admiration of the beautIful sex the gay old count was never before known to make a single mistake It is 15 therefore no wonder that Paris Parisis Pans is highly amuse amused and the count deeply chagrined over over the practical joke by which the Dolly Sisters showed him that heis he s 's s so 50 wise all se n n n the ways of women as he thought he was particularly particularly when they happen to be twins It happened quite recently Andre Andr dAubigny after the performance at the where the Dollies were appearing succeeded in getting an intro intro- introductIon introduction

smiled the count it it develops the tho appetite Quite so Rosie agreed but I cant can't eat cat another thing really Precisely at that moment the little chasseur of the restaurant came and in informed andin ormed mademoiselle that some one wanted to speak with her very urgently on the telephone Excusing herself Rosie got up and followed the tho chasseur in the direction of the telephone booth booth But she did not go to the telephone Instead she met her sister who was waiting for her in a little room The sIsters were ere dressed exactly alike even evento to the rings they 1 wore sore ore on their finger fingers Quickly Rosie told what hat she sh had eaten and what hat their conversation had been to the up moment she left the count Then took Rosie's place placeIt It at the table with Ith the count It was that wonderful man Georges Baud offering us a splendid contract in South America she said in great ex- ex ex excitement Most wonder wonderful l news isn't it Count Its It's really B

the first six to arrive in m Paris this season eason It was done in a style st le worthy of the name cf the tho place and served with all the expert care of a maitre who knows his business As Ag a n matter of fact it was so sowell sowell sowell well carved und and laid out that Ro Rojo ie consumed the greater portion of it much to the tho perplexity of her host who was beginning to wonder what these Ameri Ameri- American American can girls are made of The count had Ion long lone understood that a gds a tip t r i ia a 3 fr d q ti r Y dr A o A ap aA p a y y yi ir ry o wr n ty a Y v 4 tt f wt

appalled palled to think what it would cost to support a y o e i ik k wife who would eat day alter after day like this Its amazing really really how a bit of goodnews good news Rosika Dolly with whom the count fell in love stimulates ones one's appetite and who planned the joke on him that said Rosie Kosie has haa set all Paris chuckling Just then there was the tho United States is a country where everything id is done on a large scale but buthe buthe buthe he had never dreamed that one of its beauties could have such an enormous capacIty for food t tTo i To see a young woman who confessed that her appetite had been spoiled applied by a half dozen choco choco- chocolate chocolate chocolate late eclairs devour with greatest r an 1 with Ith truffles and a W ble pal partridge with all the usua

table and and after alter hanging changing places with her sis sis- sister sis sister ter again again quickly quickly returned witha with a face that was beaming with joy The count saw her coming Instinctively he hoped there was no more good news but her shining eyes told him there was Think of it she laughed think of It Count that good Georges telephones me he has got a guaranty and andall andall andall all traveling expenses expense paid in advance Y P 1 l 1 The Dolly twins Rosika and Ya Y a n s c i as they looked at Deauville last summer Isn't it great news Ah now I must eat something really Rosie for this was the original Rosi Rosie again had only eaten an and could do justice to whatever whatever else ielse there was good on the menu This partridge was so perfectly ex- ex exquisite exquisite ex exquisite she announced that I would not mind having another What the count thought cannot be r corded ii-corded corded in this true story But he looked strangely embarrassed lIe He did not dare daro ask Where docs does it all go or What do you do with it but lie he did mumble something about the tho most marvelous ap- ap appetite ap appetite petite he had ever witnessed His amazement grew into a sort of apoplectic bewilderment bO in the course of the next hour when three more telephone calls resulted in a continued exhibItion of appetite There came caDle two plates of delicIous asparagus some mushrooms cooked in champagne right before your eyes a large dish of wild berries Derries in cream several kinds of pastry and ices some cheese and then more pastry and more cheese The counts count's face had long ceased to be red It was turning blue 1 when ben Rosie suddenly remembered it was time to go to the theater and dress for forthe forthe forthe the performance Her motor was ua a ting in m front That was a delicious little dinner she she said in parting and we might sup together after the show although I am seldom hungry then The count gasped After a dinner like this could a woman ever again agam be really hungry But you might get some more good bood goodnews goodnews news he said a little maliciously as he glanced at the tremendously long bill the waiter alter was handing him I In the excitement of the evening some of the items that made up this extra extraordinary extraordinary or- or dinner had escaped his memory but here they sere vere were all an duly the listed listed the partridges the salads and the bewildering be repetition of orders of ch cheese ese and ices and pastry If It he had hadnot hadnot hadnot not as he supposed seen her do it he would never ne have believed that anyone any woman could have llave disposed of such a ameal ameal ameal meal The total at the foot of the bill was one to have dismayed even a less thrifty soul than the count If It all an the w v s omen he admired had appetites like this he could ill III afford to entertain them very often Count well wen filled fined pocket pocket book book did not contain enough currency to settle the cost coot of satisfying the amazing appetite of his guest and he had bad to call on the manager of the tho res res- restaurant restaurant restaurant to cash a check He escorted Rosika to the theater but pleaded another engagement that would prevent his undertaking to satisfy any hunger she might feel after the show He thought he had purchased quite food enough for an evening Instead of waiting for the perform perform- performance performance performance ance at the to be con con- concluded con con- concluded concluded he went straight home to ponder over Rosika's prodigious appetite and the fact that in spite of it she showed none of the unpleasant stoutness s which usually marks the heavy eater Was it some peculiar quality In the American climate that enabled her to dispose with relish of such quantities of food And if tf she ate like this right along how on earth did she ever manage manago to reta retain n her girlish slenderness He could not understand understand and tho the more he pondered the matter the more puzzled puzzled puzzled he ho was The counts count's perplexity was WIlS cleared up and his pride humbled the next day when he received a note which said Dear Counts Count We thank you very for the delightful dinner you gaves gave s s us yesterday ROSIKA AND AW Y The count hurriedly left ParIs Paris that same day He felt unable to face the smiles that spread through h the city when it was learned how amusingly be he had been fooled by the pretty American twins When Count d dAubigny Aubigny decides it is safe for him to return to Paris his friends say the playful Dolly sisters would better watch out ont They think he be will not fail to try to give the city a new cause for chuckling by turning the tables table
