Haze Quarters In VleW Here
For The International Club

The first step along the lines of a
girls community house or a Y. w. C..
A. Is being taken now under the insti-
cation Of the international Institute.
An eight room house at the corner of
tombstone and Barclay street is now
In view. This house IL o~btainable will
probably be known as the Interna-
tional Club and the International In
stitute will have It's quarters there.
In this club house classes, among
the foreign born women and the
daughters of foreign born parents
where they may pursue their individ-
ual studies will be organized and
taught by regular teachers and wo-
men who will volunteer their services.
This is a big boom to this city. The
officials and leading men are being
made to realize hat the young girls
and women must have places to con-
gregate just as well as the men. The
international workers are starting on.

gressive city "a greater Perth Amboy"
must carry on. A building should be
started in another section Of the city

| Wallis and Mrs. Kymbal? She be-
friended him when he needed help
desperately. And he probably con-
fused his gratitude with love. Per-
haps gratitude is love, of a sort.
But where there is no more than
gratitude and pity left, is marriage
right?
h believes he loves her. There are
people like that-who can believe
what they want to believe. After all.
Joan, perhaps her love for him is
enough for two. Perhaps she car
bring back the feeling he frankly ad-
mfts he had for her when he was Ill
at her home in England during the
war If not, perhaps she can
be satisfied with less than love.
But can he? These dreadful
problems are so individual. Eric's
temperament is not of the phleg-
matte, easily-satisfed sort. Would
he not just have to turn against her
il he married her under such condi-
tons? And would he be able to dis
guise his feelings and not treat her
] cruelty? oh. Joan, help me to un-
do what I have done-if I have done
/ wrong-before it is too late?
I guess what 1 need is for a sense
of humor- to come to my rescue!
Their affair may not be as serious as
1 think. And perhaps they had best
fight it out themselves. At any rate,
it is rather comic my faring forth to
find a husband and ending up by
marrying off the only likely man to
another woman! Lots of folks will
say. SERVES her right. She should
wait for fate to come to her."
Write quick, Joan, and cheer me
up.

But, Joan. he looked like a man

And do you remember how, fol-

insisted? And Mollie Virgins ended
her perplexities in the lake?
I've been thinking all night Of her.
Wouldn't it have been better to have
sent her away somewhere and help
I'D her to a fresh start? She was a
nice little thing, helpful and full Of
intelligence. But she had no mother

and she was eager and wistful-and

"If adding to the beauty Of the
world is the chief duty Of woman,
Katherine Miller is certainly doing
her SHARE" said myself to myself as
I loitered down the stairs and out OF
the door. "And you must admit,
Jane Lorimer, hat it's bad enough
to have a husband who doesn't rec
ognize you, and hard enough to be
compelled to win his love q second
time, without having to win him
away from-that!"
So I concluded as I faced the ten
mis- court and saw the lovely Kathe-
rine bound toward the net. Her long
reach was q failure but her gesture
and her pose were superb.
l knew that Bob wouldn't miss q
line of the grace of her beautiful
body. Bob, with his artistic temper
ament, would approve Miss Miller as
fine art IL not as a tennis player. My
poor heart was as heavy as lead.
Never can / compete with h
charms and the wiles of that girl"
I reflected and from that reflection L
arrived at q bit of feminine wisdom:
I'm a love triangle do not compete
in ways where you know that o
haven't q chance! Be Different"
1 suppose there are ten thousand
ways to win a husband. but they can
be grouped in two classes-1-the
girl pursues the man or-2-she Is
pursued.
It's no use for a modern girl to
pretend that she isn't sophisticated
in all branches of the science of &C
curing q husband.
What she has e. learned is how
to keep him!
1 felt that I was qualified to have
an opinion on he subject cat l
hadn't been able to keep my W
man.
MOT even shell shock would have
destroyed Bob's memory Of me had
he been perfectly satisfied with me
his wifel"
The old hurt revived, the old re-
frain popped out of some recess of
my brain. I had to put the wretched
thought back in its place and shut 1t
away before 1 could return to any
profitable meditation on the two
methods of getting a husband.
Reversing my original thought 1t
ran thus:
Would a man rather pursue his
bride or be pursued by herr
The question was cas- to answer
The man to whom love is only a
game likes to be followed. He Is on
the alert to catch the alluring flash
of bright eyes and the inviting twist
of a white shoulder, he is ready prey
for the vampire type of girl, but he
isn't very valuable when he is
caught!
The worthwhile man, the one
makes q loyal and devoted hus-
band, is descended from the v
man. OF course he doesn't knock his
bride down with a club-but he pur-
sues her. He doesn't care for the
smile which he doesn't seek:
And any girl who deliberately
throws herself at his head-throws
herself away!

Pleasing Program
for Mission Society

The Woman's Missionary Society OF
the Danish NJ. e. church held its regu-
lar meeting Monday in the chapel
Following the routine business a
pleasant program was presented by
the members and their guests.
The numbers included a violin duet
by Malcolm and Stanley Hyldahl ac-
companied by Miss Helen Jensen and
vocal solos by Waldemar Petersen.
Mr.. Juhl. of the Salvation Army gave
an interesting talk describing his trav-
els and experiences in the foreign
missionary fields in India, China and
Africa. Re. Mr.. Ole Nielsen gave the
closing prayer.

and bodices and in voluminous over
draperies. These latter will very often
be caught up with loops and stream
ers CT ribbon or festooned with flow
ers. shepherdess fashion.
That metal cloths will be much
used for evening wear Is clear. There
are a host of new cloths, too, of this
class, beautifully patterned and in in
sinuating colors, and. also, sufficiently
pliable to drape gracefully, which
some Of the earlier ones were not.
In the way of colors for evening
frocks, red is the most interesting
because it has lost the garishness
and aggressiveness that once relegated
it to the plan of the ordinary. Be-
gonia, Pinard, which is a wine shade,
and the whole range Of vivid reds are
on the lists.

"Oh la! la! Since Miss Miller is go-
ing to pursue Bob, I'll run away from
himI AT least 1 will today!' / said
to myself.
Acting on the impulse, I sauntered
along the edge of the tennis court
feigning indifference to the game.
The sight Of me made Katherine
Miller play right into my hand. She
sent a wild ball in my direction. II
fell at my feet and l picked it up and
tossed it to my husband.
Instead of returning it to his p
ponent, Bob came toward me. And
my poor silly heart was lead no long
err. It was a hammer which pounded
all my blood into my face.
