she traced the lines in Helens

very idealistic. are you not?"

How to Dance the TANGO 81 Pictures R Mr. ana Mrs. 1"" Castle Lhn

a YOUNG MAN writes very
n lengthy letter. which from start
to finish is a recital of his woes
He has quarreled with his sweetheart
OF course. she was the one who Of
Tended. Complaining letters from men
in love are alike in this: 1t is always
the girl who started the trouble.
This young man claims no marriage
engagement nor even one of those in
definite understandings that some day
drift into one. Neither was her com
pany engaged for the evening when she
committed her crime He took it for
granted she would go to a party with
him. She went with another man!
There are those on whose shoulders
time has laid such weighty burdens
that this little grief seems trivial
enough to excite only smiles. The
weight of such a grievance is appre
ciated only by those who are in love.
They know that a smile of less ferver, a
sigh too long, glance that for the mo-
ment was more absent-minded than
loving; a second look after a rival; all
these, and less. have sent innumerable
lovers flying apart
His Sweetheart S Crime.
Each claims his or her love is as
strong as a cable. vet the most trivial
circumstances viii rend it as easily as
if 1t were made of gossamer The
writer of this letter goes into every de-
tail of his sweetheart's crime. and con-
cludes his woeful eptstle as follows:
Il told this girl I would never for
give her or call on her again. Now. l
love her dearly, and wish YOU would
tell me how to regain her love In the
meantime, l am keeping company with
another girl"
1t is the last sentence that will cause
even the mildest champion of her sex
TO rage and storm. Read it again IN
the meantime, l am keeping company
with another girl"
This man is engaged in the exercise
of his rights 1t is the privilege Of the
man, when lovers quarrel, to take his
bruised heart to another girl and de
vote himself to her while she applies
the ointment of sympathy and flattery,
The sweetheart with whom this man
quarreled, and who is not TO blame. must
sit idly by with hands folded She, too,
would enjoy Haunting another lover in
the face Of her former one, but her sex
is a barrier to search for such consola
ton. Unless a second man comes vol
unfairly. she must remain in the seclu-
sion of interpretation and neglect
She may not care for the lover who is
| cross-I hope she doesn't-but condi-
tions place her in that position Against
her WILL against her desire, she is like
| one who sits and mourns. She may
| prefer her loneliness to injustice. anC
| does not gricve over her loss, but, Sc
| far as outward evidence goes, she is
| left signing ON one of loves forgotten

many gratifying things Mrs. Barton had
read in her hand Yet Mrs. Barton had
read several other hands that evening,
and from the chance phrases Helen had
overheard she had been equally comph-
mentary to them all.
So Helen's feeling of self satisfaction
was modified by the thought the posi-
bly, lattering generalities were the main
part of Mrs. Barton's system of palm
istry. Perhaps that accounted for her
popularity in drawing room gatherings.
Later in the evening, after the maid
had brought in the sandwiches and the
claret punch. Mr.. Stevens suggested
that Warren have his palm read.
