THE BLUE TRIANGLE
CAMPAIGN

We have five million girls in
the United States outside Of
cities. They are our second
line of defence. They are the
hope of the future. They need
leadership, training and cncour-
agement. They have II big
task ahead of them. We must
help them keep it.
Following the war there will
be a period Of reconstruction,
the making of new standards.
Girls and young women will
have IA far larger share Of re-
sponsibility IN this world of
peace than they have ever had
before They need the strength
OF united efforts such as the
Young Women's Christian Az
sociotion affords, in order to be
ready for the future. The In
dustrial Women's Service Club
will be organized in Industrial
communities. These centers are
equipped with rest and reading
rooms, with gymnasiums and
cafeterias, and are opened in
rented quarters. Inasmuch as
the woman OF our country who
SO periodically have taken the
places of the soldiers at the
front, and are now willingly
giving back their positions to
the heroes, the Y. W. @. a.
steps in and aids the self-sup-
porting woman to locate her
self elsewhere.
All OF this requires financial
support, and the Association
nov asks the United States for
81 ,00D,O0o for reconstruction
work in this country only. The
fund will be apportioned as fol-
lows
Child welfare, $l5o,OOO;health
and morality, 100000; Ameri.
canization, 5000, 600; women in
industry, $50, 600; education and
information, $4,000; prohibi
ton, 100000; headquarters,
Evanston and Westinghouse,
600; equipment and repairs, 500.
600; field service, $4,000; ad-
ministration $40, 900. New York
and Pennsylvania will have
the largest quotas, with $l35, Z
600 each, and Ohio will be third
with $l2G, 900. Kentucky is to
raise Sll,G00 and Virginia $lG,-
$50. Wise County's allotment
is very small, and instead of
raising our quota by an house
toulouse canvas, we ask the
churches of the six largest towns
of our county to raise it through
their respective Ladies Aid So
cieties. The folio wing Chair
men for the respective towns
have been appointed.

CHAPTER LXXXVI.


TTOW strange life is! How more
i than strange We're certain periods
of nv life. 1t is a terrible thing
TO be Jealous of the living, to feel
that one you love is spending time
and thought with another, But it
is infinitely worse to be jealous of
the one who has superseded you in
the affections of the man you love,
when you feel that he still gives her
the greater affection. One might
fight living personality of whom
one was jealous; but how impossible
and how wicked-to fight one who
has passed on!
1t had been several days since l
had read Leola's letters-days in
which l thought of nothing else. l
felt almost as if had had glimpse
of her living, so strong an impression
did those written words make upon
ME.
If Everett were kind | would think
of what she had written-that he
never had, never could love another.
That was it. He couldn't love me
because his love was buried with Lee
ola. Ard was learning each day to
love him more dearly; to long for his
love in return more passionately.
At times / felt l must open my
heart to him, must tell him now l
suffered because of his fealty to
Leola, must tell him I knew why he
didn't love me. Then my pride would
intervene-and yet not so much
pride, perhaps, as hope that some
day | would win him.
"If he would let me take down
her pictures would be happier" |
muttered as / stood before her pic
tured face.
| know now that had | followed
my inclination and told Everett all
| felt, even all l had done-reading
Leola's letters, ETC., he would have
made me see things as they were,
not in the distorted way they appear
ed to me. But it was harder than
ever for me to be happy, l cried
whenever l thought of those letters,
and that made him cross.
"You must be i'll, Sandra. I shall
send for physician to talk with you.
No woman cries all the time for
nothing. Your eyes have been red
and swollen most of the time the
last three or four days. If you aren't
i'll, what are you crying for?"

In the second place. they con
tended that America is not at War
with the Bolsheviki and that
there is. therefore. no reason for
their fighting them. Third, that
the entire Bolsheviki question is
the subject of much political de-
bate and INDIGESTION in the United
States and that SO far as they are
concerned they are unable to see
why they should be fighting as
long as there is no war.
The soldiers have interpreted
the statement from WASHINGTON
