Young Girl's Terse Comment on Youth Short and Very Much to | the Point. They were young and happy and well dressed. When they climbed on the car, two men rose to give them seats. They had a great deal to talk about, and their conversation was very interesting in its absolute disregard of things serious and important;' and its apparent satisfaction with itself, the Indianapolis News remarks. Very few conversations are entirely satisfactory to themselves. There may be a lack of understanding or symptoms of being bored on the one side, or limitation of expression or tiresome garrulity on the other side. There was perfect understanding, no limitation of expression and nothing to be bored about in this particular conversation. And It was very easy to understand. Perhaps it would not be fair to tell about everything they said, and it was nobody’s business anyway. It really was what they did not say that was important and worth telling. The one in the midnigtt blue suit trimmed in monkey fur was talking about somebody, very properly » young man. “He writes the craziest letters,” she said, “all about war and politics.” And the other one, who had on a plumcolored broadcloth—plum is & very expensive color this -year and therefore very popular—the other one sniffed and took out her vanity box and mirror to see that she had sniffed none of the powder off her nose. “Oh, well," she replied, “he’s Just as happy as if he had good sense.” Truly, it was a marvelous way of disposing of things like politics and wars, and so reasonable and satisfactory a method to them that it made the rest of ug, who were reading the papers and wondering what on earth we were going to do about everything, feel very much ashamed of trie young man who wrote the crazy letters and a little foolish mid ashamed of ourselves.
