thought so gorgeous, when secona
intruder burst into my apartment

She was all eagnerness, as she had

In the midst of my nervous cogita-

Rid of it?' said Jim in a puzzled
tone that might have angered me if
I'd stopped to let it. "Why did you

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER

He was standing in front of her
and held out his arms to her. She
went to him and laid her head on
his shoulder, and he gathered her
to his breast. So sure was she of
his love that she knew he felt for
her a depth of affection such as he
never felt for Mildred.
The next day was Sunday and
Mildred, returning from a drive
whit her ffance, rushed to her sis
ter's room to inform her that Har-
old was going to Canada in ten days
and wanted her to go with him,
1T is all very sudden, you see,"
the girl said. But his leg is much
better and getting we'll quickly, and
he may have to go to France again
soon"
An Explanation
Then she hurried on to explain
that they were to be married be-
fore his departure.
Honora listened as il stunned.
She realized as never before how
little she counted in Mildred's life.
Suddenly the younger girl seemed
conscious of this thought
You know, of course, Honora,
dear, that 1 shall miss you" she
said. But when Harold sails

way, won't you? You are not losing
all you love, now really"
Honora smiled. II am not losing
all 1 love, dear. For 1 love you
and, Milly, 1 am engaged to Ar
thur"
"Good!" Mildred kissed her
quickly. "I do hope you will be
happy. Do you know" with gig
gle, what that naughty Harold said
when he proposed that we get mar
ried at once? He said that unless
he had me tied fast to him by
Church and State he would be
afraid to leave me. Wasn't that
funny? AS if I could ever care for
anybody but Harold"
When Arthur came that night
Honole told him the news. 80
you see you are all l really have,
dear" she said as he bent to kiss
her. 'I shall just be living for the
time when you'll come back" Then
she smiled tremulously. ITO keep
up my courage 1 shall have to say
often the words of the song:
when YOU come back-and you
will come back"
And, darling" he rejoined, TAX
ing her in his arms, you must
add-'The whole world will be wait
ing for you" For you are my
world"

LDe's Problems

(By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow,

my mrs. wilson Woodrow
You can't pitchfork a boy out of
the a. m. to p. m. routine of COM
merce into the a. m. to 9 D. m. rou-
tine of the army. keep him there for
months, sending him perhaps into the
roaring inferno of what was the west
front, and then by pitchforking him
pack again expect him to slide into
the old rut as If he had only been
away on vacation trip to some near

After the first few weeks of home
coming most of them will begin to
snow symptoms of temperament in
one form or another.
Here; for instance. is letter from
a discharged soldier which, in its
moody introspective tone, seems to
me to reflect the state of mind of
many of his comrades as they struE-
gle with one question or another in
adjusting themselves to the old en-
Vironment.

Advice to the Lovelorn
WISHES TO WARN OLD
SWEETHEART

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About a year ago l met a young
lady at dance and became engaged
but the engagement was broken.
now hear from reliable sources that
she is travelling around with a former
business associate of mine, man
without self-respect.
Now. Miss Fairfax, I loved that
girl dearly, in fact, still love her,
and for her own sake would like to
warn her of the present company she
is keeping, as it will undoubtedly end
in her ruin. Understand l do not
want to be a "knocker," or anything
of that sort, but for her own protec-
tion should like to warn her. If you
will suggest the honorable way, 1
shall appreciate it very much.
a. G. II.
If you are genuinely concerned
about the company your former
lancee is Keeping. you might talk to
her father, brother, or some man
relative. If the young lady is alone
in the world, you might have plain
talk with the man you distrust,
though, of course. this will take an
immense amount of courage.

A Real Remedy
For Falling Hair
Keeps Scalp Clean and Healthy
Prevents Dandruff

When your hair becomes faded, dry,
streaked and scraggy, when it falls
out badly and new hair cannot grow,
the roots should be Immediately vi
talized and properly nourished. To
do this quickly, safely and at little
eSpense. there is nothing so effectivs
as Partisan Sage (liquid form) which
you can get at Kennedy's Drug Store
and all good drug and toilet counters.
It's guaranteed to abolish dam
druff-stop scalp itch and falling hair
and promote a new growth or money
refunded. It's in great demand by
discriminating women because it
makes the hair so soft lustrous, easy
to arrange attractively and appear
much heavier than it really is.
A massage with Partisan sage is a
real delight-easy to use, not sticky
or greasy, and delicately perfumed-
an antiseptic liquid free from dan
gerous ingredients and guaranteed
not to color the hair or scalp. If you
want good-looking hair and plenty of
it by all means use Partisan saga

