CHAPTER LXIN.

Didn't we have a good
timer" said Mollie as she snug
gled up to me in bed. for we were
sleeping together after our little
dinner downtown.
In a few minutes she asked,
"Madge, are you asleep?"
mo, dear"

thing"
"All right, go ahead"
"You won't think I'm awfully
wicked?"
Nothing, my dear child, would
make me think you were awfully
wicked. l might think you were
ignorant and foolish, but we are
all that at times, no matter how
old we get"
"Oh, Madge, you're such a dear.
You seem to see things from such
broad viewpoint. l would not
dare tell mother what ] tried to
do-for / didn't do 1t, after all.
You see, after mother got that
telegram that Uncle John was sick
she was all up In the air. She
telephoned Dad and he told her
they could take the next train.
What shall l do with Mol
lie?' l heard her ask over the
phone.
" L can go over with Madge
and Dick, / answered quickly,
and she seemed relieved.
"She was so worried about Un-
Gle that she didn't think any
more about me. You know,
Madge, that mother is one of those
one-idea women. She Is never
able to work out anything big.
She is so completely engrossed
with one or two details of it."
Lots of people are like that,
Mollie. Probably your mother ex-
pected you to telephone u.s."
"Well, after mother went away
l did try to get you on the tele-
phone, but could not. Then !
thought ! would go downtown
and do a little shopping and after
that I'd go out to your place for

you what to do. You two girls

ed her to marry me, but she
wouldn't because l wasn't
making much money, and
besides, she said, she didn't
know for sure, anyway.
Then l was in another
town and met an awfully
pretty girl there, and we got
engaged. Now l don't like
thatone any more, Miss
Grey, since / met one here
two or three weeks ago, and
l am in love with her. That
is bad enough, but yesterday
l got a letter from the one
in the first city telling me
ohO any bioiOB
marry me. What'll I do?
I'm promised to marry two,
and l don't want either one,
and | do want the one that
says she won't marry me; so
which of the others will I
take, IL any? Thanks in ad-
vance for your valuable help.

A.-Stay in the pickle-barrel

ton of the salty brine soak i'm.
You probably wish to marry
the girl who doesn't want you
simply because you think you
cant get her. 1 am glad she car
read you well enough to refuse
you.
Break with the other girls and
do not engage yourself to the
third one until you have known
each other long, long time.
Dear Miss Grey: l am
reading your letters daily
and like them. l know you
are giving the right advice
to all, but one l cannot I'M
derstand. You are so much
against kissing. Now, Dear
Miss Grey, don't think l am
of the kissing kind, but I
started to go with a girl last
summer, and in the fall we
became engaged, and are to
be married next spring.
Now, l never touched her
lips before l asked her to
marry me, and since then
when we are alone we do
kiss and can't see any wrong
in it, but this doesn't hap
pen every day, as we are too
far from each other to meet
more than once each month.
Now, do you think we are
doing something that we
may regret later? We think
very much of each other and
are old enough to know this
without asking you. We
both have passed the 20
year mark.

Dear Miss Grey: We are
y two sisters, both very young,
and having lived in the Wild
erness nearly all our lives,
We do not know anything
about etiquette, sometimes
causing comment by very
nice young ladies.
My sisters husband died
recently. What ought she to .
answer to expressions of
sympathy from friends? Is
it well enough to simply say
thank your" If answered
by mail is it desirable to
send note and how should
1t read?
When a man is introduced
to a woman is it ner place to
say, 81 am pleased to meet
you, Mr.. So-and-So," or
something similar? Upon
saying farewell to a man &C
quaintance, who should first
extend the hand, the man or
woman? / pray answer
these questions, Miss Grey.
HOPEFUL. i.
A.-The best rule of etiquette
1 know is:
"Politeness is to do and say,
The kindest thing i'm the kindest
way"
1t is considered right or kind
for people to mention to your sis
ter her recent bereavement, un-
less she mentions it first. She
can simply say: "Thank yOu," or
81 appreciate that"
Unless she wishes she need not
mention the matter, or just thank
them for their kind notes.
l do not believe i'm stereotyped
phrases in social mingling. Greet
the young man kindly, If even by
a smile, and slight bow.
Shaking hands has about gone
out of style, but l like the hOspi.
table way. Let that, too, come
about naturally. 1t is immaterial
which extends the hand first.

