His Parents Object.

D6dT MISS E dIIldA.
 I am twenty-three and am now graduating from a professional col slege. I have loved a young girl of good standing, ability and character for two years. I hope to marry her, but my parents continuously tell me she is poor and inferior. I love this girl dearly and she loves me.
 A. B.
 The man who marries for money is a despicable cad, my boy-just one degree more unpleasant than the girl who sells herself. Your parents are ambitious for you. Fired by their love, they want you to have the tangible assets of life-the material good. If you're real man you can work and win these symbols Of suc- cess.m But the love of a fine woman is above rubies, If you haven't the courage to fight for it you will, fear, never realize your full stature as man.

Her First Ideal.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 : I am not quite seventeen and in love with my employers son. Though he has not in any way encouraged me, yet he pays more attention to me than any other girl in our office. My girl friends warn me not to play with fire, as he is above me in social standing. Do you think that would make any difference
 A. G. You are just idealizing the first at tractive, well born and distinctly eligible youth, who has come your way. If this young man were deeply interested in you, he would not let snobbery stand between you. As it is, he probably thinks of you only then not seriously

CHAPTER CHI.

Virginia, aren't n't'-Jacqueminet roses your faYorites?' asked, stalking my hopes of reconciling- her and Pat on her reply to that question.
 Virginia's eyebrows lifted quizzica!- ly, and she smiled reminiscently for second before she replied: that with such a grave air. Anne '' dent that Pat remembered Of course he wouldn't go spying around on you Of course, he wouldn't ask me to keep him. in formed of your address. But when a lucky chance gave it to him-he best-and sent them with sweetheart roses"
 As I spoke each word tender1y and with slow emphasis, Virginia sat staring at me with puzzled eyes. The quizzica1 smile still touched her lips, but it was fading-and with an air half terrified, half defiant, she was alternately twisting her white hands and then forcing them to lie still in her lap. At last she turned to me with a shy smile that seemed to be- long to no phase of Virginia ever be- fore revealed to me.
 "You seem very fond of Pat, Anne. You seem to-be1ieve in-his sin cerity. Have you known him long? Actually I don't know how you came to meet him."
 "I met him at the Blue Dragon Inn one day when we were motoring with Betty and Terry" I said, glad that I could tell this much of the truth, and hoping that I wouldn't need to reveal the rest of it.
 i'The Blue Dragon? People do meet at all sorts of out of the way places,' said Virginia idly.
 Then she looked up to answer the maid who stood in the doorway.
