CHAPTER COCK

CHAPTER COCK
To take on myself the responsible
ity for Daisy's gravely responsible
position with Tom. Mason was
one thing. To face the actual fact
that / had sponsored a girl whom
felt. to be a thief and had endangered
the possessions of Jim's friend was
another.
This came to me with growing
force all through the morning after
Daisy had gone to take charge of
Toms antique shop. Ny warrant
of Daisy's honesty was dishonest.
l was playing fairy -godmother at
Toms expense. The ethics of what
l had done seemed questionable to
me as 1 thought it all over.
One thing was clear, however. If
I had to do it over I'd have to do
the same thing.
put in a miserable morning
and started off in a pretty unhappy
mind after lunch to call for Uncle
Ned and Aunt Mollie. Driving the
car wasn't a pleasant process, but
for their sakes l felt / must do it.
In a traffic block as my car stood
still waiting for a side street to
empty itself across the avenue, my
attention was attracted from idle
staring to half-awakened but eager
interest. On the curb, waiting like
me, stood a girl dressed in black,
unnoticeable but for the uneasy
way she was watching me out of the
corner of her eye and trying to hide
something or someone from my
notice. Naturally, as soon as 1 be-
came aware of that 1 fucused my
attention on the girl and tried to
place her.
In a moment or two 1 realized
that the girl who was watching me
so uneasily and trying to pretend
that she wasn't watching me at all

Life'S S Problems
Are Discussed
BY Mrs. Wilson Woodrow

Good morning!
Where could you find a better
salutation In it's unabridged form
it is, Il wish you a good morning"
and every one who utters it is tacitly
saying:
Here is a brand new morning.
1t is the only one of its kind. In
all the history of the world there
never has been one quite like it,
and it can never be duplicated 1t
is entirely your own; you possess
it outright until noon, and then it
will spread its wings and fly from
you forever. But while you have
1t. l hope that you will enjoy it,
and that you will regret its de-
parture."
Obviously, the tone in which this
wish is conveyed should match the
f.latiment. 1t also needs an ac-
companying smile. But the smile
is frequently omitted, and the voice
is rarely in harmony with Tie
, words.
There are fifty-seven different
ways of saying it. Sometimes {
is growled. sometimes it is barked,
or snapped, or sighed, or moaned,
or snarled-all of which is unjus-
tifiable. 1t is the putting of beau
tiful thing to base uses.
The favorite method is to say it
in curt, unpleasant way which
implies: II don't care what kind of
an old morning you have. 1 am
rather hoping that it will be dis
agreeable. I haven't much use for
you anyway, and I'll shed no tears
II you get what's coming to you"
One woman I can think of al
ways says Good morning" in such
a despairing, hopeless way that it
is enough to darken the day and
shut out the combined light of the
sun, moon and stars. ! don't know
whether she has a bad conscience
or Indigestion or whether she is
simply letting a crouch get the
upper hand of her. But under any
circumstances she he's no right to
impose her gloom on others.
If they have had something to
make them happy there is no rea-
son for her to cast a cloud over
their sunshine and if they have
something to bother them, there is
no reason why she should deepen
and increase their troubles.
And there is no excuse for her
crepe-draped voice. She has had
more than the average share of
good fortune, and no more worries
than fall to the common lot. But
she has let what was in the first
place a mild, baby crouch grow TO
such proportions that it completely
masters her. She has gotten into
the habit of fussing over every
trifle; she is dissatisfied with
everything and envious of others
who enjoy themselves.
She is on the wrong side of the
sun and sees only darkness. She
has turned the whole fabric of her
existence inside out and is wear
ing its seams outward, which is an
unseemly thing to do. A bad pun.
but let it stand.
No matter how beautiful the
material of q garment is. it's moth
ing to look at il it's made with
raw seams, and people would nat
urally regard it with disapprovai.
Many persons are fond of pets.
Some like cats, some dogs. others
prefer goldfish or. canaries, and
sti'l others chose "grouches."
These fail to understand that
one tenderly cherished crouch is
a. much more dangerous com
panion than a lion or tiger cub
for like the cub 1t will inevitably
reach to turn and bite them. and
they will find that instead Of being

