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
very different type of love story. 1t
sayors more of the purely sentimental.
Miss Pastor and Mr.. Stokes speak OF
affinity, and find the ordinary express
sions of sentimental love crowded out
by the deeper currents and purposes of
life. The Christian and the Jewish maid
en>have lost sight of all class, race and
social conditions, and each has recog-
nized in the other the complement of self,
that something, that inspiration, that
sympathy, which will enable them both
more surely and completely to realize
their ideals in serving humanity.

Montreal, the millionaire lumberman,

came when the elderly millionaire ven
tured to ask Miss Bennett If he might
take her to the theater after her days
work. @n
If you meet my father and mother
and they are willing" she said, very
frankly.
Nothing BETTER" responded Mr..
Whitney heartily, and that evening
found him a caller over in Greenpoint
at No. 213 Nassau avenue.
It was no mansion that he found.
Instead, Miss Benefits home proved
to be very modest little three-story
wooden fat-house.'
The Bennetts-father, mother and
three sisters-lived on the top floor at
that. MIR. Whitney found further that
Miss Benefits two sisters, Alice and
Jennie, like herself Were telephone OPP
orators, and that T. v. Bennett, the
father of the three sweet-faced girls,
was foreman in the Fleischmann yeast
factory at Greenpoint.

There was very pleasant call, and

Find Strange Affinities-Queer Franks
Which Cupid Has Played

How romantic it all is! What fascinat-
ing reading! 1t is just as if the charac-
tiers of some charming novel had stepped
down into real life and were enactins
a roll of which the boldest romancer 10
his most extravagant flights might have
conceived. A double bill. Two ro-
mances in real life which are stranger
than fiction.
Humble Origin Of Rose Pastor.
Twenty-six years ago Rose Harriet
Pastor was born in Augustoyo, Suwalk,
Russia, child of the peasantry Tolstoi
and Gorky have told the world about. OF
this period of her life Miss Pastor says:
Il was only three years old when l
left Russia, but think can remember
a little about it, just very little, faint
shadow of remembrance. Then there
was London, where we lived In White
chapel, and were very poor, indeed"
A chapter in her life which had its be-
ginning in London in those early years
had an interesting sequel in New York
city recently, and reminds one OF the fact
that Pastor is not the real name OF the
young Jewess. Her fathers name was
Jacob Weisslender, and about q year
after their removal to London he was d.
vorced from her mother, and all trace
of the man was lost.
Finds Her Father.
Mrs. Weisslender married man
named Pastor, and Rose took her STEP
fathers name. He died several years
ago, and the support Of the family fell on
Rose, the eldest child. When she moved
to New York, about two years ago, and
obtained employment on the Jewish
Daily News, she set about to find her
father. Her friends assisted her, and
about Is months ago Bennett Leberman,
who worked with her, discovered an old
cobbler in little shop on Scanned
street. The name on the sign was."Yan-
KEEL Weisslender" Weisslender was

girl, it is entirely different. Their TO-
nance is written all in loves most senti-
mental characters. A sweet voice float
ing over the wire, a pretty face seen
afterwards, lonely old widower with
susceptible heart, courtship in which
flowers, and jewelry carriage and auto
mobile rides, theater parties and dainty
and elaborate suppers figure prominent
ly. These are the elements we find in
this charming story, and to many read
err it will prove the more interesting and
readable of the two.
Her Sweet Voice.
It CHANGED that e. r. Whitney, a cap
italist of Montreal, came to New York
last year for a long stay. He took rooms
at the Astor house. One day he called
up business friend at the Grand Union
hotel. There was difficulty in getting his
party on the wire. But it wasn't Cen
trails fault.
Instead of initiating the rather hasty
tones Of Mr.. Whitney, as does the aver
age Central, or giving him "Busy!' this
operator on the other end of the line real
ly tried to get the call for Mr.. Whitney.
So sweet was her voice and so charming
her manner that the impatient business
man at the other end was much i'm
pressed.
He got his party, an appointment was
made and next day found Mr.. Whitney
at the hotel to transact his business. The
interview over, again he sought the tele-
phone, At the switchboard sat charm
ing young girl. Mr.. Whitney gave her
the number he wished, and when he
heard her ask "81O0 Cortlandt' over the
wire, great light came over him.
Her Pretty Face.
At once he recognized the voice-it
was the voice of the day before, when he
had been so courteously treated over the
wire. If the voice had pleased him, the
sweet-faced girl who gave him his call
delighted him. Mr.. Whitney is 70 years
old, but he hasn't forgotten the gallantry
of youth. In the twinkling OF an eye ne
had recalled the incident OF the day be-
fore, and the blushing girl owned up that
it was her voice that he had heard over
the wire.
Now, Mr.. Whitney is a man OF decls-
ion. He admired the pretty telephone
girl and he decided that it would be a
saving of time if he could be nearer
her when he wanted to use the phone.
It isn't necessary to recount right here
that perhaps there were other lnnu-
ences that caused his, decision.
At any rate, on the very next day
there appeared on the register OF the
Grand Union the name e. r. Whit
ney, Montreal" He took an expensive
suite and the Astor House knew him
no more.
Devotion Itself.
Every day found Mr.. Whitney at the
Central office of the Grand Union ho-
tel. Nobody could satisfy his wants as
could s> Miss Bennett. They chatted
pleasantly enough while he was wait
ing for his calls and finally the day

