things, are your"
Why nOt?" l asked, wishing to
hear what he had to say about those
husband and wife things"
well, in the first place, most Of
them that have read seem to have
been written by girls of 16 who have
had no experience, or damsels of SO
who are looking for experience"
Jim, you are incOTTigible!"
We'll" continued jim belhgerent-
ly, did you ever read one of those
husband and woman things that was
human? They either make the
woman or the individually the
wOman-an angel and then, of
course, the other must be a demon.
Then they put them through a lot of
silly adventures that don't mean any
thing, and finally leave them in each
others arms, expecting you to think
that you have been looking at a slice
of life. You might possibly write
serial, MaTgie, having real charaC-
tiers, real psychology, real life in it,
but you would not dare to publish it
if any one would print it for you, be-
cause if you did you would smash to
atoms a lot of the false ideals so
many of us pretend to worship now
adays."
I thought Of you, little book, and
wondered if I ever did publish you if
your readers would stand for the
truth las I see it, which is written
herein.
What I said, however, was: my
story is not the conventional one be-

well, spiel away. What are you
going to call it?"
ANY Girl"
Jim gave an approving smile.
You see, it might be any girl, and
although my heroine is of the better
class-that is, I mean a girl who has
been brought up in a wealthy home
and has had the advantages Of travel
and education - yet these work
against her many times, and her eX-
peTiences in the main are not much
different from any girl who starts
out to make her own way"
''Wel, trot her out" said Jim as
he settled himself beside my bed,
lighted his cigaret and began to pull
to pieces one of the beautiful pink
rOses-a great sheaf of which he had
thrown across my bed as. he came in.

wantOn cruelty to tear a beautiful
rose to pieces, and I don't like to

Jim looked at the leaves crushed
in his hand a little quizzically and
then threw the great fragrant mass
over me. They dropped softly on my
white cOverlid and looked so exquis-
itely beautiful that l could not help
exclaiming.
There, when you see them add
ing to your pleasure instead of mine,
you don't think it is so cruel, do you,
Margie?" he asked rather malic-
iOusly.
I owned up, like a good little girl,
and proceeded to read Jim the first
chapters of my story.

An Honest Man,

Once upon time, Diogenes had an
endless search for an honest man, but
that was many years ago, and if he had
been fortunate enough to live in the
twentieth century and in the city of
blackfoot he could have found one
without half trying, as Mother Just can
testify.
Last Friday this Mother Just, who
lives up the Blackfoot river, lost her
precious Hetty Green hand -bag-it
hasn't as much in it as Hetty Green s.
but she felt the loss just as keenlv.
She knew it had been picked up some
where on the road southwest Of Black
