WENZELL and ‘Sentimental Mary.” BIT of grandfatherly advice to Mary," began Mr, Albert Beck Wenzeli, the artist, In relating the romance of one of his models, ‘saved that sentimental young woman from & world of unhappiness, ' “It Is often said that an outsider cannot meddle tn the heart throbs of two other people, and that only those who love know what i» best for them, But therein Hes a fal- lacy. ‘Never did I see any one who thought she was as much afflicted with this leve divease as Mary, and the cure I prescribed was as effective as it would De in most cases of the same malady, But I'll tell you more when I have fatroduced you to Mary. ‘Mary was the loveliest type of American girl to draw that one can only tmagine, Not the up-to-date, faddish creature who looks like ten thousand others of her sex, but the kind of girl whose ancestors from Puritan days handed down @ clean-cut blond beauty, #0 that to look at her one felt sure of her sweetness @nd womanliness, “But fate arranged a bitter draught to mar her serenity. For one day at a Studio sho met an Austrian who immediately began a warm assault on her Qffections, His ardent pursult in true foreign manner soon proved trresistible te Mary, who beran to return his love, even though he was ailent on the Question of marriage, “‘He has never asked me to marry him,’ sald the trusting girl, “but I have @daolute faith in him and know that some day he will.’ “While the affair with the foreirner was going ony Mary's widowed mother, Who was atill a young woman, became engaged to.a man who had Interests in British Columbia, where they planned to make their home. Mary absolutely ged to leave the Austrian to go West with her mother, belleving that if remained he would marry her. A tragic scene took place betweon the two. fm which the foreigner made it very definite that althoush he wanted to marry her, he could not on account of family opposition to his union with a penniless girl. Mary came to my studio nearly crazed with grief. “Tell me what to do,’ she pleaded. ‘He cannot marry me now, and-T want @e atay and wait until he can.’ “There is only one course for you to take,’ I said. ‘Go to British Colum- @a with your parents and forget this foreigner, A man who for any reason under the gun refuses to marry the woman he loves and who loves him is made of mus “'T'll go,’ promieed the heart-broken girl, ‘but I know I shall die of love for bim.' “Once again fate beckoned Mary; but this time it held only good fortune for her. After she had been gone about six months I received two letters, @ne from Mary and one from a young chap whom she had met out there and| to whom she was already married, The gratitude of the lover that I had sent Mary from the fortune-hunting foreigner to find him In the West was absolutely boundless, “I often think that even If Mary HRN not found her fate out there, by going @way she must have realized how little she cared for the man who pretended to Jove her but who was too selfish to marry her."
