THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE * Hunting a Husband > 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 have- pint made m engagement with a friend so toniglr' It's too bad! Can't youi omt rami oi>;<; evening instead Leaving Town.

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.

"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 t ravagance."

The flower muff is just another ad junct to the picture which she makes as she trails her graceful frocks across the grass at Longchamp or sits in her victoria and is driven at not too fast a 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?

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.

(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.

Atl. 1453 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.
