The soft, entrancing perfumes of mingled flowers and plants met Jessie's nostrils as the light strains of an enchanting fox trot floated through the glass doors to them, “Ien't it strange that I who have waited so long, who have travelled all over the continent, should know you were the muid of my dreams?" softly asked Clyde Nelson, He .was a tall, CARTOONIST Thats something that you offer saw Now that we have 2 starl suppose We put in there these two round OS, The angles or the sides, ther we Wall razke the olker Rearks we Se Now carefully, 1. the bottom square Pul inthe marks that you see there Thal finished, Curte it upside dowr - A loy policerear from Coy Cowre Cope, 1922 (N.Y.

It waa like trying to compare a kitten with « tiger. Clyde Nelson was a man of the world. He could talk by a mere Jesture of his hand, A look meant hundreds of words, Peter Manton was an awkward, blushing school boy.

Jessie was not used to the mature man, the man of the world who makes love upon a third or fourth meeting when he really totends matrimony She was not sure of herself, She realized the charm of the older man. She apprectated the Intensity of his nature, the irresistible appeal of the man who has travelled. She must not encourage this man, she must not let him go to her father saying she cared for him. She must keep free for Peter. She must go to business, have a career, go In tor welfare work or do anything to give Peter a chance to make his way and win her, “Let's dance!" she suddenly. ex- claimed, breaking into one of Clyde Nelson's declarations, “Oh, you foxy little high schoo! girls,” he laughed. “It's really lots more fun to make love to you than it is to the too encouraging society matrons."* Monday—A Talk With Eatham 4 ° i SSS a ES
