JUST A TYPE.
The girl who charms you in her homo because of her picturesque untidiness and a certain boyish clumsiness in the way sho waits upon her ghosts becomes just, another example of the prevailing type when you meet her, shingled and short,frocked, at an ovoning party. Sho relied so on tho setting of her little ( country house with its brown-panelled walls and happy suggestion of muddied skirts and pawing dogs. Thero is another kind of woman who exudes a spirit of cheerfulness and heartening commonsenso. Her vory chairs look like placid well-contented people, and her sofa is like a friendly lap iipon which you rest a problem-filled head. Her home breathes efficiency and comfort, it is all so sensible, and smooth-running and calm. You feel she would be a tower of strength in times of trouble. And yet everything is spoilt when »you meet her outside her homo. At a school treat or children's party sho is a perfect fool, and in a largo assembly you may posisibly behold your middlo-agod friend behaving in a way that would bring scorn from a flapper. A well-chosen room improves most people in tiie same way that a frame does a picture.
