The summer I war 10 wm tin momentous one of my first proposal. I went to spend my vacntlon with four cousins In Ken tucky. Ony, charming girls were they, liv ing In a low, roso covered house on the edge of town. Although at home men were not allowed to call, here they could not be kept away from me, as my cousins bad them by tho score. The day before my birthday I met a man a universal bcau-as skilled In the art of flirting as I was unskilled. lie flattered me until my head swam and went through all tho first stages ot a flirtation without onco hinting ot marriage. In a confused, blind way I felt that something was wrong. I was ashamed to tell any one, but I thought he ought to know that I did not think of him as he professed to think of me. Still all he said was so lutanglblol could not refute it nor spcAk out frankly myself. One day when we were driving he sud denly threw his Arm around mo and tried to kiss me. Frightened out ot my wits, I sprang up and actually Unci my foot on the step prepared to go out over tho wheels when he caught my hand. 'Sit down, chlldl" ho said. "I won't touch you." Never shall I forget tho humiliation of that moment. As I look back, I think nothing more unfortunate ever happened to mo than that attempted kiss. It blis tered the unspotted page of my childish be lle! in men, ana ue wen nas never neea smoothed out. '' "There was no harm in what I did," he went on. "It was becauso I think so much of you." No answer from mo. I knew now that he was flirting with me. It made m furious. "Tako me home," I said abruptly. Is the silence which followed, my thoughts spun round and round. I could not formu late them. Suddenly he said, "I love you." I turned and looked at him. It was the first time he had spoken that word. "Yes, I lovo you," he said. "I am very sorry," I faltered, losing my newfound courage and indignation at once. "Sorry f" ho echoed. "Yes, very sorry, for I do not lovo you." "Why do you tell me thaU" ho cried. "Why couldn't you let me lovo you for the few weeks you will be down here without throwing cold water over me in that way t" "Love me for a few weeks) " I said, pus- lad. "Ilnttr An vnn munl'l Ilo laughed in a slightly embarrassed way without reply, so I went ont "Was that cold wafer I did not mean to be rude. I only meant to be honest. I do not want to give you any unnecessary pain." He regarded me curiously. "So you think you couldn't lovo mo?" ho asked. "Not well enough to to marry you," I said, with averted lace ana deep embarass ment. Another long silence, which nearly set me frantic. What had I done? Why stent. didn't he talk? What could he bethinking of? Presently he broke in vehemently wlthi "Yes, I do want you, and you will marry mo, won't 'you?" "Oh, not Plcsso don't nsk me, I was afraid of this, only I couldn't tell you soon or," I faltered, quite alarmed by his. ear- nettness. Ho persuaded and conxed, and I grew almost tearful in denying aim. Final ly he said: "Well, I won't tenso you nny more You Will havo lots of swecthcurts after awhile, and just let me toll you this: If you treat them as you havo mo, they will thnuk God, as I do, that they havo met and loved ono perfectly honost woman." And as he help ed mo down nt our own door he added: "I shall never get over this. I shall uovcr marry." Ho did not como in with me, thereby making every body on tho porch smile, as my guilty aspect could not have failed to do. Ills tone was so tragic that I thought perhaps he would kill himself. But he did not. He married another girl. The next was from a mau who professed to care a great deal for me. It came about in this wayi I was standing at the top of thepinxxa steps as ho enrao up tho w.tlk, and overhead too honoysucklo and nephctos roses met and made an arch. No olio was In sight, but my mischievous cousins were behind the closed blinds and heard every word, especially as they fcald Mr. John talked louder thau ever iii moments of ten derness, so they claimed that his proposal could have been heard "out in tho big road." He took off his hat and stopped at tho foot of tho steps. Without a word of preface he sold: "If I could sec that sweet picture every night when I came home, I wouldn't ask tho Lord to glvo me another thing! Do you think you could do it for me?" "What, staud hero every night?" I said, laughiug, thinking it merely a compliment to my white dress. "Yes, stand thcro every night and let me know that yours was tho faca of my wife." I was too stunned to answer. "Will you?" "Oh, Mr. John I" I gasped. "I love you, sweetheart," ho Bald. "You are the only woman I havo ever loved." I certainly heard a sound behind tho blinds, but did not dare to look around. "Oh, Mr. John!" I said again, llko on idiot. "Could you love an ugly old fellow like me?" he pursued, describing me in three equally flattering words, which I forbear to repeat. "Oh, I don't think you are so very ugly," I said eagerly, trylug to bo both polite and honest. A subdued flapping of tho curtain behind me mado my hair rise, and my contusion was complete when Mr. John threw his head back and laughed so heartily be near ly lost his balance. He interrupted my apology and grew suddenly grave. "Too ugly and old for you to lovo me, sweetheart, but not too old and ugly te love you. Pretty soon you'll go back up north, but you'll not forget that there's one old fellow dewn south who loves you and would marry you, no matter how old you were you couldn't be ugly any time you wanted him." "Oh, how good you arel" I exclaimed sincerely, for bis offer seemed, to my Inex perience, a very handsomo one. I gave the required promise. He begged a rose from mo and came m. I called the girls, who entered with mischievous eyes, and ho mado a long call, quite as it ho had not been rejected to start with, For n wholo year Bftcrwnrd I scarcely spoko to a tnnn. Then came en end to school days nod my debut. Presently I had a curious And disagree ablo oxierlenco-n pro.al which umkt mo l7 turns angry, ninutcd nnd rcmom ful. It was from n young Kngllshtnnn. Ills