her scanty eyebrow Jerked ominously.
Her Ups were set In a taut line, and
her angxy-lit eyes were fixed upon a
girl who sat by the window strumming
a guitar. her chin raised with an air
of placid indifference.
"Thou wilt stop this nonsense and
cast no more glances at Juan Turnel?”
demanded Dona Pomposa. "Thou little
brat! Dost thou think that I am wont
to let my daughter marry before she

"You need not be afraid," said her
daughter, digging her little heel into
the floor. "I shall not fall in love. 1

Her mother laughed outright in spite
of her anger.

"Indeed, my Eulogia! Thou are very
wise. And why, pray, has thou no
faith in men?"
Kulogia tossed the soft, black braid
from her shouledrs and fixed her keen,
roguish eyes on the old lady's face
"Because I have read all the novels
of the Senor Dumas, and I well know
all those men he makes. And they
never speak the truth to women; al
ways they are selfish and think of only
their own pleasure. The women suffer,
but they do not care; they do not love
the women—only themselves So T am
not going to be fooled by the men. 1
shall have a. good time, but I shall
think of myself, not of the men."
Her mother gazed ot her In speech
less amazement She had never read a
book In her life, and had not thought
of locking from her daughter the few
volumes her dead husband had collected.
Then she gasped with consternation.
"A fine woman thou wilt moke of
thyself, with such ideas—a nice wife
and mother, when the time comes!
What does Padre FI urges say to that,
I should like to know? It is very
gtrange that he lets you read those

"I never told him," said Eulogia. in
differently
"What!" screamed her mother. "Thou
never told at confession?"
"No, I never did. It was none of his
business what I read Heading is no
sin. I confessed all."
Dona Pomposa rushed at Eulogia with
uplifted hands; but her nimble daughter
dived under her arms with a provoking
laugh nnd ran out of the room

The padre smiled; he was used to
her.
‘‘Men Shall Love Me.”
"Thou little wise one." He collected
himself suddenly. "But thou art right
to build thy hopes of happiness on the
next world alone." Then he continued,
as if he had merely broken the con
versation to say the Angelus: "And
thou art sure that thou wilt be the la
favorita? Truly, thou hast confidence
in thyself—an inexperienced chit who
has not half the beauty of many other
girls."
"Perhaps not; but the men shall love

hands, for they were covered with warm
ashes.
"Well, my daughter, have I not Won

and Kulogia sat down on the window
seat and swung her feet with silent
wrath.
Dona Tomposa wore a rather short
nightgown and her feet were encased
In a pair of her husband's old boots.
Her hair w’as twisted under a red silk
kerchief, and again she crossed 'her
hands on her stomach, but the thumbs
held the candle. Kulogia glgeled sud

"No, mamma; you have proved the

magnificence of Dos Quevos."

room, her ample figure swinging from
side to side like a huge pendulum.
The next day Kulogia was sitting on
her w’lndow’ seat, her chin resting on
her knees, the volume of Dumas beside
her, when the door was cautiously
opened and her Aunt Anastacia enter
ed the room. Aunt Anastacia was very
lurge In fact, she nearly filled ihe
doorway. She also disdained whale
bones and walked with a slight roll.
Her ankles hung over her feet, and her
red cheeks and chin were covered with
a short black gown. Her hair was
twisted. Into a tight knot and protected
by a thick net. and she wore a loose
gown of brown calico, patterned with
large red roses. But good nature beam

young man. I invited a young
man whom I know to be very re
spectable and polite, but 1 had
known him a very little time, and,
at that, only to talk to. Now.
w'hat I want to know is if it was
right to Invite him. ANXIOUS.
You have been introduced and you
knew him to be honorable. Under
the circumstances, you did no great
wrong. The mistake, if there was
any, lies In the custom of asking a

and visions of money and success.
Tho little tatterdemalion you meet

Paris to-day means that you must look

"Leon Baker, who did the costume
designing for the Russian ballet and
for all the Oriental plays, has set the
rage for short-haired coiffures, and
short hair is absolutely THE THING

wear your hair very flat on the head
and bound around with a silk sash
of Oriental materia!, from under
which a few short curls are allowed
to escape.
