Colorado Springs. June 90.
My Dear Teddy:
BY this time you must have had my
second letter at least five days, and yet
you won't answer. Well, I'm going to
keep on writing till you do, for I'm
bound you shall know that / still want
you to forgive me. Please, Ted, please !
I'll explain everything about that hOr-
rid drive, and I'll do anything to show
how sorry l am and / was so mean
about it that night, If you'll only write
to me and tell me that you still love
me. / know you do, for you aren't
the kind to forget a girl in a hurry.
It's strange that you can still love such
a hateful thing as I am. but I feel
sure you do. Oh, you must, Teddy,
darling.
If ISdon't hear from you soon, TIL
go into the nursing business, and take
care of a sick young man in this ho-
tel. He is away down the hall, but
the chambermaid sometimes tells me
about him. 1t seems the poor fellow
was knocked down on the street, where
he ran out and picked up baby who
was on the car track. 1t was a brave
act and made him hero, but it broke
his leg.
For my part, am not interested in
anyone now but my distant Teddy, who
IS angry with me. Please forgive and
write to Carol.

Teddy Dear:
This is a pretty nice Fourth Of
July, but / don't care much. Do you
remember the picnic we went to one
year ago today? That was the first
time you ever made love to me. I
can see you yet as you stood in front
of my hammock, talking so earnestly ;
and / laughed. Oh, well, I'm getting
my pay now.
I'm going to tell you all about that
horrid affair with Paul Elliot. wish
to goodness I'd told you before.
It was this way. Or course, when I
promised to go driving with you I
meant to go, and got ready and watt
ed. You said "four O'clock" you
know; and when you didn't come, and
Paul did, at ten minutes past four,
why, I said I'd go with him for mean
ness. remembered how you disliked
him, and / had made such a special
point of being ready on time that /
wanted to punish you for being late.
felt cut up when we passed you down
about block driving so fast, for :
knew what horrid position it put you
in, and how delighted Paul was; and
besides, it YVES the first time you had
ever failed to be on time.
Then that night when you came up
and talked so awfully to me-you've
no idea how stern and angry you were,
Teddy, and how scared / was-why,
just wouldn't tell you how sorry l
was. You made me lose my temper so
quick that l didn't have time to tell
YOU while was repentant, and after
that / didn't want to say anything but
how angry / was.
You had never spoken TO me so be-
fore, and-well, didn't like it very
much. 1 can't forget what you said
when you left. You banged the door,
too, Teddy, did you know It? 1t rings
in my ears: 'YOu never cared for me
a bit, or you couldn't have put me in
such a position. Since you won't ex-
plain, I'll go, and wait till you dor
Those words hurt me more than can
tell, Teddy. and can't forget them.
Now that 1 have at last explained
will you come back to me again? You
know you said you woodland |
can't live without you. Carol.

That is but N phase OF the chang
ing conditions being brought about
by the world war. People of every
class and clan are being thrown to-
gether and made to touch elbows as
never before. The result must be a
changed sentiment, not only within
our own country m among our own
people, but between those OF all ma
tions. In this the war must have a
beneficial effect upon the world.
People seemed to be growing farther
n farther apart in their ambitions,
interests and sympathies, but the
tragedies of val are already being
felt in a closer union, and a bond OF
sympathy and interest in one another
is being brought to realize that there
is something in life besides the sordid

democracy must bring a greater CO

Journal says e%ditorially: Financing
the railroads now becomes a part of
the job of financing the war.

with others. that no doubt led the
President to entrust the Secretary of
the Treasury with the dictatorship
of the railroads. True, Mr.. McAdOo is
the Presidents son-in-law, and is
credited with a lively aspiration to
succeed him in the Presidency. j,
