chine that Peter came to realize that
he was entirely lacking In artistic
sense.
he was going to business as urual
on bright October morning when
bit of paper caught his eye. With his
habitual interest in things that did not
In the least concern him he picked the
crumpled paper up on the end of his
walking stick. 1t was a sheet OF copy
paper which had been used by a per-
son evidently learning to use a type
writer.
II do wish" he read. that the young
man In the gray suit would select a
new tie and have his clothes pressed
more often. He wouldn't be at all
bad looking II he possessed an atom
Of taste in his dress-but alas! he
wears green and brown tie, q soft
blue hat and red socks. He would
look stunning In brown, with a small
dull gold tie." Peter laughed aloud
and fell to wondering who had
watched him passing and with an eye
so critical.
Peter fell to wondering whether the
name, Edna Glover, so often repeated,
was the typist's name or merely a fic-
titious one. In the evening before he
left the Office Peter had decided to
send card to Edna Glover In the hope
that the name was real one.
The card he sent reached Edna
when she was having her early morn
Ing cup of tea Martha, her faithful
maid brought it to her.
Il have ordered a brown suit and
purchased dull gold tie In the |
course of day or two you will see
me wearing them. Hope they please

into her ewes. "Oh," she gasped, my
papers must have blown about and
he has picked one up. Isn't that
The typewriting was progressing
nicely and Edna could do an entire
page without more than a half dozen
mistakes before she had the pleasure
Of seeing, from behind her rose cur
tained windows, the brown suit. Edna
gasped at the wonderful change II
made in Peter. He certainly was good
% look at and her eyes followed him
Until he had turned the corner to en-
er the subway.
Peter was really proud of himself.

,rown before and thanked Edna in
mother card.
Call me up at 40 Broda," he
yrote. Il want to know If l have Sc
ected the right color. My name is

Edna drew a sharp breath, half of
niger and half of excitement when
he read that card. She decided first
0 ignore the request, but during the
fternoon her sense of the romantic
