"That's where you made a mis

a guardian, or a aurte, or something
ot that kind. Oru't you know that

have bought them myself."
"Ob, no, you wouldn't," said she.
"Why wouldn't I "
"Because you don't sell the things
you love. You starve first."
It was her first phrase In which
there was any expression ot senti

that she had a personality 01 many

"The worst times, of course." she
said, "are when tbey get homesick

"Thtvt must be awful," said Bow
ers. "What do yon do for them
then?"
"Just what you would do for a

flatter them."
"I suppose 1 am dumb," ssld Bow
