Here we see Chicago with Its fine j well-to-d- decision which common sense, freedom of thought and freedom of action are supposed to confer. infidelity and the overstressed triangle are absent. Art Is the only Jealous mistress here. It has been the achievement of the author to write a real love story of the present workaday world, a story In which maid and man, husband and wife, through all their stress, even angnr and pos.slbly hatred, feel the dynamic current which, steadily draws them one toward the other. attachment touched his arm, his glance came back from the clouds nnd rested on her face and he smiled. Ills smile was charming. His whole countenance broke up Into different lines and planes; his face seemed warmer, nearer. "Hello, Ernestine," he said In a natural tone. "Did you get the bird book?" She laughed with delight. "Will Todd, you are Incomparable." They were shaking hands now nnd laughing together. "To think that you remember me, after all this time. Ten years no twelve! Itut of course I got the bird hook I wrote and thanked you for It! Didn't you get my letter?" She wns conscious of mnny tilings, of Lis clothes, which were till wrong, too bright and loud, each garment chosen without regard to the whole. He was too white, like 3cf r I Call Me Up. IJlCIt life began to have monnlna and importance the day Hint Krnestlne met Will again on Michigan boulevard. She had not seen him since they were both children, the jTcoffman Rosa families, Its beautiful homes, Its great buildings; and then we see Its poverty, its tenements, lis bootleggers and Its gangsters. And thus It is a colorful panorama that makes a background for characters who are as vivid and real as the people you find every day about you. o When the daughter of a family makes a runaway match with the carpenter's son, the family, naturally, objects. The theme Is not new. It Is a famous complication of real life which, In its various angles, has provided Inspiration ever since poets began to sing and novelists to write. This is a story of youth and love that is as new and refreshing as the first violet of spring, yet its problems nre those which mlRht have confronted a pair of lovers at thd dawn of civilization; but In this case they are settled in a truly modern manner, with the advantages nf and nt laxative.

She laughed at his nonsense, but with a certain catch at her throat. When she was eight years old he made a beautiful hook of colored bird pictures for her and bound It. He had brought It from far out on the Northwest side of Chicago, where he lived, to her home In Sheridan Park. She had been at dancing school that afternoon and had never seen him since. "It seems dreadful that yoti should never have been thanked for the hook. I wanted to go to see you again, but no one could tnke me.

And she had never seen him again and thanked him! "What u charming place, Will!" she exclaimed, us they came out on an upper floor and into the room with the walls crowded with brass and metal relief work. Crowded, small, dark tables were set with colored linen runners. At every table there were women smoking, and throughout the room a sprinkling of men who looked strange to Ernestine. They had a foreign, sophisticated ulr. They were not ut u II like papa or Lor-ln- They ordered pastry and colTee and sat leaning forward on their elbows looking at each other, smiling, remembering.

Ills voice thrilled with enthusiasm and excitement "I work In the art department" he told her, and the way he put It, It was a "brag," a superlative announcement "I've been there for a year now, and.
