But, of course, even this did not prevent my falling in love with some one older than myself, some one quite outside of my own circle of in- timates, Almost every girl in her teens at some time falls violently in love with some remote being almost old enough to be her father—« being whom she endows with all the graces and perfections of her dream Adonis. For, after all, it Isn't that she is in love with him, this man of flesh and blood before her; it t» that ahe is in love with love, A very dif- forent matter, ‘ My especial attack of this kind came to me when I was barely eighteen, the spring I was being graduated from the Andersonville high school, And the visible embod iment of my adoration was the head master, Mr, Harold Hartshorn, « handsome, cleanshaven, well-set-up man of (I should judge) thirty-five years of age, rather graye, a little wtern, and very dignified. But how I adored him! I hung upon hin every word, his every glance! How I maneuvered to win| from him @ few minutes’ conversa tion on @ Latin verb or a French translation!

How 1 longed to help, to heal, to cure! How I thrilled at the thought of the love and companionship I could give him somewhere in « rose-embowered cottage far from the madding crowd! (He boarded at the Anderson tel alone now.) What nobler; career could I have than the biot ting out of bis stricken beart the memory of that faithless woman who had so wounded him and blighted his youth? What, indeed? If only be could see it as I saw it. If only by some sign or token he could know of the warm love that was his but for the asking! Could be not see that no longer need he pine alone and unappreciated in the Andersonvilie hotel? Why, in just a few weeks I was to be thru school And then— On the night before commence ment Mr. Harold Hartshorn ascend: ed our front steps, rang the bell, and called for my father, I knew because I was upstairs in my room over the front door; and I saw him come up the walk and heard him ask for Father Oh, joy!

During the next eostatic ten min utes, with my hand pressed against my wildly beating heart, I planned my wedding drens, selected with eare and discrimination my trouw furnished the rose-embowered cot tage far from the madding crowd and wondered why Father did not send for me. Then the slam of the screen door downstairs sent me to the window, @ sickening terror with- in me, Was he going-—without secing me, his future bride? Impossible! Father and Mr. Harold Hartshorn stood on the front steps below, talk ing, In another minute Mr. Harold Haftshorn bad walked away, and Father bad turned back on to the piazza, Ans soon as I could contro! my shaking knees, I went downstairs. Father was in his favorite rock ing chair, I advanced slowly. i did not sit down. “Wea that Mr. Hartshorn?” 1 asked, trying to keep the shake out of my voles.

After all, my recovery was rapid. 1 was in love with love, you see; not with Mr. Harold Hartahorn. Besides, the next year I went to college.
