ON LOGGED OFF LAND SWEEP ON Fire continued to race over logged off lands in all parts of the state Wednesday morning, but, according to Chief Fire Warden G. C, Joy, of the Wash- ington State Forest Fire asso- ciation, all fires In green tim- ber were under control. Appre- hension was felt, however, that the conflagrations would gain headway again if there was no change in the weather, The federal weather bureau here Wednesday morning predicted con- tinued fair weather in all parts of with moderate westerly winds, and, according to the fire fighters, this will make their work more difficult. Thus far the damage to commer- cial timber and logging equipment has not exceeded 6,000 in the state, Joy estimated, but he said that the danger is far from past The smoke pall that hung over Seattle Wednesday was caused by scores of brush fires in the logged off lands about the bay. Fires are burning in the entire district be | tween Lake Washington and Lake Samamish, but thus far efforts of the farmers of the region have pre vented destruction of ranch prop erty. No lives have been lost in the state by reason of the fire, accord ing to Joy, and there have been no serious injuries reported to his of. flee. | Today’s Programs | ab ae : ti terious Mir Liberty—Sessue Hayakawa in mura Togo.” Clemmer—Bryant Washburn tn “Skin- er's Baby.” Douglas Fairbanks in “Wild and William Desmond in “Master of His House.” n—Hesale Barriscale in “Bawbe Pear!

It concerns |Mollie; dear, darling Mollie. If Janything happened to Mollie I |think I could not bear it I feel toward her almost as tho she were my child, and she tells me I have been mother, sister, confidant and friend to her. “You have given me almost all my pleasures, Margie,” she said to me just before we started, “and you are the only person in all the world whom I can talk to freely.” Of course, 1 could never be as confidential with Mollie as IT have been with you, and that is the rea- json why I think every woman }should keep ailary. It is a great safety valve. It keeps us from \telling other people things that oft |times we regret afterward | “T don’t want to be sad or sorry,” sald a woman of great poise to me once, “I never tell my most excit- ing experiences, nor my most in- teresting thoughts to any one, for you are sure to get them back some day in a way that will bring you great sadness and make you |very sorry you told.” But very few women, little book, are sufficient unto themselves. 1 expect, in over thousands of years of more or less dependence, we have learned to tell some one our troubles and our joys. I said this to Jim Edie once and he said, “Perhaps the primitive woman told these little tales of her daily existence to make conversa- tion for her lord and master when jhe came home from the battle or The modern woman, if she be clever, does not do this, She her husband as little as he does her,” he added cynically, “I notice, while husbands and wives tell their secrets to wives and hus- bands, they are usually somebody else’s wives and husbands,” In wonder if Jim meant that, or did he just say it to be funny.

Poor chap, he has had a rather sad life, has he not? I am sure Mollie is the only woman who could and would understand him. “He is so moody at times I could not possibly stand him around, bat even now, when he seems to be worse than usual, Mollie goes on her way with a poise of which Tf never thought her capable. “She is perfectly calm to the out- side eye, altho I know she must have some of the terrible moments that come to a woman before her first child is born.” F I am sure, little book, Chad hi a secret dread he is not telling, even to Mollie, Surely he is not so foolish as to think Mollie may go mad as his first wife did.

Alice suits me better than even dear Mollie could, and Mollie is much better suited to Chad.
