Is There Something Lillian is Keeping
 Back?
 As if in answer to my unspoken query, Lillian stirred, turned her face from the fire and looked at me.
 "Of course Madge, you're thinking that if Robert isn't permitted to car ry out this mad purpose of his his brain may snap again, but l am sure you are mistaken. It is far more like- ly to break if he goes on such a hopeless quest"
 That isn't your real reason, Lt1- lian," I said boldly, for neither her manner nor her words were convinc- irg.
 She glanced up at me, startled, then looked away again, her lips set Gelg in the thin, obstinate line I knew so we'll I spoke quickly that her de- Examination might not have time to harden.
 Suppose you tell me all about it, dear" I said softly, "before you de- eide anything. Remember, I've been out of things so long that I feel al- most like 8 stranger. For instance, had no idea that you and Robert had had
 EXchanged VOWS Ike couple or school youngsters?" Lillian retorted bitterly, gazing sombrely into the fire.
 That isn't worthy of you, Lillian" I returned quickly, "nor is 1t fair to Robert
 She caught her breath sharply, and the next minute she rose impetuous- ly, crossed over to me and crouched down on an ottoman beside my chair burying her head in my lap.
 "I'm-I'm going to make a fool ot myself, Madge," she said brokenly Don't mind me, dear"

Two announcements affecting sol diers were made at the headquarters of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross yesterday.
 One was to the effect that Red Cross chapter workers throughout the country had been requested to discontinue the direct distribution to drafted men of knitted articles made from materials provided by the Red Cross The limited supply of yarn and the necessity of preventing du- plication in the distribution of the ar ticles are responsible for the sugges- ton. The yarn on hand, 1t is pointed out, is sufficient to provide for the requirements of the foreign relief and military relief departm Red Cross Representatives of the latter department, attached to all camps and cantonments, will distribute the knitted articles among the soldiers from now on.
 The second announcement states that as result of an order, issued by the General Staff of the Army at the request of General Pershing, barring comfort kits from the personal bag gage of soldiers going overseas, the Red Cross has decided to end it's dis tribution of comfort kits to the mon in the training camps. Practically all articles contained In the Red Cross Comfort Kit can be obtained by the men in the camps and canton ments in the United States The rap Id movement of troops to France and the limited amount of shipping space on transports for the necessary equip nnent which the soldiers1 must carry with them prompted General Persh- Ing to make the request.

What a brick you are, Madge," she commented understandingly. And you're right. It will help me to tell you.
 Robert Savarin and I needed no words" she began, and 1 wished that the lonely artist could hear the love lit in her voice as she spoke, ito tell each other what we really felt. And there were none spoken until he brought Marion back to me from the Catsllllls-you remember when she went at the time of her grand mothers death ?'
 "Perfectly," I responded, also re- membering how wonderfully the art ist had suceeeded in reconciling the nervous child to her beloved grand mothers passing on, and how the little girl clung to her "Uncle Robert when he brought her home after weeks of absence in the mountain home of his sister, Mrs. Cosgrove.
 Marion really was to blame for it all" Marion's mother went on, a tender smile lighting up her face ''for when Robert told her he was going back she made regular spoiled child scene, crying that she never wanted to leave either her mother or her Uncle Robert again, and demanding riously-heaven only knows where she got the idea that we should marry so that Un- cle Robert could be her really truly father"
 And of course, you promised her, I said slyly.
 Not exactly, Lillian returned so- berly, and I saw that she was in no mood for teasing, "but Robert finally succeeded in pacifying her-you know what wonderful influence he has with her-and afterward-Well, we of course, told each other much that would in other circumstances have remained unsaid."
 And I'm glad of it." I returned impetuously. For if ever two per-

 '"Thank you, Madge,'' she returned quietly, almost solemnly. But it is a happiness which I am afraid will never be realized"
