A GENTLE | REPROACH.
Telling Retort of the Lamblike, Violet
Eyed Beauty.
There is a certain young woman wh
is beautiful, with that childish, wistful
lunocent looking, violet eyed beauty
which reduces one-half the feminine
world to tears, the other half to utter
ly helpless rage. We all know
type, but it is seldom glven us to see
It in such perfection, We usually as
sociate It with a lamblike, appealing
mentality that permits itself to be rid
den upon-—as soon expect a wood violet
to turn and rend you.
A short time ago she
a woman's luncheon and got herself
up for the in a way that
made the result of her efforts a thing
not easily forgotten. She arrived look
ing so lovely that there was little sald
among the guests for a few moments
after ber entry into the room. Perhaps
she felt the silence. At all events, she
turned to the woman standing nearest
ber and said in a childish volce, with
ever such a little lisp and pretty south
ern accent:
“How well yo' are lookin’ today!”
It was a well meant civility from a
young woman to an older one, who
seemingly was unable to accept it as
such and put up her lorgnette, sweep
ing the speaker from top to toe. What
she saw was enough to disconcert a
younger and prettier woman than her
self, but even so one finds it difficult
to justify her next move.
“Wish 1 could say the same for
you,” she returned, closing her lorgnette
with a snap.
One or two of the guests were
friends of the pretty woman and al
most stopped breathing In order not
to miss what they felt sure would
come—and it came. The pretty one
ralsed her eyebrows alightly, then
sald, with an air of gentle reproach:
