INTERESTS

He's been coming to fee her every Saturday and Wednesday evening for four years. Whenever the little set to which they both belong gives a party, lie takes Her as a matter of course. If there's a picnic they go together, and on Sunday nights he takes her home from church. Sometimes he comes for dinner Sunday, and they spend the afternoon reading, or If the weather ia pleasant they taJve a walk. The man is older than the girl by several years. He has a good little business In a thriving little city, and to all appearances he Is perfectly able to manage. Two years ago he tried to kiss the girl goodnight, but she told him that she was saving all that kind of thing for the man she would marry some day. FInce that he has been merely friendly. The man has a good reputation, a good position, and seems to he a sensible, practical sort of chap. There is no doubt in the world that he is very fond of the girl, but he has never asked her to marry him. And now the girl's father is taking a hand in tho affair. The other day father told daughter that cither she must announco her engagement to the man or the man must stop compromising her with his attentions. She tried to go out with other men, but that just made the Regular Caller call a little oftener, and be a little more devoted he seemed jealous, but didn't say "marry" once. Is This Ills Plan? Every one is teasinpr the girl about the man, and the other night she plucked up courage to say to him that she hated to be gossiped about, and the man said that he had been "Jollied" so much that he never paid any more attention to what people said and now the girl Is fairly desperate and has written to me to ask me what in the world to do. , She loves the man and she thinks the man loves her. But why doesn't he ask her to marry him? Her mother is dead, and she's afi-ald her father will do something disagreeable. Here's my answer: Don't be afraid your father will do something disagreeable, little girl. He can't do anything disagreeable enough to a man like that. How In the world can you love such a creature? He's Just a cautious, conceited,

Keepsakes By Ella Randall Pearce

It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the beginning of visiting hours In the Hillsdale hospital; and Doris, by taking an apparently careless, but actually carefully studied, position in her bed after having shifted the high screen just a trifle, could command a covert view of the outside corridor. Doris had no visitors. She was a stranger in the city, and her period of convalescence seemed rather dreary. That was one reason why she was Interested in the attentions given to other more fortunate patients. Her eye turned to the little ivory clock on the bureau. "It's time he was here. He's never late. I suppose he'll have an armful of flowers again. And not one for poor me!" A firm step on the tiled floor: the sound of a man's voice in greeting as a white-gowned nurse flitted by; a tall, straight figure passing the door: the glimpse of a tanned profile and thick waves of blackish hair from which the hat had been removed; a whiff of fragrance from loosely carried crimson roses and Doris sank trick upon her pillow with a long sigh. "Lucky Mrs. Merlin! I haven't seen her yet; but she should be a very nice woman to match so nice a man. 1 suppose he's her husband. Mr. Merlin, the nurse said. Oh, of course he's married." A whimsical smile twisted Doris's tips. Sweet, sensitive lips they were; and her face, rather pale and peaked just now, was charmingly innocent with a pair of luminous deep blue eyes ti:?t held a childish wonder, as though their owner was not yet used to worldly thincrs; not past tho age of puzzled questioning. Then the hair escapincr In capricious rino lets from the frilly cap was an odd pale prold. almost silvery In its shining paleness. For days Doris had watched for the coming of Mrs. Merlin's retrnlar visitor. In many artful ways sh? had manatred to catch a sound of his voice, a sight of his face. There was a growing fascination for her in this unknown personality. Of course he did not know tYiat such a person as Doris Dell existed. The next day Doris was sittintr up In pink and white neclieee when ö o'clock came. With book In hand, she drew her screen so that she could watch the corridor. Then came the elevator's sipnal the remembered footsteps, the passing f'trure. and a pink rose slipped to the f.oor. just beyond the room's sill. Catching her breath. Doris stooped to reach out for the fallen fiower.

