You wouldn't think it of Janes, she's pretty and she's sweet, but she is really very sensible as a rule. But this time she seems to be breaking the rule. Two men are in love with Jane. One of the men is highly cultivated and he has charming manners and he is rich, and he has a beautiful home full of books and pictures that amount to a good deal. He is. well. I should say about 40 years of age. , The other man is about 25 years old: he is good looking In a boyish sort of way; he is interested in baseball and football and. dear me. how he does love to dance. And hunt end fish and swim and run races, and dive from the springboard and row a boat, yes. and sail a boat, too. He is crazy about Jane, but all he can say when he tries to tell her about it is, "Gee. you look swell in that dress.” And he never reads, and he doesn’t know one linet WINIFRED BLACK of poetry—not one single line, not even the Blue Velvet Band—and he’s getting pretty desperate, for he can see with his honest clear young eyes that Jane is in love with the other young man. No. she isn’t in love with his money, and she isn’t in love with his po sition. she’s in love with the way he talks and th? thirds he says and the -Jl ary society began their observance of the week of prayer Monday with a service from 10 to 11 a. m., and services will be held at that hour through Friday.

And the bad part of it is the older man is in love with her too. but he never even mentions a wedding, no, not even an engagement ring. He says all kinds of sweet things to Jane, all about her eyes and her smile, and he writes verses to her— but he never signs his name to the verses. And Jane is getting thin. and Jane is getting pale and those who love her are worried about her. Do you know what I would do If I were Jane. 1 would tell this man who is so discreet and so careful all about the young man who is in love with me. honestly in love and I would rave Just a wee little bit about his dancing and the way he can ride— and if that doesn’t bring the dis creet gentleman to terms. I would be out the next time he calls. And the next time I would be engaged. And if he never came any more I'd have some good cries all to my self, but I'd never let him know about them. And in about six months it would all seem like a miserable dream all the waiting and expecting, and wondering, and wishing. And I would say "yes” to the young fellow with his warm heart. and his clear eyes full of adoration and I’d begin life with him and help him work up and I'd forget that I had ever imagined I was in love with a selfish old philanderer Just because he knew how to make love and because he was interest ing.
