CHAPTER I5s.
Mother Lorimer Write. Me of My
Own Supposed Death!

1t looked very odd. that address 70
Mile. Eloise yanderlyn," in Mother
Lorimer's writing. on the envelope
which was handed me when l reached
my room. II was uncanny to receive
a letter about my own death written
TO a girl who was actually dead! /
had to wait until 1 was alone before
l dared to open it.
My dear Eloise"-rsn the letter
You will have heard the shocking
news by this time and will under
stand why l have not been to zee
you. I am not able to write about
Jane at all You realize better than
anyone else can, how much 1 loved
her, for you saw us together morn
ing, noon and night
The greatest horror IN the whole
dreadful affair, to me, is Bob's com
plete oblivion TO Jane as his wife. II
is terrible that she should have 70
die In the clutches OF that sorrow.
You will wish to know about Bob
u think he was not aware Of the ac-
cident. He left home the night you
did: he took a train TO Washington,
Joined his commanding officer, and
sailed again for France Immediately.
So, Of course he missed all our local
papers which made 50 much OF the
accident. As he was sorely pressed
for time think he probably did not
run over the death list in the Eastern
papers, And we did not wire him
you will understand why.
''If ! permitted life to break me,
Eloise, should collapse now. 1
stumble on-your own brave example
helps me-and / have my husband to
comfort. He adored Bob's wife, you
know.
''ChrystabeI has Joined us and We
are leaving for Amesville tonight Be
assured. dear Eloise, that shall
come to see you as soon as l return.
Get we'll fast--I hope you find the
ised It should be. Let me hear from
you.
II ordered Jappe TO send you flow
ers every day-but the English vio-
lets--they are all to go 70 Amesville."
So the Lorimer violets were all to

letter in my clenched hand-ahd 80

shook my resolve not to reveal my
Identity. Between the strained lines
of it I read the depth OF mothers
grief. II had been my impulse TO wire
her Of my setsty-I had been about
TO ask Tommy to DO 50, then DIR.

Women Cautioned
About Behavior
Toward Soldiers

Special to The washington Herald.
Cologne, Germany. - The Cologne
Stadt Anzeiger seems to fear that the
women of Cologne will become en-
amored of the soldiers in the army OF
occupation and it warnS them against
too friendly relations with their enc
mics. The paper says:
Women of Cologne. guard well
your behavior toward the English
troops. Be, polite but cold. Women OF
Cologne, take example by the French
women. II you wish to be on terms
of friendship with men, see that only
our own heroes returning from the
battlefield are the recipients OF your
favors.
DO not initiate those young geese
who forget their patriotism to the ex-
tent of smiling at the enemy soldiers
and even of Offering thesa flowers.
DO you think the women of Lon
don would have acted thus toward
our men had we invaded the city on
the. Thamesf No, they would have
flung mud at them and spat In their
faces"

SUFFRAGE GETS, BLOW
In NORTH CAROLINA
Senate Fails to Further Consider
Bill Giving Women Vote.

Raleigh, n. c.. March 6.-Suffrage
in North Carolina received a Sc
rious set back today when the SEN
senate Is attributed to voting down
Connor bill of election on the wom-
ans suffrage amendment to the
constitution.
This action on the part of the
Senate Is attributed to voting down
of the Everitt bill in the house last
night. The Everitt bill provided
that women be given right to vote
in municipal eections.
1t is not probable that further
efforts on behalf of suffrage will
be made at this session, in view Of
the fact that the general opinion
is that such an effort will prove
futlle.

ICE sP0ILERS

Spoil II you win but don't waste
This advice as curious as it may ap.
pear is daily given to classes Of smart
women who are interesting themselves
in domestic science as applied to ev-
ery-day kitchen problems.
Today, housewives whether rich or
poor are equally concerned in the
worldwide service of eliminating
waste. Not only at their clubs but in
their daily practices at home, each
woman is busy reducing the little loss
es here and there in order to increase
the purchasing power OF her dollar or
dime as the case may be.
Every housewife will quickly detect
any inferiority Of her matches. The
warning wartime quality is not nee
essary in order for her detection, but
1t is not so easy with baking powder.
Too often she judges its quality by
the price or the size of the package.
Perhaps it would be better to say that
she misjudges by these methods.
Take a concrete example, 10-cent
can of highest quality baking powder
such as Calumet, of which it is only
necessary to use one level spoonful to
the cup of flour, represents a real econ
omy as compared with the Big Can,
fully double the size containing mostly
some cheap filler which is used chiefly
for the purpose OF satisfying those
who want lot for their money and
who practice the false economy Of
overlooking the real service that quail
ity goods give. Just as a bottle Of
cream is worth more than a bottle of
milk, twice its size, so is a box Of
quality matches or a bar Of good soap
worth two of poor grade.-Adv.