OF. WOMEN

The Compromise By Winifred Black selfish, calculating old bachelor, that's all. There's nothing mysterious about his not mentioning marriage. He's very comfortable as he is, thank you why should he assume new responsibilities? Why set up housekeeping, at a considerable expense, when he can get all the comforts of home without spending a cent? He binds you, dear girl, by the compromise of his attention, and leaves himself perfectly froe to change his mind and marry somebody else at the last minute, when you are faded and he is tired of you. There are lots of such men in the world, but, thank goodness, there are not many such girls as you. If there were, there wouldn't be half the ringing of the wedding bells that there Is. Don't be at home when the Steady Caller calls, or If you are at home, see that somebody else Is with you, and that the somebody else doesn't go till the Steady Caller has gone, too be sure of that. Pack up your trunk and make a little visit to some friend in another town. Don't say that you're going till the last minute, treat it all very casually, and when you get there don't write, or If you do write, drop him a note and tell him you're having a lovely time. Give him a dose of his own medicine, and it may bring him to time. If it doesn't put him out of your mind and out of your heart, and don't think of letting him monopolize you until your youth Is gone and' your beauty is faded and nobody else wants you, and you haven't the heart left to want anyone else. Make Him Wake Vp. Your father oupht to have interfered a year ago or two years ago. Nobody in the world but an oldfashioned American father would think of allowing any one on earth to compromise his daughter in any such way as that. It's time we Americans learned a little common sense .from the French and the English and the Italians and the rest of the world. I hope you'll meet somebody else when you go away on your visit and have a wedding before you come back to your home town. The receipt of your wedding card might wake the Steady Caller from his selfish, calculating dream of petting everything and giving nothing. I don't believe a man like that could ever make any warm-hearted. affectionate, generous girl happy if he did marry her not if he tried a thousand years. She cuddled it to her breast ecstatically, inhalinp its delicious fragrance. "Dear little rose! Mrs. Merlin will never miss you. She has o many." Doris brushed the sweet petals across her pale cheek and quivering lips. Three days afterward, Doris was able to be wrapped up and placed in a chair on the sunliffhted balcony. Later she found Mrs. Merlin a neighbor of hers; and the two women's acquaintance began. "Here comes my daily visitor." Mrs. Merlin exclalm ?d. "Jay, come right out here. The day is ko lovely, I don't want to fro in. Ml?s Dell, this Is Mr. Merlin, my husband's brother." Her husband's brother! Doris's deep blue eyes sparkled: her pale cheeks prew rosy. Then Mrs. Merlin insisted on sharing her flowers; and her visitor was delightfully attentive. It was a happy time that Doris never forgot. Put she was to see Mr. Jay Merlin again and apain. And whila Mrs. Merlin was preparing to leave the hospital, and wondering if she should offer the hospitality of her home to this exquisite new acquaintance, strangely reticent for all her youthful naivette, Mr. Merlin was maneuvering for a chance to see Doris Bell alone. At last he succeeded. He drew near, his gaze serious, his voice confidential. "My sister-in-law tells me you expect to be here a while longer. May r come to see you then sometimes?" "I was so lonesome till I knew von both." replied Doris. She was lookimr wistfully into spaeo; and suddenly her companion clapped hi hands. "I have it the resemblance! it's been haunting m sirce I first saw your face, peeping at me from behind your screen." "My screen?" echoed Doris. f!ah!n.sr her ryes on him in a shy, rtirt!ed way. They both blushed a little. "t confess. I saw you." smiled Jay Merlin. "Didn't I drop a rose for you one day?" "Oh for me! Then I don't mind tellinc you I've kept it." A mw 7r-vocitive glimmer lighted the girl's face. He stared at her in tene reflection. "It was in New York. T was on a business trip last winter, and a narty of us went to a cabaret. The Montebcllo It was. The usual sort of show, hut there was a sextet of dancers and one. a slim little srirl with hair and eyes like yours and a look I shall never forset her! She

was like a bit of thistledown and she danced past our table, and I I don't know why, for I never did such a thin? before I reached out to catch her. And she laughed at me and threw me a flower. Miss Bell, I kept that flower." Doris was looking down at her hands clasped tightly in her lap. "Why?" she asked. "Why?" I scarcely know myself." Jay Merlin shrugged his shoulders. "I'm rather a sober chap by nature, but that little dancer got me. It was her art, I suppose. I had no wish to know the girl; but because of what she meant to me in that flashing moment- I kept her gift. And you remind me of her. Miss Pell. Of course, there's a difference." Doris lifted her eyes and made a y-ide gesture with her unfolded hands. "Yes. This whole scene is quite different from the Montebello. "And. Mr. Merlin" her voice trembled "your bit of thistledown will never dance again." He looked sharply at her. "You mean not really?" She nodded. "I was at the Montebello last winter, danving. I do, not remember you or your party, of course. There were so many. Then I came on the road with another company, and was taken suddenly ill in this place. Appendicitis, and an operation, and orders not to dance again oh, for years and years." She sighed wearily; then her eyes brightened again as they met his intent look. "I'm glad you kept my little flower," she said, sweetly. He continued to look at her, and her face warmed to the color of the roses he had jriven her that das. Then he leaned nearer and epoke softly and quickly, for a nurse was approaching. "It seems strange to mc yet. Hut don't you suppose It means something that our paths have crossed once, and now a second time?" "We each have our keepsakes," murmured Doris. Her lovely eyes clunqr to him even as the nurse wheeled her away. "That's not enough," called Mr. Jay Merlin after her.
