Quickly. with an eye trained to

Of the little restaurant, one step be-
low the street: the freshness Of the
shirred scrim curtains; the bright
ness of the autumn bouquet that
decorated the center OF the shallow
window
"I'n eat my Thanksgiving dinner
here" decided Frances, and made
hasty note in a little book which she
took from her handbag.
She walked on br!skly. but the
light faded from her eyes and her
lips took on a dropping line. she
was thinking that making plans to
eat ones holiday dinner alone in a
strange restaurant was not cheer
full occupation. to say the least.
'If I had not given up my posi-

Scarcely more elated in spirits, but
trying to assume an air and an ex-
preston in keeping with her festive
wearing apparel, Frances Kellor left
her cheap furnished room on
Thanksgiving day to go to the ad-
dress she had noted.

the young man. He took the seat OPP

He shook his head mournfully with
out speaking; and Frances, fearful
lest she had stumbled on a painful

ANOTHER CALL MADE FOR TINFOIL

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 There's a call to us from the govern ment to save tin. Our tinfoil collections should double. Last yeap the national consumption of tin was over 71,0O0 tons. Five thousand tons more than we can import are needed now by the war de- partment. Pick it up. Don't throw it away. Don't despise it. Tin is used in a thousand ways, and on the way through our hands it blesses the sick, the hungry and the needy.
