the baby's' age. But l had thought
Of it until l not only had a longing
for social prestige, but for its SYM

That l was sending Neil to another
woman, who for his sake would "be
nice" to anyone he chose to take to
her home, I had no idea; that he had

bit of jealousy because of her. Only
once, at her dinner, had l felt the
least recurrence of the emotion
which before my boy was born had
commenced to make me trifle I'M

what might have grown into unhap-

But this feeling had lain dormant for
months, and l had been so happy

Agricultural School
SeeksBuildingFun

| A determined campaign in behalf
of the Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical school is being waged by
Principal j. NJ. Collum and the board
of trustees among the members of the
1919 legislature and other officials, it
having been decided to ask the legis-
lature for $4,000 with which to COM
plete the new academic building on
the campus, replacing the main build
ing which was burned in 1916, and
which will double the capacity and
facilities of the school.
Numerous letters and reports, lead
ing the way for the request, have been
sent out by Mr.. Collum, but new and
more compelling piece of printed mat
ter has just been sent out by him in
the form of a report on the school COM
posed entirely of Photographic illus
trations, with the brifest underlines of
explanation and Identification for each.
1t is small booklet, nicely printed
and neatly put together. 1t start with
map of the campus and of the coun-
ties embraced in the district then
follows series of pictures of the va
rious buildings on the grounds, with
statements of their cost and time of
erection showing the disposition of all
the money ever put into the school.
The trustees feel that the money will
be forthcoming if the legislature can
be sufficiently impressed with the i'm
portance of the school and it's great
present need. The school is asking the
$4,000 in addition to the regular an
nual appropriation of $4,000 for main
tenance

could make me unhappy again.

could make me unhappy again.
/ Then too Neil's attitude, his loving
care, had caused me to forget all that
had gone before. Women are like
that; they so EARLY forget things
the man whom they love does to
make them unhappy, and cling SO
desperately to other things.
A man, after he is married, will
not cherish a glove or a rose given
him in the sentimental days OF
courtship, while a grandmother will
spend time gloating over the cons
tents of an old trunk wherein she,
years before, has laid away the first
/ flower he ever gave her, the first in
vitation, and his love-letters. He
shas the relaity; why bother? She
kalso has the reality, yet she clings
to, and thinks tenderly of, the days
when they first met and loved, and
so holds on to the symbols of those
days.
So l sherished the loving things
Neil had done and said. And l for
got the short space of anxious, wor-
ried days and nights when l had
wondered if he cared for Blanche
Orton; and if his business methods
were strictly all right (The word
honest" or dishonest" / never
spoke in connection with Neil-not
even in my thoughts)
AS I have said, Neil had com
menced to remain out evenings
again. Now that baby was older he
went to sleep early, and l was often
lonely. Once when l said:
Neil, why do you stay out to din
ner so often? Even if you have to
go out afterward, 1 wish you would
come home and have dinner with me.
1t makes the evening so long when
you do not
you object when l bring home the
men whom l have to see," he hao re-
piled shortly.
What if l do? You can meet
them after dinner, can't you? Sure
ly you aren't always expected to
dine with them?"
They expect attention-it's part
of the game. l want their money.
And it strikes me you aren't at all
averse to spending all you can get.
But you don't want to do anything
to help me get it."
That's not SOL I am willing to
do all l can in reason. If you would
tell me more of your business af-
fairs, I might perhaps be better able
to judge of what was necessary. But
l know enough to know that it is not
necessary for me to sit at table with
the sort of men you sometimes bring
home"
