Mrs. T. I don’t think you can be right. We haven’t come to that yet.
E. C. You haven’t, my dear, of course. You buy the paper because you—have to read Susan’s articles. Never do myself. Hate readin’ articles, specially by people I know. But that’s just the difference between you two and this Judesheim woman. She likes to see her name in print. And then, her husband’s a business man, and she knows the value of a good advertisement.
Lady A. I can’t believe it.
E. C. Well, we’ll ask Susan when she comes. She knows all about it. She ought to be—ah, here she is. How do, my dear?
Lady Susan Southwater (enters hurriedly). You dear people. I am so ashamed. I simply had to finish my article for next week, and it wouldn’t come.
Lady A. We were just talking about your articles. I particularly liked that last one in to-day’s paper.
Mrs. T. So did I. But I think—no, I don’t like it quite as well as the one last week. That was too delightful. So witty.
Lady S. Glad you liked it. Well, are we going to cut for partners?
E. C. In a minute. But we want to ask you about this old rag of yours. Do people pay to have their names in it?
