I HAVE AN ODD TALK WITH TOM
«v ,u didn’t really think 1 was go

VEtte was very kind, half playful.
. The door, was once more closed and
viK were alone in his private office.
“I’ve been trying so hard to get

the surface.

t?P*give yhu time to really know,
Hlflva. And if it wasn’t for that I’d
)d» you now—you look ' sweet
enough, but you must be sure now.”
And without giving me time to say
that I was sure, Tom was rushing
into plans for helping Mrs. Ames.
“I think he is safe somewhere —-he
hasn’t done anything desperate. 1
k®ow. because he isn’t the sort who
would. He may have just decided
that he was tired of the game and
that it wouldn’t be worth a fight, so
fir'just eliminated himself in his
Brother's favor.”

aid, “because John Ames thought it
was worth fighting for—he i more
fwrl of Lila Ames than anyone
WOSild suspect. If he had not been
Mfcfond of her and so foolishly eager
tn grant her desires—there never
would have been the related tri
stfgle.”
j.WPhil Ames is a man I never could
get!” Tom was running his fingers
through his hair. ‘.John has been
practically a father to him from the
very begirtrthrg, put him through col.

hssdate at going into his brother’s
home and wrecking it.”

Price or Value
Price is the question of a moment—
Value, a proof of worth.
1 People who buy solely by the figures
on the price tag often pay dearly for
the service rendered. People who con
sider value frequently find it cheaper
in the end pay slightly higher prices
for a far greater amount of service
received. Our prices are low when
quality is considered.

Tom laughed gently and then add
ed; ‘1 wouldn’t do it Helga!"
I wondered if he would ever get
to our own affairs.
“Now I’m going to send you along-
Helga." Tom said, “and you must be
ready to do your utmost to comfort
that woman who may awaken any
minute to what she has lost."
“She has awakened,” I said soft-
ly. c
Tom looked at me a minute. *
“Fine,” was all he said, but in his I u
tone was something I failed to catch 0
the meaning of. J 1
“Trot along now—and later, if you F
think we may, we’ll talk of our- "
selves. Tell Mrs. Ames I’ll let you h
know from time to time what 1 find

Tom’s outer office was deserted. I’
Mrs. Ames and Grace I found wait- w
ing for me in the car at the curbing. a:
The trip home was an awkward '
thing. Grace smiled reministcently *•'
every now and then. Mrs. Ames was j l '
silent: her face began to show linos '
of care, and I was uncertain whether
I should he angry at Tom or grateful ( j

You thought all of the hard things

1 not think was that you went into ■'*

; and that your own disposition was 1

And you hadn’t watched the pro-

You didn’t understand that on such v

be always at hand and sent a ques

You didn’t know that after about

By Sister Mary
is a vegetable deserv- 1
ing greater popularity than it 1
enjoys just now. Its delicacy of flav- v
or and the many ways of cooking it
aside from its richness in vitamines t
make it a valuable vegetable for sum- s
mer use. I
I Kohl-rabi is sometimes known as

delicate than either turnip or cab- n
bage and the pungent odor of the
coarser vegetables is lacking. Choose 1
young roots. '

, dried bread crumbs, dip in eggs '
i slightly beaten with 1 tablespoon wa- 0

Letters to Lovers
By Winona Wilcox
OROKEN engagements, like di
voices, have increased since the
war.
“I was engaged five years. Seems
absurd, I suppose, to a person of
sense. It’s absurd to me, now I’ve
broken with the man. Many tinie§
I asked him why we couldn’t marry.
The only answer I ever had was
‘Because!’ Then followed extrava
gant demonstrations of his devotion. I
“1 wish you would write some
thing good and strong about men
who are too selfish to marry. I’m
convinced it would do some of them
a world of good.—Foolish Virgin!”
I am convinced that no procras
tinating suitor would be influenced,
one bit by the printed word.
Character is not made in a day
and it cannot be niade over by a
single sermon. But it may be read
in a day, and it does seem that the
girl who stays engaged for five years
ought to ake a little time off in
which to look for flaws in the man
of her trust.
“What kind of a man is this who
swears that he loves me but is
never ready for our wedding?” is
surely a reasonable question.
Most unfortunately (from a sym- j
pathetic view point), I have a large
assortment of letters from girls who
have dragged through long engage- i
ments to a disastrous conclusion. 1
One girl thus confesses her hurt:

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1021
“My engagement was broken affe,
four happy years and I am mi it
] able. 1 have wasted the best year
; of my life, j worried for month
before ending the affair, and 1 ha\
lost flesh, and my good looks, ;,m
energy and ambition. 1 have bw
humiliated before my friends, ami
have wasted hundreds of dollars on
trousseau 1 shall never need.
“I know I am doomed to be an oli
maid. The man was utterly sei
fish—” And he was, judging from tin
remainder of her long letter.
“Selfishness greed for gettini
all and giving nothing back is tin
secret of most of this distress.
There’s only one bit of comfor
; for these too-trusting girls: Mos
of them end in exactly the sann
situation which would have engulfe
them, had they married. They ar
alone, as old maids instead of a
divorcees. The men merely tired ..
them before the wedding instead o
afterward, and for this they are ti
be congratulated.
Their letters make valuable read
ing for uncritical women who neec
to learn that love alone cannot pro
I duce permanent happiness,
j The important querry is:
“What kind of a man is doing Hu
loving?”
The only advantage of a long en
1 gagement is the chance it gives <
girl to find out that.
