Three or four nights out of the week
Clay returned to his Office, and as often
Peggy, apparently uncomplainingly,
professed perfect willingness to retire
early and forget her loneliness. One
evening that Clay had intended to de-
vote to his correspondence, the vision
Of Peggy In a new evening frock
changed his mind. 1t was one of those
exquisitely simple gowns that expert
ence had taught Clay to know were the
most expensive kind. But even this
knowledge did not spoil the pleasure it
took in beholding his pretty wife so at
tractively dressed to meet him.
'Do you very much like this dress?"
Peggy asked him after they had dn-
ished dinner. 81 can really tell that
you do just by the way you look at IT."
And then, not waiting for Clay's On
thusiastic response, Peggy went on:

they looked to me TO help little. But
knew you couldn't endure having
two-course dinners or seeing me
dressed in a shirtwaist IN the evening.
so l decided to go along living just as
we always had, and I'd save the cooks
wages and my dressmakers bill by do
ing little myself. And that caviarre
we had the other night wasn't saviarre
at all it was just mock caviarre made
out of sardines. Nellys been a trump

and the nights when you don't we

HIS ALMA MATER
BY JANE OSBORNE.


When Clay Stimson received the ap-
college for contributions to support the
aviation corps that was to be sent to
the front by his alma mater he made
out that check for thousand dollars,
but before he signed 1T he thought Of
Peggy. Peggy made all the difference
in the world.
1t wasn't that Peggy was selfish, but
to be financed generously. 1t would
have been as alien to Peggy's nature,
thought Clay, to attempt any sort of
economy, even in war time, as it would
be alien to the butterfy's nature to
start in storing away the honeyed
sweetness that it gathers from the
flowers as the thrifty bee does.
It was just when he was turning into
the long driveway that led to the low
rooted bungalow nesting among the
trees where Peggy, who, he was sure,
ought to have lived in an Italian villa,
at least, deigned to dwell, greeted him
with even more than usual excitement
at the door. It was Peggy's manner
always to be in a state of delightful
expectancy and Impotence when Clay
returned home every night. Her vivac-
ity was contagious and Clay would
have been transported from business
or thoughts of the departing stenog-
rapher had it not been for the thought
of the unsigned check for one thousand
dollars. He was rather pensive at din
ner, stealing snatches of time between
Peggy's clever little sallies to medi-
tate and work out his plan of action.
In order to dispense with the stenog-
rapher, he was thinking, he would have
to work overtime It would often mean
that he would have to return to his Of
fee at night, patiently to type out the
letters that were not typed In the day
time.
OF course Peggy should not know.
He would have TO tell Peggy simply
that business. detained him.
Peggy talked glibly through dinner.
which she seemed to eat with a relish.
And more than once she stopped to
give directions to the waitress.
do you think the new cook will do?'
she asked, knowing well enough that
Clay never had word to say about the
household management. "You know,
had to dismiss Brady. I think this one
is rather better"
'Yes; that caviarre was delicious"
Clay had presence OF mind enough to
say; and then, venturing into an un-
accustomed field of inquiry, he added !:
ST suppose wages are advancing even
with cooksi''
Peggy pouted with playful note Of
annoyance.
YES; really had to agree to forty
dollars this time. I suppose shall
have to make an increase lie am to
keep her."
Had Clay found it possible to throw
off his air of preoccupation more easily
he might have remained at home that
first evening. But so eager was he TO
begin the work that would make the
sending of check for a thousand dol
lars possible that he excused himself
after dinner to return to his Office. By
eight o'clock he was busy with the
files, bringing his correspondence up
to date, so that the burden of his later
work would not be too heavy. IT shan't

BASEBALL

The high school boys are organizing
their baseball team for the spring
season. Reuben Blalock, who was
manager last year, holds the same of
flee this year, and with all the for
mer players that are left and some
promising new ones will have good
team.
The team will play on the regular
baseball field at Hunter Park. The
diamond and grandstand are in good
shape, but the fence is in dilapidat-
ed condition. A few dollars would
repair it, and our citizens should be
public spirited enough to do this for
the boys.
The team will give some gooo
games as soon as the season opens
and the Star hopes our people will
show their appreciation by turning
out in force to see them.

TEMPERANCE NOTES
WHY NOT PROHIBIT wATER7
(By the National Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union.)


letter clipped from one of the
New York morning papers has been
sent us for publication. The writer
urges that water should be prohibited
as 1t causes the deaths of thousands
of people by engendering typhoid and
other diseases. This reasoning is typ
zeal of much that emanates from the
liquor traffic. Water does not cause
disease. 1t has never poisoned any
man. 1t is only when some poison
like typhoid pollutes the water that
there is danger. The remedy Is to
prohibit or do away with the poison
not the water. And this, says Tenn
perance, Is precisely what modern san
itary science is trying to do. We no
longer confine our efforts to the saw
Ing of the victims of typhoid, we seek
to prohibit or destroy the cause. The
efforts of temperance people to do
away with alcohol as a beverage is
perfectly logical because alcohol is a
poisonous drug. IL alcohol were as
harmless as water only lunatics would
advocate its prohibition.

for another game, which will be play
ed Friday Afternoon on the high school
grounds. Their opponents will be the
members of the Gainesville high

to be most interesting one. The

always worth watching.

A wITLEss POLICY.

Representative Charles III. Randall
OF California, addressing congress in
opposition to the amendment to the
revenue bill placing a higher tax on
liquors, used this telling illustration !:
"The witless heather who on the
Ganges covered his black limbs with
leeches and ate them when they had
fattened on his blood was wise. He
took back into his body all they had
taken from it. We fasten ON the lank
limbs of our body polite the leeherous
traffic, and give fawning thanks when
It returns one drop of poisoned blood
from seven it had sucked from our
wholesome civic veins"
