VERY NEATLY TURNED.
Seated in a tramcar were two sweet young things who were full of the beautiful ingenuousness of girlhood. ‘ I >h, Amy, I have a frightful rip in my riding-habit, and I forgot to have it mended. Lend me yours to-morrow, will you ?’
‘Yes, indeed, dear’ (with emphasis and the utmost sweetness), ‘ but I’m awfully afiaid you 11 find it too tight; I wear a twenty-one corset, you know.’ ‘ Yes ’ (a slight but very imperative pause), ‘ I think perhaps I can get it together though I wear a nineteen.’ It was as clean cut as the stroke of a razor, beautifully given and beautifully taken. Both faces preserved their calm and placid expression, and a new topic of conversation was started almost instantly.
