Mr.. Stagg was walking lbriskly to-

boots, such as all men wore In that To-

shop and cottage-which he always
sought to avoid lookins at-when he
heard a door open and close.
He tried not to look that way. But
his ear told him instantly that the per-
son who had come out was Miss Aman-
da, rather than her father. Knowing
this, how could he help darting a
glance ut her?
Miss Amanda stood on the porch,
looking directly at him.
"Mr. Stage" she called earnestly. II

shows the most earnest appreciation
Of your society by merely seeking it,
A girl who bores himq. but TO whom
he is indebted, he takes 20 the
movies; the girl he's perfectly will
ing TO share with the other fellows.
he takes to dance. but the girl
Johnnie honestly likes Is the girl
with whom he can cOntentedly spend
a quiet evening at home
Life IS full of quiet evenings at
home" Happy married people have
to be chummy enough tO9eujoy them
together. Happy married people give
each other sympathy and understand
ing without setting a price on them.
So do lOvers-sO DO friends.
A girl who puts price on her So
ciety. who lets greed and gifts and
graft come TO appeal too much 20
her. is simply uniting herself to be
a friend or a sweetheart or a wife.
And that is a worse charge than the
one we made originally against her.
Greedy. mercenary. calculating.
cold. ks friend and all others Of
that type are unfittinE themselves
for life and love For the sake Of
little presents and a garish present.
they are foreswearing LIES whole
beaut ful future and the great gifts
OF love.
