THE CONVENTION
Little book, is II impossible for
a man to be honest with q woman?
Dick has known all along that
this meeting was to be held In Chi
cago. He expected to stop off
here, and / am not sure that he
did not expect to meet Jim here
and merely because he knew that
] would want the business ex-
planned to me IL he told me this,
he simply put the matter off,
thinking he could bluff me thru.
l wonder II Dick and l are go
ing to have differences over bust
ness? Sometimes / wish Mrs. Sell
wyn had left the money to Dick
and then l would feel that had
no right to interfere.
/ expect. little book, IL anyone
should read what l have written
here, he would say, "If that Ia
the case, why do you interfere
now?"
Simply because it is now my
stock and my business to look
after 1t. Just as Dick would feel
that he must look after his own
and not entrust 1t to me. 1t Is
my job just as 1t is his. I hear
Jim going in the other room, SO
I'll just turn out my light and
go to bed and act as tho I were
asleep for fear that Dick will try
to open up controversy again.
Yesterday when I awoke,
found that Dick had already gone
out. i dressed leisurely and went
down to breakfast. had hardly
finished when Jim called me on
the telephone and said that If I
wanted to attend the meeting of
the school book publishers I must
hurry over to the Congress- hoeel.
You will find us In the Gold
Room" he said.
Where is Dick?" I asked.
He has gone up to the Gold
Room" he answered rather apollo
getically.
"All right, I'll be right over"
l answered as hung up the
phone. l knew, little book, that
Master Dick was In for one Of his
grouchy spells that used to
dread SO much. I sighed, and
then laughed as it came to me
that l did not care so much now
whether Dick was displeased with
me or not. I did not have the
slightest intention of acting any
differently than I had declared /
would act. AS the majority stock

Dear Miss Grey: l would
like to give my opinion about
the case of the brother marry
ing his sister unknowingly. l
would say to their brother who
has found 1t out to not tell
them. AS long as they have
children they ought to be left
in ignorance as to their rela-
ton. To inform them surely
would mean nothing but mis-
cry to them all. There would
be nothing left but separation.
II would be terrible for them
to know the truth, now. after
all these years-and then chill
dren, they would be bound to
learn sooner or later. There
is q certain element In society
that would cast a reflection
upon them, even tho they are
innocent, and cause them years

HohC. "A CllOlt oitSh
ward l received a letter from
this woman saying my lover
was untrue to me; that he was
married shortly after l left for
home. She also had someone
write to him in my name say
ing l did not love him, which
she sent to him. We never
wrote to each other because we
were so badly hurt.
Now, after this long time,
we have met again, only to
learn the truth. He has never
married. At the thought of the
wrong done us am nearly
crazy, because he still has my
love and l have his. Don't say
l am tickle because now l
can never be happy and good
wife away from the man l
love.
Please print this as soon as
possible as l shall look and
long for your answer. e. C.
just another one of Life's three
cornered tragedies. Since you are
innocent of any guilt, you should
not hesitate to acquaint your hus-
band with the situation. II he is
a big, brOad-minded man, he will
not wish you to remain his wife,
when you have always loved an
other, even tho he cares for you
very much
On the other hand, you did your
husband q great big wrong IL you
married him, not loving him. If
you felt that you loved him and
have been happy with him, don't
be too sure that you would be
any happier with the other man.
The appearance of the first love
may be only a sort of camouflage
that will temporarily blind you.
Wait until your head is perfectly
clear and your heart certain be-
fore you make the decision.
Dear Miss Grey: I have
found 1t true in a number of
cases that a break in friend
ship follows the gift of a sharp
instrument, such as knife,
pin or pen. This has happened
to me a number of times, and
in each instance it was with
some friend l thought l could
never. give up. But those great
friendships have turned almost
to hatred. Now man who has
been attentive to me recently
gave me his knife. | don't want
anything to cause a disagree
ment with him, and il I should
tell him what believe he
might think me silly. What
would you advise me to do?
FOLLY.
There Is no power 10 break
friendship in such q silly SUPER
stitiOn. The broken friendships
have resulted from something in
the disposition or character of
one or both the parties to the
quarrel which made it impossible
to agree, rather than the influ-
ence Of an inanimate object II
you IKE the knife, keep 1t. II
not, return it and ask the man In
the future to give you flowers or
some less "baleful" gift.
Dear Miss Grey: Would you
kindly give your opinion and
also have some of your readers
express their views on the
subject, Should or should not
enlisted men or men subject to
draft marry, assuming that
their love is true?"
ONE IN DOUBT.
Turnout the ages war has not
prevented men and women who
loved each other from wedding,
but often served to hasten the
day. In view OF this fact, I can
SEQ no reason why the men Of to-
day should not marry the girls
they love before they depart for
the front.