New York City.-What queer pranks
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and let's his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses to look
and to listen.
Cupid knows that love has universal
Language, and that it is potent to over
come every natural barrier. He knows
that love pauses not to reason why, but
that it dares to do, and even die, IT need
be, in its assaults on the strongholds OF
the human heart. He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions, nor So
cial conditions or barriers which love
cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid
knows all this full we'll, he dares to draw
his bow and send his dart cleaving the
heart of a young man whose wealth is
counted in millions, whose social posi-
ton is of the highest, Yale graduate,
and club man. and the heart of poor
Hebrew maiden, a Russian Jewess,
whose life has been spent amidst the
worlds humblest, and who has rolled
cigars year in and year out that the
mother and five other. children might
have bread and shelter. Cupid has
strangely linked the proud name OF John
Graham Phelps Stokes and the unknown,
yet euphonious name, of Rose Harriet
Pastor.
Cupid's Double Play.
But Cupid has done more than this.
He has made in New York what might
be called a double play, and from one
end Of the land to the other his strange
pranks are interesting and fascinating
the reading public. A wealthy business
man Of Montreal, q man of mature years
as we'll as of great riches, has fallen VIC
tim to the charms of hello" girl.
Cupid has discovered an affinity between
Mr.. E. r. Whitney, capitalist and sage
of 70, and Miss Anna Bennett, telephone
operator, and winsome maiden OF some
20 summers, and this is the second re-
markable romance which is setting the
tongues of the gossips to wagging and

wife. Mother and daughter never again

pretty Miss Bennett in her daintiest

Greenpoint, where jewelers. clerks are

Then the Proposal.
OF course, all this attention meant
but one thing-a proposal. Last week
it came, and on Saturday evening when
Miss Bennett put on her hat and wraps
at the end of the days work she noti-
fed the hotel management that she
had done her last days work.
II am to be married." she added.
"That very same Saturday Mr.. Whit
ney went to the Office of the Grand
Union hotel and asked for his bill. He
paid it and, calling cab, drove over
to the Hotel Astor, Forty-fourth street
and Broadway, where he took suite
No. 3O5. There he is now, getting
ready for his wedding.
Loyal to Old Friends.
In her prosperity Miss Bennett has
not forgotten her less fortunate friends
of her "hello" days. The bridesmaid
at the wedding is to be Miss Ida
Schwindt, another telephone operator
who presides at the switchboard of
the Park Avenue hotel. Mr.. Whitney
has handed her handsome check to
provide herself with a bridesmaids
gown. But of this or of her elderly
flance's wealth Miss Bennett will not
speak.
Telephone Gossip.
There are certain things which at the
other telephone girls in New York have
heard, but which none Of the interested
parties will confirm. Call up any Gen
trail" and she will tell you the gossip.
These are that Mr.. Whitney has already
settled 100000 upon Mr.. Bennett and
that he and her father were present at
the signing of the papers; that her we'd
ding gift will be $1,000 automobile:
that Miss Schwindt has received $500 for
her bridesmaids dress and a diamond
cluster ring for souvenir, and that Mr..
Whitney himself is one of New York's
new unknown millionaires.
Mr.. Whitney doesn't look his years.
He is powerfully built, more than six
feet tall, and has apparently many years
yet to live. He is as sprightly and at
tentive as a man half his years. He
