WEEKLY-NORWALK .1 2101.11)” TRAGEDY All my life I have been—well, not ex- actly a woman-hater, but a firm be- liever in the idea that man is the lord of creation, and that woman is not an absolute necessity. For many years it was my proud boast that I was able to dispense with feminine aid and yet live a very enjoyable life, as, with ,clockwork regularity, I went from my bachelor lodgings to business each returning in the afternoon, and spending the evening at the club 01' some place of amusement. The idea of having a lady companion in my ram- bles never entered my head. True, my landlady—good old soul— prepared my meals and cleansed my rooms. but that was because I had not time to do it myself, and a man-serv- ant was beyond my means. But in all else I dispensed with woman’s aid. Boot-cleaning, sewing buttons on, lighting the fire, were all done with my own hands—nay, at .a pinch I have even washed a pocket handkerchief. I desired to stand forth as a. living ex- ample of the original Adam and a proof of the superfiuity of the modern Eve. But my misguided companions refused to profit by my teachings or to follow my example One by one_ they fell under female influence, one by one they married, and then—I cut them dead. Ah, me! Those free Bohemian days were happy ones, as year after year I pursued my adopted course. in spite of the continual falling off of my com— rades. Then came a time when my cir- cle of aquaintances had decreased so con- siderably that Ibegan to feel lonely. Bachelor chums were more difficult to find than ever To loneliness succeeded melancholy, and I grew miserable and pessimistic. One friend, to whom I laid bare my woes, said: “You keep to yourself too much. \Vhat you ought to do is to lodge with some family where there are tw0 or three grown-up daughters. They would 1'. ake you up a bit.” This to me, the hitherto ideal advocate of an Eveless Eden! And yet, after the advice had been tendered several times, I began to think that such a change might be beneficial. Such a course need not involve the 1'1e1deiing 11') of my ten- ets; but as women still forme lpart of the world she might at lea s: contribute to my amusement. So; after very seri- ous consideration. Idecided to seek fresh apartments, with light society thrown in. Now my troubles commenced. I could not make the direct inquiry, "Have you any grown-up daughter's?" So I gener- ally viewed the rooms, listening to the landlady’s verbiage, settled the rent and then casually asked: "Have you any children?” and the reply would be, “ ‘Yes,’ ‘four,’ ‘five,’or 'six’ (as the case might be), ‘the eldest is ten years old and the youngest two months; but they are as good as gold, and never make a bit of noise.’ "’ The numberless journeys I made and the many desultory conversations I list- ened to were all to no purpose. No one appeared to possess grown-up daughters. The eldest was always 10. Just when I was about to abandon my search fort- une—or was it fate?—led me to Myrtle Villa, Paradise Gardens. Upper Dul- 1. ich The door was opened by a vision of loveliness, fault lessly dressed, and with bright blue ey es and gollen hair. "Newly married,” thought I; "well, here at least the oldest won’t be 10.” She invited me in and then disappeared; a middle-aged lady entering directly af- ter, we proceeded to discuss terms. '1 hen came the inevitable inquiry asto cnildren. “I have two grownsup daughters, the youngest of whom opened the door to you.” At last! Need I say that within a rtle Villa? 'lhe landlady (a. widow) was a genial, homely woman and the ycumg estdaugh— ter, Annie, aged 25, I have aheady de- scribed; but the other daughter, Julia, did not impress me favorably. She was neither good looking 1101' pleasing. and without being exactly bad tempered, al- ways insisted upon having her own way. I now seemed to be in a new world. My boots bore a brilliant lustre each morning, without my aid. and my slip- pers Were laid ready for me in the ev- ening, and 21s for lending me a needle and cotton—the ideal—if I would only leave them outside they would only be too happy. I no longer needed to seek relaxation at the club after the labors of the day, J ulia played the piano well (her only accomplishment), while Annie sang di- vinely, and thus the evenings passed all too quickly. Zirlale acquaintances they d1d not seer: o possess—but stay— there was on .1. Mr. Malcolm, whose name I frequently heard mentioned, but as his calls were always made in the daytime I nev er saw him. I had rapid- lv passed into that condition of mind which raised a feeling of jealousy on his account, so one day I questioned my landlady on the subject. . “Oh, he’s a very old friend of ours. Once we thought he would have proposed to Julia, but nothing came of it..” What a relief! Only Julia! So time went pleasantly on, and then —how can I confess it?—my lifelong creed was thrown to the winds, my proud ambition humbled in the dust, and I became a willing slave to the sex I had so long despised and ignored. My only thought now was how and in what words I should beseech my darling An- nie to become my wife. Time after time I was on the point of speaking, but Julia all rs turned up at the critical moment One evening 7:1? that a. week thence she had .111 «at to pay at a conce1t.”" . on me a brilliant inspirut'? - ~.

