ter said.
No said Miss Emma Van Norden.
II consider it my duty. You car stick
to society; l shall join the army"
So Miss Emma Van Norden sold her
ball gowns for charity. but Miss Cora
Van Norden still appeared in society.
She went the usual round of the sea-
sons entertainments.
Il follow my sister," she laughed,
"oh, dear, no."
They were sisters, so 1t was only nat
ural that Miss Cora Van Norden
should go down ilto the slums to see
what Miss Emma was doing.
Il don't see how you can stand this"
said the girl of society But the other
only smiled. Presently Miss Cora Van
Norden began anquiring further about
her sisters work. 1t didn't seem so
bad after all.

cheerful view of the situation.

The Booth-Tuckers met and were
charmed with Miss Cora Van Norden.
Her sister talked quietly of the work,
and all the pleasant features OF Saliva

Dear me-" she said suddenly. one
day, a year ago. isn't there something
+ can do to help? l don't want to join

SO she was allowed to help.
There is a new editor today for the
Young Soldier, published in the inter-
est of the junior members of the army.
The, chief editor is away, and the new
editor Is Miss Cora Van Norden. She
has just taken charge. Her fathers ex-
peetations have come true.
lit is a very delicate matter to talk
about said Col. Lewis yesterday, at
the army headquarters. "But it is
true. Miss Van Norden is editing the
Young Soldier for us"
But Miss Van Norden still clings to
the outer world. Not yet can she con-
VINCE herself she must give up all So
cial gayety. She still wears her stun

But the truth is out. She has joined
the army. Her father has given up his
city house and engaged rooms at tho
