The Girl | Did Not Marry
CBy Max Rittenberg)

ERHAPS, out of the number of
i romances that have come into my
. L life. that of the girl who wanted
to be her own mistress towers above
the rest.
She was very tall and smart and
pretty. I was young, and beauty to
me then was more than skin deep. 1t
pierced as far as my heart She had
won me with her large eyes and com
handing manner.
Yes, it was her presence that i'm
pressed me, the wonderful way in
! which she controlled and made those
about her do her bidding.
We met casually at a dance, and felt
at once in sympathy with one another.
So much so that afterwards we met
constantly.
1t was on the second meeting that ]

ton in a large insurance firm, was
head of her department and controlled
a number of girls

the ideal woman to manage a home.

cepted and seemingly everything was
bright to me then, for I had won a
woman whom I knew to be a brilliant
success in her business, and as my own
position was a good one, there was
every prospect of our marriage taking
place speedily.
The next time I met her we touched
upon a business matter. and she said:
Wont it be lovely, Jacki You and
I both business peoplei We can live in
a flat and have a servant to look after
it during the day, and you and I will
go to business"

She fastened to add that this latter
remark was only from the point of
