Only a few months before she had been ns unknow n to anyone outside her own home town as a “violet by a mossy stone.’’ Now, when she tucked her beloved violin under her chin, she knew she was giving joy to friends who numbered into the thousands. As they reached the top floor she glanced quickly at her companion. His expression was glum and there was a heavy frown on Ids f'orqpead which he made no effort to hide. “You needn't wait for me, Robert, if it is going to make you late f, the show,’’ she said in u low tone as they went down the corridor. ”1 don’t mind being late,” he an swered quickly, “only I hate to see > -u drugging up here two or three nights a week when there Is no need of it.’’ Celia made no answer as she opc-ned the office door. She went over to the desk and received a large batch of mail. Since her radio debut she had received many wonderful letters, pleasant notes of appreciation from all sorts and conditions of piniple. One handwriting in particular she had found herself looking forward to each week, ever since the first letter had come, six months before, In which Sydney Armstrong had made himself known from a lumber camp in Michigan as one of her most appreciative listeners. Today his letter had -tno, and a large package with It LU picture, she knew. At his request she had sent hers the week before. There was no time to read It now, so she placed everything In her folio and, opening a heavy-padded door marked “Studio—Silence,’’ went Into tl » next room. It was several hours later tlmt they sat In u restaurant down town (Vila’s lovely, splrituelle face looked very beautiful with the glow of the plnkshaded candles upon It. Robert watched her with admiring eyes. ‘‘Celia," he said suddenly, “why won’t you make up your wind? Mother is going to Italy In a couple of weeks and I have told her we will go with her." Celia looked at him with startled eyes. "See,” he contluued, In a low tone, “I bought you this today." He opened a small leather case and displayed a magnificent diamond. “Oh, Robert,” said Celia, distress on her face, "what made you do It? 1 told you I couldn’t. I love my work too much to give It up.” “Look here,” said Robert, quickly, ns he dropped the leather ruse back in his pocket, “I don’t believe it is your work. You’ve something else on your mind and It makes you feel uncertain. We'll leave It until Friday night. I'll meet you outside the plant. If it’s ‘yes’ we’ll go to Italy. If it’s the other thing I’ll go with mother anyway." In the quietness of her room Celia curled up in the sleepy-hollow chair and took the package of mail from her folio. She took out the Michigan letter and the large fiat parcel and unfastened the wrappings of the letter. Yes, he looked just ns she had known he would—broad-shouldered snd altogether splendid. Then she opened tho letter. Instead of the usual friendly words of greeting she read the following: "Dear little Radio Sweetheart—All these months that you have been sending your sweet messages through space have you not felt the lore I was returning to you through the same route? Here In these lonely woods you have brought to me memories—memories of my mother playing In the twilight when I was a mere lad. And ns time has passed I have had dreams, wonderful ones; the vision of you sharing life with me here in my bungalow. I am sending you a small snapshot of It. “You cannot see the beautiful lake it faces nor the tall ‘murmuring hemlocks’ that surround it. The living room is lined with books and my mother’s piano stands In the corner. If you play her favorite ‘TYaumerie’ next Friday night I shall know it is an answer to my love and shall leave the next day to stay East until you ora ready to return with me. Of all your vast audience on that night you ran be sure the most eager t» 'listen in’ will be— "‘SYDNEY ARMSTRONG."

CLARK Washington.—A not infrequent question In Washington Is "Who writes the President’s speeches?" This question In a way is what one might call a slam at the President of the United States. The question is not asked today with any more frequency than it was asked in the past, for seemingly a multitude of people believe that no President of the United States writes his speeches. The answer to the question Is: “The President writes his speeches.” Now, some one may take exception to this answer by saying that It Is not

very much.”

A bright flush sprang into Nun’s cheeks, and she turned her trustful blue eyes straight toward his own. “Oh, Sir John,” she smiled softly, "you are offering me a great honor. I—I hardly know what to say. Your friendship for me, the hundred and one lovely little tilings you do for me, your constant care and thoughtfulness have' been the sweetest attentions 1 have ever bad.” She gazed affectionately at him. "I hardly think any younger man could have a tenth of the understanding that you have, and that means so much in happy marriages." "1 feel sure I can make you far happier than some young, thoughtless culi who might continually he stabbing your so sensitive spirit. I want you to .spread your wings and grow big.

tradicted her she stopped him with a hand laid softly over his. "I will marry you,” she said, '‘aad try to become exactly what you want me to he.” Sir John, ceufiawd fer a fleeting second by her awift oensiderallon and answer, stooped swiftly and pressed Ids lips to each of Nan’s pink palms.

Ne President ef tke United Staten could afford to tdlew kla general addresses to be written by another perton. The United States never has hud a president whose style of writing was not knowu to many [ample before ha entered on ottlce. If he should depend upon others to give rhetorical flourishes to his addresses the fact would be discovered Instantly. It Is Just us hard to counterfeit a style ns It Is to counterfeit anything else. No two men ever lived who wrote alike. It would be a difficult task for anyone to Imitate Die writing style of Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Cleveland was picturesquely ponderous, Colonel Roosevelt was picturesquely nigged, and Mr. Wilson was severely classical. Any attempt of a supposed writer to fool the people with Cleveland, Roosevelt or Wilson matter would have met with disclosure Instantly and the same thing in a general way can be said so far ns the subject concerns other Presidents. It Is true that sometimes phrases are attributed to the coinage of this President or that President when the fact Is they had nothing to do with their coinage. A little study of the thing will show that the attributed matter never appeared In the writ Ings or the addresses of nny PresidentOrigin of Famous Saying. Take, for Instance, the famous snyi Ing “Perdlcarls alive or Ralsull d?nd I" which generally hns been accredited I to Theodore Roosevelt This expression was used at the time that a United States consular agent had been j kidnaped by a North African chieftain and. the United States was determined to rescue the official even If they bad to kill tho man responsible for Ms ab-

"I proiulac »*i let yan know,” said Nan, with aaorlaos ayas, “If any othar love capable of Jeopeedlaing year happlness comes Into i*y life. And I alsa want you to know that my answer to you now would be the same were yon us poor as- as I am.” Sir John laughed. “Splendidly said. Nan. Now," he added more lightly, “shall we lunch, then drive down and have a ring fitted? I don’t want a long engagement. May I send the nn nouncoment to the papers tonight?" Later, when they stepped into the great jewelers on Fifth avenue, a dozen clerks would have gone forward to attend Sir John, hut It was his nephew, learning the business from the counter up, who hud that privilege. “I have long wanted you to meet this nephew of mine. Nan,” said Sir John, performing the introduction, and then watched the meeting of his flan eee and his handsome nephew. Their glances met and clung and their hands drew apart with a swiftness of move ment that sent n sharp pain through Ihe heart of Sir John. Then Nan turned her startled, bullied glance upon him and be responded to the si-

lent appeal.

Events piled up rather quickly after that first meeting. Sir John managed, first, with the selection of many wonderful bits of Jewelry for Nan, to bring the two young people together. Then there were cozy dinners at his own glorious home on Bark avenue. And though these Intimate hours John watched something growing between Nan and tils nephew. Their glances seldom met now, and Nan never permitted a moment alone with the

younger man.
