A SCHOOL
OF LOVE
BY EMMA L GOULD

/
Bowuicrinkle she had in her youth
more offers OF marriage than she knew
what to do with She had married
Roger Edmonds because ne was the
hast OF those who proposed before she
was too old 10 dirt. Al mis- death she
/ conceived the original idea OF making
living by teaching young women how
to get husbands
So she put out circular In which
she agreed for stipulated fee to tell
any girl how to get any man she want
ed. the fee TO be paid after engage
ment. This locked fair enough. and II
number OF young. women called at her
consultation rooms for advice Among
them was Johanna Ormsby. who stated
what she wanted as follows:
II wish to marry Mr.. Sam TrusdelI
He is u bachelor of thirty-nv and Il
woman hater. | have tried TO make
myself agreeable to him, and be likes
{ to pass an evening with ME for a chat.
That is to say. be never is anything
toward me but friendly"
How long has this been going on?"
About year"
That's bad. Ii yoH had but recently
made his acquaintance Ii would be
much easier. Such chronic cases need
desperate remedies In your. case see
no way but to pick quarrel with
him.
"a qnarrelY'
Yes: you must contriye something
out Of which q quarrel shall grow.
Then misconstrue something be does.
or, If that is impracticabie. make the
fight on no basis whatever, trusting
to invent one, and IL you can't invent
one tell him you have been mistaken
in something which has passed, but
which now, since it is all over, Is too
painful for you to mention In that
case you will have the advantage of
being penitent and throwing yourself
on his mercy"
But wish him to love me. Why
make him angry?"
ITO start him. The longer your re-
lGtions remain as they are the more
chronic they will become and the hard
err to break up. Since you are not an
apt scholar / shall have to manage
the affair for you. 70 make be-
ginning. cut him the next time you
meet him on the street"
For what ostensible reasonP'
.s"Cut him and leave the rest to me.
Use the telephone freely. and will
keep youIadvised"
Miss lOFnsbys went away. and the
next time she met Mr.. Trusdell she
sailed by him with her nose in the
afr.
He looked at her with astonish-
ment. What could he have done to
merit such treatment? He turned to
look back at her. then passed on his
way in much agitation. There is moth
ing that will SO rack man as to receive
the contempt of lady. She may fight
him, she may plead with him. and he
can stand 1t manfully. but let her con-
tenn him and he is crushed.
That same evening Miss Ormsby re-
ceived d note from Mr.. Trusdell. beg
ging to know wherein he had offended
her. She called up Mrs. Edmonds. re-
ported the matter and asked for In
structions.
"Pay no attention to the note" was
the reply.
but now your treatment OF the case
is getting me out of chronic indiffer-
ence as we'll as Mr.. Trusdell. fear

be headed That would be dreadfulP'
at will never be healed until you do
as tell you"
There followed silence. Miss Orms-
by felt as il she were hanging over
precipice with no one to help her. New
ertheless she dare not disobey instruc-
lions. She did not reply to Mr.. Trus-
dell's note
One evening there was ring at the
doorbell and a guest was ushered into
the drawing room. where Miss Ormsby
was sitting. He was Mr.. Trusdell.
The lady had no opportunity to consult

beginnin. She stood still. said moth
