Weather OptImIsm

Everybody, said Mark Twain, COM
plains OF the weather, but nobody ever
does anything about IT. It is the com
mon failing Of humanity thoughtlessly
to consider its personal comfort first,
In disregard Of the benefits which may
result from a warm spell which ripens
the crops, or rainy season which Oils
the natural reservoirs. or a cold snap
which is supposed to make away with
next seasons orchard and garden
pests. And there is also on the side OF
the occasional weather excess the tes-
timony Of DR. Ellsworth Huntington of
Yale that monotony Of temperature
and humidity are not good for civiliza-
ton, that man progresses most where
there is a variety Of climate.

Denmark Has Oldest Elan.

The flag Of Denmark, a plain red
banner, bearing on It a white Cross.
In the oldest flag now In existence.
For more than 500 years both Nor

Denmark under this flag. In the year
1912 King Waidemar OF Denmark,
when leading his troops to battle
against the Llvonians, saw. or thought
he saw, a bright light in the form Of

pearance to be n promise Of divine
aid and pressed forward to victory.
From this time ne had the cross
placed on the flag OF his country and
called It the Dnnnebrog-tha Is. the
strength OF Denmark.

Ruth ushered him in and he looked
around appreciatively, eager eyes on
the soft colorings, the artistic placing
of the few things in the big high cell e
inged room.
"Do you like our place?'
"Do I? Why it's great" he re-
turned, boyishly.
"I suppose you're interested in the
way this looks because of your own

you're awfully happy?"
Did Ruth fancy it, or was it true
that cloud passed suddenly across
Bob's face. He responded SO quickly
that she hardly knew which it was.
"Of course, I'm happy, and think
she is. OF course, we do things diff =
ferently out West from the way they
do here in New York, and she has a
lot to learn"
Ruth wondered again whether Bob
thought this himself or whether it was
IN echo of something his mother had
said. 1t sounded unlike Bob il
seemed a somewhat priggish remark for
man to make. Suddenly Ruth de
termined to pin him down.

And So They
We're Married
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELoR
copvrioht, 1919, BY Public LEDGER Co.

A FTER the exciting incidents relative
~ to Elsie's marriage, Ruth went to
thinking Of James with sense OF re
lief. James waywnrd untidiness
seemed childishly simple compared with
Elsies restless dipping into life.
That night after the climax in
Ruth's own apartment, when Gene
and Elsie and Joe had had it out to-
gether, Ruth had asked Scott to hunt
Gene up after dinner that evening
When Scott had arrived at the dingy
studio where Gene worked, he had
tound it empty. 1t continued to be
empty in the days that followed. Gene
had apparently disappeared.
It was Betty Lambert who reported
this. She had known all about Gene S
affair with Elsie. but like wise
woman she had made no attempt to in
terfere; she had known that would be
M good Betty loved Gene; she had
always loved him. Gene had looked
upon her only as a good pal, com
rade; he had known Betty so long
that she failed to interest him through
novelty. All he ever thought about
Betty was the fact that she was such
q good sort to be with.
Betty grew thin and haggard through
worry. Ruth was worried, too, and
she tried her best to keep Betty s
spirits up by being cheerful about
,verything.
Betty, you know. Gene is too SEN
sble to do anything foolish, she
Would argue.
"How do you know he is?' Betty
would return. You have no idea how
much he cared"
"Oh, yes ! have; saw him when
Elsie told him she did not love him
enough" This would comfort Betty
vaguely. She wanted to hope that
Gene was all right. That he had sim
ply buried himself because he did not
want to Sc, people until he had pulled
himself together somewhat.
This disappearance of Genes cast
an unmistakable cloud over both Ruth
and Scott they were able to think OF
nothing else. 1t was the first thing
that Ruth asked Scott when he came
in the evening, whether anything had
been heard from Gene, and it was al
ways mo"
One morning, about 10 o'clock, the
bell rang sharply three times. 1t was
