to be nobody's business whether Har-

| After dinner Harry casually asked if
Pauline thought her adventures would
lead her to Paris. Pauline thought it
likely, whereat Harry remarked that
he might see her over there.
| Il haven't been to Paris since
was kid, and | really ought to see
it, don't you think?"
! Yes" agreed Pauline, without en-
thusiasm but wait until we are mar
ried and we'll do Paris together"
No Polly, that won't do. I'm sor-
ry, but as you say, you can't see life
after you're married and settled down,
so I'll have to do Paris alone"
Pauline experienced very unpleas-
ant sensation. 1t was sort of gener-
al jealousy of her whole sex. No nice
girl likes to think of the man she
loves alone in Paris.

Harry's tone was matter of fact and
guarded, and his eyes We're on the
unromantic spectacles of Aunt Corne-

Harry did look at her and gazed
straight into her eyes. He tried to
think of them as they really were, on
ly two dark blue organs of sight, shad-
ed by long and silky lashes. AS al
ways he wondered why the lashes
grouped together in little bundles of
half a dozen or more giving a starry
effect
Harry, are you sure you love me?'
Pauline whispered.
Polly, / know it, and everybody
else knows it except you. Get Owen,
he's notary public, and I'll take an
oath before him that you have been
the only girl in the world, are now and
ever will be, world without end,
amen"
And 1 love you, Harry" said Pau
line, lowering her eyes until he saw
only the, silky lashes.
why, Polly, that's the first time you
ever volunteered that information
Yes, Harry, love you too much
to let you go to Paris"
| Paris can't hurt me unless let il
hurt me-"
Harry, you wont be quite the same

from Paris. Will you promise not tc
go until we are married?
will you promise not to go on this
trip of adventure?

Because you wont ever be quite
the same sort of girl when you come

something in his thoughts. He was
