planning that international marriage

declared. was a potent cause Of war.
She ended by declaring that 20 have

Mrs. Amos r. Z. Pinchot, who pre-
sided. thought it would be difficult TO
put the fourth plank in practice.

platform, although her theory about
protection found several supporters.
The definite things done at the meeting
were the election OF Mrs. Pinchot as
president and the decision TO open per

THE MORALS OF SEAcLIFF
s.s ss&
BY Harold Carter
write as a member of one of Sea-
cliffs Oldest families. And write in
depression of spirits that human ma
ture can be as base as it has shown
itself to be in the person Of the sum-
mer cottagers.
We townsforlk used to be friendly
with the summerers. Many and many
a time I've sat in the Blenkinsops'
drawing room, a cupful Of tea on my
lap, as coy as could be, looking
round at the hundred dollar Persian
rugs and wondering where Blenkin-
sop got the money to pay for them.
Likewise many a time I've sat on
Mrs. Schofield's veTanda and won
deTed how any woman could prefer
that long-haired Pomeranian to a lv-
ing child. But never again will any
of the old families of Seacliff demean
themselves by mixing up with these
kind of people. And the whole trou-
BILE arose when Aunt Lily, who'd al
ways been a Democrat, got the post
Office away from Sol Rogers, Repub-
ican.
Who'd be postmistress of a fourth
class postof1ce like that of Seacliff,
with nothing but the value of the
postage stamps for pay, unless there
was something higher than money in
the profession? Read the postal
cards? Open letters that aren't prop
erly sealed? Well, all I can say is,
show me the woman who wouldn't,
or the man either. Besides, in these
days, with morals and everything else
decaying, who's going to look after
the community unless it's some God
fearing, respectable person like Aunt
Lily-or me?

Write to her very frequently and she answers me right away She lives about 1855 miles from my town. went over to see her about a month ago and was treated highly by her people. Also, she tells me she loves me dearly, but will sometimes mention about meeting a nice young fellow in her town, but never tells be she cares for any but me. Am not of a jealous disposition. Now what am going to ask you, Miss Libbey. is, do you really think she cares for me? Your early advice on the above question will be appreciated.

 The young lady has shown you, by answering your letters. that she is not indifferent to you. It is often difficult for some girls to find topics to write about I do not think she has any de- sire to cause jealous bangs in your heart. If she were so inclined, she could encourage some other young man without mentioning the fact. She has confessed to you that sshe loves you Without absolute proof to the contrary. you have no reason to doubt her word think she is sincere.
