hungry. pleading gaze haunted her
day after day?-and the touch of his
hand was different from all other
hands. when they happened to dance
together. They did not talk while
they danced. and Irma smiled when
she thought OF those dances. Even
Aunt Frances could not guess the
possibilities of dance for getting
better acquainted. even when one did
not talk.
But this was positively the only
opportunity he had had OF seeing her
alone. and Ted seized It. Yet when
he finally caught up with her ne was
speechless. She had stopped. too. at
sound of his hurrying footsteps in
the narrow. hedge-bordered walk. II
was so dark he could not see her face,
and even that she turned from him.
Before he knew or thought OF what
he would do next. he had reached out
and taken her hands. She drooped
her head and Ted bent quickly and
kissed her-not on the lips. She gave
him no chance, but on the cheek, her
dear, soft cheek. with the fuzzy. rra.
grant hair curling around Il.
And then. Just as he was about 40

ter and merry. girlish voices in the
garden close by.
Where are you?" they called
We're going down to the shore. It's
too warm to dance"
The next instant Ted found himself
alone. The yellow dress had van.
ished precipitately down the dark
pathway. and he went back to the
hotel. glowing. triumphant and full
OF such assurance that when he saw
the colonel's wife he went over and
famed her as II he already called her
aunt.
1t was only after their next waltz
that he found chance OF speaking
to 1rma. She seemed SO self.
possessed and gentle that he envied
her. He almost trembled as he
asked her IL she would go into the
garden with him. He wondered how
she could help hearing his heart
beat as they passed away from the
crowd together.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

A man whom I know has recently
obtained position as an efficiency
| engineer
Do you know what that means?
Tt means that his duties are to care
fully and scientifically study the whole
| workings of the various plants in
which he is employed and tell their
owners in just what ways they are los
| ing efficiency.
He will tell one man that he ought
to abolish roll top desks because his
clerks are wasting time behind them.
He will tell another that his ma
| chinery could be arranged so as to
save his mems time.
! He will suggest to another that he
might save money by utilizing some
by-product which he is allowing to go
to waste.
When the efficiency engineers re-
Communications are followed the firm
which employs him often saves many
thousand dollars year.
7 Now how many hundreds of thous-
ands, nay hundreds of millions of volts
of human energy-or whatever other
unit you care to measure energy by
would be saved If every man and wom-
an would be his or her own efficiency
engineer?
Do you see what I mean?
Each of US possesses a certain given
amount of energy. Some have more
than others but all have a goodly
share.
Our minds and bodies are the plants
in which we use this energy.
Our pleasure in life, our characters
and our achievements are the products
we manufacture.
Now If each one of US were his own
efficiency engineer he would overhaul
that plant about once in so often and
see in how many ways he was failing
to get full results from that energy, in
how many ways he could increase his
effic==-
One girl would say am wearing

my pleasure in life and my ability to

Another girl would say am
wearing insufficient clothing in winter.
Consequently have to use my vitality
to keep warm and cannot have it for
other purposes"
business man would say am
not taking enough exercise. I ride
whenever 1 can whereas I ought to

does not do as good work as it could
A house mother would say do
not get outdoors enough and the lack
of fresh air and change of scene makes
me cross and nervous and incapable of
enjoying my family and my work as

An apprehensive and nervous person
would say-'I waste half my energy
in worrying. I will remember that /
there are two kinds Of things not to |
worry about-those you can help and |
those you can't, and 1 will utilize that |
energy in trying to help those that can !

And now-if by any chance you |
should decide that your plant needed |
overhauling and should engage your /
self as YOUR efficiency engineer, I |
wonder what YOU would say? ]

Renew Talk of Building New
Churches.
Movement for Baptist Building
Started Last Spring.
CONGREGATION GROWS

Was It SunstrOke?
CONGREGATION GROWS

With the approach of fall it is not
unlikely that movements will be start
ed for building new churches of one or
two denominations on the North side.
Last spring in an informal and extern
poraneous way a boom for a new
Baptist church was launched and re-
ceived strong support for awhile, but
died down as the hot summer season
came on. Some talk of a new Chris
tan church was started, but nothing
materialized. However, with the help
of the women of the church the Ex-
celsior Bible class built an additional
class room. The women drove the nails
and did other work on the building.
At a supper given by the young men
of the Baptist church last spring, quite
Unexpectedly one of those present said
that owing to the growth in numbers
of the congregation a new church was
needed and that he knew of some mon
ey which would be donated to such a
cause.
The meeting grew enthusiastic over
the prospects. In few days reports
were started that over 81, 900 was in
sight for the purpose. Then came
blockade. Some of the members
thought that the time was not yet for
a new church building and strenuously
opposed the movement.
And there it is. However it is not
unlikely that before next spring some
definite steps may be taken toward a
new church building by the Baptists
people and perhaps also by other de-
nominations.
