"Would you expect me to wait ou the

"I think you'd have to. when I was

with some hesitation. "If I were right

"I wish I were clever."
The woman was charmlugly dimpled
wore a French gown was the mistress
of a luxurious establishment and waa
dispensing tea to afternoon callen In
cups of prleeleat faience says the. New
York Herald.
"Women who write" had been the
subject on the tapis and the remark
was a delicate compliment to the wom-
an to whom she banded the tea. Fhe
was a successful writer successful to
the extent of making good Income
a the fruit of unwearied Industry. She
had never known the delights of dia-
monds or her owu carriage or a box
at the opera. Hbe sometimes spent a
hard earned $5 for drive but there
was neither luxury In the carriage nor
awlftseta In the steeds and she was
coiikcIoii all through the drive that
when she went back to the office ahe
would write something about the coun-
try In the spring or the flotsam of fall
foliage and flowers w ith which the sub-
urban resilient could decorate bin house
and table.
If she took a 1 seat in the opera
houae she rarely lost herm-lf complete

liked to do because skeletons of para

the stalls as well as on the stage and
a thousand other thing for the next
day's paper flitted through her mind.
tine never had a French gown; on the
contrary ahe walked ten blocks and
climbed seven stories to find a dross-
maker who would make though at the
aame time mar her one gown for f 10.
Her modest bouse was pretty and ahe
was even quite famous for her petlies
aoupers. at which one sometimes met
eminent and always delightful t.eople
but only herself and her one maid knew
at what cost of perspiring brow and
smutched fingers sr.d aching bark thoae
dainty little dUhe were evolved.
So there was alniot reverence In her
tone as ahe replied:
".My dear you are the clever woman;
you are far more clever thau George
Kllot. The really amurt woman I not

rode pudding thrown In now and then.

where the rrown wa found waa a most
curious one and the clrcumslaneei

ftuehler scraped away a portion and
could hardly belbve his eyes when t
perfectly formed grape leaf made ol

work of removing that object from lit
