An Unfailing Test.

“I’ve just learned a new charm to tell whether or not a man loves you,” said the girl with golden hair. “What is it?” asked the girl with the new diamond ring. “Why, you take four or five apple seeds and name each of them for a particular man and place them—the apple seeds, I mean—on the stove, and the first one that pops is the one that loves you.”

“Humph!” mused the girl with the new diamond ring, absentmindedly twisting that piece of jewelry about her finger. “I know a surer way than that.” “You do?”

“Yes, indeed. You take one particular man and place him on the sofa in the drawing room and sit close to him, with the light a little low, and look up to him very attentively, and if he doesn't pop you know it's time to put another man on the sofa.”
