But I am sorry for your disappointment, for I know at your age such things are entertaining.

How would it do for me to call at Miss Allison MacIntyre's while I am out, and ask her to come up to dinner to-night?
She is a great friend of mine and knows enough about palmistry to tell some very interesting fortunes.

She can amuse young people better than any one I ever knew.

Her two nephews, Malcolm and Keith MacIntyre, came out from Louisville for a short visit yesterday, and I'll invite them, too.

They are jolly boys, and I'm sure you will find them far more entertaining than any of the gypsies.
