THINGS I'D LIKE TO SAY.
Of course, I know you're the finest little pal I've ever had (arid ever want to have), but 1 do wish you wouldn't take our dancing so seriously. I'm not so old that I be young, you know, and sometimes I like to behave like a small boy. But you're so dead serious—aren't you 7—with your politics and sciences, and disapprove ef Eeggio when ho feels frivolous. By the way, I do wish you'd wear frocks that don't spoil the minute I put my arm round you for the first dance. I thought it most unfair of you to row me because I crushed that big sash tiling you tied round your dress last Saturday. And when I do suggest a taxi on a fino night, please don't say, " Oh, rio, I think a bus will do quite as well," in that self-sacrificing tone. If I couldn't afford a taxi I wouldn't suggest one. I don't mind looking after your powder case, but do for goodness' sake bring one with a safe fastener. Jt will take me a long time to forget, tho evening when it all upset in my pocket.