SHALL SHE VISIT HIM.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
There has been a dear friendship
between a certain young man and
myself for several years. He is
stopping at a hotel in a summer re-
sort and has invited me to come
either with friends or my mother,
or alone, if l wish. 1 claim it is
perfectly proper for me to go to see
this young man. If 1 happen to be
at that restort, and yet my girl
friend seems to think that it is high
ly Improper. What do you think =?
| don't think it would be fair to de-
mand that this young man call for
me, as my home is far away; also,
If I am accompanied by some one.
do you think l ought to insist upon
his taking me home? 1t is about
two hours ride from my home to
the place where he is stopping.
ANXIOUS
1t will be proper for you to dine
with the young man at his hotel If
your mother or some older woman
goes with you. And it will not be
necessary for him to "see you home"
if 1t Is two hours ride by train.
Don't think of going alone with an
other girl. While 1 realize it would

Soldier Fails to Make Known His
Return
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Since childhood / have known
a boy three years older than l am.
He was among those who went to
fight for our country. All the time
he was away we corresponded. In
fact, his letters were written 20
make me understand he really cared
for me. Now, through a girl friend
heard that he has been home for
two weeks. Should l bother about
meeting him, as he has never let
me know that he was home?
Though 1 love him dearly, l have
never showed him that l cared. If
l made any attempt to meet him.
would he think 1 was running after
him? A READER.
A great many girls have written
to me about similar experiences
with young soldiers. And one can
only judge, while in France, they
probably forgot their American
sweethearts. do not think would
go out of my way TO meet this
young man, as 1t is up to him to let
you know of his return. If you hap
pen to meet him, however. l should
act cordially.

Allies to Establish MandatOries Over Its Former Territory Terms
 Are Now Ready.

Paris, May 1S.-The peace confer ence,, while waiting for Germany to decide on her attitude toward the peace terms, rapidly is completing the treaties for Germany's former allies and is smoothing out the differences between the allied and associated pow CTS.
 Germany's 15 days in which to make written appeals on the peace conditions will expire Thursday.
 Three days have gone by since the last German notes to the peace con- ference The subcommittees of the conference are at work on the an swers and 1t is probable they will be sent to Versailles Thursday.
 Peace terms for Austria are nearing completion, it is indicated. and the Austrians will present their creden- tials to representatives of the. allied and associated powers Monday after noon. It is reported that Austria will be called upon to pay reparauons to the amount of 5,e0o,0OO,0OO marks, or one-twentieth of the amount demand ed from Germany.
 U. s. Mandatory for Armenia.
 The Council of Four has agreed on most of the mandates for the former Turkish empire and it is said that the United States. has been offered Armenia and Constantinople, with Great Britain getting Mesopotamia and Palestine, France being the man. datory for Syria and Cilicia, Italy for Adalia and Greece for Smyrna. The sultan of Turkey would be given ter ritory in Central Asia Minor with a capital probably at Brusa. Greek and Italian claims to tie Dodocanese islands off Asia Minor have been adjusted ty Italy agreeing to retire in favor of Greece. The is- lands, which are populated by Greeks were occupied by Italy during the war with Turkey over Tripoli.
 Allied naval forces were landed at Smyrna Wednesday, it developed, in adyices received from the Near East where military moves are being made in anticipation of the making of peace with Turkey.
 All the forts and strategic points at Smyrna were taken possession of by nightfall.
 The movement was directed by the peace conference as a precautionary ! measure for the maintenance of order. according to the terms of the Turkish armistice, The British and French forces will be withdrawn as soon as the authority of Greece as manda- tory is established firmly. The occupation of Smyrna is prelim-
