In days of peace men and women worship the half of selfishness, and make endless sacrifice at the petty of business, pleasure, ambition, material comfort— the modern fetish of “getting ahead.” A man will lose » and temper over a small defeat by a business com- Hitor, and a woman will burst into tears if her baking or fret for days over a social slight. But in days of war the half-gods go. They cannot live in the white flame of sacrifice and agony by which the world is tried and cleansed. i From France comes Margaret Deland’s story of the French wife recounting the break-up of her little when the young husband was called to war, All jous furniture was sold. bought those things together.

Surely a man who joves a girl does not wish her to take him in such a condition It neems to me that instead of showing him spineless or principle lens, he was showing himself honor able and above-board to the core.

In your arraignment of “Miss 22” you seem to lose night of the fact that in her letter she stated that she had been engag: ed to the man who went to France for six years. Surely, when she had remained faithful to him thru these years she was entitled to the “honor and pro- tection of his name,” as she put it. And I feel with her, that her lover might have at least anked her how she felt about it The majority of girls who are engag- e4 to boys who are going over there do not feel about marriage as you do, Their love is not so purely physical that they do not consider it a privilege to marry their lovers “for better or for worse.” Says They Would | Be Pair of Curs Dear Miss Grey: Your answers | ment of Solomon, but I wish to en-! ‘ay ILE INTIMES WORTH day, and upon his return brought his wife a beautiful bouquet and pag: | rot.—-Greeley, Colo., Tribune We suppose that Fred Fulton will go to work.
