no YOU REMEMBER2 You were
u quite a young girl in those days.
You had your share Of the beaux and
altogether you felt that you had about
as good a time as any girl in your
set. George was very attractive and
you wero very fond Of him. He had
a dandy smart roadster. You had such
good times together. Georges father
was one OF the wealthy men of the
city. His office hours were practical
ly Of his own making. He could get
off most any afternoon and when you
heard him blow his horn in front OF
the house, you knew that he had ar
ranged for a little game Of golf out at
the club You enjoyed those games Of
golf together, didn't you2 There was
always a jolly bunch out there most
any afternoon. Sometimes a party OF
you would have dinner together.
which would be followed by a dance
afterwards George was a splendid
beau. wasn't he? You knew that you
that came to town When the opera
came for a fortnight-wen it was
hard to keep him from taking you
practically every evening George
was considered one Of the most eligi-
bic young men in town and you knew
you his close friendship. You were
not exactly sweethearts, but in your
heart you felt that you would have
a decision TO make some day. You
were not worrying about ii muc.l then
but somehow you hoped that things
would go along Just as they were.
\ GU were not in the humOr to want
to decide about the future, and hoped
that you would continue TO be Just
good friends.
Don't you remember that beautiful
moonlight night when you and George
were returning from the theater? II
was such a wonderful night that you
II was such glorious night for a
ride out in the country. George seemed
quieter than usual You knew him
so well that you knew that something
was on his mind. and as you looked AZ
him just as YOU were nearing home
and caught his eye for a moment, you
had very good idea Of what he was
thinking. You were sorry too,
weren't you? Don't you remember
how he took your hand as he was
telling you goodnight on the gallery?
He started to tell you what was in his
heart Let's not talk about that to-
night George you said. Lets wait
until-weu some other time" You
hurried into the house. You were
glad that you put him off You didn't
90 TO sleep for some time after you
went to bed either. did you? You
were very sorry that the time had
come when you would soon have TO
tell him yes" or no" II was so
hard 10 make up your mind what you
would do. You liked him as well as
any other young man you knew, yet I
IN your heart you felt that you didn't
love him and as you looked back over
your association and endeavored 10

him. you soon began TO realize that
you could never marry him
Don't you remember how hard You
tried to go to sleep that night2 Il
had been over an hour since you had
gone TO bed and sleep simply wouldn't
come TO you How wide awake you
seemed Then unconsciously you be-
gan TO picture the man that you hoped
to meet sometime IN the future. You
Jaw one who had accomplished some
thing against heavy odds. who had
probably worked his way through col
lege. One who had a definite aim in
life and who gave himself up to its
accomplishment You knew that his
early struggles would strengthen him
and develop within him the faculty Of
making his own opportunities. You
didn't care whether he had either
money or position II he were the
kind OF man you mad pictured he
would make his own position and you
were sure that he would make a sue
cess Of his profession or business.
Don't you remember how you hoped
that some day you would meet this
man Of your dreams2 Then Just sup
pose he might not fall IN love win
you Well anyway. you didn't worry
much about that You were getting
sleepy At last.
It was possibly several weeks later
that you met Bill He had come TO
see your father on business. Their
conference had not been completed
that day and as he had to return 20
his nome the first thing in the morn
ing. your father had invited him out
to the house for dinner that night.
He asked you II you had any engage
ment, over the phone. He hoped not
as he would ike to have you meet this
Young man He considered him in
teresting and attractive. Don't You
remember how you wondered what
sort OF a chap he might be? It IS in
