Criterion.--Dear Sir; l send you the prom

Ahal So you really have sentimental
carr and want TO know about my "roman-
tic ep." Well, / do not mind telling you
we are such great friends-though we have
never met Besides, / know you are such
regular old mole you never viii disclose
Besides, have not a soul TO tell, and am
dying for sympathy. You see Dick Ray
and had q regular fuss night before last
as 10 our fsyorite style Of beauty; the sub
ject being started by question as TO pref
erence, In my new "Aiental Autograph
Album" So pronounced was my enthusi-
nsm for that rare combination, slight hair
md dark eyes, that Dick, whose unre-
loved ravenness has never been able to
score hit closer TO the center Of my heart
than Friendship" was somewhat startled,
and i could soc not little nettled. One
word led TO another, each one making me
but the more loyal 20 what, true as fate,
dear mole, has never been more than an
ideal in my mind SO strong was the i'm
precision left by the controversy that sleep
was not able TO Danish il. A hero Of eight
hair and dark eyes" wandered with mo
through dreamland, appeared IN the sunlit
rays which woke me; indeed, followed me
clear into the office, where every thing, not
business and clothes, arc supposed 10 be
pcremptorily dropped"
By noon, his idealship was pretty well
banished, however, and started TO lunch
at the usual hour without him, till, coming
20 the corner of Wabash avenue and
Adams street, the capers Of a fractions
horse disturbed the symmetry OF travel,
and sudden huddle and halt Of the ''liv-
ing stream brought me face TO face with

could possibly be met with in a days
search. Such remarkably fine brown eyes
So deep set in shape, so liberal, kindly and
frank in expression, so charming in con-
trast with the hair, whose "lightness -
the rim OF very stylish and becoming
Derby disclosed 90 be "whiteness,n for
my materialized ideal was an elderly, port
~, handsome gentleman, OF the type only
70 bo met with on earth, believe, in Paris,
New York and Chicago-a thoroughly
stylish, clean, healthy, business mani
The huddle Of people, the sudden ap-
pearanco, right before my eyes, Of my
ideal beautiful in man, recalling. as Il did,
the ridiculous quarrel Of the night before,
shocked me utterly out Of all my usual
occurrences, all my theories on the subject
Of streetconduct, all my self-control;
smiled-one Of my very bost,-straight into
the middle OF the brown eyes, which, |
need not assure you, were not az all behind
hand In genuine response-with interest.
A momentary hesitation OF expectancy,
refusal, regret, polite raising Of the bo-
coming Derby, and we had parted-my
ideal and I-for aye, and aye, and aye.
