There's'a a Difference.

The main difference between men
and women Is nowhere so marked as 1t
is In the distinction between character
and ability.
A mans ability is entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character ut all. He may
have small abilities and large charac-
ter. In a man the two things appear
TO be entirely independent of one an
other.
But a woman's character is deter
mined by her, ability, and her ability Is
determined by her character. In real
ity, therefore, women are much more
simple than men, although they do not
appear to be so. Women are more
complicated outwardly than men. They
offer more superficial variety. But
closer observation and association
among them tend to make them more
alike.

Jimmie Walker had spent his youth
fal life In an atmosphere whose ozone
had been largely feminine; he had
devoted by far the greater portion of
his college days to the wOmanly at
fractions. and even after he had ac-
cepted much-sought-after position on
the Press and had commenced to real

there twas something attractive in the
slender face beneath those bright,
wavy locks, and humbly apolOgized for
his undress appearance-he had thrown
of his coat-and the belittered condi-
ton of the office.
He went to those theatricals, refus-
ing q complimentary ticket, and
watched her play the heroine with far
more schoolgirl grace and bashfulness
than histriOnic talent, and discovered
that he was envying the young man
who took her in his arms and called
her his own.
He danced with her after the per-
formance. too, and vaguely felt that his
six feet two better became her tall,
slender figure than did the stout form
OF her lover in the play whose eyes
rarely met hers in direct glance.
So things drifted along. The spring
was born of the winters SHOWS and
the blossoms Of summer came out of
the buds and died in the autumn's
blast, and the glow of the Yuletide
candles gave warmth and beauty to
the cold. white reflections from out Of
doors; and he stood beneath the mis-
tletoe. and taking her in his arms,
pressed kiss on her lips and called
her his own. and the only applause was
In their hearts, for this was not play
acting.
Now, Jimmie Walker had never
been exactly a saint, although no one
ever had called him fast young man.
He had taken life pretty much as he
had found It., and had never judged
men by their own comparison. but by
his ideal, and had associated with them
according to his personal taste. He
was rather free and easy, and would

loose In his morals, nor had he ever
been in that enviable condition called
by the city room, ''full." He frankly
told all this to Miss Knight and in
compliance with her earnest request,
promised to cease his visits to the
Quiet house or similar places, and man.
fully kept his promise.
Jimmie was very happy in his en-,
gagement to Miss Knight and looked
forward to the coming fall with great
pleasure, for then was to come his we'd
ding. For her sake he gave up his Wis.
its to the rather Bohemian Press club
and confined his time to her or his
den, where his books were his com.
pany, and even gave up his pipe, be-
cause he felt that tobacco fumes were
not consistent with her purity, and
that the money he smoked had better
be saved. So his promotion came
