The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-07-02

Paget Howard, earl of Suffolk and Berk-
shire, aged twenty-five, should fall in
love with her.
1t would be easy to fall in love with
lovely Daisy Letter anywhere, but the
conditions in India are especially favor
able to that commonest of all falling
feats.
There is the comparative isolation of
the English and Americans among the
brown-faced, white-turbaned Hindoos.
This makes acquaintance quicker and the
bonds of friendship closer. Life is ele-
ardor of the natives are communicated to
their rulers. 1t is a land of romance,
and they who tarry in it grow romantic.
The appearance Of the Vicereine's
beautiful sister was hailed with delight
al Simla, the summer capital of India.
The earl Of Suffolk, aide-de-camp of Lord
Curzon, the Viceroy, was the most de-
lighted of all. Read 'Mr. Isaacs' and
see for yourself how easy and delightful
it is to fall in love in Anglo ndia-easy
and delightful as it may be elsewhere.
The earl was presented at a dinner
given by the Vicereine in honor of the
arrival of her sister. 1t was his pleasure
and honor to take the American beauty
in to dinner. She was very pretty in
gown of rose pink silk, with a pink rose
in her hair and a rose flush on her round
cheeks. The flush deepened at the earl's
compliments. The others gathered about
the table were pleased at this symptom
of a budding romance. They are born
matchmakers in India. They make
matches not only for the happiness of
the candidates, but for their own amuse-
ment and relief from ennui. Matchmak-
ing makes them forget the heat of an
Anglo-Indian summer. Just see what
Mr.. Kipling has to say on the subject.
The earl of Suffolk called the day aft
er the dinner. The next day he drove
with Miss Letter and her chaperone. The
next day he met her at hop and got his
quota of three dances early in the even
ing and looked disconsolately at her and
reproachfully at her partners the rest of
the evening.
The drives and calls and hops have
been continued and always the earl Of
Suffolk is seen somewhere as near as
may be in the neighborhood of Miss
Letter. a proposal was inevitable. And
the Simla gossips set it going that the earl
was aide-de-camp not to the Lord, but to
the lady.
The earl confded his joy in his hope at
mess one night, and so his story has
come from Simla to London and from
London to New York
The marriage will not take place until
the Misses Letter, with characteristic
American determination, have thorough
ly seen India The sisters will make
tour of Northern India and see the old
cities of Lucknow, Agra and Delhi and
the holy city of Benares. The distances
in the Indian empire are so vast that
this will take some months. They will
then go to Calcutta in time for TALL gave
ties at the government house.
1t is a question. that Involves the IN
tricacies of the heart of woman-this
question whether Miss Daisy Letter will
really decide to become the countess OF
Suffolk and Berkshire.
There is Bob Wallach to be "consid-
ered.' Handsome Bob Wallach, of
Washington, the gentleman jockey who
dashed across country after hounds, and
rode, while he did so, straight into the
hearts Of women. Bob Wallach was
only twenty-five He mad scarcely had
time, and he showed no inclination, to
establish himself in business. He was
very poor in comparison with the Letters
and their millions. But girls of seven
teen do not, or should not, reck Of mill
ions. American mammas of twice or
thrice their age are quite capable of reck-
ing for them. So pretty Daisy Letter,
not yet out, saw him dashing across the
fields of Chevy Chase and fell in love.
Bob" Wallach was presented to the ell
der Misses Letter, and almost by acct
dent to Miss Daisy. look at her pretty
face and the masses of hair and Bob"
Wallach fell in love- He called often on
the Misses Letter, but it was solely in
hope of catching a glimpse of the young
est. She helped him little in his covert
wooing. He learned what route she took
when she went for walk unattended
Mr.. and Mrs. Letter heard of the walks
They planned to take Miss Daisy abroad
and present her at the queens drawing
room. She learned this quite acciden-
tally, from young Mr.. Brice, the son Of
the ex-senator. She ran to her mother
and asked questions.
only a pleasant little surprise my
dear" said cautious Mrs. Letter But she
notified Mr. Wallach by message that he
should never call at the Letter home
again.
The girl sent a heartbroken little note
mother discovered this and put her into
close Quarters-her bedroom-and on a
light diet-bread and water-for three
days When t. the three days were past
Bob" Wallach was at the. station
MISS Daisy Letter left her party and ran
toward him. There was a quick hand
then Mr.. Levi q. Letter bore down upon
them.
Leave us. sirr' he thundered. How
you to stay away from my house!'
Bob" Wallach looked alrily about the
station.
Il was not aware that you owned the
pennsylvania station" he said. Then he
bowed low to pretty Daisy Letter, who
had tears in her eyes.
