ly shipments of carload lots are being
made to these three inland cities from
points on the Gulf of Mexico in order

his share Immediately upon the ar

uted calling the housewives attention
to the fish, and telling how best to
cook them. Sea mullet. sea catfish,

Isabel laughed. You're a funny

But, surely, you love Bill"
'Oh, If you mean any of that devoted
passion business, l should say not. I
hate to be mauled. Why, Ruth. you're
blushing. Don't tell me that you enjoy
that kind Of thing
''Of course do. l love it when Scott
touches me-" Ruth's tone was defensive.
Her eyes were wide and her cheeks were
scarlet. She was lovely. far lovelier
than the perfectly groomed Isabel, whose
blonde hair was beautifully marcelled
and pulled into smooth waves under a
net, and whose regular features were
clean cut and cold. Just then Ruth
would not have changed places with
Isabel Carter for any consideration. All
OF which goes to prove that Ruth hardly
knew herself as yet; that she thought
she wanted external things only. when in
reality she hardly knew. Ruth had a
good foundation for Ilfe's lessons: she
could learn them. no matter how bitter
but Isabel Carter. never. Isabel's blonde
hair covered a calculating little brain,
and no Wanton heart could ever make
her color deliciously as, Ruth had done.
Such women are peculiarly untitled for
matrimony; they have SO little reason
for holding man who Graves physical
love and physical companionship equally.
Ruth's first real turning toward Isabel
Carter as friend had been when both
girls had attended bridge party to-
gether 1t was one of those senseless
afternoon affairs where young married
women congregate to play cards and
discuss everything under the sun over
the refreshments afterward. Ruth had
been astonished and u little bit dis
gusted at the perfectly frank. manner in
which these women had discussed their
husbands good and bad points. With an
innate sense of distaste Ruth had re-
fused to contribute anything. and Isabel
in her characteristic manner had been
studiedly bored, so that Ruth had Felt
drawn toward her in a manner that she
otherwise would not have been if Isabel
had taken part in the general converse
ton.
How can they talk of their husbands
that way?" she had asked herself pas
sionately again and again on the way
home; and then had come the question,
Had she had a good timer" No, she
decidedly hadn't. But an affair Of the
same kind would have eliclited an irnRe-
diate response from her just the same.
These were her friends, her accepted
friends As yet she had not learned to
pick and choose.

Dear Cynthia--I write the following
in answer to the article on the Woman's
Page about mems sincerity:
| think, "Perplexed," as a young man
with great respect for the opposite sex.
l may venture at least a partial answer
to your questions concerning an ad-
mirers sincerity. kidding Is certainly
a great American sport and furnishes al, an
and adds spice to lots Of otherwise
prosaic friendships. 1t Is so easy to tell
a girl she has the daintiest hand In the
world or that you have dreamed of her
who doesn't enjoy little .fattery.
For example, being a lonely soldier, l
started a correspondence with girl !
have never seen, and to be facetious and
interesting l have written her Things
that to a light-headed girl might easily
course, in this case such a conclusion
would be absurd. But to a sensible girl
as you must be to write such a sensible
letter, i do not quite understand why
problem. If your IDEAS Of love are any
thing like mine l am sure no "kidder' or
vender of gentle phrases would present
difficulties as far as sincerity were con-
cerned.
Love to me is the union of two i'm.
perfect hearts into one perfect one, and
when this state exists ! am sure no
frivolous eulogies or superfluous actions
could ever get by as the real thing.
When a real man Is really in love / do
not think he leaves any room for doubt
in his sweetheart's mind. Perhaps you
are young and naturally affectionate and
in love with love, so to speak, and take
lightly spoken words too seriously. In
any case l DO not think i am far off when
/ say you will recognize true love when
it crosses your path. Loves greatest elo-
quence Is often silence. 3

they both had similar tastes in their

them as far as these things were con-

able to have things in his own new es-

there was one fundamental difference be-

sort of presupposed ruling this season
that the small hat should be worn for

frock and fur coat; while the larger pic

company the dressy afternoon gown or
the gown worn for semiformal dinners.
