Now that winter, with its long evenings, is upon us, the problem has to be faced again. Am always to be invited to the pictures, to the theatre, to the restaurant, to a dance? I have learnt by experience that no musculine soul can brook the dishon- our of being paid for by a girl. But surely, in this year of grace, she can at least pay for herself occasionally, without being Inbelled "forward "shameless," or "ungrateful"

And if I let him pay. and hand over my share later on, he suffers similar agonies of t more private nature. He thinks, however eloquently I deny it, that I must secretly despise him. Yet Inst year, when in desperation I began to refuse his generous invitations, we almost had our first quarrel.
