"I think I'd like to see myself in a regular evening gown," she say, wistfully. "I am sorry I can tell you nothing," says Mona, shaking her head. "I was never in this wood before; I know nothing of it." He returns her smile in full,—very full. "I confess it doesn't help me at all," he says.

"There were moments, indeed, when I believed in you; but five minutes ago, when you flung me over so decidedly, and refused to have anything to do with me, I lost faith in you, and began to think you a thorough-going coquette like all the rest. How I wronged you, my dear love! I should have known that under no circumstances could you be untruthful." Now, Mickey's idea of "raal grand" scenery is the kitchen fire.
