Everett Graham, aNew York bro ker. and a widower of 41 meets and marries sandra Courtney. a sirl liv ing in a togn where he _had a branch office. Sandra was 18. with all a girl’a desires and dreams.

Sandra's 'father was pleased that

she was to make so good a match. but her mother felt anxious, worried for fear, the disparity in ages would not work for Sandra); happiness. '

Sandra'a friends plauged her un-

mercifully calling Graham "Grand- pa," .and telling her she would have to playnurse to him when he was all doubled up with age and rheuma- tlsm’ Rose Grandon, Sandra’s most intimate friend was particularly dis- gusted because Sandra thought of marrying a man as old as her father. But he was rich, generous, and his very dignity that frightened Rose, added to his attractiveness in San- dra's eyes.

Sa.ndra's brothers also made hex

courtship srather trying one until Graham won them over by gifts. Ona of them, Toodles; said, when Sandra told of her marriage: “So you aregoing to play second fiddle,” expressing what her young friends all felt, and what she herself hated to think of. She says in telling her story: "I have a notion that a young untried _girl is a good deal like a book with its leaves still uncut. A man takes har withathrill of pos- session; but just what is in her he does not know. It may be she will be interesting. and -- able to ‘hold HIS interest once it is aroused. Or it may be that eavh page as rt is perused grows harder to read, his thoughts -wander, and will not con- centrate because of lack of action, oz hccnusc of :I sanyeress in the story which -bores lim. Women, vefy young women especially are so :mx- ious to ‘be everything all at once thai they leave no page unturned, nath- ing fresh _ and new to stir a man‘s jaded appetite!

Sandra goes to hernew home with

all the enthusiasms of girlhood, only to almost immediately become jeal- ous of the wife who was number one. while she was number two. Gra- hsmfs friends never tired of telling her how lovely his first wife was, and she also had to constantly gaze upon her picture hung in a promi- nent place in the home. He also bought her sapphires, and sapphire colored gowns which she adored un- til she was told he did the same .for his first wife, whom everyone said the resembled. ' .

Graham, o. cold undemonstratlve

man was unfitted to marry the girl who longed constantly for the ex- pression of love. We wanted Sandra to be dignified, he hated tears, and Sandra was inclined to weep when unhappy. Irma Barton, an old friend of Graham's is introduced. Sandra has many sad hours over what she thinks is it love affair between Irma and Graham. Also Sandra meets Halliday. a friend of Graham’s, a man about town. Through this ac- acquaintance she also finds herself in unpleasant situations.

Instead :il the home she has pic-

tured. all rose and bright colors she _has the old home and the furnish- ings used by the first wife. While everything was good, solid and sub- stantial, it was not dainty, not "girly.”

Graham affects clubs, etc. While

he is out Sandra finds pictures, let- ters. etc., from Leola. his first wife. All these to her mean that he still loves the other woman more than he does her, a nd she agonizes ac- cordinglyl For she has learned to lovehlm in spite of his careless treatment of her. _______ __

As time rolls on her troubles be-

come more poignantiy real. Sho auf- fers, und endures until she is driven almost to desperation because of his lack of understanding her nature; his absorption in self. and his own affairs. In thc end however Sandra finds that even being wife number

two has its compensutions. that she

possesses 1 love that is deeper, stron- ger than that he had given the first wife of whom she is no longer jeal- lous.

They dirln‘t know I was where I

could hear them talking. _ It once more made me _think of Everett in the light ofa husband.

I wanted to be happy too! But

wouldn't it be nice to be married to a man who was rich and generous. and so good-looking? _ He would bc

so kind to his wife she couldn’t help-

but be happy., Of course she wouldn't be crazy in love with him like the young people were in books I had read, or like Rose seemed to think was necessary. But one would be ter- ribly proud of him, and love him enough

Everett was dignified. More so

than dad who was always joking and teasing either me or the boys. But even his dignity added to his attractions in my eyes - then. I set him apart, made him different.

"Give me one of the boys every

time." Rose declared when we talked of him. "Honest Sandra Idon't believe he'd let his wife peep lf he didn’t feel in the mood. I am sure she Wouldn't be allowed to say her sou] was her own."

“You are jealous. tha/t’s the reason

you say such things," I replied In my most superior manner.

It was in May thatl first mct

It seemed to me that tue whole world was-throbbing with lifc, was more keenly alive than ever it had been before. _

Iwas just a girl that wonderful

Maytime, with just a girl‘s visions, hor ideas, and ideals. The books I had rcud were mostly light novels. and nomanccs which exaggerated those ideas without doing mc any particular good or harm. Yet in at wayl realized that they helped nie to overcome the difference in our ages. Many ofthe heroines of the novels I had read had married men much older than they, and had been happy ever aftcr-according to -the narrator.

