I exelaimed when I met Barâ€" ry the following afternoon prompt'g] at five o‘clock at the place: whi he had chosen. It was one of thoge charming little restaurants which ate so popular in New York and whose very atmosphere inspires intimate conversation. â€" Outside a thin rain had been putâ€" ting forth a purposeless performance with the result that the street, which I glimpsed through the window, was covered with a scraggly piece of windâ€"tossed veiling which against the edges of the buildings, became, in turn, gray blotting paper. I ‘slipped into the narrow cushionâ€" ed bench which ran along the wall and he reseated himself beside me. The waiter brought tea and an asâ€" sortment of pastry and then disapâ€" peared at a nod from Barry. "It‘s so cozy here!" I declared, busying myself with the tea things! and remembering to give Barry cream instead of lemon. I spoke adâ€" miringly of the potted geraniums, the gay curtains of blueâ€"andâ€"white checkâ€" ed gingham and the highly décorated tables, which were unoccupied, on acâ€" count of the inclement weather and the lateness of the hour, most peoâ€" ple preferring their, tea at fourâ€"thirâ€" ty. For some reason Barry did not respond to my enthusiasm. He wore an absorbed expression and his tea remained untasted. * "I won‘t offer you the proverbial penny for your thoughts," I continâ€" ued. "because I know ‘how musicians scorn anvthing so mundane as money, but I will give you a piece of this delicious French pastry." _ "Listen, Sallie," began Barry, still unable to enter into a gay humor, "I might as well tell you what‘s on my mind. I kn 11 about your unâ€" happy situatich. made Ellie tell me. You don‘t minhd my knowing, do you?" he asked, anxiously scanâ€" nine my face for an answer. "I hate for vou to bother yourself with my troubles." I fended. That Fllie had confided in him only from the kindest motives in my behalf I was certain and yet I disliked himl knowing about the events of the past summer. & "My dear, my dear," he was sayâ€" in@, "don‘t you know that your trouâ€" btes are mine?*â€" I must tell you then hew verv,. very much I love you. When I first saw you that night at Monte Carlo you fulfilled all my dreams and all my desires. . At last I had found YOU anly to learn that you belonged to another." . For a moâ€" ment he was lost in reminiscence, "hut that didn‘t keep me from caring. I tried to erase you from my life. ind knows I did, SaNie, but I couldn‘t, I couldn‘t! I decided I would rather be in love with you and never possess you than to have, perhaps, the whole affertion of any other woman. I would be satisfied with .expressing my love for you in my: music," his dark eyes burned with emotion, \"I wnuld go along, like Dante with my ideal ever before me, and like Beaâ€" trice, you would be my guiding star â€"my inspiration!" ; .

I demurred when I felt that he was waiting for an answer. "That hasn‘t anything much to do with the subject," he startled me by saying, "just because you took part in a ceremony which was instjtuted in the beginning to protect the propâ€" erty rights of children, I suppose you think that ties you, irrevocably, to a man regardless of his neglect or whether or not he lives up to his part of the agreement." I gasped at his modern viewâ€"point of matrimony beâ€" cause I felt that my marriage vows were very sacred. ~"In my opinion," he concluded, "he has sacrificed the right to any consideration in the matâ€" ter." "But I really don‘t think things are as bad as they look between him and "The flapper in Birmingham?" he finished for me, "but that isn‘t the point I‘m making. Whether he is inâ€" fatuated with this girl or not doesn‘t of itself create an issue.. The fact that he has wounded your feelings and given you cause for unhappiness is what greatly matters. That he fails to cherish and protect your love, as if it were a paecious jewel, and that he has ceased fio appreciate your beauty and charm gre transgressions for which he should \never hope to be forgiven! You ardn‘t thinking of ever going back to him, are you Salâ€" lie "I hadn‘t thought of doing anyâ€" thing