MRC. ELlZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a
iaoy who has three single sons and |
nave gone with two OF them several
times. or course we all cut up and
90, too. This lady and her husband
want me to live with them. My folks
are willing t. let me, but am afraid
the people will say am staying there
In order to get one Of the boys. l like
this lady and they all like me pretty
well and l would like to live with
tnem. am puzzled and thought l
would ask you for advice.
PUZZLED M. c.
You should do the thing that is best
Tor your own interests regardless of
what people are going to say. If YOU
act independently and do not look for
criticism you will probably not get 1t.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am twenty
nine years old and l have two young
men friends younger than myself.
BOTH OF them are in France and they
write to me that they love me and
they ask me to wait until they return.
one OF the men is three years younger
tnan am and the other is four.
nave always been considered a good
sport and | am young looking for my
age. like both, but l care more for
the one four years younger than my

Do you think it would be all right
for me to wait for him and marry him
when he comes back? Or do you think

of men you have saved from death as
devotion Let me give you mine for
all the remainder of my days. love
you. Sally-how love you!"
His head bent over her hands, his
lips upon them. She drew them gent
ly away.
"H-sh-Steve, you mustn't Oh,
hate to hurt you-but that's all past
Truly, it is. I've learned another kind
! of Iove-the only kind there's room
for in my life"
But life will be different when this
frightful work is done Peace has it's
right of love, Sally"
Il know. But l can't see so far
ahead. When you're on the firi1g line
you don't think of pretty little gar
dens. The work in hand absorbs you.
It's all according to where your lines
are cast. Mine are cast here for long
to come. ! can think of pothing else,
consider nothing else feel nothing
else. l to my work, Steve; you to
yours"
He sat motionless, a gaunt fig~re
enough in his wheel chair against the
moonlit background of the shack wall.
His thin hands, their provinces now
bleached, clenched themselves in lis
lap. He started forth into the unlit
lanes of the future
''Duty-that's all l see ahead. And
l shall do it. never fear. But. Sally
tell me one thing to take with me in
to whatever is waiting-if there is any
one else?"
'Ah-you torture me, Steve! Please

MAKES QUICK WORK
OF FRECKLES

Here's good news for freckle faced
folks A chemist who used to have a
large crop of freckles, kept trying one
thing after another TO remove the
blemishes. Finally he experimental
with danthol tetrate-a drug that has
very few uses. AS a result. he found
what is probably the quickest way to
clear the skin OF freckles, tan and 9th
er discolorations.
Any freckle victim can test this
method, by getting an ounce of danthol
tetrate from any leading druggist. APP
ply it with the finger tips. The skin
seems to absorb it quickly. and it is
harmless and pleasant to use.
Some people have been perfectly
amazed to find how quickly this chases
the freckles away. 1t costs so little
that any one can try it.-Adv.

sally, pleased" he pleaded, holding
her fingers SO she could not go on.
81 want to tell you SO many things.
Won't you let me-"
If you'll tell me the things l want
to know. Steve she answered. IF
you'll tell me about yourself-how you
came to leave Phillipsburg and came
over here, and about the home folks,
and and everything" she finished
iamely
That's soon told You went Could
! do less? Every regular guy had to
go. Things happened so fast there
wasn't anything else to do. l enlisted
with the state engineering corps. Had
four months training and was shipped
over. We got into mess at Blen-
Vile; the Huns took us by surprise.
So we fellows just dropped our picks
and shovels, grabbed our bayonets and
went at 'em. 1t was perfectly simple.
Then some one had to reconnoiter, and
got the job, that's all They got me.
You know the rest"
Sally smiled at the simplicity of his
recital She had heard the story from
the other fellows with many added
fiourishes redounding to the credit of
Stephen.
Steve, I'm mighty proud Of you,
DEAR" she said, taking both his hands
But the straight and unembarrassed
glance was not her old glance; not the
look OF love. She might have been
talking to her brother or any common
soldier in her ward. AS the old Sally
receded further and further from him
Stephen longed for her more and more.
"Sally-tell me. and don't be afraid
OF hurting. Do you despise me utterly?
"Oh, Steve. please don't! You know
] couldn't despise you even If you
hadn't done this splendid thing you
don't half give Yourself credit for. If
you mean-anything about the old
days--I can only answer frankly that
the past to me is as II 1t had never
been. II there was a wound 1t has
healed like your wounds, Steve. There
is nothing more TO say"
But there is more to say. dear My
heart Is Drumming with things to say
I want you not to forget the past
want you to go back with me IN mem
DRY to the time when we were Riddles
together. Sally, ond you mothered me,
and were so dear. But I want you
to think Of me as a blind boy. who

