Just call her hand some time and see if she isn't bluffing. You see, It's this way. The girl with a pose figure out she isn't attractive enough in herself to hold the attention and admira tion of those she meets, so she ' surrounds herself with a fletlonary atmosphere of position, money snd Influence, in the hope that some good catch will be daisied into proposing. She apes the clothes, manners and pleasures of the rich. The one great fear of her life is that she will some day forget herself and be natural. "I met the girl with a poae back In my little old home town In Ohio," said the Bachelor, remlnlscently. "Her name was Marion. She blew Into the place one sum mer day, and by the slender thread of natural acquaintanceship she claimed the attention of one of the most popular girls In town. She was ultra agreeable, con veying to every one the impression that meeting tflem was the aim and object of her existence. She referred constantly to 'our home in the country' and 'our sum mer place on the lakes," but always with the sad mystery ot a possession passed and gone. "Before many moons Marlon was well to the front at all social gathering of the elect. I was the first to fall for her exclu sive air. . I admired her for her fortitude in adjusting herself to her new and re duced circumstances so gracefully. "Whenever I called Marlon's poor, ner vous little mother looked half starved, but she stuck to the (hip and carried out the campaign as planned by her daughter to the last letter. "One morning, late In the winter, I called at the office of a friend just as Marlon was leaving. There were Unmis takable traces of tears on her face, and. of course, I demanded an explanation fronf the man In the office. Reluctantly he told me Marlon w-as three months behind In her gas bill and that the company ha threat ened to turn off her heat. . "In a few day the storm brake. A de termined milliner, less forbearing than hi fellow had encamped on Marlon' front door tep. refusing to leave until hi bill we paid. The rumor flew, aa rumor are wont to do in small towns, and soon a steady stream of tradesmen were beselglng the house. The following, facts hastily de veloped: "Marlon delicate little mother tewed from dawn until far into the night for corn firm in the city, but kept the fact a secret from her daughter's fashionable friend?, who always saw her dignified and smiling in her on black silk dress.
