BREWSTER Copyright by American Press Asso­ ciation, 191 J, ■ TbU month’s Butterick Patterns 10c and lSc—none higher. Wo are careful that -pur children lhall read books In which noble deeds are-rewarded and selfishness Is abomi­ nated, Then when they reach an age to understand something about the World they are about to enter we tell them that these stories are mere ro­ mance, with nothing practical In them, Such was the way I was brought up. When 1 was eighteen the transition came. My mother a few years before had taken for a-maid of alt work— that Is. small odds and ends such as a child could perform—a girl of four­ teen. ■ I understood that Ethel had been taken partly ror charity and part­ ly because, my mother found such a helper convenient. My mother gave us all to understand tliut her principal reason was charity, though she really needed a young girl for certain -duties. But 1 had not then r e a c h e d a g e where' I wag to be instructed that sett sacrifice was simply romance. , 1 did not treat Ethel as a servant, and 1 was not required to so treat her. But my parents did consider that there, was danger for ruy w-vTfiiy interest In this 'demure little girl. It was not tiU I went to college that 1 realized that this danger existed. The .morning T started I went to find Ethel to say goodby to'her, (.found her dusting the parlor. “Ethel;" I said gayly, “1 have come to say goodby.” , She went on dusting without paying any attention to me,, keeping her back toward me. Taking her by the arm, 1 turned her and discovered the cause of her keeping her face from me. There Were tears in her eyes, Whether It was d ie to my education or to a nat­ ural instinct,1 don’t know—I may, have beau largely Influenced by the ro­ mances of kings and princes marrying beggar maidens—but certain it is I kissed- the tears' away. Then, the car­ riage being ready for my departure, I loft? the little girl with & sweet taste on my lips and a tender emotion about the heart. * Whether my mother suspected tbslt Ethel missed me or that she consider­ ed me quite old enough to Understand- that love affairs between -kings and beggar maids was pure romance T don’t know? but, though 1 often spoke o f Ethel among others In my letters,- mother never referred, to the little glr( lu one of hew. Ingtend shq wrote me that now I was entering upon that stage o f life where a young man’s fancy turns to love 1 should be care­ ful In my attentions to young women, ‘ not becoming involved with any that It would, not be advantageous for me to marry. She had often when I was a child readme those king and beggar maid stories with .evident delight to herself, and I was not yet old enough to understand the change. But I was old enough to begin to think for my­ self, and I resolved that I would net -honorably toward any young woman With .whomI might become Involved,. But what a difference between the age of experience and the ago of ro­ mance! "And how singular that after experience comes romance remains! True, when older we simply daljy with It, sip it like delicious Wine, but do not get Intoxicated with It sufficiently to Injure ourselves. When 1 went home for my first va­ cation Ethel was not there, I asked my mother about her, andshe said that the girl had concluded to learn some method of making her living more to her taste than being a servant, and, j Upon the winding up of her father’s J estate, having received some meahs, she had entered a business college, I j knew that my mother had taken the ! girl from a family that had been well \ to do, and at a time when her father ■ had Just died insolvent. i 1. made no inquiries at home na to j what college Ethel was'attendlnp, bu t } learned it elsewhere. Then I went to j see her. She had grown and filled out j and Improved in every Way, She re- j eelved me without any reference to ’ the tender scene thnt had occurred tit the time of ,my departure for college. It Was evident from her manner that her, servant days were over and tb,.t she stood on the American basis (hat a woman in the hew fields open to her Is on a social par with the generality of men and women. Not that she ob­ truded this change upon roe; 1 simply was aware that it existed. 1 left her after a friendly meeting, having borne myself toward her as I would any oth­ er acquaintance with whom 1 had UVed tinder the shine roof, but 1 con­ cealed my feelings. 1 saw Ethel whenever I came from college for vacation, but said nothing at home about my calls. When 1 re­ turned after being graduated 1 found staying in the house a young woman whom my mother had persuaded to visit her, doubtless hoping to make a match, between her and me, At any mte,’ the girl Was worth $800Oddin her own right, What n change from the king and beggar maid stories mother had fead me! Boor mother! She was doomed to disappointment i did not want a for* tune ready made for mo' at the begin­ ning of my life and In the,keeping of another. What I d!d want was my servant nmlfl, Mother was terribly shocked when 1 Informed her that l Was to mntry Ethhl, but She accepted the situation. “It’s all your-fault, mother," t said. "Yon should not have read to me those king-beggar maid stories. mm t r y f J A M 0 S f WHITCOMB ► R I L E Y iTTliE Mandy and.her IS poorest folk* you ever saw! Lived in pcorest hou** In (own.