haughty mother openly detested America and regarded American girls ns only be.ir abte If enormously wealthy, ncr eldest on married n cool million. Her youngest, her Idol, was so foolish as to fall blindly In low with n dowerlcss rl. Ho mado as much love to me as ho dared under tho stony eyes of his mother, nnd then I went with my family to the hen shore for the summer, Perhaps he mtarcri me; perhaps she forbade him to consider mo. At Any rate, something made hint follow me. I remember thnt he was playing the "Pil grim Chorus" when I came In from a walk, and ho said sdmlringlyi "Whnt n nest little Ally you Are!" "Use tho plural, please," I said, "Plural, how?" he questioned stupidly. "Phyllis, not filly. Besides, how dare you comparo roe to a horse? I detest It!" "I hope you don't detest me, for I love you." "Nonsense! What would your mother say If sho could hear you wooing a girl who Is no heiress a plebeian American at thatl T..ko carol" "I don't caro what she'd sayl I lovo you even If you are an American. I love all America for your sake, Although, I confess, I used to hate it. Only an Amorican shall be my wife, if she will have me, and my mother sffall recclvo hcrl The little American shull hold hcrown with even my mother. What docs sho sat?" "Sho says this: Tho llttlo American is too proud to marry into any family whero sho Is not welcomed by all. The slurs cast upon American girls by your mother in my presenco ring In my ears too loudly for me to hear you. Your mother's pride forbids you to marry aught save money. My prldo forbids nu to marry aught save tho man." "Hang mo it I don't tell her what you sayl" he exclaimed In delight "What a high stepper you Arel I like you for it. You ought to be in our family. I'll marry you yet, And my mother shall be as glad to get you as I, for I lovo you, Phyllis." "If you do, you will never mention the subject to me again, for not only do I not love you In tho least, but I can't even re spect a man of your well known habits. I've remonstrated with you often, and you won't even try to give them up. You mako a bad lover; you would make a worse hus band." "I'll reform It you'll marry me. If 1 could bo with you always, I couldn't help being better." "Try it alone first. You are going down hill fast. Be n man for tho sake of your own inanuood ana not to please a weak woman." "I can't. I need your dally help." "You shall havo it," I said eagerly. "Come nnd sou me every day if yonj like." "No, I mcun your hourly presence, I must bo suro of you first. I want to reform for my wife. Dear Phyllis, please say 'Yes.'" "No, no!" I said. "I hope you wont think mo unkind, but I can't." "Unklndl" ho echoed. "I think you an the crudest girl I ever knew. I don't be lieve you lovo me at all." "Why, of course I don't! Did you think" J "I think thnt you have driven mu to de spair. And when tho worst comes just say to yourself t 'This Is my work. Ialonocould have saved him, and I wouldn't.'" "I shan't," I said hastily and inelegant ly. "Because it isn't. It won't be, I don't." "Phyllis, yi u llttlo think whnt you have done today. If you persist, you hnvo de liberately destroyed n man's soul. Men's souls aro In tho hands ot women. Mine is in yours. What will you do with it?" As usual, I was badly frightened. I felt faint, but I stood up nnd held out both hands to him, saying tremblingly: "I give it back to you just as I received It. I dnro not undcrtnko tho responsibility. Make of It what you will." Ho crushed both my hands in his ami then Hung them from him. "I'll go to tho devil thcnl" ho aald, and I think ho kept his word. Ono day enmo an offer from a man who had loved mo ever slnco I was n llttlo girl and who Is tho only lover I ever bad who becsmo my friend afterward. It seems to mo I must always havo known that ho loved me. and ho is still so unselfish and pa tient n friend that I always think ot him as unchanging. All that he said was: "Pb) Ills, wo have gono thus far tin life apart. Can't we go the rest of thq way to gether?" And when I said "No" and be gan to excuse myself h stopped me: "Dear girl, doa't say that to me, I havo loved you much too long nnd too well not to know you. I understand all you would say. Trust me ns I trust you, and forget everything I ever said, except that my heart aches with lovo for you. Remember that always. Shall we walk on?" I was so dismayed by his abrupt dis missal of tho subject that I nearly fell down Instead. How conventionality helps one through u crislsl Tho last ono was from a man i.ta ball. On his dress coat, ns ho claimed me for n waltz, was a long, white thread, I smil ingly called his attention to it and took it off, My sister saw mo, and knowing things were in thnt interesting condition when a word would precipitate matters thought to tease mo by saying: "Who Is it that says if n woman will take tho troublo to pick n thread from n man's coat that man may havo her for the ask ing?" She laughed gleefully nt our dis comfiture and floated away. The first time wo stopped to promenade my partner glanced down nt me, and there, caught in tho flowers ot my gown, was this same long thread. He bent down to take it off just as wo cmnoto a dealing among tho dancers. "What aro you doing?" I said. "I'm picking threads off your coat," he repented, stepping in front of me. "Will you?" I thought he meant would I go on with the waltz. I laid my hand in his, and we melted into our places. "Did you understand?," he whispered. Now, it' is bad enough to havo to refuse a man on the sofa, but to lmye to dolt when you are in his very arms; when, while ho tells you over nnd over thnt he love you, he can emphasizo with a hand pressure without reproof; when every second you are imperceptibly being drawn closer and clossr.uotll the wretched truth dawns upon you that tho music and the dauco are sec ondary things, and that in reality you aro being bugged, actuully bugged by a man whom you nro not going to marry you must renst the Impulse to put both bandt AKalnst him and push with ull your might.
