have given you many an unhappy
hour. and I would not have made you
unhappy for one minute Of your life.
But now that it is all over. yes,
Leslie. even my love for you has be-
come just a tender memory, and I
Know that it was more Of the adora-
ton Of a boy than the real love Of a
lifetime.
For. Leslie, I have asked your sis
ter Alice to be my wife and she has
told NEE shyly that she has always
loved me even as little girl. and that
it almost broke her heart TO feel that
all these years 1 had made you the
Madonna Of my dreams, you had
really cared nothing for me.
I think. Leslie, you will agree with
me, that it was very brave of Alice TO
arrange for you to have the pearls.
In fact. you owe any gratitude you
might have for them to her instead
Of me, for / believe the child knew
in her soul that she would catch my
heart on the rebound.
She generously gave you the pearls
which might have been hers, If she
had told me that she saw no way of
my being able to give them to you.
However, all's well we'll that ends
well. You probably will be no more
troubled by bLaclmailers and I have
been able to get together a much
more beautiful string for Alice So
hope every one Is satisfied.
Quiet Wedding
We are coming home very soon, as.
Of course. I am anxious for an early
wedding and Alice insists, while it
shall be a very quiet one, it must
be in her fathers house.
She is a wonderful girl, that little
sister Of yours, Leslie, and you will
forgive me. won't you, IL I tell you
that I am glad you passed me over
to marry John Alden Prescott.
Affectionately. your brother, n

A British critic OF the modern girl
accuses her Of lack OF intelligence and
shortage In knowledge OF life's affairs
There may be many counts against the
girl Of today. but II hearsay Is to be
accepted, those listed by the English
critic are not among them. The mod
ern girl has an intelligence thnt stag
gers those reared In the old school.
She is quick TO learn, from jazz to the
classics, and knows how to make the
most Of opportunity. AS for the affairs
OF life. II there is one line along which
she has knowledge It Is that. She
knows more OF life and Its affairs in
a minute than did her grandmother in
year. says the Washington Post.
There may be some life affairs that
the modern girl doesn't know, but no
one knows that she doesn't know.

PRESIDENTIAL GREETING

Many Washington tourists who are
anxious to see all the sights will re-
gret that President Coolidge feels he
can no longer shake hands with all
comers. Still they might reflect that
the President was not hired to shake
hands with gaping tourists, a job
which his secretaries can perform
equally we'll 1t takes a certain
amount of vital force for President
to meet a constant succession of peo-
pie, says the Newcastle Courier. Re
cent history has shown that the en-
ergies Of our Presidents are severely
strained. There is a powerful curios-
ity on the part Of the public to see IA
nous men. People will stand for hours
on the sidewalks while they wait to
see a procession pass by with the no
tables bowling and smiling. That
might have been appropriate enough
In the days OF kings, when the rulers
set themselves up to be above com
mon clay. But Presidents are just
ordinary men, and they want to be
treated as such. They should not be
placed on show like lion in a menag-