I had always liked my name: Sun-

dra. Roso said it sounded as lf- I was a writer and had taken .it 'as my nom de plume. Rose often said such queer things, although she was a perfect dear. But after she said that I liked my name better than evcr-- Sandra Courtney. When I said it aloud, I was pleased with the sound and glad I hadn‘t been named Mary

Everett seemed to like them, and

WITH A LETTER

ing after Everett left. I felt almost as if I were all alone, although ul] the town boys and girls were around as usual. But someway Everett had a way of making you know he was there. I rlun‘t know how else to ex- press it. But Rose and some of the others made no secret of their joy that hc had gone.

“So 'granpa’ has dually taken

himself out of the way, has hc?" Rose asked. “Now perhaps we can have some fun.”

I never said much when they teas-

ed me, and called Everett "Grand- pa," but it mndc me uncomfortable, and I alwaygilushed terribly. ' When Everet't's first letter camo, uhout thrce days nftcr he icft, »l was so pleased that I didn’t mind their toas- ing me one single bit.

He had said nothing about writing

to me, so I was awfully surprised. lt was just a short letter, such a one as any friend might have written mc. There wnsn't a word about car- ing for mc in it. But just at the last he said:

“l have _misss-d my little friend

more than I ever thought if possible to miss anyone." It was silly. but I kissed the paper right on those lines. Thcn I chaired it In thc bosom of my dress for 'days-just like the girls in the novcls did. But finally l put it away in 'the bureau drawer under my shlrtwalsts. The boys never disturbed them, and the ict- ter was getting \vorn out.

It took me one whole afternoon to

answer that letter. I must have wasted nearly u box of paper before it suited mc. Then it didn’t-not perfectly.

I wrote about everyday things, the

people he knew, etc., just' as ho did. untfi»-l- came to the very end of my letter. Then I told him flint I had missed him too. more than I cv:-r had missed anyone before. I wasn't very original, but I had spoiled so many sheets of paper l didn’t ilarc use any more. As it was I had to burn up nil the spoiled sheets ami the envelopes to match for fear the boys would find them. it would have been terrible if they had. I ncvor should have heard the las; uf it.

If IS Blrdllse how things long past

come back to us. I recall ~distinctly that ‘whenever Everett came to call in that fir-'st short week I knew him. that Iwas always a bit frightened to go down to meet him,-he always asked for me-for fear I did not look nice enough, Even theni had heard him express an opinion upon the way some of the girls in our town were dressed at the tennis par- ty. and ii made me uncomfortable.

‘now I know there could not have been anything Vf‘I’y wrong about my ginghams for morning and dainty muslins for nfternoon. Anyway Ever- ett said 1 looked lovely in them; ` and that mother was sensible to keep me looking so young.

I attached a sentimental value. to

the few lines lic had written, that I ncvcr should luivcdreamcd of put- ting upon thc notes I had received occasionally from the town boys. This charming man from` a great city where there were so many love- ly girls had singled mc, Sandra Courtney, out l`or his special atten- tions.

Then came the morning when I

received Everett's second letter. I had walked down with father, and went with him to the Post Office. I read it as I' walked -slowly home un- der the blossoming trees, the sent of early flowers in the air. He sort Of HD0l0f§ized for not replying soon- er. asked me to forgive him, and said he would be more prompt in tho future if I would. He also said hc would be in Lnckvilie again before fall, and signed himself: “Your fond friend. Everett Graham.

EVERETT PROPOSES (`IIAPTER V.

I was delighted at the way Everett

had ended his second letter. “Your fond friend.‘ what could be nicer? it was different, too. Most letters I ever had either received or seen had been closed with “Yours sincerely," or “Very truly” or some such stereo- typed phrase. I showed the few words at the close to Rose Grandon because she was my chum. I was sorry that I did. She said sho thought it silly for amun as old as Everett to writc to mc at all. I was angry with her for the first time since we were tiny girls. I wouldn't speak to her for two days.

I wonder if any who read my story

will be interested in all these littic insignificant things I am telling so thatwhat, comes after may be pluinnr to them? I envy thc real story writer who understands the tech- nique of telling at story so that it will interest the public; yet perhaps a true story like mine may help some other girl to avoid my mistakes, and so be saved the sorrow that came to me because of them.

I always felt cross \vhcn Rose

called Evercit "old_" llcally after u little I had nnt_ thought of him ns old at all. Just as ilnc, and so won- derfully wlsc. That fueling I now _know was cnuscd more by his charm of manncr when hc excrteri himself

to please than by anything hc said. I

Of course l couldn’t act with him

as I did with thc town boys. I shouldn't have dared. No girl of eighteen would hnvc taken any libcrl ties with a man as dignillodus was Everett Graham. Yct after all his dignity was If source of pride to mc.
