There's no doubt about It In y own mind, and bb for Danny, the ear chap's been silly about me for Rgcx. But, oh, dear, mere s always a but Danny Is the only one of all the men who call on me that never takes me anywhere. He never brings me ny candy, books or flowers, and be never pays me any compliments. I don't believe Dnnny knows one of my gowns from another, and I'm sure he Isn't thinking of asking me to marry hlin. Yet I know he loves me. Why do you ank, dear IH'ry? Well, Just because. I know he doea. Oh, If this were only leap year. Tuesday Billy Farrlngton Just left It's nenrly 11 o'clock and I sup po'Jo I ought to be In bed, but I must put down what he said first Dear Dl'ry, Billy proposed, end what's more. afraid he misinterpreted my an swer. He's coming Miuuraay aner noon at 2 o'clock and expects a "yes." Billy's dreadfully rich and It's such temptation. But I'm afraid the only thing that would make me love him would be for him to make over enough money to Danny to enable that young man to propose to me. But suppose after that Danny didn't propose? Oh, thnt would be terrible. In his present clrcumatnnces Danny couldn't keep me In the manner I am accustomed to, nd It Is very doubtful If he could keep me In the manner mother was ecustomed to at my age. and good- nens knows, the way Dnnny likes to tell It, 20 years ago found them eating meat Just once a week. Fancy, Billy snld to me but on second thoughts I won't put It down. It makes me feol too bad to think Danny hasn't said It Wednesday Such excitement Denr Dl'ry, the most wonderful of thlnps baa happened and I forgot Danny for wo whole hours this afternoon. Count MarclMnl called and aaked me to be his countess. Wouldn't it he fine to queen It over the girls? And he's not bad sort, either. I rather like his dark atyle and I really believe he carea a great deal for me. But Daddy la much against It I told him tbe count waa a real one, not Imitation, but be only grunted. "Sure, he's a real one; I'd rather he wasn't, at that" 1 wonder what he meant I waa a nervous that I can't remem ber Juat what I aald, but this much la clear the count la coming again Saturday -at S. What, oh, what, ahall I aay to him? Thursday Danny was here to-night again. He bad some news. It seems that a rich old uncle has left a lot of money and proporty to some girl and Danny la made executor of the estate. He Is to be well paid for bis services, but I'm scared to death he will fall In love with the girl. The wretch; her, I mean. I do hope she's ugly. I was Immensely Interested. Danny seemed ao glad to be able to earn a lot of money and I was happy with blm. But Juat In the midst of It all who should come In but Ted Manly. Dan ny, of course, the dear old stupid, left first Ted wants me to go motoring with blm Saturday and says be has something very Important to tell me. I like him pretty Well and If It weren't for but I won't speculate. He'e com ing at 4 o'clock. Friday The fourth proposal, dear Dl'ry. Now what do you tnink of that? At leaat, If lt'a not a proposal, It will be one, I'm sure. Just got back from the theatre. Mamma chaperoned a party of five of us girls; we had a box. Jack Barry was In the cast and he mado ua feel very proud by a very cordial recognition from the stage and later on by dropping In to pay his re spects. The girls were all delighted with blm. He could only stay a few minutes but when he left he shook band with us, all, me last, and I felt him press something Into my hand. It waa a note. It reads: "My very dear Bernlce: Please be at home to me to morrow after the matinee. I have something very Important to tell you. Devotedly. Jack." They all eeein to talk alike when they get around to proposing. Well, I hope he doesn't meet any of the other men, he's - so awfully jealous. I wonder what Dan ny Is doing. Hope be a safely in bed and not galllvating around with hla ward. 1 hate her. Saturday, One O'clock Wonderful, oh, most wonderful. Here I am on the limited for New York. Mamma la with me and Danny and Daddy are In tbe smoking compartment Tbe dear boy called quite early this morning, Told me at last that be loved me, aak ed me to marry him and then explain ed his business. I'm afraid I accept- ted him first, and asked about hrs af fairs afterward. It seems his ward Is only three years old. Mamma and Daddy always liked Danny and knew I nrnntori him an they said if I waa satisfied theyf had no objection. To escape the rest of the men Mamma thought It best that I leave town for a while and aa Daddy had to go to New York on business and Danny Lis a week before buckling down to woik. here we are all together. I Just bad time to scribble four notes and leave them with my maid. I forgot to ad dress the envelopes but they all read alike so It makes no difference. Hera come tbe men. Good-bye, dear Dl'ry.
