You Inquire, "Will your excel lency have some bread V or, "Will the lady have soma bread 7" In spite of the winter you are never cold In Portugal, unless you are a corpse. You are "with" cold. In the same way you are entertainment, you tell your companion that it "makes" dark. If In speaking; of her husband a wife says he is a "tame" man, she merely means that be is a man of peace and justice. The word "house" m4ns more than with us. Your buttons share your own privilege of living In a house. The button holea are called "houses" of the bottons. The square on a chess board are also "houses." You don't say. "I'm going to shave." You say, ' I'm going to 'do' the beard." Neither do you aay on the way to . the barber's, "I'm going to get my hair cut," but you say. "I'm golog to cut my hair." W hen you are in Portugal you have I twenty lingers, but no toes. If you want to make a distinrtion, you aay. "Fingers of the hand,' or "Fingers of the foot." In stead of telling, the servant to eet the table. you tell her to "put" It. When you go to the theater, you "as.- 1st " You mean that ou are there. Residents In flats who meditate taking a holiday in Portugal will be relieved to hear that no one plays the piano there. They merely "touch" it. Neither do they ring the bells. They "touch" them also. But they "play" stones, meaning that they throw them; and a ship at aea "plays" when It pitches and tosses. Be careful how you tell your landlady that you Intend to dine out. or ahe may think that you Intend dining "outside," I. e.. in the garden. In answer to the kind In quires of your friends, don't say that you are well; say that you are "good." A "sleeping" bridge means a bridge that bi Immovable mot a draw-bridge).

You know Agnes la my dearest friend. 1 She always tells me everything well, al most everything and I always tell her everything well, almost everything and we made a compact that we'd never flirt with each other's men, that is, the men ! we really liked and whom we had reason to believe liked us. Well, of course, I don't care a lot about Johnnie, and goodness knows be probably doesn't care much for me why should he? ;I think I'm awfully homely. Sometimes at least I think I am by that mirror over the mantel piece In Cousin Anne's room but I should have thought Agnes might have seen that I liked him a good deal, and that he waa crazy about me, and not made such an idiot of herself that night. Why, the way that girl behaved waa sim ply disgraceful. She bad on that black and gold gown that is made la such a way it doesn't look as though it had anything to It but a hem. from a little distance. She sat beside Johnnie on the sofa and I must say I waa suiprlae at even Agnes I heard every word she said and, although she only talked about the Meek mans' theater party and the weather, she did it in a regular sneak way.

She's awfully keen about him and thinks he'a very much in love with her. though privately I can't ee It. I believe if I gave him a chance oh. well, of course, ha may prefer her. Agnes is pretty good looking, though I don't care for that kind of a figure niseif. The day after she had behaved so out rageously she came around to ee me and actually had the nerve to say, jokingly, she had noticed how I had flirted with Archie the night before. She said be was such a nice boy. She said: "Mr dear, for that my room looked lik a chorus girl's. 1 told her that perhaps It did, but hers Agnes netdn't think 1 Jon l notice her be- generally looked the same way, except that 1 ft I. WsSMl by me goodness sake, why don't you play around with htm a little? I'm sick and tired of him, and the poor fellow naturally feels pretty blue about It. I'd be really obliged to you if you'd be kind to him and take him off my hands a. little." j I grinned. Who would have thought I could get such a rise out of Atnes! I guess she's deeper than I thought. She was iiv my room and I will admit it looked a trifle upset. One can't change one's clothes in an awful hurry a number of lim-s and have one's surroundings look immaculate. I tried to fix It up a little by putting some shoes and slippers behind the door, but found I had already put some hata there. I was trying to think of some thing neat to say to her in regard to her actions' with Johnnie, when she observed hers waa more like a real hard working chorus girl's. She said coldly that she thought a pitch fork would be of great assistance to me and offered me ten dollars for my lavender satin dresa that cost a hundred and twen- i ty-flve that she had Just fallen oyer. 1 elmply looked at her. I said, although I was a little hard up and she knew It, I wasn't quite as easy as that. I said I wss quite willing to make a little money, however, and I bad re ceived an invitation the day before to Mrs. Vanderbllllon's dinner, and I would allow her to look at it for a dollar and smell It for two dollars. She said, thank heaven she hadn't been asked, as dinners like that tired her to death. I told her they were going to dunce afterward and she could have had a good rn 11, en. We haven't spoken since.
