I'm thirteen years old, and I'm a (
cross-current and a contradiction. That
is, Sarah say*. I'm that. (Sarah is my
old nurse.) She says she read It once
—that the children of unlike* "were al.
ways a cross-current and a contradic-
tion. vAnd my father and mother are
unllkes, and I'm the children. That
Is, I'm the child. I'm all there is. And-
now I'm going to be a bigger cross-
current and contradiction tltati ever,
for I'm going to live half the tluie with
Mother and the other half with Father.
Mother will go to Host on to Qve, and
Father will stay here—a divorce, you
know. ''Li-,,**" iMJf; i
I'm terribly excited over E .None of
the other girls havt^ got/a divorce in
their families, and I always did like to
be different. Befclfles, it ought to be
awfully Interesting, more so than Just
living along, common, with your father
and mother in the same bbuse all the
time—especially If It's been anything
like ray house wKh my father and
Brother in it I
That's why I've decided to malte a
book of It—rhat is. -if really will lie a
k, only I shall have to call It a
on account of Father, you know. J
Won't it be funny when I don't have to
dp" things on account of Father.? And
won^t, of course, the six months Tm
living with Mother in Boston. But,
oh, my!—the six months I'm living
here with him—whew! But, then, I
can stand It. I may even like It—
some. Anyhow, it'll be different. And
thut's something.*
Well, about making this into a book.
As I started to Jay, he wouldn't let
m?. I know he wouldn't. He says
novels are a silly waste of.time, if not
absolutely wicked. But, a diary—oh.
he loves diaries. He keeps ione him-
self, and he told mo it would be an ex-
cellent and instructive discipline for
me t« do ft, too—set down the weather
ami what I did every day. %
The weather ahd what I did every
day, indeed! Lovely reading that
would make, wouldn't it? Like tills:
"The SUP shines this morning. , I
got up, ate my breakfast, w*ent to
school, came home, ate my dinner,
"played one hour overToXarrie Hey-'
wood's, practiced on the piano one
hour, studied another hour. Talked
with Mother upstairs In her room about
the sunset and the snow on the trees.
At*i my supper. Was talked to by
Father down In the library about Im-
proving myself and taking care not to
h£ ll$iMnlnded and frivolous. (He
meant like Mother, only he didn't say
it right out loud. You.don't have to
say some things right out in plain
words, you knrfw.) Then I went to bed."

down it, there aren't many girls that tered. "Weil. well, upon my soul!" |

write it into a book. Oh, ye§, I know arms. Then he threw np both hands,
tacked off. and crieC^Wi, no, no, no I*
He turned to Mother and hoped she
wqa feeling pretty well, theh Ite got
out of the room Just as quick as he
codld. And Nurse said that was the
end of It, so far as paying any more
attention to me was concerned for
quite a while. ■ -J
He was much more interested lp his
new star than he was in his new
daughter. - We were both born the
| same night, you see, and that star Was
j lots more, consequence than I was.
; But, theni, that's ^Father a'll over. And
that's on<et of the things, I think, that
bothers Mother. I heard her say on

when there were so many, many stars,
a paltry one or two more need to be

If I write the story part, I can't be ex-

how words are spelt, .apery five min-
utes, nor fusaing over putting In a
whole lot of foolish little dots and
dashes.

story cared for that parti The story's

I love stories. Fve written lots of
them for the girls, too—Utile short
ones, I mean; not a long one like this

b* so exciting to be living a story In-
stead of reading it—only when you're
living a story you can't peek over to

all the more excltlug, lifter all, not to
know what's coming.

And I think 1 shall love both Father
and Mother better separate, too. Of
course I love Mother, and I know Pd
just adore Father if he'd let me—he's
so tall and line* and'splendid, when
he's out among foH<s. All the girls are
simply crazy over him. And I am, too.
Only, at home—well, It's hard to be
Mary always. And you see, he named'
me Mary—
But 1 mustn't tell that here. That's
part of the story, and this is onl> the
Preface. I'm going to begin l%«fb-mor-
row—the real story—Chapter One.
But, there—I mustn't, call It a
"chapter" out loud. . Diaries don't
have chapter*, and this is a diary, ij
mustn't forget that it's a^diary, • But
crazy. Then somebody suggested
"Alary." And Father said, very well,
they might call me Mary; and Mother
£ald certainly, she would consent to
Mary, only she -should prouounce It
Marie. And to It was settled. Father
called me Mary, and Mother called
me Marie. And right away every-
body else began to call ttie Mary
Marie. And that's the wap It's been
ever since. *

occurred to me thnt none of the other
girls btjd t\\ii names, one' for their
father and, one for their mother to
call them by. * I begu to notice other
things then, too. Their fathers and
mothers didn't live *ln rooms at, op-
posite ends of the bouse. Their fathers
and mothers skeined to like each other,
. and to talk together, aud to have little
j Jokes ami laugha touet^er, and twinkle
with their eyes. That Is, most" of theni
did.

I like love stories the best. Father'f
got—oh, lots of books In the library,
iilid:- Fve read stacks of them, even
some of the stupid old histories and

there wasn't anything else to read.
But there weren't many lov.e stories.
Mother's got a few, though—lovely
ones—and some bboks of poetry, on
the little shelf In her room. But I
read all those ages ago.
