relieved. An interview was arranged,
however, and as went to keep the ap
pointment met MIR. Edward King, and
induced him to accompany me.
when met Mr.. Stokes said: oh,
did not know You we're like that
and we fell to talking of many things
that interested us both. In showing
me around the building we stepped out
onto balcony, and, as we stood look
ing down to the people. noticed his
expression, and thought how much he
looked like Lincoln-the same kind of
beautiful LONELINESS.

No Claim to Beauty.
What is there about this child of the
Ghetto, this young Russian Jewess
which should have taken the eye and
captured the heart of the quiet, re-
served, thoughtful social worker and
reformer, J. G.. Phelps Stokes? She is
simple and cordial in her manner, and
she seems to expect the same qualities
in those with whom she talks.
She is not beautiful, but there is
that in her face which attracts and
holds attention and interest as mere
beauty would not. Her hair is the
most striking thing as one first looks
at her-auburn, and full of waves and
lights. She parts it, emphasizing her.
low. broad brow. i .x
Her eyes are brown, and her face
lights up in wonderful manner as
she talks. Quite at her ease, without
embarrassment, apology or boastful-'
ness, Miss Pastor talks of her past life,
of her meeting with. Mr.. Stokes, of
their subsequent acquaintance and the
development of their attachment and
of the coming marriage on the ami
versary of her birth, June 10.
The Man in the Case
And Mr.. Stokes views the circum-
stances in the strange alliance in the
same, matter7of-fact way. He seems to
think nothing unusual in one of his
birth and position and wealth finding
a bride who~, life and training have
been so different from his own. Mr..
Stokes is young man who, since the
completion of his college course, has
been interested in settlement work and
social reforms. He is a member of one
of the Oldest and proudest families of
New York, and is said to have inherit
ed $10,000,000 from his grandfather.
Years ago he voluntarily relinquished
his social position with all it's attrac-
tions, and the brilliant business pros
poets which his wealth and training
opened up for him, and dedicated his
money and his life to work among the
poor, and in the ghetto of New York
he has reared an imperishable monu-
ment to himself and incidentally won
for himself a, bride, who in spirit and
purpose is at one with him.
Miss Pastors View Of the Ideal Man.
It is interesting to know what his
bride-to-be thinks of the man she is to
marry. She draws the picture as fol-
4ows:
"Mr. Stokes is deep, strong think
er. His youthful face takes by virtue
of its frank, earnest and kind express
sion.
Zone glance at his face and you feel
that Mr.. Stokes loves humanity for it's
own sake, and as he speaks on with
the sincerity that is the keynote of his
character, you feel how the whole
heart and soul of the man is filled with
welt schmerz. You feel that, meta
phorically speaking, he has 'sown his
black young curls with the bleaching
cares of half a million of men al
ready - ! =, + ~: !
.'Mr. Stokes is very tall, and be-
lieve, six foot of the most thorough
democracy. "A thoroughbred gentle
man, a scholar and a son of q million
aire, he is a man of the common peo-
pie, even as Lincoln was. He is a
plain man and makes one feel perfect
ly at ease with him. Nor does he DOS
sess that one great fault that men of
his kind generally possess, the pride
of humility. He does not flaunt his
democracy in ones face, but when his
democracy is mentioned to him, he ap-
pears as glad as child who is told by
an appreciative parent, you have been

The Romance Of Another Type.
Such are the man and woman and
such is the network Of romance which
has woven itself into their lives and
bound them together. AS we turn to
the Whitney, Bennett romance we find
9 very different type Of love story. It
savors more Of the purely sentimental.
Miss Pastor and Mr.. Stokes speak Of
affinity, and ind the ordinary express
sions Of sentimental love crowded out
) nv the deeper currents and purposes Of
