all drab and grey and like the epilogue
of her own life story
And Nathalie blissfully forgetting that
she was the girl and remembering only
that she was a grl-went.
At first the little gayetles. once 80 dear
to her and now 30 seldom in her life,
were merly stimulating and a means to
forgetting the aches and doubts in her
heart Then she began enjoying her
good times-and feeling grateful to the
man who gave them TO her-and then
came a timid fondness for the man who
understood her instead OF demanding
that she understand him.
No longer did she wait for home calls
that did not come. No longer did she an.
ticipate engagements that were broken
at the last minute. Ard the man who
took her for granted wondered why she
was always so placid and CHEEKY now-a-
days and then concluded that she was
a sensible little thing who saw the fulfill
ity OF nagging at him because he could
not see her more often and devote his
life to giving her good times.
For three months one man devoted
himself to making her happy. and the
other looked forward to the time when he
could let her make him happy And
then one night tile good friend who was
making Nathalie happy turned into a
lover ana she found his arm a haven
from all the turmoil Of litu.
The next day she sent for the man who
had taken her for granted and told him
of her engagement.
"He loves me and wants to devote his
life TO making me happy" said she.
But ] need YOU. ] can't be happy
without you. You love me- said he.
And he swept her into his arms. where
she found turbulent emotion and wild I'M

And so they were married--and did not
live happy ever after. although the girl
tried her best.

There was once a man who had been in
love with many wonderland then he met
the girl. He knew her at once, and in
the light of his knowledge he felt swept
out of his own life course into one that
was new and strange.
He felt suddenly good, and he desired to
be better.
Il am not worthy of you" he told the
girl, but don't give me up-perhaps I
will be some day"
He fully intended to be worthy-when
he got around to it, But in the mean
time there were the books OF his old
way Of living to close; there was a little
more freedom TO be enjoyed-a little more
