An ornament, to Mrs. Goldsmith, did not llvo up to its pos nihilities, unless it in turn wcro dec orated with ornaments of its own; llko tho fleas on tho fleas of tho dog. Roso spent a mlscrablo half-hour worrying over theso selections of tho wifo of tho principal owner of tho show, feeling sho ought to put up soino sort of fight and hardly doterrcd by tho patent futility of such a course. All tho while sho kept ono cyo on tho door and prayed far tho arrival of John Galbralth.

But it was gono so quickly sho could nlmost havo behoved that oho had been mlstukcn. Ho didn't say much about tho costumes, but ha Mid it so promptly and adequately that Mrs. Goldsmith beamed with pride.

"I wish you'd get that llttlo Empire frock in malzo and cornflower," sho said. Td llko Mr. Galbralth to seo that, too," And tho saleswoman, now pla cated, bustled away. "This thing that I've got on," snld ROso swiftly, "costs a hundred nnd fifty dollnrs, but I know I can copy It for twenty. I can't get tho materials exactly, of courso, but I can coino near enough." "Will you try this ono on, miss?" nsked tho saleswoman, coming on tho sccno ngnln with tho frock sho had been sent for. "No," said Roso, "Just hold It up." Galbralth admitted it was beautiful, but wasn't overwhelmed at all as ho had been by tho other. "It s not qulto co much your stylo, Is, it? Not drivo enough?" "It Isn't for me," Bald Roso. "It's for Edna Luon to wear in that 'All Alono' number far tho sextette." Galbralth stared at her a inomont. Then, "Put on your Btreot things," ho said brusquely, "I'll wait" mado her look nround nt him. "That's not a consideration I'll glvo any weight to.