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Where
work there is e man who seems to
like me very much. He has taken me
out twice end have two engagements
with him in the future He is about
thirty.three years old and Swede. He
has been in this country four years
and still speaks with decided accent
although he talks very good English.
My mother has always been per-
JUDGED against anyone who talks with
an accent and so she does not like
this man. She is very cool to him
when he comes to the house and
makes fun of me when go out with
him.
like this man very much and would
like to go with him in spite of what
my mother thinks. Do you think l
should drop him just because he
speaks with an accent KITTY.
Your mothers prejudice is unusual
because most people enjoy an accent
when the English is pure. If she has
no other objection to the man l see
no reason why you should give him
up.

The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1918-02-21

The Shreveport Times of yester-
day gives the following news that
is of interest not only to church
circles but to our community at
large, as when the Reverend gentle
man presided as moderator during
a meeting OF the Synod here few
years ago, he made a very favorable
impression upon all who had the
pleasure of meeting him.
Friends of Rev. w. f. O'Kelley,
pastor of the Dunlap Memorial Presby-
terian Church in Jordan street, will
regret to learn that he has intentions
of leaving Shreveport in the near fut-
ure. His resignation has been submit
ted to the congregation, which will hold
meeting Sunday to consider it. 1t
will also be passed on by the Presbytery.
Rev. UKelley, it is learned, has re-
ceived call from Natchitoches, and if
satisfactory to his congregation here,
will accept the new charge. He has
been with the Dunlap Memorial Church
for several years, and has acquired
many friends throughout the city
through his various activities, among
which may be especially noted his work
with the Boy Scouts

of the Confederacy, recognize in
his passing the loss of one of the
South's defenders during the Civil
War; a man actnated by the
highest principles, loving his cause,
his country and his home.
Into the fierce battle of Recon
struction days he strove, nor ever
quayered his spirit, nor ever
faltered bis arm.
The same determination that
leveled his gun on the field of bat
tie helped to direct the salvation
of our beloved Southland from the
hands of carpet-baggery and rid
the country of the enemy who
thought her dead
Resolved: That We, as some OF
the benefclaries of this great
fipht take this means of acknowl-
edging our Indebtedness to our
deceased honorary member for he
part played by him in this great

Resolved: That copy of these
resolutions be sent to his sorrow
ing family as an expression of our
sincere sympathy: that copies be
furnished local papers for publica-
ton and one copy be kept with the
records of this Chapter.

Your Loyalty is Tested
by Your Obedience
to Food Rules

In this matter of food conserva-
ton the government at Washing
ton first suggests, then requests
and finally COMMANDS. The
press of the country give free and
frequent publicity to these meas
ures of economy because they are
vital to the winning Of the war.
Your loyalty is tested by the
willingness shown to make such
sacrifices as are asked.
Millions of householders in this
nation have signitied their willing
ness to abide by the rulings of the
food administration headed by
Herbert Hoover. The time has
come to make good your food
pledges. and to obey the new food
ruled. viz:
Eacn day, one wheatless meal.
One day wednesday,. a wheat
less day.
Each week, two porkless DAYS
TUESDAY and Saturday,.
No purchases of wheaton flour
v;thout an enual amount of some
other -four.
No purchases of sugar beyond q
weeks supply, and no purchasing
of any food supplies for the pur'
pose of boarding for the future.
Grocers, butchers and bakers
are under strict orders from the
government as to the conservation
of foodstuffs, wheat and meat par
ticularly. Do not seek any special
privileges or exceptions from these
merchants; make it agreeable fol
them to follow orders, since tt
oblIge you would result in thell
losing their licenses, though ii
might not penalize you.
Universal compliance with tht
program marked out by the fooc
administration will result in Et
hardship, to US or to anyone else
Grumbling only marks you as ONT
who is not in sympathy with oul
governments war aims.
Be of service to your country
Do your part ungrudgingly, will
ingly; it will make it easier for al
of us-and safer for YOU.
