The larder at Alice's house furnished the chief attraction there. It was so different at Maude's no jazz, no radioand only occasional refreshments. There were books on the tables, hooks on the arms of the chairs, and Maude always seemed to have a book in her hand when she came forward to greet you. Malcolm found himself dreaming of n home of his own, with a background of books and gradually he realized that the dream woman who figured in the foreground was Maude.

Malcolm decided that he would try and bring the conversation around to the subject of matrimony, lie didn't want to plunge headlong into a proposal of marriage without giving Maude some sort of warning. So, late one afternoon when lie was calling on Maude and no one else was present in the book-lineliving-roohe remarked that he thought that every young man or woman ought to think of marriage as the only satisfactory T- Jllllp - d sort of existence. Maude fingered the leaves of the that lay on the arm of her chair. "Funny," she said, "I was just reading about marriage. 'Marriage is terrifying,' I have just read. 'Marriage is certainly a perilous remedy. Instead of on two or three you stake your happiness on one life only" as Stevenson says." Then she looked through the little volume for another quotation. "'But marriage, if comfortable, Is not at all heroic he says here. 'It certainly narrows and damps the spirits of generous man.' A few days later Malcolm summoned courage to broach the question of marriage again. He said he thought that remaining a bachelor made a man narrow and selfish. Maude smiled a little. "You know what Stevenson says," she countered. "'If you wish the pick of men, take a good baclv eior." So things drifted. Whenever Malcolm was brave enough to start the subject Maude was ready with a quotation from Stevenson. Malcolm had determined that she was the girl he wanted to marry, and since she was so indifferent to his advances, he called on no one for weeks, spending his evenings alone in his room reading. He bought a set of the old favorStevenson and ites, leaving until last some volumes of essays that seemed rather dull. Then one dreary Sunday afternoon he picked up one of these volumes of As he turned the pages he essays. became more interested a few more pages and he seized a pencil and a sheet of paper, jotted down a few words, threw the book the length of the room, hurried into his hat and raincoat and started out. A few minutes later he was with Maude before a cheery fire in her living room. "Look here," he said, drawing his chair nearer to hers. "I've been trying to tell yon something for a long time. And you've been putting me off. But don't think you are the only one who can quote It. L. S.n Malcolm drew the scrap of paper from his pocket " 'Marriage Is terrifying.' Stevenson says but he adds: 'But so i3 a forlu and cold old age. The friendships of men are vastly agreeIt's not able, but they are Insecure. What Stevenson fair half quoting. really said was: 'If you wish the pick of men and women, take a good bachelor and a good wife.'" "I hoped you would be interested enough to find out," said Maude, turning her head away from Malcolm. "But I had made up my mind that yon didn't care very much." "Didn't care," gasped Malcolm. "I cared so much that I read or reread every line that Stevenson ever you wrotetrying to find out where As soon as I got your quotations. found the lines I dashed right over here to do a little quoting for myself." Maude reached over to the table near her and picked her favorite book of essays. She turned over the leaves she rapidlycame to theIt passage Malcolm. to handed wanted and "I've always rather liked this pas Malcolm read the sage," she said, and lines to which Maude's slender finger book FINNEY OF THE FORCE A W book-line- IJ I Cprm II' 3n toliT LSTlS?ei ) otV- TMATHEe eKlGT3 IM BACK ABfiWE tfl"U HEQ MEES-FAT- PlSHES A QUISTSHIN l X whats the maTtUeb?.
