I about her that draws every last one of us to her. It's what Mir. Barrie has called | charm It's what somebody else has called the ''come hither. look in her eyes, which is none other than love and af- fection.''
 I You mean she was an essentially fem lnne woman?" I suggested, he finished the story. One whose very being radiated the hearth fires of a home
 But
 NOW after all, how is one going to set apout explaining how one woman is be- loved and another is neglected?' 1 II you VIII observe the two closely you VIII md the one to whom all people turn, even as bees seek honey pot. Is inc one Who gives out the sweetness of love and sympathy.
 l Sympathy is the rare essence of being that none of us is able to resist
 It is quality that however catalogued-- as magnetism. attraction, charm--stil re- mains in the last analysis only Il divine outpouring of the spirit in understanding, comprehension-an sympathy. '1 Don't Know Why I Love You. But ! Do-o-o-ooo' is song that holds in I keeping more than the mere catchy 1 words
 l dont know why we love certain peo- pie. but the fact remains that We do Love isn't one of the things that can 1 be filed away under any given letter in the .selassided joys of our several lives  1 But that is not answering my dues- tion, the nice young man said presently lnterruptins my musings. What are you going to do with Miss Danae if she persistently refuses to sit up and take notice?'
 Why do any thing?" l questioned Because its of the first importance" l said he, that she be made to understand what she is missing. II would be dif- l ferent if she had any work that has nothing to fill up her life. She has no maids. She isn't unhappy over it, al- though she seems very much alone and detached from everything and every l body.''
 I'm much inclined to label your lady a PIT of the deepest dye" I said hip panty. why doesn't her mother take the refractory Danae into her own hands and refuse to allow her to speak to a man, and then with the proclivity of one | of her sex (and l concede this with no | disloyalty to any of theml, the girl | would want to do the very thing she was forbidden to do and she'd have a love affair that would knock all the others you've ever seen into a cooked hat quicker than you could say Jack Rob inson."
 'The man was utterly amazed at my suggestion.
 Instead of always rubbing it in that she ought to fall in love and make a home for some nice man. as well her self went to advise, throw her with people who make big demand upon her svmpathies and resources. and her
 selhshness would mighty soon vanish and talk about what a nice maiden aunt she was going to be one of fhese fine days. and that an unmarried girl al % was considered a dyed-n-t he-wool old maid. beyond recall and beyond understanding. and I'll venture that she'd get busy and get her a suitor.'
 But in that case maybe it wouldn't be the right man." said the nice young
 fellow. despondently. showing plainly that
 he knew who and where the right young man was at that very moment.
 Don't you worry. l said consolngly,
 lover her meeting the right young man.
 What curious fallaey that is. to be II sure. We go through life wickedly
 straning our eyes at the distant hori-
 zon, wondering if the man for whom we
 are created is there. No matter where , he Is, he is coming toward you right
 now. What is my own will come to me-
 That isn't my idea, you understand. but
 the knowledge, but the knowledge of one of the greatest philosophers of the world
 who declared that never in the course of a life time do We miss meeting friend whom it is designed we should
 meet. We run a grave chance of miss
 ing such one also of missing our ideals
 only when we put down the days task
 and don our bonnets and run away from
 where we are needel-here to meet some
 maginary tomorrow. The man saw that I'd got to moralizing
 again, but he just let me go on
 "There isn't any good reason" l pre- Isumed. ''why we should pine in the i'm prisonment of the actual and sigh for } kingdoms wherein to rule and conquer.
 Carlyle knew when he said f"Here or nowhere.'