might not be able to tell me some
thing. which would serve to set me
on the road to at least a normal con-
tentment."
In this country at present I have
no doubt there are thousands of his
comrades. who, like this young sol
dier. are experiencing a feeling of
loneliness and discomfort. 1t could
hardly be otherwise. Even a flower
dragged up by the roots and trans
diately flourish when returned to its
original soil. Until the loan packs
in around it and its tentacles take
hold again. it will droop and wither.
None of these young men can pos
sibly be the same that they were
when they entered upon the great ad-
venture; and they all must have some
thing of that feeling of strangeness
and uncertainty in reverting to their
old interests and associations. This
Will vary according to the measure
of their personal adaptability.
Besides, it is the spring when we
all, discharged soldiers or not, feel
somewhat that way-a bit irked by
the daily task or duty. bit on edge,
a bit suspicious that the times are out
of joint and that all is not right with
the world, bit inclined to believe
that we are mot like other girls,
and that those fine, true, sensitive
natures of ours are strangely misun-
derstOod.
So my correspondent in diagnos-
ing his case, wants to discount both
these disturbing factors. AS for his
bad habit of obviously analyzing peo-
pie while talking to them that is only
another manifestation of the cynical
turn of mind to which he used to give
expression in sarcastic comment If
he could conquer it in one instance,
he certainly ought to be able to in
another.
Or, if he must analyze, let him
train himself to look only for the
good points of his acquaintances,
rather than those which are repel-
liant or ridiculous. No one will be
offended at seeing his face light up
with appreciation and pleasure as he
talks to them.
And. as 1 say, we all have an at
tack of doldrums now and then, espe-
cially in the spring-an idea that
life to us is a little shy of interest
The best cure that 1 know is to pitch
in and do something with all your
might.
This world is so constituted that
there is hardly anything we can do
alone. Other people are always
brought in at some stage or another.
And it is out of the mut-ul interests,
mutual associations and mutual aims
OF a common task that friendships
are formed.

Sugar Famine in
Germany Perplexing
to the Housewife
By A1cMdnus

Berlin, May 6.-The sugar famine
from which Germany is now suffer-
ing is a mystery perpleXing Ger
man housewives, as sugar, owing to
the beetroot industry, has been a COM
mon staple even during the war.
Because of the sugar shortage. the
nations supply of marmalade seems
to be completely exhausted.
Political and industrial disturbances
are blamed for the restricted output
of beet sugar. The factories have
been shut down altogether or are
running on short hours.
Large quantities of sugar are said
to have disappeared mysteriously or
to have been confiscated by local SOL
diers and workmens councils.

HAS INTRODUCED HER AS HIS
WIFE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am attending a business college
whore there are a number of young
men, one of whom have become
greatly attached to. While he has
never proposed to me, he has intro
duced me as his wife. DO you think
he loves me, and is it proper for me
to keep up the friendship? | am
greatly in love with him so please
give me your advice. SYLVIA.
1t is very imprudent to say the
least, to permit any one to introduce
you as his wife, and may result in all
sorts of embarrassing complications
later. AS the young man has never
told you that he cares about you, it
would seem that you have very little
to justify you in any hope of eventu-
ally marrying him.

ONLY SEVENTEEN

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am seventeen and have become
acquainted with a young man five
years older He has taken me out to
a party, to the theater, and has been
to my home several times, on which
occasions he brought his chum for
my dearest girl friend. This nv
mother knows all about and does not
object to, which surprised me, as she
is very strict
Recently my friend discovered that
was only seventeen, and he con-
fessed he regarded me as at least
nineteen. Since he has found out |
am only seventeen he has neither
written nor communicated with me-
| wish to continue our friendship. as
this young man is very refined, and
also good company. but I fear IL
phoned or wrote him il would seem
too forward on my part A. L.
Surely the crime of being only sew
enteen is very easily forgiven, and
as your mother seems to have no OBJ
lection to the acquaintance, why not
invite him and the two other young
people to your house some evening.
