* Hunting a Husband *
NO . 7 ,-ItHE WIDOW FINDS THAT SHE IS REALLY FALLING IN .LOVE
AGAIN.
By VIRGINIA T. VAN DE WATER.
TWO days after the theater party
Beatrice received a note from
Robert Maynard inquiring If he
might call that evening
"I want." he added, "to ask you to
go driving with me on one of these
beautiful May afternoons, but I be
lieve that conventionality and etiquette
demand that I shall have called on you
before. I make such a suggestion.
Moreover. 1 count it a pleasure always
to be in your society, and I hope that
you will allow me to see you tonight.'
"I was told to wait for an answer,"
said the messenger who brought the
missive.
Beatrice was ashamed at the un
steadiness of her land when -he sat
down to pen her reply. "I might be a
Billy giri of sixteen!" sh' exclaimed
disgustedly. "A woman of my age must
be a fool to be so much excited at the
prospect of a call from a mere man."
Her answer was brief "Dear Mr.
Maynard. I shall be very glad to see you
this evening. Beatrice Minor."
Within ten minutes after she had
sent away the messenger her telephone
rang She recognized Henry Blanch
ards voice on the wire, but it brought
her no thrill.
"I am calling up" he said, "to inquire
If you are going to be at home to
night If so. 1 would like to call.'
It nevei tains but It comes down in
buckets!' thought Beatrice. "With
hosts of evenings all by myself, both of
these men hat" to ask to < ome on the
same night!"
But het voice was gently regretful:
"Oh. Mr. Blanchard. I'm so sorry! 1
have ..ust mail. ,m engagement with a
friend for tonight' it's too bad! Can't
you ccuy some oth i evening instead?"
Leaving Town.
"1 am disappointed." said the man.
"for I am leaving town tomorrow on a
business trip that will keep me absent
fora week and I hoped to see you be
fore going. I suppose it would not do
to put your friend off until tomorrow?
Do you thing ’• would be offended if
you did ?"
SHE! thought Beatrice amusedly.
Did this old bachelor suppose that ho
•was the only man who ever paid her
any attention.’ But she resisted the
impulse to tell him that he had made a
mistake in the sex.
"I'm afraid," she said, reluctantly,
"that It would not do. line's friends
are sometimes sensitive, you know. But

"Indeed I will, my child. Meanwhile
take care of yourself, and think occa
sionally of this one of your friends.”
"Os course!" replied Beatrice. "I
could not help It if I would!”
Was she really flirting with this old
bachelor? Was it sex instinct, or was
It because she did not want to let him
slip through her fingers until she was j
she had secured another riian? '
But she did not answer the question.
What was the us of analyzing one's
motives, anyway?
She found her little tasks about the
house uninteresting that day. They
bored and she kept looking for
ward to the < venlng and what it might
bring. She opened her piano and played
over some of the old songs she had for
gotten for several years, singing them
in her clear, sweet voice, and enjoying
the sound of her own tones. Robert
Maynard had said that he liked parlor
music, and that it was always a joy to
him to listen to the love songs with
which he had been familiar as a young i
man. sis late Beatrite had neglected
her music. There had been nobody
especial to plav for and sing to. Tom
had enjoyed her little talent, and that
had been one of the few subjects on
which they had not quarreled, as he
had always urged h*r to take lessons
and to practice. After his death th*
sound of the airs he loved had made her
sorry for him In a sentimental way
that brought tears to her eyes, and she
did not like tn be sad. Therefore, the
piano and her songs had been shunned
by her. But today ft xvtis different, and
she rejoiced in the fact that, though
out of practice, she could still sing.
She found the piano sadly out of tune,
and hurrying to the telephone, called
for n tuner, who promised to come up at
once

she had worn a pretty and dainty frock,
a pale violet, because she remembered
that Robert had expressed admiration
for that particular color.
"It Is a strange coincidence.” he sajd
delightedly, "that you should be wear

