Ten Persons Have Ten Views OF Life
JIM pF5daced from -:somaNnsfsv
new record and proceeded to turn UT
the rugs. Then he stood before me
and, making a low bow, said: my
dear Mrs. Waverly, may / have the
pleasure of the next dancer"
II am afraid my card Is full, Mr.
Edie, but we will take q dance. as ]
do not see my partner anywhere. ]
don't know anything about these new
dances"
dancer like yourself"
"Flatterer."
II don't fiatter," protested Jim
stoutly The only thing Malcolm
Stuart and I ever agreed on was you
were the best dancer we ever danced
with
''Why did you not like Malcolm,
Jim?" | asked as allowed myself to
be encircled by Jim's arm and we
proceeded to try the one-step.
principally because I thought you
liked him better than you did me, /
guess" was Jim's surprising answer.
but I did not, jim"
Eyes, you did, Margie, and after all
don't know as / blame you very
much. can see how Fascinating
Stuart must have been to women.
But you see, I was too old a friend
TO take kindly to an interloper. 1t Is
astonishing how quickly you pick up
new STEP" he paused to remark, as
he wound up the Victrola ''Do you
know, Margie, If things in the book
concern do not turn out right, you
and will take up professional dane
ing?"
II may be, but you. my dear girl,
are Just q kid. If you would only
take life little less seriously, IL you
could only take life joyously as a kid
does, you would be perfect"
Jim, you're crazy. Did you never
read that poetry about life being real
and earnest?"
"Pirlel All this talk about life.
Margie. Is utterly futile. There is
only one thing to do and that is TO
live life, love 1t and not always be
chewing the rag over it,"
Then you don't think 1t does any
I'd to hold post morterns over the
.nds that fate deals out to your"
mot in O Thousand years. This
digging up the past. whether 1t be
sunshiny or sodden, is the most fool
fish way to pass one,s time
II expect you would marry wom-
an and never tell her a word about
yourself"
Right"
ana WOuiu you Keep IrOIn ner
anything after marrfage?"
IT expect i would, Margie. / have
great little idea of my own that
every person has right to liberty of
thought and action. Why, do you
know, Margie, one of the reasons why
have never married has been I was
afraid I would get hold of ono of
those women who would want to
know it all?"
why, Jim, are you SO bad you
don't want your wife to know 1T all?'
There you go. Mrs. Waverly, just
because I want to keep few things
to myself, you straightaway reach
the conclusion that they will not bear
scrutiny. You would never suspect
that / had no prcsentable toothbrush
because l objected to lending 1t. Why
should I be more Jealous of my
toothbrush than of my tnnermost
thoughts and personal actions?"
Suppose, Jim, became rather IN
terested in you %
II cannot suppose such a wonder
full thing, dear girl. 1t would be too
good to be true"
Nov, stop your foolishness--I am
asking for information. / want to
get the mans point of view. Sup
pose you and had many ideas in |
common and about them we built UP |
a very beautiful friendship which on |
my part at least was perfectly inno-
cent. Then suppose one day you told
me you were more than interested in |
nae and you thought was in 1ove
with you. Suppose we parted then |
and there never to meet again.
'fWhat would you think should |

bury the whole thing out OF sight or
