Why did not somebody come to
her assistance and change the sub
Ject before another EN- barrassing
question could be asked?
But she need not have feared a
repetition of the inquiry just then.
Butler said no more except in reply
TO query as to whether he took
sugar and cream in his coffee, or
desired more butter.
Supper over, he pushed back his
chair when Amos rose and followed
him out upon the veranda, while
Elizabeth went into the kitchen with
Mrs. Chaplin to help wash the dishes,
A Remembrance
A half hour later the matron and
her companion came out upon the
Veranda. The sun had set and there
was a golden glow over everything
AS at supper, when Elizabeth ap-
peared Butler stood up.
Where will you sit?" he asked
addressing both women. Can l get
your chairs for you?"
"Oh, thank you," Mrs. Chaplin re-
piled with a kindly smile, but we
are used to waiting on ourselves. -
Elizabeth dropped down upon the
top step, II will sit here, thank
YOU" she said.
Butler seated himself on the
other end of the step, and sat re-
garding her intently, but not rudely

turning to Mrs. Chaplin, who sat be-
hind her. Am l like my father or
my mother?"
Well" the other woman an
swered slowly, hestitatingly, as if
feeling her way, Il can't just rightly
say, my dear, who you resemble"
Why had Mrs. Chaplin said who"

tice the slip, and, if he did, would
probably think the difference in

Chapin was a country woman; her
young protege, city girl.
Well" Elizabeth went on, deter
mined to conceal her inward trepi-
dation, perhaps I look like my
mother. l do not remember my
father. But you do. Cousin Martha.
Am l like him?"
Chaplin admitted.
Il could hardly have known either
of them." John Butler reminded
| Elizabeth, smilingly. Then, after a
moment, he repeated the question
he asked at supper.
Where did you say you came
FROM"
II was born in Boston," Elizabeth
! replied evasively. Later 1 was taken
to Pennsylvania"
Amos Is Gruff
This statement was perfectly true.
she reminded her protesting con-
science. AS a child, she had spent
a whole month in Philadelphia with
a relative of her mothers.
But where do you live now?"
the young man persisted.
TO Elizabeths relief, Amos Cha
pin came to her rescue.
Away off in Mauch Chunk" he
said tersely. What is your reason
for asking?"
''Why-why-I really don't know
just why l did ask, Butler stam-
mered.
Elizabeth moved uneasily. Why
need Amos speak so gruffly? It
was plain that he did not care for
the young fellow who had come
here to teach him. an older man,
about scientific farming. Yet. as his
reply made it improbable that she
would be annoyed again by awk-
- fNNStiObo as " NllSTt SHE
lived, Elizabeth was, on the whole,
glad that the farmer had made this
statement and that she had not been
forced to make it herself.
Perhaps" John Butler said mus
ingly to her a few minutes later.
Il asked where you came from to
try to trace the emblance re-
ferred to. But I know nobody in
Mauch Chunk, or in that part of
Pennsylvania; so whatever l saw in
your face was doubtless just a chance
resemblance to someone I have met
elsewhere"
Chance resemblances are Curl
ous." Elizabeth observed. "At-at
school ! knew two girls who were
much alike, yet were not related
at ALL"
She had almost said "at college"
instead of "at school," That might
have been a blunder, giving rise to
wonder as to how II happened that
plain Martha Chapin's niece was a
college graduate.

Had Knitting Needles
Made of Chop Sticks

Honolulu, Hawaii.-Chop sticks
were meant to feed the men of the
Oriental races, but little Chinese
girl, somewhat Americanized, a pub
lie school attendant, who has heard
all about the little Belgian sufferers
and the need to give American SOL
diers everything they should have
while in France. has decided that
chop sticks make perfectly good
knitting needles.
The youngster wanted to buy q
Thrift Stamp. but had no money.
Then she decided to knit something,
but had no knitting needles. So she
Communicated pair of chop sticks
from her mothers kitchen and be-
gan to knit with colored string. Her
first effort was hardly a strategic
success, but when she had finished
it she took it to Thrift Stamp head
quarters, where sympathizing
woman purchased it for quarter.
With the quarter the little Chinese
maid purchased her first Thrift
Stamp. Now she is knitting with
real wool and with real needles.

Elizabeth took it for granted that
John Butler bowed in acknowledge
ment of Amos Chapins introduction,
but she did not look at him to make
sure. She heard him take a step for
ward to pull her chair out from the
table for her, but she sat down hast
lily. before he could reach her.
There was an awkward silence
after the host had made the usual
comments on the weather. Eliza
beth felt it incumbent upon her to
say something. This nervous man
must not feel that he had come
into family of cold, stiff New Eng
landers.
Il hope" she said, forcing her
self to glance at the person she ad-
dressed, that you had a pleasant
journey"
A slight expression of surprise
crossed the strangers face and Eliz-
abeth realized that girl in the sta
ton she was supposed to occupy
would hardly have spoken in this
way to a man whom she had Just
met as lodger in her cousins home.
Thanks; 1 had a pleasant enough
journey" Butler repoined. But I
never sleep we'll on the cars, so I
found it rather tedious"
Another silence. This time Butler
broke it.

CHEERING A LONELY SOLDIER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

l am eighteen. and correspond
with a cousin of mine in the army
He is six years my senior. While
on a visit he told me my letters
had interested friend who is in
the same camp. He asked my
cousin if he would please ask me
If / would like to correspond with
him also. t-
1 would like to know if it is proper
for me to write to him.
F.C.
This is an unusual situation which
the war is making usual. The high
commanders have made us all recog-
nize how important it is that our
soldier lads receive cheerful happy
letters from home. So it seems to
no that for you to write to your
cousins friend will be a nice little
bit of war work. Don't look on this
boy as a possible lover or sweet
heart. Don't write him love letters.
Instead adopt him as another cousin

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
L recently met young gentleman

his personality. and would like to
know how l could further our ac-

You have put yourself in a dan
gerous position. You say you are
infatuated with this man. Don't see
him again, and don't meet any more
men in this way. You are throwing
yourself away. You don't know one
thing about the man, except that you
like his looks. He may be a very
dangerous character. Won't you be-
lievo me and guard yourself a little
better?
