love with him and think he is with
me. I have never caught him in a
falsehood and he has never broken
a date with me. He and are going
to get married soon, but know my
father will never give his consent.
Do you think 1t would be wrong to
run away? He IL only 20 years old.

DuLCIE,

DuLCIE.
The sweet" significance of
Dulcie is fully warranted. 1t is
undoubtedly one of the most charm
ing names in feminine nomencla-
ture. 1t has its origin in "dulcis"
meaning sweet" or mild" and is
explained by Spanish authors as
the source OF the Spanish favorite,
Dulcia. Aldoncia and Adoncia are
other forms Of the same name,
which occurred frequently among
the Navarrese and Catalonian
princesses fro mthe year 500 to
1900.
Don Quixote, it will be recalled,

THE DAILY SHORT STORY

she said as she handed the I'D to
the clerk.
That evening was the first in six
weeks that Jack ellis did not see
Sue. For though Sue had been
brave enough during the day, she
had to pay . womans price for un-
pleasant excitement when she was
alone in her two-and-a-half-a-week
room. And Is she was FUZZY aware
that red eyes do not make for
beauty. she refused to see Jack.
It is little wonder that Jack was
down-hearted a. he boarded 9
AFOREMENTIONED car. A suspicious
looking film came over his eyes,
and he picked up . newspaper
which had been left beside him so
that he might>lower his head with

at the paper for four blocks. About
