 Again I received the same informa. tion that he was not in town, and was relieved. An interview was arranged however, and as went to keep the ap- pointment met MT. Edward King, and induced him to accompany me.
 When met Mir. Stokes said: Oh did not know you were 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 I noticed his expression. and thought how much he looked like Lincoln-the same kind of beautiful homeliness.
 "As we have come to know each oth- CT we have simply planned our lives together. That is all there is to it. l do not expect to change my way of liv- ing in any radical way. We will get an apartment on the lower East side, if we can find one there with light enough. That is the only luxury we oAdll AuolSI uPOu.
 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.
 Her eyes are brown, and her face lights up in a. 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 anni- versary of her birth, June 18
 The Man in the Case.
 And MT. Stokes views the circum- stances in the strange alliance in the same, matter-of-fact way. He seems to think nothing unusual in one of his birth and position and wealth finding bride whose life apd training have been so different from his own. MT. Stokes is a young man who, since the completion of his college course, has been interested in settlement work and social reforms. He is member of one of the oldest and proudest families of New York, and is said to have inherit ed $10.0O0,000 from his grandfather. Years ago he voluntarily relinquished his social position with all its 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 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- lows:
 "Mr. Stokes is deep. strong think CT. His youthful face takes by virtue of its frank, earnest and kind express sion.
 "One glance at his face and you feel that MT. Stokes loves humanity for its 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 I be- lieve, six foot of the most thorough democracy. A thoroughbred gentle man, scholar and a son of million aire, he is a man of the common peo- pie, even as Lincoln was. He is . plain man and makes one feel perfect ly al ease with him. Nor does he pos
