Ng. 7. THE 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, hut 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 you? society, and I hope that
you will allow me to see you tonight."
‘1 was told to wait for an answer,"
said the messenger who brought the
missive.
Beatrice was ashtftned at the un
steadiness of her hand when she sat
down tn pen her reply. “1 might be a
ei’lc girl of sixteen!" she 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."
He’ answer was brief. “Dear Mr.
Maynard. 1 -hall be vert glad to see you
this evening. Beatrice Minor."
Within ten minutes after she had
sent away the messenger her telephone
rang She • cognized Henry Blanch
ard's volte on the wlTe, but it brought
her no thrill.
“I am calling up." he said, “to inquire
If > ’’i art going to be at home to
night If so, I would like to call."
It m-ver tains but it comes down in
bucket-' thought Beatrice "With
hos'. of evenings all by myself, both of
these men have to ask to come on the
same night!"
But her voice tvH.- gently regretful:
"Oh. M F’am p trd. I'm so sorry! 1

friend so toniglr' It's too bad! Can't

Leaving Town.
I im ric ippiitnted," said the man,
“for I am leaving town tomorrow on a
busine-s trip that will keep me absent
for a tteek, 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 she would be offended if
you did .“'
SHF?' thought Beatrice amusedly.
Did this old bachelor suppose that he
was the only man who ever paid her
any attention ' But she resisted the
Impulse tn tell hint that he had made a
mistake in the sex.
“I'm afraid." she said, reluctantly,
“that It would not do. Ones 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
sure that she had secured another man ’.'
But she did not answer the question.
What was the use of analyzing one's
motives, anyway?
She found her little tasks about the
house uninteresting that day. They
bored her. and she kept looking for
ward to the evening 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
man. Os late Beatrice had neglected
hm music. There had been nobody
especial to play 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 her to take lessons
and »o practice. After his death the
sound of the airs he loved had made her
sorry for him in a sentimental wav
that brought tears to her eyes, and she
did not like to be sad Therefore, the
piano and her songs had been shunned
by her. But today it was 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
fora tuner, who promised to come up at
once
Ready for the Drama.
By the time she had eaten her din
ner, and seen the children tucked into
bed It was eight o'clock, and Beatrice
felt that the stage-setting was read)
lor the drama of the evening The visit
had assumed to her mind immense
significance. and when she heard May
nard’s ring she was conscious that she
was nervous and short-breathed as she
wondered If lie would can more or less
for her at the end of a couple of hours
of uninterrupted tete-a-tete. He look
ed, she decided, handsomer than ever
this evening Sh' had always thought
nis correct evening dress becoming a-
U the conventional dr. -s suit to the
man who has a distinguished bearing,
although it seems t” eommonize the
, boor. I haw known of cases in which a
woman nevei discovered that a man
was handsome until she saw him in his
evening clothes. Beatrice was glad that
sne had worn a pretty and dainty frock
a pale violet. he<»use she remembered
that Robert had expressed admiration
for that particular color.
"It is a strange coincidence." he said
delightedly, "thjit you should be wear
ing tonight just that shade of soft pur
pie. for as I passed Thorley's I saw a
bunch of violets that were simply
screaming to be brought to you, and
they will blend beautifully with your
gown."
"1 wore ft because I knew you liked
this color," murmured Beatrice, as she
removed the wrappings from the su
perb bunch of sweet blossoms. "Ah.’
as she Inhaled their fragrance, "how
delicious! And they are my favorite
flowers."
"I know it!" was the grave, response,
and us Beatrice raised her eyes she saw
a tenderness in the gaze fixed upon her
that made her flush hotly, and she be
gan talking rapidly of indifferent top
ics She did not wish her good times
spoiled by an untimely declaration of
affection, nor did she care to be obliged
to give a decided "yes" or "no" until
she knew her own mind and just what
she wanted
The evening slipped away quickly.
It was full of thrills of gratified vanity
for Best rice, as Maynard was one of
the men who know how to say pretty
things to women, and his admiration
for his hostess was sineeri It w as like
i lovely dream to the widow She
sang in away that surprised herself,
while Robert seemed to enjoy her and
her music even more than she had ex
pected him to do. Before he left he
told her that he would like to take her
for a drive the next day
"I keep a fast horse and trap." he
said “The) are my one personal ex

these gauzy creations are car

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * * By Beatrice Fairfax I
TO QUARREL SOME MORE.
Dear Miss Fairfax.
I am sixteen and 1 was keeping com
pany with a young man of eighteen. Os
late we have quarreled often about
some young girl. Now we are parted
and I would like to make up with him
1 love him dearly and would like to be
his sweetheart again. EVELYN
You love him dearly and want to
make up? Does this mean you are
strong enough to overcome your jeal
ousy of the other girl?
Unless you are sure of yourself and
few in love can be—a reconciliation
means only a renewal of quarrels
Tell him you were In the wrong if
you believe you were. anil are willing
to stand by it! But don't be too anx
ious, nor too humble And don't seek a
reconciliation unless you an sure you
have overcome you: jealousy.
YOU HAVE THAT PRIVILEGE.
Dear Miss Fairfax
1 am seventeen and deeply tn love
with a young man But Ido not knoyv
if he reciprocates He takes me home
whenever I attend a reception or
dance, but never makes a date. Do you
think it pioper for a young lady to ask
him to do so" ANXIOUS.
It Is your privilege to ask him to call,
but I would not appear ton anxious. He
has paid you no attention further than
o. caslonally seeing you home, and does
not seem to be verv deeply- interested tn
you. Wouldn't it be wiser to > all your
pride to your issistanee and overcome a
love that was given without any >-n

*• 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
Opportunity.")
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
down by ropes weighted with 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 w ho 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 liis boat
was floating. The big shopman, turn
ing to me, quoted the well known pas
sage of Tennyson of the sea flowing
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?" 1 in
quired. “Blackie," he replied, "as be
ing the most faithful to the original.
But I rarely read a translation: I 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.
True Culture.
These are instances of the true order
of culture. They illustrate the spirit
active In the desire to understand what
the world most prizes, and equally they
illustrate the mind and body willingly
laboring to permit the spirit to possess
the better things of life that it craves.

them he has sought, as the apple tree
seeks, to find 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 what 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 writings
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.
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 crltictem
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 who are gentlemen, and
form character under professors, who
•ire Christians —these are the returns
of a college for the best four years of
one's life."
This statement, which may not in
appropriately be called the declaration
of independence of the cultured man.
is. happily, 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 his thoughts, he
may make art his intimate friend. If
he does his ow n work by putting the
utmost of his thoughts into it, he will
thereby know how to value the work of
other men. When he has learned to
read the best books of the world he,
has it in his power gradually to change
his own world. To seek by study, ob
servation and practice the meaning of
friendship will win him friends wher- v
ever he may find himself. To co-opei 1 -
ate with others to w hatever extent he
may be able will show him how 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.