else," I replied frankly, "after all the gossip has blown over." _ "You can‘t do it, you can‘t," heâ€"deâ€" clared with vehemen‘f decision, "whatâ€" ever you decide to| do don‘t permit yourself to even think of reconcilia-‘ tion. : Can‘t you see that if he’g,i capable of neglecting you once he‘ll do it again at the slightest provoca» tion? Oh, I haven‘t any doubt that he cares for you in his own way," he answered the question in :â€"my eyes, "but it isn‘t sufficient!" he quickly added, "you being you and so absoâ€"| lutely sweet and lovely! You should be married to someone who underâ€" stands your artistic nature and your sensitive spirit. You cannot exist on husks of this deésultory affection, for a temperament such as yours deâ€" mands unstinted devotion." I sipped my tea that he might not read my thoughts whichâ€" flew back to the summer which, for me, had passed so dully, with Curtiss either vccupied with his business affairs. or surreptitiously meeting Letitia Evâ€" ans. â€" Grievous . thoughts flashed through my mind. Suppose Barry were right in his estimate of Curtiss. He..was voicing, in different words, Ellie‘s identical opinion. Could it be possible, I asked myself, that Curtiss }mmttoliveuptohilhighiduhht couldn‘t? That after all he possessâ€" l ed frailties of character like so many other husbands? . That he was not 999 | s:O t & **4, C§toJ t a * t \I i r | s : | h | .“ ’,') cCn Â¥ impeccable? â€" Pehaps | medio¢re? Could it be possible that he was not faithful? No, no, no, a thousand times, ‘no! Although he had enterâ€" ed into this flirtation with Letitia Evans I knew in my heart of hearts that, if he would, he could still offer some reasonable explanation of his behavior which would restore him to the pedestal which, in spite of everyâ€" thing, he still occupied in my estiâ€" mation. h With these thoughts of Curtiss tugging at my heart, I suddenly felt that I almost disliked Barry andI knew too, that it was because he had spoken disparagingly of Curtiss. : "I don‘t think you should criti¢ize him so severely," Iâ€"flashed up at him, "it ian‘t ethical," I stammered trying to find the right word, "under the cirâ€" cumstances," I continued, "and cerâ€" tainly most unbecoming!" TOMBSTONES WHICH ‘HAVE NO MEANING _I expected him to be embarrassed at my reprimand and felt that he would at least apologize for his outâ€" spoken manner. ; : Neither the quick nor:the dead, obâ€" serves the. Nation‘s Business, â€"have been overâ€"looked in the gratuitous foreign judgments of our soâ€"called "machine made" civilization. As a case in point it cites the critiâ€" cism of a British visitor who had this to say of one of Washington‘s cemeâ€" teries: + "Monotony in the air, the slope, the trees! High on the highest fir sang a mockingbird, its note dulled by the air. + § "I looked around at the grey slabs of stone. The stoneâ€"cutter had not put his heart into the wor’.r ‘Maâ€" chineâ€"helped he had cut them to order. There was no sign of beauty there!â€" only monotony and the massive square stones. "My mind harked back to the ivyâ€" colored tombs of an English churchâ€" yard before a Norman door, surâ€" rounded by laurel hedges. Here and there old letters appeared in the gaps of the ivy. . ; . "I remembered the church yards of Italy, where the cypress rose and tombs were artists‘ work; where the stoneâ€"cutter had taken interest in his work, and had given his best to those that were then but a memory. "I had a vision of barren plains and hills on many of which stood out high white walls against the Spanish skyâ€"a reminder of those that lay buried within, or a demand to man, to make a short pilgrimage up the hill to enter by the small wrought iron gate and pray in the burning sun. But visions pass, and I was among those monotonous grey slabs." Fact that the govt. wastes milâ€" lions does not prove that the voter can gpare 30 cents worth of his valâ€" uable time to get to the polis. The politicians who favor economy will not: commonly favor cutting down appropriations for their own districts. â€" THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS The J. L.
