BY CONSTANCE CLARKE.

ut seems q year since last night. and
in the hustle Of saying good bye to
Il the crowd I didn't see Dick alone a
single minute And when | got up 10
the den ] was too excited to lhink, so
] got right into bed and closed my
ewes and | thought Ia never z" to
sleep. People In love don't, as rule
but ! guess must have been very
tired. because ! fen asleep almost as
soon as my head touched The pillow.
And ! dreamed about him. cant re-
inen,her much beside Uhrl Of wind.
Anyway, We seemed to be sailing away
on two clouds and every time DICK
came anywhere near me I called out
"Please don't come any nearer, Dick,
but he didn't pay any attention; he Just
tried TO bump his cloud into mine, and
! was sure we'd both he killed And
then suddenly there was cloud with
a big headlight coming straight for us,
and I wasn't . bit afraid and tried TO
sail my cloud right into 1t, and II came
nearer and nearer, and II was 50 bright
and It kept getting brighter and bright
err. and suddenly | woke up and found
cretonne curtains right on to my pillow.
Such a funny dream, ! thought as !
yawned and smiled al myself in the mir
ror on my dressing table And then up
came Mary with tray and big box.
"oh. Mary" ! said you shouldn't
spoil me like this"
BUT Mary laughed, and forgot all
about my breakfast tray when | hold
the big box in my arms.
american Beauties, ! sighed softly,
as / lifted them out and held them
against my hot checks, Aud then !
reached for the tiny white envelope and
promptly forgot everything else in the
world
"A kiss upon each petal Dick were
The only words written on The care.
But Dick had no business TO send me
all those kisses. and so perhaps
ought not TO keep the roses, and then
laughed az myself Oh. | was so happy,
and I held the roses in one arm all tan
gied NJ IN the lace OF my night gown
and balanced my coffee cup with the
ether, and Just laughed and laughed
Nrd everybody iu the world seemed 70
be laughing The sun kept grinning and
ttying To poke his yellow fingers through
The 'ndow pane. and mother was hnn}-
-mipe soft little tune downstairs, and
was Peggy Dean, and yet was quite
q different reggy, the Peggy J used

] wondered what | would do when he
came, aud I began TO wonder II ! were
Could I be- And then | tumbled out
of he'd and looked at myself in the
glass. I'm afraid looked too radiant.
} never knew any one to stay as happy
AZ Chat. and Vet it wasn't very much
"a wish for Just to be happy.
"Do YOU think l could be. MOTHER
said. hreathlessly, rushing downstairs
With my hair all mmbing into my eyes.
ard forgetting that she wouldn't know
what J was talking about
Gould be what, Peggy
''roo happy" | said. backing out of
the room. Mother has such very keen
eyes sometimes. Some one | know told
me once that it was an easy matter TO
read right into my soul, and the things
that she read weren't bit nice, and she
is SO very wonderful and ! wanted her
20 like me So very much that / have
never quite forgotten about II.
Did Dick send the lowers said
mother. not looking mp from her work,
Eyes" assented, pausing in the door
way
"AOd that's why you're happy she
went on. Don't make the mistake Of
falling in love with love, little girl
And then l went upstairs very
thoughtfully and put my roses in water.
What's the difference between falling
in love with love and falling in love with
q man More problems, and JUST can't 4
stop being happy long enough to think
To-day nick, am in love with YOU or
am in love with love- Anyway, I'm In
love,
