LIFE’S MACHINERY NEEDS AT) TIMES THE O\L OF FLATTERY | (Copyright, 1915, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association) This morning when I went to the hospital, I found dear Aunt Mary in splendid spirite and pemaithsan in a very comfortable condition. . | “They are not going to operate! until the last of the week,” she said. Dick went with me, and while we were with her we both tried to make her think we were perfectly happy again. | She would not let elther of us stay with her long. ‘ou know, | my dears,” when any| one is as {ll they grow very selfish and {ns mt on hav- ing thelr material wants fulfilled. I have my splendid nurse and she} will be fussing with me all the time that I am not asleep. So you two dear people will be tn the way. Make me a little call at least once | a day, but the remainder of the) time go about your dafly business with the feeling that I am doing as well I can under the circum- stances. While IT was there I asked about Eleanor Fairlow and found that she was not feeling well at all Had been off duty for nearly a week and in care of a nurse part of the time. When we left the hospital Dick sald to “Margie, why don't you send Eleanor some fruit and flowers?” “Tl do tt on my way back home,” I promised. “Her favort flowers are vio- he remarked and then closed bis lps tightly as tho he wished he had not volunteered that infor. mation. I hate myself when I am suspt- clous of Eleanor Fairlow and Dick, but you see, little book, I know they were engaged before Dick met me, and I feel that she at least has not forgotten. Is he beginning to remember? That remark he made last night about marriage being quite differ- ent from anything he expected) hurt me, altho to you, little book, I can tell the truth, and say it is also very different from anything I expected, I am _ heartbroken about that money. It will take me a long time to save up another thousand dollars, I still have about that much in the bank, but I cling to that old idea of mine that I must have some money to fall back on and so I have let Dick believe that the money I gave him was all I had. And, little book, the fact that he does not consider what I save as| mine makes me feel rather queer. He still thinks I and all I have long” to him, body and soul; | but I know that {deal lies shat-| tered tn pleces that can never be) put together again. I do not be-| Meve that any woman worth the) name wants to “belong” after the) first few weeks of the honeymoon and she begins to realize that this) world contains something more than just romantic love, or rather when she begins to realize that ro- mantic love cannot last. I wonder {f that Mr. Stuart told} the truth when he said he had) never found a woman he could be interested in for long? I suppose a man as rich and| charming as he is worried to death by women who fling themselves at his head. Jim called, me up the next, morning to say that he was send ing a taxi to take Kitty to the train, and incidentally remarked that he had never, heard Stuart so enthusiastic about women as he | was about those he met at Elienc's “And, Margie,” he said, “Mrs, Wav-| erly is the loveliest of them all.’ “Jim, you are an awful flat-| terer.” | “No, Tam not. I didn't want old Malcolm to say that even If It were what I have always thought myself, and I would not have told you if he had not gone away this morning.” I wonder, little book, why I was Aisappointed. I'm glad you are not able to answer back: “Because you Ike to be flattered, you silly, egotistical thing.” But, little book, you should know that flattery is something which olls the wheels of life's machinery it is only when people are mar. ried that they forget that machin-| ery cannot be run without oll | (Te Be Continued Monday) STAR—SATURDAY, AUG. 14, 1915.
