The grate was Myra’s. | “Yes,” replied Myra, “but I think they are dangerous.” “Because of the sparks?” innocently demanded Lydia. | “Well, yes, it you use the word ‘sparks’ in the old-fashioned sense.” | “Gracious!” exclaimed Lydia. “I had no such thought. But why should they be dangerous in that way?” “Simply,” explained Myra, “because | a grate fire is so conducive to sen- | timental dreamings that I never knew | 8 man and a woman to sit down betore | one but straightway they would fall | to romancing; and if they were young ! and unmarried ten to one they would | be persuaded, by the subtle and per- Ilnulve influence of the fire, to ex- | change vows, or to do something equal- % | 1y foolish.” “How absurd!” laughed Lydia. “Did you ever happen to know of such a case?” “Indeed I did,” replied Myra. *“I | was thinking of Irene Leighton and Clive Wheaton when I spoke. Of ! course they were both of a sentimental | nature, and they were a bit smitten with each other before he made his | first call, but at the same time I don't | believe he would ever have proposed | to Irene if she had not seated him | before a beautiful grate fire upon ‘that first evening.” “Dear me!” Lydia drew nearer to the dangerous flames. “Do you mean to say that he fell into the fire, speak- ing metaphorically, the minute he sat down?” “Oh, I don’t suppose he proposed instantaneously after taking his seat, , but he is excessively literary, and he began by recalling various scenes in | his favorite novels where the hero and ;| heroine had talked their affairs over , | before a fire, and then he asked Irene whether she had ever read the ‘Rever- ies of a Bachelor.’ " “And she had?” breathlessly de- manded Lydia. 5| © “No, she hadn’t,” went on Myra. “So he told her all about the book and how the hero of it was a lonely old bachelor who was accustomed to sit before his solitary fire and console himself for the lack of a real com- panion by some creature out of his | fancy and out of the ashes. Then, of course, Clive went on to talk about his own dreary existence and to tell how he had not even a fire for comnanion- ship, but that he had a picture of a happy newly wedded pair sitting be- fore a fire and planning their future together. This was the poor man’s substitute both for a fire and for ll wife.” | “And of course Irene couldn’t re- sist remarks so touching and original,” 4| | vut in Lydia. “She couldn’t! When he went home | | | that evening they had already planned | fd| ' on which ‘side of their living room H| they would have the grate and whether K| | they would burn coal or wood.” { “That was lovely,” sighed Lydia. | “Put don't you dare tell me that the | cold glare of day or the sight of the | ashes in the grate caused her to re- pent the next morning.” “Well, it she repented she never % | admitted the fact,” declared Myra. 2| “for Irene, with all her sentimental- ! ity, is a girl of pluck. Just the same, | T am quite sure that if she and Clive | had sat down before a gas grate on | that first evening I should never have | been invited to act as bridesmald next month.” “But I think it was his knowledge of literature that fanned the flame of her fancy,” mused Lydia, as she me- chanically took up the poker and began to stir the fire. “It's so unusual in these days to meet a man who knows anything about books or who could recall a single heroine who had ever been wooed before a fire, so I'm not surprised that Irene was fascinated. It Clive had sat down before her fire and begun to talk about insurance or real estate I am sure that Irene would not have accepted him even if he had followed up such a conversa- tion with a proposal.” “Perhaps not,” admitted Myra. “But I do believe that it was the fire that dia it” “What kind of dress did Irene have on that evening?” demanded Lydia. “You know that costume has a great deal to do with such situations, and it she wore the kind of gown that lends itself to firelight and if she sat near enough to the blaze so that her fea- tures could be ‘illuminated by the fit- ful flame’ as the novelists put ft, why, I can easily understand Clive's quick surremder.” “I don't know anything about these * | details,” laughed Myra. “I only know that the fire was the matchmaker.” “Well,” declared Lydia, “I am go- ing to ask father to have our gas grate | | changed to a real log-burning love persuading fireplace and then be care- ful who sits before it."—Chicago Daily News. <] [ 2} Q ] Diet for Statesmen.
