WHY OHIO IS PROUD.
Not much Is heard or Ohio as a
corn state , but only sevell out of the
other H beat It in the size of tIO crop.
The average population of the counties -
ties or Ohio is about OOOO , but of the
88 only 20 or 21 exceed that Umit.
There are more men fit for m1l1-
tary duty in Ohio than fought at Mule.
den , in the Japanese and Russian
armies eombine .
If the people of Ohio stood side by
side , with outstretched arms , touching
finger Ups , the Une would reach from
13oston to San Frmclsco , with a larg' )
margin left.
The .first seUiements in Ohio were
made in the southcastern part of the
Etate , but now that section is less pop.
ulous than alm03t any . other. . It contains -
tains no great cit ' .
No precious mEtals have O\'er been
, mined in Ohio , but the value of the
coal and iron dug out of the Ohio hills
every year exceeds that of the gold
of Colorado or California.
Only ono state-IIIinols-wbich is
younger than Ohio is more populous ,
Illinois is much larger In area. No
state later in date of settlement has

The distinction of being the oldest

one of four trees. A century ugo De

Delia's Diary
( Hcr Finnl Entry )
B , GERTIE DE S. WENTWORTH.JAMES
lON'rlsllt , IJ ) ' Joseph B. BOWles. ,
I am thirt ' to-day (301 ( XXXII ) , nnd
Dol's birthday present ( the ( ourth
sin co. our marriage ! ) is l 'lng on the
writing table in the sunshine.
Thirteen : > , ears ago ho gave mo a
heart-a ' little shnplo gold thing-and
t -dny ho gives mo yet another !
Dut this ono is set with dlnn1 nds ,
diamonds that shine with emblemntcal !
) . ires of lIawless purity.
It is wonderfully sweet that m ) '
birthday gift shaH still bo n. heart-at
.thirty !
1'lvo 'ears ago I feared the mirror.
but to-day 1 sit before it bravel ) ' , and
, viUtout a pain.
' 1'hls morning Del [ wol\O mo with a
Itiss.
"
"Wake up , my birthda ' wife , " he
whispered , standing tall , bronzed and
tweed-clad b ' the bedside.
For a moment I could not quito realize -
lizo things , but then suddenl ' 1 remem-
' ered which blrthdny this was.
"Dolf , Dolf ! " 1 murmured , with my
fneo bmied in his neel , ( that deal'
brown bit between his nearly curling
hair and collar ) , " 1-1 am thirty to-
ayl"
"Thirty' { And wo were married just
after you were twenty-fivo ! 'Veil , thanl ,
God , only four years of our 11fo together -
gether have gone by so far , sweetheart -
heart ! "
DoIf never mentions the old 10\'e-
story , of which he Imows nothing
( not e\'en a name , nor an inchlent ) except -
cept thnt I was-jilted ! But sOllle-
tlmos when 1 look up suddenly and see
his eyes fixed wistfully UpOll my face , , ,
1 feel that ho is mutely aaldng if his
rival still lives in a sacred place called
: Memory-Iand.
1 wish 1 could answer him , but I
cannpt-qute ! 1 thinlt 1 know ; but it
is so dangerous to be sure !
A woman's heart is such an indefi-
nlto thing ; she can never be certain
or it as long as the elusiveness of remembrance -
membrance alone separates the past
frolll the present.
To-night we are giving n 1Ittlo "dou ,
zaino' dinner , " because Dolf will never
allow my birthday to go by without
some celobration. ( To me It seems I
such n childish idea ! Why fete pea.
, plo because of events over which they
'had ' no control ? But then , dear big
bronzed men are always childish ! )
Erica and Oscar are coming ( Erica's
beginning to 100'e dinners ! ) , Aimee
Belloby andOh ! a telegram ! Pardon -
don , ana moment , my Birthday Diary.
. . .
Only from DoIf sa 'ing that as Do1.vid
Hexton is up at the club with a
sprained anlde , ho w1l1 bring another
man in his place.
How \'exing ! I do dlslllte strangers
at dinner !
Never mind , the man is sure to be
dineable , or else Dolt woullln't bring
him home , and 1 expect e\'eryone else
was engaged. Another interruption !
The dressmaler this time , 1\Iy Birthday -
day Diary , I will return to you later.
11:30 : p , m.
The Dirthday dinner is o\'er , the people -
ple have gene , nnd 1 am sitting with
the summer night breezes stealing
through the open window of my bou-
doir-ruming the lace and roses on my
breast.
How strange , how infinitely strange
it is to think that less than 12 honrs
ago I was wondering , and now-I
know !
I want to write it all down , in case
1 forget anything of this wonderful
peace-giving evening ; I want to always -
ways remember , so thnt there can
n ver be any doubt again.
Dolt's train was late , so 1 did not see
him until we were all sitting in the
drawing room waiting for the chimes
to sound.
"DeHa , " he said , coming to my side
and laying his hand on my shoulder in
a way that alwas mal\Cs mo feel sorry
for lonely women ; "D e1l\ ! , let me Introduce -
troduce 1\11' . Dullhnore-great frIend of
Charlie Bensted's , and a s ratch golf-
mtln , pllHmore ! ; 111r 'YJfQI"
I And thus , aftol' eight 'ears , 1 touched II
the Ilt\l1d which had bruised all the
'yo\\lll \ OUt oi my heart !
" 1\11' . DulUmore and I have met before -
fore , " 1 ! 'laid ' , finding it strangely easy
to be cordial , and to spoal , without a
tremor in my'oice. .
George bowed low over my hand , and
1 couldn't help noticing his head. I
had so adored its sleelmess ; bul. no'\- ;
\VeIl , It wasn't greasy , of cou 11t"1 H
must bo that 1 had got so used to
Dolf's insistent tendency towards : ; up-
,1lressed curls and avoidance of gelatine -
tine !
Flvo minutes lator. we were busy
with hal's d'oeuvres and remarks that
didn't matter , whllo George ( who sat
at my left ) and 1 probed , t o past with
u long , almost dissecting 1001 , .
At last , after wo had waded through
unnacessary and unwanted. courses , 1
snared Lady Stormont's eye , and we
rose from the' table.
I .
( Until that instant 1 had forgotten.
that George was-short ! )
When the men rejoined us In the
drawing room , Arthur l\I1tre-Covell
crossed to my sido.
" 1\11' . D-Du1l1moro and I ha\'e been
discussing Lanroy frJm the point of
, view of n p-portrait p-painter , Mrs.
, Kennett. Mr. D-Dul11moro condemns
his fiesh tints and 1 uphold 'em : d' 'ou
mind showing him that tr-trlumph of
you that is hung in the bllllnrd room ?
lIt so emphatically gives my side of the
! questlon a chance. "
"Dy all means , " I repBad , looking

