Has Aadge at Last Made DiClxy
 Jealous?
 If it had not been for the memory of Iillian's advice ringing in my ears. I think I should have much astonished Dr. Petit and Harry Un- derwood when they started into the surf with me at the "desert island' where Dicky and I were giving our "picnic."
 The whole situation was most an moving to me. And, besides, it was so unutterably silly! 1 might have been any foolish school girl of IT with a couple of immature youths wing for my smiles for any reserve or dignity there was in the situation My fingers itched to astonish each of the smiking men with a sound box or the ear. Blu my fercest anger was against Dicky. If he had been properly attentive to me, MT. Un- derwood and Dr. Petit would have had no opportunity, indeed would not have dared, to pay me the idiotic com pliments, or to offer the silly atten- tions they had given me.
 On the other hand, if Dicky's in- terest in his beautiful model, Grace Draper had not amounted to an in tatuation which made even Lillian Underwood uneasy, Lillian, who knew every vagary of Dickys, I would never have encouraged either man even to the slight extent that I had. But Lillian had insisted that the only way to cure Dicky's undue interest in his model was to make him jealous Of me. SO I had obediently tried to play the game as she had outlined it.
 But how tired I was of the game! I stole a glance in Dicl1y's direction tc see whether he was noticing or caring about me. What l saw mad dened me.
 Something to Watch.
 Dicky and Grace Draper were romping in the surf, like two children, splashing water over each other, and running hand in hand toward the place far out on the sand-for it was low tide-where they could swim.
 They might have been alone on the beach for anything their appear ance showed to the contrary. And yet as I gazed I saw Dicky look past the girl in my direction, with a quick, furtive, watching glance. As they went farther into the surf, he sent another glance over his shoulder toward me.
 
 his apparent interest in Grace Draper he was yet watching me and my be- havior, something seemed to snap in my brain.
 I would give him something to Watch
 With a swift movement I slipped 6 little bit away from the two men by my side and filling my hands with water splashed it full into the face of Harry Underwood.
 'Dare you play blind mans buff?' I said gayly, sending another handful into Dr. Pettit's face, and then slip ping adroitly to one side I laughed with, I fancy, as must mischief as any hoyden of 16 could have put into her voice at the picture the men made trying to get salt water out of their eyes.

 It Meant I Was Growing Old.
 When it was too late to get off, l was disgusted with myself for knew that it meant l was growing old.
 Next time I have an impulse, I'm going to yield to it, just to prove to myself that the part of me which makes that possible hasn't altogether petrified.
 When I talk of yielding to inn pulses, I don't mean harmful ones of course nor insane ones like shrieking out in a crowded place when you are nervous, Or telling the dis agreeable person beside you that there is something about him you don't ike and you think it's his face To Say Something Direct From The
 Heart
 I mean harmless little impulses to do, to go somewhere unexpectedly, to say something direct from the heart.
 The definition of impulse is "a mental force which simply ana di- rectly urges to action"
 I think many of us would be hap pier if we didn't place so many re- strictions on the simplicity and di- re ectness of our natures.
New Britain herald., 1916-08-26

Well, why didn't you do it? said |.
 A friend had been telling me of an unexpected impulse which had come to her that day.
 "Oh," she said, with the air of one who tells of a fault overcome, I'm not so impulsive as I used to be. l seldom yield to impulses nowadays"
 There had been nothing wrong in the impulse Why shouldn't she have yielded to it, why have been proud of not yielding?
 There is such a thing as being too impulsive and there is such thing as not being impulsive enough. One Can Conquer Ones Impulses Too
 When you find yourself conquer ing your impulses too easily, look out It means you are growing wiser perhaps, but also it too often means that you are mot so young as you have been.'
 Not long ago. as I was on my way to town on the trolley, we were held up by the fire apparatus. The lire was on a side street. We could see smoke and flame, crowds sprang out, the air was electric with the excite ment that a fire always produces. l was going into town for some shop ping that did not need to be done that day The impulse came to me to get off the car and go to see that fire I stood up, and then the inhibi- tions got in their work, I might hurt my white shoes I had planned to do that shopping today, I'd have

REPAIR CARS CRUISE,
LOOKING FOR CRIPPLES
LATEST SERVICE FEATURE IN
FIERCE COMP TITION;
NOW WHAT NEXT?

Automobile dealers are more and
more developing schemes Of service to
customers. Most companies for years
have maintained service stations in
principal centers, where users of their
cars have been able to have various
establishments made. Some enterpris-
ing dealers have given with each car
sold certain number Of free hours
of labor at service depots, and others
have guaranteed gasoline at not above
a certain price for specified period.
The latest development in a leading
city in the middle west is to bring
service to the motorist instead OF
making him seek the service station.
One of the largest companies main
tains day and night service cars which
cruise around town all the time.
When the service cars notice car of
their make parked, they drive up and
examine it. If tire is Debated, they
pump it up or replace it. If the bat
teries are weak, they replace them
with new ones. Should it be raining
and the top is down, they put it up.
They carry Oil to replenish tanks if
needed.
More and more is service becoming
a talking point with automobile sales
men. The motorist is getting the bene-
fit Of growing competition. AS one
salesman remarked: "The game is
getting to a point where we will have
to paint man s house, NOW his lawn
and put in his winter coal in order te
sell him car.'
