A MODE oe Now Isn't He Out of Luck? Dear Miss Grey: I have fallen des- Perately in love with a young lady, but am handicapped in the pursuit of her smiles by the unhappy cir- cumstance of not having the honor of her acquaintance, This is, of course, the immediate difficulty. Boarding at the same crossing, we have ridden to town together on the same street car almost every morn- ing for a period of three months, or rather, she has fidden as far toward town as a transfer point connecting with the University district. I am certain she is not entirely unaware of my existence, altho the Satisfaction afforded by the pro- longed gaze with which she ocea- sionally favors me is somewhat mod. erated by the fear that her notice of me may be coerced by the intensity it 1 -in a stare. Observation has persuaded me that ‘this girl is of a rare type and one to which I am keenly susceptible. Pfo borrow a phrase from “Twenty- Six,” which, by the way, happens to be my age—I should the “girl of my dreams.” By listening in upon her conversa- tions with associates and otherwise exercising my curiosity (and bad It seems as though “Mi eastles, which, I am afraid, will come tumbling down some | I will admit that some girls and married women do have (of my admiration manifesting itself | y she were!
