I want some thing in tulle and silver— just a little simple dance frock for about eighty or ninety. But I must get the serge to day.” “ I may get a satin frock instead of a serge,” chimed in the girl with the big hnt. “ Serge really is frightfully common. “ I suppose because it is cheaper than satin. A severe black satiu frock has such an air and I can carry off those strictly tailored things. But I won’t touch a satin under four dollars a yard— I hate those sleazy cheap ones!” “Oh. dear m e!” cried the girl fn th« small hat, stopping short. T m so sorry!

I haven’t seen you for ages! Are you shopping?" “ Well, yes,” admitted the girl with the draped veil falling into step. “ I'm so busy there days I had to drop a doz en things to come downtown: But one does have to have clothes—such a nuisance!” “ That's the way I feel about It," ad mitted the other. “ I'm looking for a dress myself. Where are you go ing to look first?” “ Oh, in all those exclusive shops," the girl in the small hat rejoined with a tiny shudder. “ I simply can't stand the places where they have no individ uality and where, when yon do find something, y. let sixteen other women with the- > me thing on l I cannot he happy if a eown unle« Is for me a l o n e - u r thinks I have the most d is til style— " The other fc'VT ' <» a shriek. “ A r* you still going with Arthur Darkw»- ter?” she erled. “ My goodness!
