SUNDAY MAGAZINE FOR JULY l6. 1909

talked to me great deal very easily and rapidly, and
said good deal that he did not mean and in such
enchanting that l was in smiles all the time
The corners of my mouth curled up in spite of my
self knew it was not true; but liked it. He paid
me in exquisite French that pretty old compliment
the form of the riddle about the difference between
Mademoisele and the clock And all the time a
wicked little touch of wordliness lay MIN SO be-
comingly, that thought delightfully."-, with little
chis running up and down my young spine, of all
that he knew and all that / did not know
felt almost worldly myself in just listening to him
Was it any wonder that in that meeting should
lay down all my youthful dreams, all my high aspira-
tons my lofty ideals, at his no doubt very weary
feet!
l think not l was seventeen, and he represented
to glorious unknown land which only Time
could unroll to me- the Land of Experience! Ah how
enthusiastic, how lmpulsive was! bubbled over
with youth and vitality. l eager to like him. l
eager to rise to some lofty height for his dis
tinguished sake.
As look back now, can see that, charming and
fascinating as he was, he mainly tranquil and on
the whole indifferent, like who had left some
rather splendid things behind him and did not care
Perhaps he at an age when his ideals no longer
kept him awake or perhaps he was merely in need of
sleep having been wined and dined great DEAL but
it is impossible to believe however much l should
like to- that was anything more to him than merely
agreeable young thing
He asked my father if he could come around and
see the next day and take out and get some
chocolates and my father was delighted to accord
his gracious permission In little feeling of offended
pride at having been taken SO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
forsooth!-1 put my hair up very high my head
the next day when he called.
He it at once Immediately he entered the
drawing ROOM and came over to where was sitting,
and admired it in abstract impersona manner,
saying it very pretty thick hair; and then he
asked gravey to go back up stairs and do it the
way always wore it, so could hurry out and get
the chocolates.
gave up making permanent impression on him
after that and Just went out with him for the after
noon seventeen years old only l ate unromantically
of the chocolates and had good time.
He went back to Europe shortly after that, and
never saw him again But l think of him. / have
lived good deal since then, and have met many
people, and have had many experiences, and should
like to take my larger understanding to fresh
