tensely, deepi ning ber voice to nn im
pressive whisper, "have not at this
moment powder putts concealed in
your pocket books and elsewhere?"
There was another Bllence, so thick
thai you could almost see it, until the
Typewriter Olrl relieved the situation.
"Then there are pin eurl and pnfTs
and switches," she said, "and padded
gown. We are all more or less guilty
.f some form of fraud or deception.
We are worse than men, for nil our
frauds are small ones. There never
was a really great woman criminal!"
She said thl almost with regret, as
though it "ere something that would
have added distinction to the sc.
"How about Lucretia Borgia and
Catherine of Russia and and " began
the Girl Librarian.
"Simple forms of hysteria," said the
Schoolteacher; "their crime were all
inspired by men awl perhaps aided and

of love, jealousy or pique, but you enn
not find in the pages of history one

The girls looked rather "relieved nt
1 liia and 1be Newspaper Girl arose.
"U'c can never learn to lie as well a
men do," she said, regretfully; "1 know
.I've tried hard to become n proficient
as lots of men 1 know, hut I can't get
the style and grace that they put into
a lie."
"I distinctly recollect telling one
nbout my nge," said the Typewriter
QlrL The members groaned in unison,
and some one brought out n box f
chocolate peppermints and passed it
silently.
"Wc were averaging up the age of
the graduating clnss," went on the
Typewriter Girl, "and of course each
girl took off at least four yours."
"1 can recollect that," said the Fluffy
Olrl, who had been In the same clan.
"1 was always dreadfully bad nt fig
ures; couldn't add two and two with
out a pad and n pencil. The professor
knew this and he changed his ques
tion when he came to me and threw
out all mv calculation. lie asked
all the other girls: "How old are

"And v.e nil lied promptly nnd eas
ily, said the typewriter (jiri, "nnn ne

lege to have such n young class."
"Hut win n he came to me." said th
Fluffy QlrL "he said: 'And now, Mias
IVneiope, what year were you born
In'." I bad the answer all ready for
'How old are you?' but this new way of
putting the question called for haaty
"Yes. that was funny," said the Type

Then you got red and begun to count
with your lingers and we all knew the
struggle that you were having trying
to subtract dates. Finally "
"I blurted out a date that took me
just four years back in the ptist in
stead of forward in Ihc future, nnd it
went down on the books in that way,"
said the Fluffy t. irk sharply.
A ripple of amusement stirred the
meeting. Each girl understood how
funny this was when il happened t
some one besides herself.
"Hut." Bald the Fluffy Girl, address

the president. "You are correct. I
sustain your objection."
"I may not be soclevesat rapid cal

looked Bcathingly at the Typewriter
Girl, "bul 1 never wrote quotation my

Shakespeare and other poets."
'I Tie Fluffy Girl sat down sustained
by a thrill of horror that evinced itself
in a distinct rustle of skirts.
The Typewriter Girl blushed nnd fin
gered her lorgnette Chain nervously.
"I suppose," she began, smiling as
t hough at a childish folly!
"Suppose you tell us about that."
suggested the president. "It sounds
ns though it might be in line with the
: nbjeet of our discussion this even
ing?" The Typewriter Girl coughed slight
ly and said:
"11 as like this. We were supposed

barred a lot of theae and said we'd
have to get something newer.
"Well, one Faidny came along and
1 didn't have anything ready but 'To

cluded. So when my turn came 1 got

Thomas Moore.
"The professor said he remembered
the fines distinctly, but be thought she
was mistaken; that they were from
Walter Scott, she stammered so over
it that 1 think he began to suspect, for
after that we had to mention the poem
and the verse and he kept a record in
a book."
"Suppose we talk of some graver
crimes," said the Newspaper Oirl.
"F.ven now w are fraudulently gloss
ing over our real deceits and relating
to trivial incidents. Tot us tell of some
of the really moan tilings we've done."
The Proofreader (iirl arose witli a
look of determination. She was put
ting on gayer half-mourning every
meeting and was beginning to take no
tice, the president said.
"During the first year of my weddefl
life," she said, "I used to deceive my
husband frightfully."
"Were you found out?" anked the
Medical Student, who was engaged and
looking' for points.
"Yes," she said; "but he wa bo
geiieroiiH about it!" She railed u vio
lot -bordered handkerchief part way to
ber eyes and then took it down, "it
was about cooking," she said.
"Torn bail the funniest way f invit