tor11y. "Come this way. "
As we entered the billiard room I
switched on tlto light.
"Now , : \ \Iitre-Coyell : , " I began ,
"hero Is the picture , but- "
"Don't wnste 'our words on the nb.

ment. . said George , stl\mllng close at
my elbow and looking at the pearls
nbout m ' neelc.
( I could feel his e'es' )
"Oh ! er-well , here io the pictlll'e. "
There wns a silence ( those silence
used to be polgnnnt , but now the ) " only
seemed e Ill ) ! t ) " ) , and the I' I felt n 11.Illd
on my nrm.
I turned , and there was the old cohl
look , behind which burnt l'luzing IIres.
"I-I don't Imow if I love you tonight -
night , or if 1 actuQ.II ' o"er did 10vo
) 'ou : but-but whatever it wns , it is
still Della ! I'vo tried to burn \ it out ,
bu t the fires go on 111m the fire. " of hell I
Della , loolc at me-11Iw 'ou used to
loolc : "
I turned I\nll faced him. Now was
m ) " mOlllent-my test !
"Della- "
His hands were on my bands , . , \S \
e 'es were close to mine : then , with n
swirl movement that surprised myself ,
1 reached the door !
'rhe supreme test wns not wanted-
the tOlich of his lips need not bel
I Imow !
"I'm glad 'ou 111\0 the picture , Mr.
DulHmore , " 1 said , crossing the corridor -
dor nnd reentering the drawing room.
" : \11' . l\11tre-Coyell , I don't think 'ou'll

what he thinks or it. . . . Aimee , do
sing that delicious little thing yon
sang at the Palmers tons' the other
night-ail about oiseau" and l1\1ntemps ,
'ou remember ? So light and lovely it
was-tJolf called it u soumo song ! "
And with these last words I actually
moved townrds my husband , and laid
m ' hand for on uassing Instant on
his arm.
His eyes lighted-I so rarely ever
1001 , towards him in pUbl1c-md ,
glancing : It George for the first time , I
realized how strongly a Napoleonic
profile could suggest cheap grease-

At last. it was over , they had all gone
nnd the room was free from deal ! illusions -
lusions and revised epigrams.
Dolt' WS bending over the sofa
strollng the cat ( dear , hungry , val-
Helms : thing he had rescued in the
Square Gardens ) , when 1 made up my
mind to tell him what there was to
tell.
"Dolf , " I snid , talting one of his big
hands in both m ) " own , "H-have you
eyer , , : ondered about the man who
jilted me so long ago-wondered if-
if I ever thinl. of him 1"
"or cOIII'se , dnrling , I've wondered ;
but as 'ou'\'c given yourself to me
I've no right to bother you nbout your
memories , my Delia. 1 lenow th-thn
a woman can't ever quito get over-
those ! Every book tells you so ! " hd
answered , almost wearily and hopoless-
Iy. ( l'd never heard that note in hiS
voice b rore , He'd hidden it all these
) 'eorll ! )
"Then oY ry book is wrong : a woman -
man can get over" memories when
realities come to help her ! " I cried ,
with triumph. "If David Hexton had
not sprained his anlc1e I might never
quite have Imown ! "
"Hexton ? What d'you mean ? "
"I mean that your club friend :
George DulHmore , was the mnn who
nearly lilIed my heart nine years : lgo ,
and I menn that to-day has absolutely
effaced yesterday-wiped it out as if
It had ne\'er been ! When 1 saw
George to-night 1 felt as ana feels on
reopening a meritless bygone book
( which had proved entrancing ) after
one's literary Wste has become moro
matured ! . . . You need never again
ask me that silent queol1ou which I
have seen shining from your eye& , my
husband , For all time I answer it now ,
and vOluntarll-1 answer it , dear , l11te
this ! "
And I Itissed Dolf's hlg brown hand ! '
And now , my Birthday Diary , ahall
we say good-by to each other ?
Your few leaves ( which were so
white and virgin just 1\ : \ years ago )
are all covered with the blotted confes ,