removed the wrappings from the su

as she inhaled their fragrance, "how

* Youth and Opportunity *
By THOMAS TAPPER.
(The following article is published
by permission from Mr. Thomas Tap
per's book just published by the Platt
& Peck Co., New York, and copy
righted by them, entitled, "Youth and
< tpportunity.")
WRITERS of books have often de
clared that it is no unusual
thing in out-of-the-way parts
of Scotland, under smoky rafters of
cottages the thatch of which is Kept
doxvn by ropes weighted xvith huge
stones, for some young fellow to con
ceive a passion for knowledge and
battle with the evil star of his poverty
to some purpose.
Mr. D. T. Holmes, in his most de
lightful volume. “Literary Tours in the
Highlands and Islands of Scotland."
’ouches on some aspects of that sub
ject. He talks of Bard MacDonald, of
Trotternish, whose croft costs him from
two pounds to four pounds per annum,
and whose only cow came near being
impounded for the price of seed pota
toes. who has hitched his wagon to the
high star of poetry.
"I heard him sing a Gaelic poem of
his own composition containing 25
verses of intricate versification," says
Mr. Holmes. He tells also of the Skye
student who rode to the seaport, crossed
the sound, rode across the breadth of
Scotland to Aberdeen, and there sold
his mount to pay the college fees.
And here is an anecdote, if not of
learning and poetry, at least of learn
ing in adverse surroundings. Two sail
ors and a shopkeeper were discussing
the subsidence of the land on Scalloway
pier. One of the sailors alleged that
his grandmother's cabbage patch was
covered by the water on which his boat
xvas floating. The big shopman, turn
ing to me, quoted the well known pas
sage of Tennyson of the sea floxving
w here the tree used to grow—"O Earth,
what changes hast thou seen." This
quotation led to a literary talk, in
which he remarked that of all the
poets he preferred Homer. "What
translator do you like best?” I in
quired. "Blackie," he replied, “as be
ing the most faithful tn the original.
But I rarely read a translation; 1 pre
fer Homer in his own Greek." This
remark, made by one whose fingers
were glistening with herring scales,
came to me as a pleasant surprise.
Later on in the day I visited his house
and saw his fine library and splendid
collection of classical books.

them he has sought, as the apple tree
seeks, to And in environment not only
those essences of food that produce a
blossom, but a blossom rich in delicate
odor; an odor which is conserved even
after the blossom disappears, to b»
transmitted in the fruit.
As it is true that back of all real cul
ture there is labor, so it is true that
the wider one's activity is the deeper
will culture become. When we begin
to seek out xvhat men have done we
find that we must travel many path
ways. As we do so the one guiding
principle that we must follow is the one
that permits us to read the man in his
works. If the writer and the painter be
True men, we shall find In the xvritings
and in the pictures, not only the men
who wrought them, but we shall find
that spirit of truth of which they were
the apostles. This Is. as we have seen
already, the essential value to us of
learning how to read environment. 1
In speaking of the Influence of college
life upon a young man, William De-
Witt Hyde has said:
"To be at home In all lands and all
ages; to count nature a familiar ac
quaintance, and art an Intimate friend;
to gain a standard for the appreciation
of other men’s works and the criticism
of one’s own; to carry’ the keys of tho
world's library' in one's pocket, and
feel its resources behind one in what
ever task he undertakes; to make hosts
of friends among the men of one's own
age who are to be leaders in all walks
of life; to lose one's self In generous
enthusiasm and co-operate with others
for common ends; to learn manners
from students xvho are gentlemen, and
form character under professors xvho
are Christians—these are the returns
of a college for the best four years of
one's life.”
This statement, which may not in
ipproprlately be called the declaration
of independence of the cultured man,
is. haitpily. no less applicable to the.
humble worker than it is to the schol
ar. or to the man of leisure In any call
ing. The boy in the office Is no less
welcome than they are to know all
lands and all ages; he has but to reach
forth his hands and the best thoughts
about them are his to read and to
ponder. By the same means and by
the same exercise of bis thoughts, he
may make art hfs intimate friend. If
he does his own work by putting the
utmost of his thoughts into it. he will
thereby know hoxv to value the work of
other men. When he has learned to
read the best books of the xx orld he
has it in his poxver gradually to change
his own world. To seek by study, ob
servation and practice the meaning of
friendship will win him friends xvher
ever he may find himself. To co-oper
’ate with others to whatever extent he
may be able will show him hoxx’ great
even little philanthropies are. If he be
not actually attendant upon the per
sonal influence of learned men in col
lege. he may observe them even more
clearly in .the university of life, of
which he is. by the very fact of his
birth, a matriculated student.
