Makers OF MOueTn HISTORY. After
that yellow War" came "The Land
of the White Tsar' and a brief fling
for me in that Russian Revolutionary
Movement which has been such
Menace to Privilege
All this time, even in "A Country
Soul" was ringing "The Silent Call" of
THE City, the Hope of Democracy"
and, after fortnight in and Around
Venice" and brief study of French
Profles" among "The Parisans Out
of-Doors," began my English
Hours" my Friend the Chauffeur"
whom l had first met as "A CONNER
cial Traveller in South America" hap
pened to be in London, and he intro
duced me to Miss Desmond" and "The
Ballingtons" and those other Motor
maniacs" whose sole creed seemed to
be "The Race of the Swift" With
such as these l lived in an empty
House of Mirth," mingling in the
Fortunes of the Landrays" and trifing
with 1.-The Heart of Lady Anne
Small wonder my London Films" are
not pleasant memories.
Then back came again to THE
United States; a Christian Nation"
where, after sowing some Editorial
Wild Oats" l tried a hand at The
Game" from 1.-THE Wall Street Point of
View" l was drawn into "The Vor-
tex" of THE Speculations of John
Steele" who was trying to create a
Corner in Women" and, not warned
off even by that experience of "The
Girl and the Deal I Joined "McAllis-
ter and His Double" and such "Misrep-
resentative Men" in forming "The Club
of Queer Trades" This led to that
affair of THE Amethyst Box" which
the police now recall as "The Mystery
of June 18th" Breath of the Gods!"
that was "a Close Shave" Had it
not been for Minerals Manoeuvres" l
should have passed through "The Lit
tie Green Door" and never again look
ed upon The Rising Sum-
But, in spite of "The Ancient
Grudge," which follows all who have
shared in "The Reign of Gilt" Thine,
the Comedian brings "The Reckon
ing" and with Contrite Hearts"
comes reform. At just THE Oppor-
tune Moment" "The Counsels of a
Worldly Godmother" sent me down to
Newport; Our Social Capital" and
there l found Fair Margaret" Lady
Bobs, Her Brother and T. were walk
ing "on the Sunny Side of the Street, q"
when "The Beautiful Lady" went driv-
ing past in a "Green Shay" with "The
Social Secretary" Everything from
"The Man on the Box" to NEEDY"
Tine Black Spaniel" spoke of Our
Best Society"-and the next day met
her
With that "Wild freshman" plum
kit of Tammany Hail." and Mrs. Al
derman Casey" had gone to a lawn
fete cat the Sign of the Jack-o'-Lan-
term" read the quaint invitation), and
there she sat under The Plum Tree"
looking for all the world like a verit-
able miss Cherry Blossom of Toxic"
The Northerner" in me baked a bit
at marrying "a Daughter of the
South" but Mrs. Raffles" and all my
other friends ("Sabina" and "Ayesha"
and Emmy Lou" and "Iole" and 'Ne-
dra"D urged me on until stood ready
to overcome Man and Superman" to
complete that Conquest of Canaan"
Then came Her Letter" and "The Lar
kins Wedding" itself was as nothing
to ours.
So, through ali Loves Cross Cur
rents" 1 came "The Appointed Way" to
"The Heart of Girl" It has proved
no Irrational Knot" would not
change places with "The Duke Of Dew
il-May-Care" I envy not the best
paid Servant of the Public" THE
Woman of Tomorrow" propounds for
me no Vital Questions" While my
Fair Margaret" writes her way
through "The Diary of a Bride"
study along happily in my "Matrimo-
NAL Primer" knowing that Love
Alone is Lord" and that am now liv-
ing "The Life that Counts" in my own
Hearts Haven"
