bout it in Mrs. Humphry Ward. A buzzing sound dying off into the distance, a trail of Blue Smoke in the fading Twilight, and little Bright Eyes is back in her own Boudoir packing herself into a new set of Glads. That evening she had four throbbing Roscoes curled up among her Sofa Pillows. She had to bat up short and easy ones for this Bunch, as they came from the Wholesale District. When they began to distribute political Bromides, the artful Minx sat clear out on the edge of the Chair and let on to be simply pop-eyed with Ardor. Shortly after 12 she turned the last night-blooming Cyril out into the Darkness and did a graceful Pirouet to the Husks. On Wednesday morning, between the Ham and Eggs, she glanced at her double-entry Date Book and began to gyrate. On the way down-town she stopped in and had herself measured for a new mop of Hair. Thence to the Beauty Works to have the peerless Frontispiece ironed out and the Nails ivoried. When she appeared at the Sorority Tiffin at 1 P.M. she was dolled for fair.

At 11.30 she had the Best Man backed into a Corner, slipping him that Old One about his Hair matching his Eyes. It is now Thursday morning and who is this in the Gym whanging the Medicine Ball at the Lady Instructor with the Face? It is Loretta. Behold her at 10.30, after an icy Splash and a keen rub with a raspy Towel. She has climbed back into the dark-cloth Effect and is headed for the Studio of Madam to grapple with the French Lesson. After that she will do nothing before Lunch Time except try on White Shoes and fondle some Hats that are being sacrificed at $80 per throw. The Suffrage Sisters rounded up Thursday afternoon.
