Woman versus 

 Mystery 



(Continued from last week.) 

 Well, as I was saying, I was motor- 

 ing past the Hotel and was espied by- 

 two male earth beings, one an acquaint- 

 ance and the other a stranger, but he 

 now thinks there are stranger things 

 than him. A little later my "saluted" 

 friend telephoned me that his friend 

 wanted to meet me. Perhaps the two 

 empty seats in my machine looked good, 

 but nevertheless I did not feel inclined 

 to be sociable, and still did not want 

 them to know how impolite I really 

 am; I stammered and giggled for a while, 

 and wished I did not know how to 

 talk over a telephone, and finally said 

 it would be a pleasure to meet any ac- 

 quaintance of his. Well, the little 

 party was arranged. The next thing 

 to do was for me to get "dressed up;" 

 I got all decorated up in my best, like 

 a battleship for inspection day, and if 

 I looked like I felt, I was certainly 

 some comic valentine, of the funniest 

 type. At a long range from the mirror 

 I was not the worst possible to look 

 at, but at a close glance, oh, dear me, 

 my enthusiasm went dead. But, thinks 

 I, this is no time for a funeral, but — 

 it's coming later, if I live through it.
