ALPS w ell That
~ Ends Well q

Then into the midst of the story
came the other leg of the triangle.
Jim Forbes, a newcomer, had been
taken with Lil's dancing at one of
the evening affairs and asked to call
the next night. Lii liked Jim Forbes.
He looked big and strong and manly.
She wanted him to call, and forgetful
of the fact that it was Johnn's reg
ular evening she consented. Later
when she remembered she remarked
carelessly to her mother that Johnny
Dale was entirely too sure of her
anyway and 1t was about time he
realized that there were other men
in the world.
But, Lil," protested her mother,
you mustn't break an engagement
"Oh, mother, you are just deter
mined not to understand"
But, dear, you and Johnny have
been friends for so long, and he has
good position, and is such a nice
boy"
But we don't get along. mother.
Why, 1 have never thought Of
Johnny seriously. You're all just
throwing him at my head and tell
you 1 won't have him."
Seems to me you should have
thought of this long ago instead of
encouraging him as you have" re-
marked her mother severely. And
Lii was ready to cry when her part
ner came up to claim the next
dance.
Well she thought to herself, she
would have to tell Jim Forbes when
she danced with him next that she
had forgotten a previous engage
ment, and perhaps he'll never want
to come again, she thought dole
fully, and all because of that detest-
able Johnny Dale.
She pleaded that she was tired
after they had danced once around
the room, and her partner left her
in a cozy nook while he went to get
her a glass of water. Lii sat back
in the seat wearily and then started
up. On the other side of the screen
| a familiar voice was speaking.
"Oh, LIS all right" were the
words, "but we're just old friends,
that's all. Why. we quarrel just like
old married people, think of that. I
never could quarrel with you, dear.
And then there came a silence too
eloquent for words. Lii started up
angrily, but on reflection sank back
into her seat. She knew who the
girl was, that empty-headed little
Simpkins girl. Johnny had been
| casting sleeps eyes at her all even
| ing.
Were Just old friends, that's ALL"
Lii said half aloud. And / have
this next dance with Jim Forbes. -
And contented smile hovered about
| her mouth, for whatever faults Lii
had, jealousy was not one of them.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

This is one of the best possible
models for the shirt waist dress
that is liked for so many ma
terials. You can make it of
cotton gabardine, as in this
instance, either in white or in
color as you like. or you can
make it of the gingham that is
so fashionable, and it is avail
able for the street and for the
home. 1t is simple, too, as a
shirt waist dress should be and
it is perfectly adapted to the
washable fabrics for it can be
opened all the way down the
front and can be ironed with
ease. At the back, the blouse
is laid in one box plait and the
skirt also, and these plaits meet
one another to give becoming
lines. The chambries or plain
colored ginghams are very smart
this season and they are per-
fectly adapted to thisdress. They
would be very pretty with the
collar, cuffs, belt and pockets
of plaid gingham bound with
plain. The green chambray is
especially cool and Summer-like
in effect and it is very pretty
with trimming either of color or
of white.
For the medium size will be
needed, Oh yards of material
a7 inches wide, 4N yards SO.
The pattern No. o476 is cut
in sizes from 81 to az inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper on
receipt of fifteen cents.

and forget to be self conscious. Show
people you like them and talk about
their interests rather than your own
Offer your friendly interest-not
gushingly or sentimentally, but just
frankly and agreeably. Possibly the
particular young man in whom you
are interested has not again offered
to take you home because you were
too self-centered to be really ami
able. Why not suggest to him that
in case he would enjoy a little
glimpse of Country life" you would
be very glad to have him come tc

New Inspiration in the
Scandinavian Work Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church

The Methodist Episcopal church work
among the Scandinayians has taken on
new life in the several charges in the
state.
The Rev. John OVAL, who has for
some years travelled in the different
parts of the state organizing and build
ing churches is very encouraged, for
after being sent back from the Confer
ence to the same field for another
year hearty welcome was extended
to him. At Oregon City the Scandinav-
ians and Americans together gave a
happy reception and then the Swedish
people alone gave another reception at
Willamette. This was followed by
another reception in the City of Salem.
AT all these places not only speeches
of welcome were made but substaatinl
gifts of money were presented.
At Outlook, Oregon, the people, not
wanting to be outcome by others, pre-.
pared a surprise reception last week,
the church being finely arranged for
the occasion, and then the pastor was
called. The whole program was ready
beforehand and speeches of welcome
were made and a golden cross was pre-
sented as tribute from the church.
This is new church which was built
and dedicated last year free of debt.
Last Monday the people at Vancouv-
err Washington, not wanting to be be-
hind the other churches, also had a re-
ception and welcomed their pastor back
for another year, and presented a purse
of money.
This shows the inspiration and loyal
ty of these people to the church and
their pastor, and the future for the
work is bright this conference year.
Miller and arrange matters, If half a
dozen agree to enter the examination
will be held. According to the work
of the last examination, any stenog-

ity could pass. The government selects

Dallas, Or, Nov. 17.-Everything is
in readiness for the big Red Cross
Carnival that will take place in the
Dallas Armory tonight. The various
committees have been busy all week
soliciting contributions from the local
citizens and from the country people
and as a result collection of articles

the various booths in the Armory.
Several of the Dallas churches and

Hooverized candy will be offered for
sale. Amusements of various kinds
have been provided and one of the
chief attractions will be the minstrel
show composed of prominent local tai
