from Dora's apartments.
Only a few minutes had elapsed

Well, my dear; YOU dressed very

She could not marry Gerald Stew
That was the conviction that i'm
pressed itself upon Cynthia Longs
mind after she parted from Milton
NanSaun.
In stead of going directly to her
uncle's house, she crossed Fifth
avenue into Central Park, walking
rapidly, as if the exercise would
help calm her mental turmoil.
She had always known that a
loveless marriage was a sin. Yet
she had promised to enter into such
union. She had done this because
she was sorry for man whom she
liked and respected and who, she
believed, loved her. But this after
noon Edward Van Saun, with a
manner that made her feel as if her
own father were speaking, through
him, had said things that recalled
that fathers teachings. Then Milton
Van Saun had voiced exactly the
same sentiments. and her heart had
echoed them. She remembered now
the look in his blue eyes.
But she must forget that look.
That had nothing to do with what
her conscience was saying to her.
not love.
What about Gerald himself?
Would he not suffer in the break
ing of his engagement.
1t was the weak part of her ma
ture that asked this question of
her sterner self. She answered it
promptly. Even if he did suffer.
it would be kinder to allow him to
endure that pain than to deceive
him with the prospect OF an inn
possible happiness.
A fine rain like a Scotch mist had
begun TO fall, but she did not no.
tiCe it. until. looking UP the Mall,
she saw the electric lights reflected
in the shining pavement Then,
with a sudden appreciation that her
loat was damp. and that it was late,
she turned about and retraced her
steps quickly.
1t was seven o'clock when she
reached home. The butler who ad-
mitted her told her that dinner had
Just been announced. At the. head
of the stairs she met her aunt.
Dora Out of Hearing
You are late, my dear" Mrs.
Livingstone remarked. "Why-you
are wet, Had YOU no umbrella"
No" Cynthia admitted, Il did
not notice that it was raining"
Dora has gone TO bed with a
hea dache," Mrs. Livingstone in
formed her please make no noise
in your room. l have shut Dora's
doors so that your light will not
waken her. I hope she is asleep.

Don't wait dinner for me. please.

do not want any soup, and will just
begin where the rest of you are
when I get downstairs"
II will have your soup kept hot
until you come down" the matron
rejoined gravely. You must not
neglect your health, Cynthia. You

Dora is if YOU do not take better

Honorarx Memberships.

Two additional French societies
have been elected to honorary collec-
tive membership in the American
National Red .Cross-L'Union des
F,emmes de France, and LAssocia-
ton des DANES Franchises. These or
CARNATIONS. together with the Societe
Franchise de Secours AUX Rlesses
Militaires, which was elected to hon
orary membership in the same class
q few months ago, constitute the
French Red Cross. All three are con-
trolled by a central committee.
The class Of collective membership
known as Honorary Collective Mem
bership was created by the executive
committee Of the American Red Cross
in March last. It is designed to m
brace such foreign Red Cross societies
as may be approved by the central
committee, and may desire to be en-
rolled as members of the American
Red Cross. The action with respect to
the Societe Franchise de Secours Aux
Blesses Militaires was taken at the
same meeting at which the additional
membership class was created, at the
urgent request of the American Red
Cross commission to France.
In a cablegram requesting that the
two other societies composing the
French Red Cross be elected to honor
ary collective membership, Major
Perkins, American Red Cross COM
missioner to Europe, stated that the
former action Of the executive COM
mittee had met with an enthusiastic

HOME DEMONSTRATION
WORK is IMPORTANT

Home demonstration work has been
accounted by the department of agri-
culture as one Of the very important
war measures and there are at pres
emit over fifteen hundred home DEM
onstration agents working in the
United States. During the a year
and q half these agents have done
telling work in helping to spread the
doctrine Of food conservation and war
time economy in the home. generally.
There is a movement on foot in our
own state to have q county demon
stration agent for each county in the
state. but &C far Burleigh county is
the first to employ n Of these agents
and assume the obligation OF
support required. For the So
ties in the state. but eight demonstra-
ton agents can be placed, and that
leaves q wide territory for each one
to cover, or each will have to be as
signed to one OF two counties, and the
remaining number will be given help
from the agricultural college office.
Mrs. Lillian T. Beard, with head
quarters here, is the demonstration
agent for this and five other counties.
Through the summer her work chiefly
has been along the lines Of food con-
s%ervation. but at h present lime
is outlining a plan Of work to include
clothing conservation, covering h
making over of old clothing and h
general lines of sewing necessary in
the home. Some Of the lines Of work
in which a home demonstration agent
aims t. be Of assistance include foods,
the production, preservation, values
and substitutes; child welfare: CLOTH

management and home c~onveniences.

asked was heIp IN gettlng TO a gov
eminent home for disabled soldiers.
(. For a man Of 20 to enter a home
for old soldiers seemed to the home
service workers a great pity, and it
was suggested to him that he try to
educate himself for some self-support-
ing work. He had been fairly we'll
educated in Russia and was eager for
a chance to show what he could do.
The home service section secured for
him a scholarship in a good business
college and permission from a Y. M.
c. A. Office for the privilege Of prac-
ticing on one Of their typewriters.
With these opportunities he turned his
back resolutely against a, life of de-
tendency and set out to make good
for himself.
