Some fashionable mansions have "wishing seats" hewn from the living rock. These wishing seats have wondrous powers for old maids and romantic-souled girls. So it was not unusual that pretty Clarice should desert the crowd around the tennis court and make her solitary way to the old stone bench. There she wishes devoutly for a lover, not such a lover as little Jimmy Randolph who was then paying assiduous attention to Jenny Grey, nor the Count Rudolph, nor Billy Hasbrouck or any of the rest of those butterflies of fashion. High up on a hill commanding a beautiful view, Charlie Benton placed his easel and got out his paint and brushes. In adjusting the easel the ground gave way and down went Charlie--easel, brushes and all. Over and over he rolled on the soft turf, come up with an unexpected bump and at the very foot of the wishing seat to the horror and surprise of pretty Clarice. Such an answer to a wish. Later Clarice's mother grew worried over the long absence of the younger folks. So she and papa started on a round of the estate. One by one they came upon loving couples. Billy Hasbrouck and his Mabel, the Count Rudolph and his fiancée, Jimmy Randolph and his pretty Jenny Gray and a half-dozen others. Each couple fell in line in the search and at last they came upon the wishing seat, and discreetly turned their backs, for there was Clarice being shamelessly kissed by the artist chap.
