think Disraeli stands foremost 10 my
affections. Men say Of him that he
was the most conceited man that ever [
lived; but women, who are wiser than /
mon. know that he had much TO be |
concerted about. The story of his life, |
the story Of his ambitions, bis public |
speeches, his written books and his |
inner life all combined, have a won |
derful fascination for women, and draw |
the feminine heart TO him. just take |
up one of his novels II you want TO |
convince yourself OF his thorough |
understanding. not only Of women,
and Of love, but of society. He had
the wisdom to marry a widow, and be

each other in the daytime, should
visit at different houses and meet,
after midnight, to discuss whatever
was interesting, over cold chicken and
champagne What wise man he was.
Disraeli suggests primroses and prim-
roses suggest to me that right here I'M
der my own eyes that old old story is
being told again and that the old old
fashion of making love is TO the fore.
Every morning Nanny comes into break
fast with wonderful bunch of flowers
at her belt. At fret / only thought
that she had been out in the garden for
a walk and that this was the result of
her cary visit TO the flower beds; but
one morning | noticed that her bouquet

grow in Mrs. Jim JohDson,s beautiful
garden. The story IL plain to me.
Every morning as young Jim johnson
goes down to the village where be is
studying law under the single Judge
who is the power he leaves bouquet on
| the gate post and Nanny queerly enough
| finds it. 1t would be cruel hut ii would
be interesting to get up early and go
down and pre-empt that bouquet.
wonder what Nanny would think il che
saw her posies in the belt of another
woman? She would probably think the
truth as she is the only absolutely
| young girl in the house.
THE SION OF LOVE.
1t IL almost az pretty as seeing two
| birds making love TO watch one young
4 girl when she lie first conscious that a
| young mans heart is drawn towards
| her. She fiushes; she is nervous and
she tiits around In quick sort of a
way exactly as the yellow canary bird
does in its cage when the bird in the
other window trills a particularly
sweet song. 1t is good thing this old
fashioned love. IL keeps everybody
young. Even the lockers on find their
hearts growing tender and somehow
every human being hearing the love
story of someone else lives again in
the first love that came TO her. My first
love was given to gentleman old

The first love is always spiritual anr
that is the reason why no wise woman
