From tbe ?line when J came to, bo fid cuuugu to think of marriage I look ed upon It lb a feuiltiim-jvny. I didn't say when I wns.grpwu rd be u teach er or a lawyer or anything like that I oaid 1 was going tu be married and iive in a nice, cozy house and thought of my dolls us real children. When I Was eighteen years old my father died und left tue little or noth ing. It looked very nltn li like my be ing forced from ibe domestic life t bad .id out for myself when a child. Will I sham ami I were spoons', but Will' was such un easy, going fellow.that.ho didn't liil itiy ideas of u husbuutl lit all. What I wanted was a strong character* who would make .up my mind for me. relieving me of forming decisions, which I always disliked. Wllf wits tin aitlhible chap, and t was yety fond or 'hint, but it seemed to me that we were too much alike. I. wna' hesitating between Will and stenography-Will was perfectly alilo to take cure of ;me---when WarrC? Itbb Jlu*. came along. It seemed tu uni ?u* Mr. Nobbins was just the. man I wiiiit?fd.- It wan not lung before bo . proposed to me. und I accepted him at ouce. - I confpss it seemed very nice to havo some one to obey. There-are twu di visions of mankind and womankind lu tbWo'duya. I may call them pleaaure ttea Slid, nonpieastireites. Formerly the pleuBUroltes played cards nbd tho noupleasureltes didn't. Now the pleas undtes!lda,hce "tne modern dnik-vs'-nnd the nonpleasureites are shocked *tber? ?t. L found very soon that I was a plcnsureltc and Wnrreii was u nofi pleasureite. I'became infatuated with the. t?tige. Wsrren 'd??hired that any woman who danced th? tango was not the wife be should like to marry. av.. -hadn't been long t?ng"gcd iM?for1^ Wnrreu made thi.x kuowu to me, nnd I reit culled upon to defer to bis wishes. - Somehow tills particular def-\ ?reuce wan net pleasant. I didn't sea s why I shouldn't dance the tango so \ ' long ns'l'tlanced It properly. Warren argued that 1 could not always .rely on finding a partner who would dnhi'e it properly with me and t.bat'the'tend ency of such dances being und.* by ? dancing it i was ePcouruglug vice. I told hlni that 1 didn't agree With him and .should dance the tango. n\Trrop ' 'wa.s,"'somewbat 'surprised at P.and.reminded nio that I 'wishedto >w It leader. Toi this I replied ihht bo tnugo the man guided' the wo ran ii 's steps. " Von should have ;seeu tbe look be gave. me. "That's the most 'brilliant bit of logic 1 ever heard." be skid. "It's worthy of Archbishop Whatcly. who Wrote.ft book on categorical syllogisms and other points pertaining to tbe sub ject.

U.or i% iaagv either.'*.I replied with some enrtness. t'-'sbout like the elingips tine ?m? -tbe itnrdy oak! A tin^eie set up n??t the oak, the vine uncllngs from tho oak and clings to the tiagpble." ' The vine wouldn't do that unless tbe ants had got In under the oak's bnr'.i and rotted tbe trunk/'. "Perce.iving thnt your logic and your similes arc altogether beyond my poor Intelligence.' I bid you good evening." ' I didn't feel very .j*opd over ^tbls. ,Somehow 1 reit that, irrespective of the morality or immorality of tbe tna jgo.jp. dancing it despite;my bunco's, wishes I was not following out that for. which 1 had ;'agreed to marry him. -While I was thinking, ubout it I was called to tbe phone.

We, hart simply not mat ed, that was all. : "Do yon go to tbe-j ball tonight?**. _ he asked, / .^: *,^ Warren. doesn't approve of H these modern dances, and. Just now the old ones are not danced. He won't take n?ev" "Do you suppose- be would let you 'go With me}" ftet m??" "Yes. Haven't yo? said yen were, te marry for tbe purpose of bar miistcr':" -Fil go with you." Thanks awfully!
