NOTECASE ROMANCE
A LOVE STORY OF TO-DAY.
QUITE NEW AND QUITE TRUE.
Once upon a time there was a young man who was very lonely. He laboured fitfully at his job. One day he perceived in an evening paper a poem on Love which in its freshness, truth and simplicity most powerfully appealed to him. It was signed. He cut it out and put it in his notecase. He felt strangely happier with this newspaper cutting near his heart. His long winter passed into spring, but he lost his notecase one day by carelessly leaving it in a London post office. With it the verses went, and he felt forlorn. But in a few days a letter reached him signed by the name of the verse writer! She said (for the writer was a woman): "I picked up your case quite by chance, looked through it, found your name and address inside, decided to like you for your carefulness, and then discovered a copy of my own verses! How wonderful of you to like them so much as to carry them about!”
The affair is now progressing. . The young man has looked into a pair of youthful starry eyes. Romance is not dead, as one would imagine from some of the modem novels, for this story happens to be true.
