1t seems as though 1t might feel,

and l am determined that no one
shall see it until Dick comes back.
Today Molly telephoned me
that she and her mother were
coming over and l said: please
don't come till Dick comes back,
as then our new rooms will be
all ready"
Molly, bless her heart, under
stood without me saying more,
for she said: II know what you
mean but which you don't say.
You don't want any one to see
those rooms until after Dick sees
them. I'll head mother off,"

CHAPTER XLVIII.
Dick has gone on a trip and ]

DICK has gone on a trip and
am utterly disconsolate.
Last night when he came home
and told me he was going away
for a few days l concluded
would be \gald to have him out OF
town while was getting our
rooms into shape.
But today, after l knew he had
left the city, | seemed to have lost
all ambition to do anything. For
the first time in my life l knew
the meaning of THE WORD
LONELINESS.
The decorators have finished
with our rooms and the soft gray
green of the japanese mating is
lovely background for my jap
anese prints and beautifully col
ored etchings.
The rug for which I exchanged
SO many duplicate wedding gifts is
a beautiful Bokhaver, and my
chairs and roomy empire sofa with
its head up to the window so one
can lie down and read are all
artistic, comfortable and inviting
For the first time in my life !
have INDUCED my taste in house
furnishing and l am sure that
Dick will be pleased with it.
On the wood mantle l have
placed bit of wood carving which
| have had done as a surprise to
Dick. 1t reads: "A LITTLE
PLACE CALLED PARADISE. God
grant that the serpent does not
find his way in"
The whole living room is
charming and l know Dick will
like 1t and / am sure he will see
the difference between this quiet
restful place and the garish and
tasteless drawing room" at his
mothers house.
Dick laughingly told me when
was fussing about getting the fur
nishing of these rooms that was
like all other women and allowed
little things" to dominate my
life.
1t is true that IL Is the biz
things that draw ms up to heaven

Pork sausage usually contains

Dear Miss Grey: In one
of your answers | note you
say that women should get
to work to change the law
that causes woman to lose
her citizenship IL she mar
ries a foreigner.
IL a lady is foolish enough
to marry a foreigner who.
makes his living In the Unit
ed States, and won't become
citizen, she deserves to lose
her citizen rights.
There are lots of good
foreigners here, but when a
man makes his living here,
why can't he become an
American citizen?
AN AMERICAN
A.-SO? Well, what about the
men who marry foreign women
Should they lose their citizenship?
hardly think you will answer
"Yes" to that question. What ID
"sauee for the gander is sauce for
the goose" In the answer you
mention we were discussing why q
woman should lose her rights-not
why foreigners should become
citizens.
Dear Miss Grey: I have
been keeping company with
a young man for seven
months. Somehow l never
did care for him, but went
with him through sympathy,
because he was lonesome and
has no other girl.
] find he hangs around
pool rooms, with bad bunch
of boys, and CANDLES. How
can ! tell him l do not care
for his company without
hurting his feelings?
He gave me $40 necklace
for Christmas. Shall | return
it?
GIRL OF SEVENTEEN.
A.-Why not be honest wit,
the young man, and tell him wha
you have heard. Tell him plainl,
but kindly that you will not Civ
him your society unless he stop
his way of living, and then oni,
as a friend. And stand firm il
what you say.
You realize now why tell girl
so often not to accept expensiv,
presents. The very fact that girl
will do so, sometimes leads mel
to gamble. That, Of course, is m
excuse for the man, but 1t ought T.
open the girls eyes. Ask him |
he gambled for the money to bu
the necklace, or simply tell hin
you see where you were wrong II
accepting anything so expensive
and that you are going to max
il u rule from now on not to do SO
II you will treat him kindly
showing him he must come up {.
your standard IL he wishes you
friendship, You may be the mean
of great good to him.
