BORN A LADY • • • The triple -chinned wOrnan with her expensive hat awry paused breathless at the end of her tirade; the police- man who had climbed, in beside -the chauffeur told him to go ahead; the taxicab conveying the bandaged man who had been knocked down peared round the corner; the croWd that had gathered like magic at the accident began to dissolve. Louise t irned a shocked face upon her com- panion. "And that was Belle Bingham," she psped. "Looking like that, and s',outing like that, and making a 1r)rrid scene after she'd just 4missed F( ream to the chauffeur to keep right ? And then rave at the policeman ier arresting her? That termagant! i\iadge, I can't believe what I saw or • itat I heard, Bell Binghari was born • lady." "No," dissented Vargatet. "She as born to the environment and tra- d tions that should have made her a h.dy, but a lady isn't born ready-made: 1 here are helps and hindrances, in- h..'rited aptitudes and handicaps, bu io the end the qualities that wi'ake a . Indy are personally acquired and cul- tivated, and sometimes, personally for- feited.. You've been so much away, 1,ouise, you're naturally startled at the change; but the rest of us have seen Belle changing. "She 'was always spoiled at home, you know, for she used to be consid- ered delicate, and she was high -temp- ered and willful. Then she vvas left an orphali early—with all that money She married unwisely, a handsome good for nothing; but he was rather fond of her and devoted to the chil- en He didn't go catty wrong - her tantrums drove him from the • houz:.

Belle's. old friends left her one by one and she took up with new ones; it first mere- ly gay and frothy, later of the 'sporty' vulgarly ostentatious kind. In their company she hardened and coragened, until at last, as you saw, she lost even the outward semblance of a lady." "It's horrible!" cried Louise. "Yes; yet perhaps for us and for our daughters it is well to realize strohgly once in a while that neither the graces, the pretty manners, the outward refinement, nor the acquaint ance with society are the essentia thing. Girls; born into frtmilies of re nement and good traditions are' like- ly to accept them as sufficient; and to think that vulgarity„violence, callous- ness, brutality, only occur among a i erent order of people. They're not snobs necessarily; life simply looks that *ay. Now I want my Jessie to understand that it isn't so. Being a lady in the real sense depends mainly on two things, self-controi and con- siderlititm for others. Whoever lets sliP. those two essentials 'is in clanger of sinking to be something very -cliff- out west now, steeped ig erent. Just as. soon as I get home I shall tell Jessie what we have seen." • "You are right," Louise agreed. "But I'm sorry, sorry!
