Tommy Hears My Adventures and
 Puts Aside His Dream
 Until l can take the plaster off from my forehead, I'll have to stay in the hotel l suppose, so I shall not make heavy demands on you for few days, Tommy" So saying. I removed my veil and turban and pushed away the waves of my hair revealing the thin strip Of plaster which covered the wound near my temple
 You've been hurt? My dear-my dear little sister," Tommy stammered. Has Certeis-?" Almost I could hear Tommy's teeth grind I interrupted with:
 "Certeis had nothing to do with this Tommy l laid a quieting finger on his arm and then I told him of my ex- ploit as a strikebreaker. But before had come 10 the grand finale, my res cue by Bob Tommy broke in:
 You sure do need man around to take care of you, Rosie. I never seen a girl get into such risky places. Seems as if you aint happy unless you're in trouble Maybe you'd better keep me informed of what you're up to 1 from now on so I can stick around."
 Why not advise me to keep out of l trouble Friend Brother?"
 Because it wouldn't do no good 1 You'll always he up to some caper- and always needing a man" 1 laughed. 1 tried to make it care
 less laugh and yet Tommy's remark had hit the weak spot in my character 1 He had not meant to score, neverthe- less, his little speech proved that he understood me better than any other man had ever done.
 i certainly possessed an eXtraardin- | ary capacity for swimming beyond my depth in the sea of life and l was al-
 ways in need of a strong man to grat
 me by the hair and tow me to safety

made supposed allusion, the only one, to those in this country who entertain certain views opposed to those of himself He said T afraid people some persons do not understand that vision They do not see it; they look much the ground They have thought too much of the interests that were and they have not listened to the voices of their neghbors." The vision of which the president spoke was the readjustment, encouragement, recon structon of the world in which he had lately par tcipated
 The kind of a vision the president saw is some thing which broadly from vast dis Nothing however large is thus brought out in clear outline lacking in detail. Details must be picked by of greater application at closer range The man who sees visions commonly call a visionary
 The remark of the president raises question whether it is better to walk with head erect-n the clouds gazing only into miss and at cloud shapes, or to walk with eyes cast upon the ground. Neither walker an admirable guide but the latter is safer to follow he sees at least the ground: watches his step He may not see far ahead but he sees muc~ as the walker with his head in the clouds.
 There is general and we believe increasing impression that what need in this country not men who see far indistinctly and uncertainty and mistily who clearly what is around them.
 Whatever MT. Wilson may have at Paris Lloyd George, Clemenceau Orlando and the Japanese representative all saw something else. And it not to them vision but something real and substantial MT. Wilson may thought his task the re- construction of world, but the delegates from Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan only after terals for extensions their respective countries Whatever left over in the of waste lumber which they did want could not use, placed at the disposal Wilson for his self entertain ment in world reconstruction.

was grateful enough to Tommy for recognizing all this-and still I was sensitive enough to feel that although he hadn't intended it, his words were a pretty fair criticism of me.
 In my own experience I had lived through such romance as most girls only dream about.
 And all I had reaped was-grief!
 The simple monotonous road of duty had brought to scores of young married women a kind of happiness which all my adventures failed to reveal.
 My conscience rebuked me doubly when I studied Tommy. It occurred to me that Tommy might be in love with me. l didn't want such notion to spoil our nice friendship.
 Very nervously l went on with the story of the attack on me made by the strikers:
 And then a miracle happend. Tommy, The man who picked me up and carried me to his auto was-my very own husband. Now isn't that perfectly wonderful?"
 But my enthusiasm failed to arouse 1 Tommy Instead a chill seemed to descend upon him-and it spread-and enveloped me At the mention of Bob. Tommy stopped smoothing down the fur trimming on the collar of my coat which he was holding. He laid the garment over chair. and. rose and walked to the window And he ceased to call me Rosie from that minute. 1 What he did was simple enough. but the action seemed to me like a little | ceremony of renunciation, like gest- ure in a Greek drama. It said what | Tommy had many a time put into words-that he was haunted by the fear of losing his little sister, and that | in the end, he himself would be the one lest soul in the whole adventure.