graphing me at the last moment when
there was no time to cook anything.
It used to drive mo wild!
"One day one of those messages came
and the maid suggested sending to the
Uplate club for soma things. She said
she used to live with n lady who always
did this wheal she had company, ao I
sent her up and got an elaborate menu
and an exquisite dessert.
"Then 1 put the candles on the table
so tbev couldn't see very well anil I
dressed In a hurry nnd when they came
in I said they must put up with what I
had prepared andi I joked about being
ii cooking school scholar nnd all that.
You should have heard them raving
over the dishes. Tom said bachelor life
was all night, but there was nothing
like having your own home nnd being
able to invite your friends to take po:
luck. Then his friend would say if they
knew any girl that could cook like that
he would go right out andi propose to
her. The snlr.d dressing was just r.s

"Fat 1 had to confess finally one

one of the case upside down on a
spoon.
"They really are much better than
those they have nt the club." be said.
"The last I had lliere were a little
ilit esv. These I see are quite fresh."
"Then I saw oh the reverse of the
ease the club monogram and the date.
It was an aw ful moment!"
"It is always awfyl to be found out,"
said the Newapapeff Girl. "I recollect
once planning a deliberate deception
and carrying it through almost wiih
entire success. It was his fa nil that we
were ever found out."
The silence gTCW intense. No mallei
bow desperate an experier.ee the othel
girls might relate the Newspaper Girl
was good for a worse one.
"It was when 1 waa war correspond

"Oh, how exciting!" said the Fluffy
Girl. "Did you pen. trate to the Inter!
or of the island ?
"As tar ns a restaurant on the (lult
road that run' out of Havana. It was
a perilous undertaking."
"Were you attacked?" asked the
Typewriter Iirl.
"No; we were followed, but we threw
them off the scent or wo thought we
did. You see there were seven Amer
ican correspondents and I was t lie only
girl and we "ere all great chums, you
see, and diued together each evening
and talked over the day's news.
"One day Tommy Van Scoop called
in and told e nbout this wonderful
restaurant on the (iulf road, where you
got chile eon earne and rilijoles and
tomales and all those Spanish things.
"I suggested that we all make up 0
party for tba evening nnd drive out
for dinner. But he said! the dinner was
never so good "ben there was a crowd,
but if 1 would like to go he said he
would take me out there. I thought
it would seem rather mean to leave out
the others, but be said we'd get back
just as they were finishing dinner and
say we'd been off Investigating n ru

"Sparc us I be scenery." said the pres
ident ; "keep to crimes."
"We had driven for nearly an hour

t umbling of wheels behind ns and look

"Spanish peja," said t ho Typewriter
Oirl and the Medical Student at once.
"No the other live correspondents,

joke, and we'd simply have to Invite
them to go along. But he said he'd b
blessed if he'd ask them to come; thai

way. He said to leave it to him. lllttt
he'd put llu m o.T the track.

volunteered. I shouldn't wonder it
you'd iriven the whole thing away now.

"Tho never said a word. Tommy
was a beautiful liar a perfect genius
and he let bis voice break as he called
after them to please notify the papers
if we were ai rested or killeif or any
thing. Then wo went on nnd had the
dinner and drove, back to the hotel at
7:30. They were all solemnly finishing
dinner, and of course we had to act as
though we had had none. I said I
wasn't hungry; but they made Tommy
take soup three times. Then he said:
"'There was nothing in that story,
after all. Wc waited an hour. Any

"Tkcv helped hjuv. to .more. soup.

The Newspaper (.iirl sat down amid a
decided hush and the usual vote was
taken. The president rose and said,
solemnly:
