"Hut we haven't," uaid l>ick roa? ; surlngly, uh he peered anxloualy Into I the alx cylinders of his ntV IfCtf "Well, why tell me so?" I grum bled "I think It would be quite thrill * > lug and romantic " "I can easily lose my way If you In sist, hot it 'k slmplor not to. Ajt It Is, we're far enough from anywhere to have it appear Just an romantic as you like." And Dicks hand closed over mtnri In a way that led me to believe that he was altogether right Well, if nothing's the matter, let's go on, if you really won't pretend we're lost." "I am lost, Peggy, absolutely lout. I wan lout ull the while 1 was In Europe, ?nd I thought I could Had my way, but I couldn t. The corals were the only things that helped out at all." I wondered what I ought to Bay. [ thought Dick had finished thinking things about me. Or had I changed? At any rate, he never tried to rule me now the way he used to before I stopped helping him exceed the speed j limit. We usqd to be such pals, but I hate to have a man decide tilings for me without ever giving me a chance, and to tell the truth, Dick aa a pos sible lover suggested all sorts of un dreamed of excitement. "Have you seen much of Marian Collins lately?" I ventured, attempting to change the subject. And then an he looked at me Hlowly, "Ob, Dick please start the engine." We were qn a country road up some where near Tuxedo, and we had stopped passing machines ever since we had struck it. so evidently we were quite ofT the beaten track. And now that the time had actually arrived I i was beginning to feel terribly shivery. At any rate, I had only had one pro posal and Dick might ? Oh, I don't | know, that kissing problem always frightens me, and how was I going to help myself? Dick's lazy eyes were anything but I ,a7-y Just at that moment. ' ?>Kgy, perhaps I haven't a chance ! in the world -with you. perhaps I donT : deserve one, but I'm desperate." Why, 'Dick,'' I said Innocently, j drawing as far away from him as I : could iu my present surroundings, , "we're friends, wh-y be desperate ? about anything?" "Don't fence. I know that you can choose iroin a circle, of men that | swarm around you all tho time. Why | I have heard from every fellow at the club about some doctor who has been chasing around after you." I smiled inwardly. Dick didu't j .know that that was all past and done j with. Alter all it was a safe proposal i Compared to this one and even if I I didn't know what to say, why ? O, if i Some one would only come along, j "What would you do if J should kiss you?" he said suddenly. 'MJor.'t be absurd." I said more calm ly than 1 felt. "Let's try to overtake the others on the road; we can't be so very tar away from them." lie was standing on the* running board and he leaned forward suddenly. "A bargain," ho whispered, "a kiss and we'll start. See, I'll crank her and we'll be off." And In a second the I engine thrilled into motion. Then Dick came back dete7rniinedly. "Peggy," he whispered unsteadily, and then he lifted me out into his arms. There was no need of struggling; he forced my head bacli on his shoulder and I closed my eyes with a sob. I didn't want it to happen then. And suddenly down the road came the roar of a Klaxton and a glare of light, and I slipped out of Dick's arms as Marian Collins called. We thought we'd lost you for good. Any trouble?" And then I was nes tling, Into my furs and we were flying along the road again as if nothing had happened. But I wus simply be wildered at myself. DO you know why? Because as I stole a glance at Dick's face, stern and uncompromis ing, I was glad that it wasn't alf over. "What if I should be going to fall In love with Dick? Inexperienced. Frank J. Gould, at a luncheon at the Negre?co at Nice, said of the flap per: "Wherever the English congregate they Calk of nothing but the flapper. The flapper, you know, is their name for the young girl In shortish skirts and openwork stockings who still wears her hair in a flap, or plait, down her back. What amazes all Kngland today is the flapper's 'advanced' ideas. As there's a 'new' woman, so there eeems to be a new flapper. "Two new flappers? it's a character istic. story? were taking tea together in a nursery. The first said as she toyed with a doll: " 'I don't like Jack. He's so crude.' "'Crude? How?' said the second flapper. "'When he klssea,' the first an swered, 'he smacks.' " No Need to Hurry. ? - ?

V Hard a? It l? Sometime* to Gat Into a Flat, H? Found It Vary Much Harder to Gat Out of It. "I think," said this young man. with great emphasis on the personal pro qpun, "(hat there ought to be on the Inner side of the exit door of every flat, Just hh tjbere in required by law to bo on every exit door from a theater, a conspicuous sign plainly let* tered Kxlt.' I'll tell you why. "hunt night I called on a young lady of my acquaintance who lives In a flat and I passed a very pleasant evening lint when I tried to go away I got into trouble. The parlor In thin Mat Ik at the front end of a hall that, I should think, speaking moderately, whs ??0 feet long. On one aide of thin long hall there Ik a aoltd wall, but on the other side , there are numerous doors, opening, 1 suppose, into sleeping rooms. There is one such door directly opposite the door by which you enter this flat from the outer hall.. It was by confusing that last bedroom door with the exit door which It faces that I got lost. "There was a time when folkB used to escort their guests to the door and say good-by or good-night to thepi there, but It Keems that the present style Is to say good-night In the parlor and let the guest find his way out and that's what happened to me last night. "When I struck the parlor end oi that long hall I thought I could find my way all right. There was the long hall, with the wall on one side and that: string of doors on the other, all Just as it wan when I came in, and it looked easy. Hut when I got down tc the far end of It I'm blesBed If I could remember which Hide of It I. came 'n at, and instead of taking the door to my right, as 1 should have done, 1 opened the left hand door, and-1 " 'Hey, there! What's bitin' you? Oct out of here!' I heard somebody sayinrc. "'Of course it was the young lady's kid brother. He had been in the parlor a little while earlier in the evening and then disappeared, and 1 knew i,ow that he must have gone tc bed and that I had broken into hit room tr.vjng to find my way out. "'All right youngster,' T says tc him as gayly as 1 could, but I. shut his door as quickly as poftBlbte and made for the door opposite and got out into the hall and pressed the ele vator button for an emergency call ? and I didn't come to fully until I had got out of the house into the. open air I "There, ought to be a plainly let tered 'Exit' sign on the Inner side oi every flat house exit door." Bruno Was Vindicated. A lady leading a Scotch terrier by r silver cha.ln entered a street car, east bound, the other afternoon. The dog crawled under the seat and went tc sleep. Presently a Btout man carry Ing a market basket took the vacant place beside her. In a few blocks the woman began to get nervous. "Stoj: it, Bruno!" she cried in a shrill wills per. She had no dog permit and the situation was delicate. Presently she turned pale and. jerk ing the chain, cried : "Lie down Bruno, and behave yourself!" A moment la ter she jumped up and began to do a solo dance. The fat man beside hei stared at her in astonishment. Then an idea struck him, and he stooped over and looked at his basket. Recov ering himself with a great effort, he said: ? . "Madam, when you aro through with my lobster will you kindly return It to me?" It took smelling salts to bring the lady to herself. But Bruno was vindi cated. ? Cleveland Plain l>ealer. Gardening Secret. Said Herbert Adams, the sculptor, whose statue of Bryant everyone knows, just as all Washington Is ad miring his recently unveiled memorial fountain there: "When I first planted my garden, I thought I liked some flowers better than others; but, after you've worked among flowers awhile, no matter what kind of flowers they are, you like them. I've noticed that certain flowers grow better for some people than for others. There's William Howard Hart ? anything will grow for him! When I asked him the secret of his success, he just held up his grubbing fork. " 'It's the secret the old woman had,' he told me, 'only she used a kitchen fork. Poking around the things. It is the care and affection you give them!'" ? Suburban Life. Historic Discovery. Mr. W. T.
