Ho was wise, ho nsked her to marry
him without showing any emotion ho

startled. .
"You knew that I would ask you to

"Yes," said Diana truthfully.
"Do you think' I could mako you
happy?"
"I don't know. You see. I want to

love you."
"I could make you lovo me," he said
quickly as man has said from time Im

under any conditions.
Dlann shook her head. "I don't think
you could do that. I like you, more than
a little, very much."
He leaned toward her quickly and
his thin eager fingers closed over hers.
"But liking isn't love," Diana finished
raising her eyes to his. They did not

standing on a corner about two squares
from my home. Mo followed me up the

men we met two boys of our acquaint

An Apology, to "Do Jure"
Dear Cynthia It seems to me that I
have nllowed my temper to get tho better
of me, so to try to Bet things right
again, nllow mo to express my apology
to "Do Juio" here.
"Do Jure," you certainly "hit the nalt
on tho head" when you told me I had
lost my temper; but I won't say you
struck It right when you remarked that
I had lack of self-control, I have plenty
of that when I want to uso It. That let
ter was written on the spur ot the mo
ment nnd sent to Cynthia. Perhaps had
I used a little wisdom and thought I
would not have been so rash as to let
strangers seo what a sweet disposition
I havo.
Now I am all sweet and repentant,
nnd I'd like to thank you ror tne nice
fatherly advice you wroto ton little girl
with n very ugly temper, who Is not
worth while writing to. But now I think
I'll try to curb my temper nnd not
show strangers how.enay it Is to lose it
over petty llttlo things Bald to peoplo
I don't even know or over expect to
meet.
So If you'll nccept this npology, I'm
suro I'll never try to meddle In affairs
not concerning me In the future or
"attack tho writer, Instead of his theo
ries," ngaln. Your ndvloe came nt the
right time, I think, because It Isn't tho
easiest thing In the world for a' woman
to npologlze to a man ; nnd that's Just
what your ndvlco la making me do.

I am sorry that tno worthy writer who

clear your column with one jump. The
"Owl" certainly does not carry with It
the beautiful attributes of our fair sis

feminine, ns the girls mostly run to nd

duction nnd trust I may be pardoned If 1
havo Intruded. I nm not lit sympathy
with any knockers of womanhood ;
since when did powder, clothes, paint,
rougo constltuto character, poise, valua

He'o a Happy Man
Dear Cynthia I am a happy man
and I wish to tell it to tho whole world.
"De Jure," with his pessimism, and that
score ot bacheloiq who ure In quest of
the Ideal girl with an extinguished lan
tern, may keep on searching, I havo
found her !
This statement Is not a mere result
ot an erotic outburst, but that of actual
experience.
Her first name starts with a "G" and
her second with an "S." These two
initials could well mand for "God
Sent" without the least exaggeration. 1
have known her for threo years, and
I owo It to her lovo and devotion that
I have been able to pun through the
darkest hours on the battlefields of
France.
Through her love and encouragement
my daily work has become a source of
pleasure to me. llor volco has the sound

from her lips bear traits of wisdom Her
heart Is like that of a child In simplic

SHo loves to obey her mate not
through fear or becausn of her submis

for him. When I look steadily Into her
blue eyes I feel purged ofi all my sins
and my boui is inor.my upiuieu. nno
has a wonderful, self-siicrlllclng disposi
tion ; she Is gentle, Just, altruistic; she
Is an excellent housekeeper and has de
olded culinary ability.
Why shouldn't I consider myself a
honnv mortal. Cvnthla? Is there nny
doubt that the path of my life shall not
be strewn with roses alongside of this
girl? No! Yet ono rends so much In
your columns about the evils In girls of
today that I sometimes wonder whether
men are not prone to.see evil rather than
good In women. The faculty to love,

Malting More Money
A Matter of Hooks
When Miss Rose Ahem was left alone
in a Missouri city sho had. Just $100 In
ths world. Manual labor was out of the
question, hut she had to earn a living,
bo she set her wlls to work nnd did
somo hnrd thinking. One of the things
which sho noticed was tho difficulty Th
securing n new book from the public
library. The classics and tho older
novels wero nlwnys on hand. Tho" latest
fiction was usually "out."
Miss Ahern Btudled the matter care
fully and then decided to Invost her en
tiro capital In boCjks, -secure a desirable
location for them and rent them out at
two cents a day each
Tho first day she was In business. In
a corner of a smnll store, shn only
rented five books and for nearly two
months she fnlled to mako expenses.
Tho third month she cleared $1.75 above
the cost of doing business nnd, from
then on. tho demand grew until she was
forced to seek larger quarters. The
Ahem Library was moved to a larger
space In a big department store and an
assistant was hired. Three hundred
bookB on Saturday was a oommon oc
currence, while quite often the number
reached BOO.
That wiib ten years ago. Today Miss
Ahem owus threo large libraries In ns

capable women to run each of them,

the threo businesses and camping out
