(Centinued from Yesterday


But, on the whole, he behaved
discreetIy. and with much circum-
spection: and within his youthful
heart lay that deathless magic OF
the creative mind which trans
mutes leaden reality into golden ro-
mance-which is blind to the sordid
and which transforms 1t into the
picturesque.
A saucy smile from a pretty girl
on an April day germinated into a
graceful string of verses by night; ;
chance encounter by the Seine, a
laugh, a gay adieu--and a delicate
short story was born. perhaps to
be labored over and groomed and
swaddled and nourished into life
or to be abandoned. perhaps. In
the back yard Of literary debris.
Life ran evenly and pleasantly
for Cleland in those deathless days
light, happy. irresponsible days
when idleness becomes saturated
with future energy unawares: when
the seeds Of inspiration fall thick Ell
and thicker and take root: when
the liberality, the vastness. and the
inspiration Of the world begin to
dawn upon youthful intellect, not
oppressively, but with a wide and
reassuring kindness.
There was young Hirl--very
pretty. whose loneliness made her
not too conventional. After several
encounters on the stairs, she smiled
in response; and they crossed the
Luxembourg Gardens together,
strolling in the chestnut shade and
exchanging views of life.
The affair continued--charmi
and quite harmless---a touch of
tragedy and tears one evening
and the boy deeply touched and
temporarily in love--in love with
love. temporarily embodied in this
blue-eyed, white-skinned. slender
girl who had wandered with him
close to the dead line and was in
clined to cross it-with him.
He had a delightfully."- wretched
hour of renunciation-and was re-
warded with much future material.
though he didn't know 1T at the
time.
There were tears-several. 1t is
not certain that she spiritually ap-
preciated the situation. That sort
of gratitude seldom is genuine in
the feminine heart.
But Sucn tnlngS are very real TO
the creative mind, and Cleland was
far too unhappy to sleep-deeply
wallowing In martyrdom. Fate
laughed and pinned this little epi-
sode on the clothes-line to dry out
with the others-quite a little line
full, now, all fiuttering gaily there
and drying in the sun. And after s.
proper interval Cleland went about
the business of washing out a few
more samples of experience in the
life and manners and customs of
his time, later to be added to the
clothes-line wash.
He had to prod himself to write
to Stephanie. He was finding It q
little difficult to discover very much
to say to her. In youth two people
grow apart during absence much
faster than they grow together
when in each others company.

The Restless Sex
A Romantic Film Drama With
MARION DA VIES
By Robert w. Chambers.

1t was so with Cleland and Steph-
anie-less so with her.
Not seeing her for nearly two
years left him with the uncon-
scious impression that she had not
altered during that period-that
she was still the same young girl
he had left, no more mature, no
more experienced. little wiser.
Her letters were interesting but
he had lost touch, in a measure,
with interests and people at home
He had adapted himself to the new
angle Of vision. to the new aspect
of life, to new ideals, new aspira-
tions. He was at the source OF in
spiration, drinking frequently at
times. always unconsciously ab-
sorbing.
At the end Of the two years he
had no desire to return to New
York.
A series Of voluminous letters
passed between him and Stephanie
and between him and Miss quest.
He had plenty of excuses for ro-
naming another year; hts education
was not completed he needed a cer-
tain atmosphere and q certain en-
vironment which could be enjoyed
only In Europe.
OF course. II he were needed in
New York, etc, etc.
No. he wasn't needed. Matters
could be attended to. The house in
Eightieth street ought to be closeo
as 1t was q useless expense to keep
the servants there.
Janet. too, was dead; Lizzie had
gone back to Ireland. The house in
town should. therefore, be closed
and wired: and the house in the
country, Runners Rest" should
remain closed and in charge of the
farmer who had always looked out
for 1t.
This could be attended to; no
need Of his coming back.
So he wrote his directions to
Stephanie and settled down again
with a sigh of relief to the golden
days which promised.
His work, now deeply colored by
Gallic influence and environment,
had developed to that stage Of en-
bryonic promise marred by manner
isms and affectations. His style,
temporarily spoiled by sort Of
Franco-American jargon, became
involved in the swamps of psycho-
logical subtelties, merging jerkily
at times, or relapsing into Debussy-
like redundancy.
Nobody wanted his short stories,
his poems, his impressions. Publish
ers in London and in America re-
turned "Day Dreams" and "Out of
the Depths" with polite regrets. He
sounded every depth Of despond-
ency and seh-distrust; he scared on
wings Of hope again striving to
keep his gaze on the binding source
Of light, only to become confused
and dazzled in the upper oceans and
futter and come tumbling down.
frantically beating the too rarified
atmosphere with unaccustomed
wings.

The attitude OF the young man
did not fail to impress the older. II
seemed for a moment that he had
been the victim OF a baseless SLAM
der. II seemed preposterous that
he should ask the poet to leave his
house because OF attacks which
Julian now assured himself were
UNANIMOUSLY unjust.

BRAND, Democrat, of
Athens, Ca, born April 20,
1861, evidently prefers very learn
ed wives, as he has married daugh-
ters of two judges of his State.
He has been a widower since 1912
probably waiting for another
judges daughter. Mr.. Brand has
typical Southern home at
Athens, with beautiful white col
umns,
He has plenty of money. AS he
is not more than 5 feet 6 inches,
he no doubt prefers the petite
type of Southern beauty. He has
two married daughters by his first
wife, and daughter twelve years
Of age by his second wife. He be-
longs to several fraternities, was
judge for many years, and has
always held public position. He
is a conscientious representative,
and can usually be seen on the
floor of the House when it is in
session. They say that he prefers
brunettes.

Parcel posting eggs has long
since passed the experimental stage.
Its practicability Is demonstrated by
the fact that more parcels of eggs
pass through the mails than of any
other product
While the great bulk of eggs
which come from distant producing
territory will continue to be ship
ped by other methods, ii is no doubt
true that many cities can be sup
piled with a considerable portion of
their fresh eggs from within the
first and second zones by parcel
post to the advantage of both pro-
ducer and consumer. By such di-
rect contact the producer should
secure better prices for his
eggs than are realized by pres
ent methods Of marketing and
the consumer should obtain a fresh
er quality at no increased cost or,
frequently, even at reduction in
price.
