The latest "best sellers" are a temptation to her; she cannot resist them even if it means going without her lunch. Going back and forth each day on the same car is Robert Davanel, a professor of mathematics. Though supposed to be very staid, he, too, dwells in a world of romance. One day he is greatly surprised to find as a bookmark in one of the new novels he is reading a lady's perfumed handkerchief. Rosealice is as much surprised to find a little note saying that if ever the writer could find a person like the Rose depicted in the story, he certainly would fall in love with her. Robert had invested in some mining stock, but for a long time it appeared worthless. He receives word from Harden that the stock has some value. Rosealice in transcribing the letter thinks the name of Davanal very romantic. The next day she is ill and unable to go to work. Robert calls upon Harden and the latter suggests that they take a ride out to his stenographer's home. So he discovers the girl he has been so long admiring. Written by
