STANLEY HORVITZ, Main St. netrist 327 of the important task which had been delegated to me, that of calming by my presence the delirious imaginings of the wounded man be- fore me. I looked down quickly into his face, moment although my eves were somewhat blurred by the rush of tears which had come to them at my thoughts of my husband, and which T had in some fashion kept m shedding. The wounded officer’s eves were open, and he was looking intently at me. wild lght—of which the nurse had told me—had gone out of them. In its stead thy was a look of unutter- able relief, but even as my eyes cleared and I saw him clearly, a shadow crept into his. “You—are—real?” he said slowly, doubtfuily. *“You—are—alive?” “Very much alive,”” I answered cheerily, for instinct told me this was the best way to reassure him. As I spoke I took my hand from his fore- head. He frowned as I did so, and looked like an unhappy child. “Don’t—take—it—away,” painfully. “I—like it.” “I'll Not Go Away.” Reluctantly I resumed the smooth- ing of his hair back from his fore- head, the service which the nurse had requested of me while he was deliri- ous. I was furious at myself because I couldn’t control the flush which overspread my face at his request. He did not see my embarrassment, however, for he had closed his ej as he spoke, and for a little while lay quiet, so quiet, indeed, that I was be- ginning to be alarmed. But just as T was about to appeal to the nurse, who alsa was watching him, he opened his eyes again. Why did vour eves have tears in them just now?” he asked, and this time his words came less painfully, closer together. ‘“‘Are vou hurt badly, after all? I've been afraid they were lving to me.” His voice rose in excitement. I saw that the only way to quiet him was | the method one would use with a frightened child. I bent a little closer to him. “Look at me,” I said, just a hint of | sharpness in my tone, “and listen | | carefully while I tell you the absolute {truth. I am not hurt. I am very well, and You must have been m taken about the tears in my eyes. You | don’t see any there now, do you?”’ 1 smiled at him as I asked the last question, and a slow, weak grin curved the corners of his mouth. i “Nary a one,” he returned with a | pitiful attempt at lightness, and then the nurse intervened. “Take this now, please,”” she said, “and then close your eyes and try to go to sleep.” She held a formidable looking dose he said of medicine out to him. He looked up at her rebelliousl “I dan’t want to go to sleep.” “I know,” soothingly. it you must,” the note of authority predom- inant. ‘Will ghe stay right here and not { let go my hand?"” The nurse looked at me, a calm, professional glance; vet I could not but imagine that her eyelashes veiled a quizzical look. T felt myself flush- ing again, but knew there was only | one answer for me to give. I looked ; down into the pleading eyes of the wounded man. T'1l not go away. 1 promise vou hank you. All right, nurse.” Obediently he swallowed the dose she gave him, smiled up at me with a_ touch of whimsicality, and closed | his eves like a tired child. For sev- | eral torturing minutes his fingers and eves twitched nervously, and his head jerked occasionally from side to side as if he were in pain. But gradually he became quieter, and before long was drawing deep, Tegular, restful breaths, and sleeping as naturally as if he were just an ordinarily fatigucd man. “But I Promised.” “I think you can slip away now,” the nurse murmured in my ear. *“He will never notice your going. 1 folt vaguely, foolishly resentful of the afr of complete authority which enveloped her. It was as if she had sald: “You have done well, child, but we don’t need vou any longer.” T didn’t stop to analyze the impuls “But I promised him I wouldn't leave him while he slept, and I must keep my word.” Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast Stewed Prunes Cereal and Milk Griddle Cakes Coffee Dinner Cream of Spinach Soup Hamburg Steak Tomato Sauce String Beans Baked Potatoes Cold Slaw | Rhubarb Ple Coffee Supper Ham and Egg Salad Cocoanut Drops Fruit Tea Ham and Egg Salad—Broil a thin slice of ham; while hot cut it in half inch dice and marinate with French dressing.

CAN REMAIN YOUNG IF YOU KNOW HOW Women who are approaching the meridian of life and dread the thoughts of gray hair and - wrinkles will be interested in A Mother's Secret,” at Keeney’s theater, because the photoplay to a large degree gives the solution of overcoming the buga- boo. It is a regular lecture to wom- en on “the way to keep youthful” and the advice is built around the character of a woman who visualizes the part of the mothcr of Ella Hall, the star of the production. So successful does the middle-aged woman keep away the gray hair and the wrinkles that she is taken for the sister of her seventeen-year-old daughter, and the daughter is forced to wear abbreviated costumes to ac- centuate the difference between youth and age. Women all over the coun- try have flocked to see the picture to obtain the secret of remaining young.

It would eat up the money too fast if he didn’t.” Ninc Pecople Out of Ten Would Have Stopped. She needn't have given that second explanation. The fact that he did not know till the last minute that he was coming on that train would have sufficed as an explanation. And nine people out of ten would lthve stopped there. And because she was the tenth, brave enough and honest enough to 20 on and say the equivalent of those dreadful words. “We can’t afford it I felt a thrill of respect go through me something like that thrill onc fecls when one reads of coura- geous deeds.

TALKS course, but it took moral courage, the sort of courage that makes a man brave enough to march in a suffrage parade or to knit for the soldiers, or & woman brave enough to ‘wear a last year's hat to have more to give to the Red Cross. f T'll wager there are millions &t people who have to plan and con- trive every day of their lives, and yet who have never frankly said of anything they were doing without, “I can't afford it.” The Reasons They Give. Instead they assign one reason or another. They go without a maid because they can't bear to have. a maid handling their nice thingg, they stay in the city instead of go- ing to the country this year because, after all, one i{s more comfortable in c¢ne’s own home in the hot weather, they don‘t get a new hat because the styles are so hideous this year, etc., ete. And the irony of it is that no one is cdeceived by this ostrichian pro- ceeding. Why is it that lack of not having the money to do anything should, make, us ashamed? There is noth- ing disgraceful in not having money. On the contrary it is sometimes a budge of honor. FADS AND FASHIONS A polka-dotted foulard with over dress of blue chiffon makes a dre of dreamy charm. A black evening gown may have white embroidered lingerie and Wh‘w net combined in it. Plaid and fancy velour are fashionable for sports coats. very Loose hanging back panels are in evidence on black satin frocks. White tulle made over a black sat- in underlining is attractive. ' Jersey silk is used In making some very smart daytime frocks. A suit is absolutely nothing with- out its Mttle shirt frill showing. If your parasol has a checked bor- g der, tle a ribbon to match around the crown of your hat. Sports skirts are pleated or cut perfectly plain, but they are almost ertain to have pockets. There are some very full and fluffy summer dresses In spite of the fash.® fonable straight lines. Peplum blouses are much liked and so are Cossack and other styles that are worn outside the skirt. The cretonne knitting bag is not so much in favor, smart women carry their knitting in large leather hand- bags. A gray silk frock is made attractive with a girdle of green. Low heels for women’s shoes are more and more in demand.