In 2:11.111...:-.'-;‘ time I would be taking my .. .taerholiillly'. which would fit in just nicely for the honeymoon. On tlte eventful day I hastened home- ward with a queer fluttering in my heart and a flower-spray for Annie in my hat. Julia opened the door, and hardly permitted me to enter before she in- formed me that Annie had been out in the hot sun and had been obliged to go to bed with a very bad sick headache. My fluttering heart gave one huge bound and then seemed to stand still. How- ever, to disguise my feelings, I said: “I am sorry; and you have to play at the concert?” “No ” she replied, “the concert has been postponed.” “Then may I beg the pleasure of your company: I did not ask you before be- cause of the concert engagement.” "Thanks. I shall enjoy that im- mensely.” What amiserable failure that evening proved to be. I do not even know what the play was called. I was thinking all the time of my poor, sick darling, and not of the acting or the woman who sat by my side wearing the flower spray that was meant for Annie. The w01dswe1e still 1111: pol-ten when my holidays ariived, and tearing my self away from the two sister 5. who stood at the gate and waived their handkerchiefs as long as I remained in sight, it was with no feeling of joyful anticipation that I betook myself to Hastings for rest and recreation. Rest! Where could I find it? Not on the parade 01' pier, amid hundreds of couples promenading, as I had pictured Annie and myself doing; not on the beach, where the Ethiopian musicians were eternally playing “Annie Laurie" and “Annie Rooney.” For a whole week I wandered aimless- ly hither and thither. Then I could stand it no longer. So I wrote a long letter commencing “Darling,” and pouring out- the impassioned, pent up love that comes but once in a man’s life- time. I besought and beseeched her to take pity on m'e. or my lifeless body should surge in the billows that beat re- lentlessly on the rocks of old Beachy Head. When I had finished I happened to catch sight of a. photograph which I had purchased the previous dav,1ep1esent- ing one of the ya aChtS pr sparing to start on her morning trip, with my own figure in a prominent position in the bows. ‘ “Ah!” Julia.” If it were possible I had now less rest than before, night or day. while waiting for the answer. Rising in the morning with haggard looks and burning brow, the other boarders would remark that the sea air did not seem to agree with me, while under the mask of assumed indifference there raged within me the fiercest volcano that ever burned in the heart of man. At last the reply came, and, bounding up to the privacy of my own room, with trembling fingers I tore open the enve- lope which hid from me—life or death? “Dearest, I am yours for ever. I can- not say your proposal was unexpected, for I have felt that you could mean nothing less. ever since that evening when you so openly expressed your preference by taking me to the theater thought I, “I‘ll send that to What! whewll where!!! I looked at the signature——“Julia.” Oh, heavens! I saw it all. I had placed them in the wrong envelopes, and sent the letter to Julia, and the photograph to Annie! How I raged and fumed and tore my hair, until, at last, in sheer exhaustion, I sank into a chair and endeavored to finish reading the letter. “Annie thanks you very much for the photo, and desires me to tell you that yesterday, Mr. Malcomn proposed to her and was accepted. We will have the two weddings on the same day. Won’t that be nice, dear?" Nice? This was the last straw. Nice, indeed, for me to be married to a wom- anI did not care for, and at the same time to see the one I loved given to an— other man. I cannot remember what I did for the next hour or two beyond cursing my foolishness and swearing I wouldn’t marry Julia. Then, when I became calmer, I saw an action for breach of promise looming. I thought of all my hard earned savings of years being swept away by a sympathetic jury to heal J ulia‘s broken heart. There was no escape for me. She had my letter which simply com- menced “Dealing,” and as no name was mentioned in it from beginning to end was it possible that any body of intelli- gent men could be brought to believe I intended it for Annie when I addressed the envelope to Julia? No, no. I must go through with it-- I would marry Julia. Yes, and I would teach her that man is the lord of crea- tion. and that woman is but a helpmate and not an equal, and so, in my married life, triumphantly assert those princi- ples which I had held so long. * . ~1(- s;- at _ -.\'- 91- Julia. married me at the same time and place that Annie married Mr. Malcomn.
