A SALON
DIALOGUE
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
"What a pity It Is," sold Betty Cham
berllu to me, "that Barry Ashurst Is
going to throw himself away on that
Perkins girl!"
"What's the matter with Ida Per
kins?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing," replied Betty, "only
she's not half good enough for Harry."
"Why don't you Interrupt the pro
ceedings?"
"How could I do that?"
"Step la between them."
"You flatterer! One would think to
bear you talk that I could have any
man I want for the asking."
"So you could and not half try."
Betty tried hard to conceal tho pleas
ure my appreciation of her powers
gave her, but failed.
"There's one man I c6uldn't"—
"Who?"
"Tho first letter of his first name
Is J."
"That's because you nover tried."
My first name Is James.
"Perhaps I will."
""What would poor Harry do In tho
meanwhile? Ho would be swallowed
op by Ida Ferklns."
"Oh, that affair could wait"
"When are you going to begin on
me?"
"You? Oh. you can wait too. Good
morning. Come and sue mo soon. I
have things to tell you."
"Very soon. Good by I"
This scrap of conversation, which I
am free to nilmlt was not concentrated
wisdom, occurred at the glove counter
of Jouos', where I met Miss Chamber
Un. The next tlmo I saw her was at
Mrs. Winters' salon, so callcd from the
brilliant dialogues that take place
there. Betty was tied to Ashurst. He
was a graduate of a scientific school
and could drown her In a pool of Ideas
seven feet deep. I was sandwiched
between two girls directly behind them.
We conversed with one another, but
had our ears open for what Ashurst
and Betty were saying. One of the
girls beside me was Ida Perkins. The
only remark that could be considered
; to refer to the couple In front of us
was made by Ida. It was this:
"Why do you bright men get stuck
in the honey of stupid girls?"
"Leave out the 'you,' and I will an
swer tho question," I replied.
But she wouldn't, and I confess I
would not have been pleased If she
bad.
I Betty made n lodgment witn asu
ant at tbat salon, and this Is the way
she did It
"I have heard, Mr. Ashurst" Bhe was
saying, "that yon aro not one of tho
kind to feel certain of anything and
that you never force your opinions on
any one."
"Confound those persons who know
everything!" grunted Ashurst
"So say I—that Is, I mean persons
who don't know as much as other per
sons who know a great deal, but aro
not constantly trying to Bbow it off."
This was a trifle mixed, but Ashurst
didn't seem to mind It
"Some of the women here make me
laugh," Betty went on. "They think
they're quite wise. Don't they tire you,
Mr. Ashurst?"
"I don't know; some of them do."
"I heard one of them Just now talk
ing about the big European war. She
said the allies had the best generals,
only they hnd been short of ammuni
tion."
"Which allies?"
"Why, I suppose she meant—Is there
more than one ally?"
I saw Ida Perkins and Belle Town
send—Belle was the other slue of the
sandwich that hail me for n middle
look at each other. Fortunately for
Betty a lady passed her, bidding her
good evening and making a remark
about the weather. So Bet was not
obliged to go any further Into the mili
tary problems of the great v??r. In
deed, It had not been her Intention to
do so. She had become Inadvertently
drawn Into it by attempting: to hold up
one of her rivals in an unfavorable
light
"Are you fond of motoring, Mr.
Ashurst?" was her next remark. "I
don't suppose you are. At least so
busy a man as you Is not likely to have
time to enjoy himself."
a gigantic manufacturing corporation.
He looked relieved that Betty should
have spared him the trouble of an
swering the question she had asked
hlni. Bet has beautiful eyes and
knows that they servo her a better
purpose than her tongue, for unfortu
nately the latter member cannot wag
without drawing on her brain.
"The reason why I asked yoa If you
were fond of motoring Is that I have a
car, and If you could spare me some
afternoon about 4 o'clock"—
"I should bo very happy," was the
reply.
"Don't yon think an Ice would cool
us? These rooms are very warm."
They arose and went elsewhere. Bet
had caught sight of Ida In rather too
close proximity to suit her.
The next time I saw Betty I congrat
ulated her on her engagement to Ash
urst. "Didn't I tell you," I said, "that
you could If you tried?"
"■What's this 1 hear about you and
Ida rorklns?'' she asked, looking at me
anxiously.
"Oh, we're engaged too."
I have never since regained the place
I occupied In Betty's good graces. I
don't see why. Surely she could not
have Ashurst and me too. Perhaps If
I had married any but the girl she rob
bed of another man she might have re
mained my friend.