SUFFRAGETTES IN
MONSTER PARADE
Cleveland Witnesses One of Greatest
Demonstrations OF the Sort
Ever Held in America.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 3.-The
largest woman suffrage demonstra-
tion ever held in America took place
in Cleveland today when about
5000 women and more than 200
men marched through several miles
of the town streets. Today's show
ing marked the beginning of the
end" of the campaign to gain votes
for woman suffrage amendment to
the state constitution at the general
election in November.
Heading the parade was Joan of
Arc on Il white horse, Immediately
| followed by officers of Ohio's Wo-
man Suffrage Association including
many of Ohio's foremost women.
, Homemakers marched with women
of the business world. College wo-
men in cap and gown walked shoul-
der to shoulder with servant girls"
in white aprons and caps City wo-
men in smart tailored gowns ming
! led freely with their palmer sisters
from the farms and villages.
One of the most prominent fea-
lures OF the celebration was a large
peace float at the very head of the
parade. Another float attracted at
tention was one depicting woman $
part in the history of Ohio. Follow
ing this was a large decorated wag-
on bearing Ohios pioneer suffra-
/ gists drawn by fifty children all
members Of the Junior Auxiliary of
| the state association.
AT every corner a woman stepped
from the line Of march to mount a
stool or dry goods box to speak to
the assembled crowds. The mann
moth demonstration today was the
| climax of one of the most complete
and spirited campaigns Ohio has
ever seen. For weeks women from
all over the country have been i'm

er, and your reward is sure. Brother
Bailey (the pastor) looks young,
but he must have a head beyond his
years to accomplish what he has
done for Kershaw Methodism. or

much to aid the work. Now /
would advise all interested to con-
tinue to work and pray and success
is assured.
l want to say a little more in con
neCtion with what l have said about
Kershaw and that part OF Lancaster
county, viz: In 1S49 l lived with
Mr. s. Beckham at Pleasant Hill
clerk in his store-and through the
influence of the family was induced
to attend and superintend a small
Sunday school at little church
near Capt. Thomas l.. Clyburn's.
His first wife (whom l believe was
MethodisD and the family of
Jonathan Ogburn, were sure atten-
dants. OF course others attended and
at times we had a good crowd
At this day | cannot see much
fruit from my work, unless the late
Kershaw church was put forward by
what was sown then-sixty-fve
years ago. What think you, Broth
er Hamel? 1t was quite trip to
and from the church in one day, on
horseback. That fall (1S4D
moved to North Carolina and so
journed for a few years at Monroe
The little church building was suf-
fered to do down and thus ended
the effort to establish n church in
that vicinity.
You know, Miss Editor, that
have always contended that pa
rents and friends spend too much
for worthless toys, but | presume
this is one of the times that the
great bulk of such things will be out
of reach. so we need not fret be-
cause shipping is cut OFF i'm conse-
quencc of the European war. Some
may call me an oddity and charge
me with queer views, but | cannot
help that my views and doctrines
are peculiarly my own. If they
commend themselves to the public
let them be needed so far as may be,
otherwise they should be rejected
Now l believe that railroad trains
should be stopped on Sundays and
/ believe the owners and managers
are responsible and will be charged
with the desecration OF the day
Many other corporations are doing
wrong by operating their plants on
Sundays. but railroads employ more
men and do more business under
one management than any other we
can name, therefore we designate
that corporation. We are disposed
to censure owners and operators of
autos. 1t is almost safe to say they
are curse rather than a blessing.
The streets are alive with cars
(autos) most of the day Sunday
and In many cases crowds are off
on long trips and often. business
matters are looked after. In either
case, driving around town or off on
long trip, the church is neglected
