Please Tell Me
What TO Do
Shall She Invite AIma
BY CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia-There is young man
working in the same Office as I am.
He holds a higher position than I do.
but is always very pleasant to me.
Now I am going to give a party. and
l would like to know IL It would be too
forward of me to ask him to come. I
have been to parties and different things
where he has been. BROWN EYES.
There seems to be no reason why YOU
should not ask this young man. since
you seem to go with the same people he
does.

You. like to have your. own way,
don't your" she said lightly.
They walked along the stone. fags
Of the terrace to the far end, and then
Laurel, with a faint misgiving, said
quickly: "Apd now i must go In; they
will be wondering what has become OF
me-" She was conscious of the fact that
they were good way from the house
and very much alone. A faint mist was
rising in the garden, and the moon
shone through with a hollow look that
was very lonely. Laurel shivered.
He turned toward her suddenly and
without a word took her in his arms:
At first she was so shocked that she did
not struggle. She was conscious OF
the fact that he held her in that steel
like grip against him and that he was
turning her face up to his relentlessly.
"Dick, Dick ." she gasped; Are you
mad? You must be mad to do anything
like tbis!" She tried to struggle, but
1t was impossible, he held her too close
ly, and she remembered saying with a
little sob: Don't kiss me- as his
lips touched hers.
There was a delirious moment when
he held her against him, kissing her
again ard again. He tore the mask
from her face and kissed her eyes, and
he touched his lips to her throat:
Finally he released her and she adjusted
the mask with trembling fingers and
said icily, "Shall' we go back?'
Her heart was leaping madly and she
could not trust herself to speak, so sure
was she that she would break down
and sob. She felt soiled, degraded and
underneath furiously angry. How dared
this boy treat her as he had How dared
he? She was hardly conscious that he
was walking by her side and when they
came to the stretch Of lawn between
the terrace and the veranda she broke
away from him and fled across it. The
next minute she found herself outside
the same window they had come out OF
lust a short time before. She slipped
into the little room and hurriedly ad-
justed her mask before mirror there.
Somewhere a clock struck IL and she
heard her name called. She glanced
down at her silver shoes and then went
irto the ball room.
"Time to unmask,' some one called.
"Time TO unmask Where is Laurel?'
Laurel was conscious Of but one
thing, the Folly who but few min
utes ago had held her in his arms was
standing in the center of the group.
He had come in a different way.
"Here am" she shouted suddenly
tearing off her mask And then she
stared dowr the room straight into the
eyes Of Folly himself. He had swept
off his hat aud mask with flourish and
was looking straight back at her. lie

who had wanted very much to stop the
runaway and couldn't because they
didn't know how felt rather silly.
They needn't have felt silly. They
did what they thought Of and they were
not towards, any Of them. but they just
didn't have the gift of thinking Of the
right thing to do at the right time.
Because they didn't think Of Il they got
excited and nervous, and they hailed the
man who did think of it as hero. But
he wasn't excited. As soon as he saw
that team he realized the possibilities of
stopping 1t. He realized the advantage
of thought over action in an emergency.
TT IS great gift. So few of us stop
l. to think what is the best thing to do
when something unusual happens sud
denly. We think we must act imme-
diately, and so we get busy. We start
one useless thing because it pops into
our heads, but in the midst of doing 1t
we think Of something better. BY the
time our thoughts and our actions
have begun to work together the fire

Home for Aged Woman
,r OF Womdn's Pooc:

To the Editor OF Womdn3 Po0c:
Dear Madam-Can you give me the
address of a home for aged women
My husband and I are both strangers
here. We have an aged mother whom
we would like to place in good home.
She is eighty eight and longs for quiet.
We are willing to pay for her board,
but have been told they require about
$500 for admittance, then keep them
the rest Of their lives. MRS. N. s.
There are number of good homes
in this city. You will find a list of
them in the business directory of the
telephone book. The various churches
have homes and no doubt your mother
would want to go to home that is
kept by her own church. The charges
for board vary, but you can find out
about them by calling up the various
places. OF course, it would be neces-
sary to call in person to make final ar
rangements, but the telephone will do
for the preliminaries.

The Pilgrims.

They sought, away from souiless power.
The rugged. rock-bound strand,
And found release from from kingly gr
That cursed their native land.
They cast afar the fertile seed
OF Freedoms spreading tree.
To shield the land from kingly might,
And bloom in years to be.
A brighter day for manhood's veal
In Plymouth's woods began:
The Pilgrims sought these solitudes
With faith in God and man.
To live and worship as they chose
Unscared by ezar or king.
And spoke In words OF living truth
That never ceased TO ring.
From noble thoughts OF rugged men
A mighty progress grew
As DER the Continental leagues
Went forth the message new.
Through forest deep, o'er prairies wide.
The shout OF freemen rang.
As from the seeds these pilgrims cast
A mighty nation sprans.
From Allegheny's singing groves
To Mississippi's stream,
And far beyond on mighty plains
The Pilgrims trappings CLEAN.
Till o'er the sierras serried back
The wearied legions pour
To rear the bulwarks OF our power
Along the western shore.
No tyrants banner long shall wave
Nor lordling long oppress
when freemen from our native shores
Go forth new homes to bless.
And lands beyond the salted seas
As freedoms truths unfold
Shall feel the impress OF the men
Who came TO Plymouth old.
who laid foundations on the rock
In dismal forest gloom,
And requiems sang on barren shore,
Ger many a lonely tomb.
But knew not that the coming years
Through all their dire distress
Would bring fruition TO their hopes
And countless peoples bless.
Old Oceans vastness cannot stay
The march Of freedoms SONS.
Nor feudal castles long Withstand
The might Of freedoms guns.
The mighty march OF progress may
No tyrant's hand withstand.
Though triumphing in war or peace
In many a distant land.
