "I don't know," sighed Alicia. "I don't llko to he rude. Well, when I got through looking at tho nllmtross I went back to Kpoonderhy's and, what do you think? They told aie that soiuc liody hud Just called for the purso and descrllKHl It exactly and that they had given It to him, aud, do you know, It must havu been that same young mnn, The description tho young wom an gnvo of hliu iiinkes mo absolutely certain that It was he." "I nover keep my money In mv purse when I go shopping," snld Allcln, with a faint blush. "There were n lot or samples In It, though, and car fare, anil I tinted dreadfully to lose It. Hut pupa bought mo nnother mid I'd wnnted 'a new ono for ever so long. It's Just tho buiutlfulcst llttlu thing, but 1 never could have afforded It myself, nnd pnpa wouldn't gut It for mo us long us 1 had the old one. "Still, I'm sorry for that young man. I suppose he thought I'd be at Itaxtrell's for a long tluio and ho'd get the purse aud bring It buck to mo and surprise mo. I wonder If no Isn't walk ing up aud down State street now with that wretched little purso In his baud looking for mo?" "I wonder 1" 1 said. And, us I ro marked before, I am still wondering. Chicago Dully News. Without the Harluft- Grace. It was universally acknowledged that Mr. Gladstone's memory was prodig ious; hut thero was a certain Lord Chief Justice of Kngland who thought the statesman's memory of his feats of memory more prodigious still. On ono occasion, after listening to what seemed to him a "tall story" of some happening of the greut man's ear ly years, tho Ixu-d Chief Justlco deter mined to go him ono better. So he said that ho remembered when he was only six months old, lying In his cradle, be saw his nurse surreptitiously help herself to a gluns of brandy, and aid to himself: "As soon as I can speak, sha'n't I tell my mother I" 'The thing Is absolutely Impossible," was Mr. Gladstone's comment, In his gravest tone. Tho Lo.nl Chief Justice said after ward that he had been beaten IecauHo he had reckoned on Mr. Gladstone's having a gleam of humor. "I was mistaken I" ho said, sadly. Not the Name fur It. "I suppose," said the new reporter, "there Is a lot of Jealousy In the the atrical profession?" "Not a particle," replied the leading lady.
