 Then, at sight of Jim I stopped and braced myself against the rush of my own feelings. He had tumb1ed down among the cushions of the couch like a tired child. And he lay snuggled into close heap, warming his knees against the cold by folding them al most up to his chin I got a cover and put it over him. Then, because I couldn't keep the tears from my eyes, I folded my lips tighter than ever; my own tender, traitor emotions must not betray me- =

 Not today, Ma'am. Against the rules. Be back tomorrow. Better have the cash .then-cause we only make two stops like this,' said the boy, his wizened youns face wrinkling into a Worldlywise grin.

ADVICE TO

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

There are a lot of folks in the world who go around seeking whom they may improve. But it doesn't often occur to them that this habit ing.
 Most of us are too prone to yield 10 the sway of the honeyed tongue We like tiattery. And we encour- age lnslncerity. But there is a wide chasm between the unctuous bowine, and scraping of prom1scuous approv- al and the gadny effect of constant correction.
 Recently a girl came to me and said, with tears in her eyes, that things had arrived at such a state between her and her immediate chief that she would have to leave her 1op and seek some less congenial business environment rather than put 11D with his petty tyrannieS

 Hancock, I'm sure you would have been a bit more careful about rush ing in so noisily if you'd known I had a visitor"
 whereupon Hancock blushed and departed feeling put in his place corrected before a stranger. Three times during an hour, MT. Richard Jordan managed to show his super iority by giving bit Of unasked and office.
 "A boorish lot you have around here" ventured suddenly.
 NO indeed! They're the finest just this side of hotly.
 Indeed ?" I asked innocentIy. Then I added: "But there's girl here-Mabel Chase. Dull sort, sfe is-isn't she? And very annoying ?''
 Splendid girl" cried Dick
 And then because I've known inc boy all my life, I sat back and in dulged in long, unrestrained laugh

 "Why-Fm only trying to hel, them-to get them to be their bes. and finest selves" sighed Dick. ..I thought they appreciated my view point''

 But Betty didn't answer her pri- vate phone. And when I called her on the apartment house telephone | they could tell me nothing more than that Mrs. Bryce had-s-left very early that morning in taxi, that she had | carried a suitcase with her, but had left no forwarding address. This dis turbed me vaguely-the night before I sensed even more vaguely that Betty had a definite and secret purpose in coming back to town so far ahead of schedule, and now I began to wonder if she could have confided in me had I been less absorbed in my own af- fairs. I had no idea whether Vir- | ginia and Terry knew of Betty's re- turn to town-yet I felt that in loyalty to her I couldn't question them about her.
 So I filled-in the day with routine matters, writing to Father Andrew and Neal, washing and ironing my only uniform and then dressing and going to the Canteen to repdrt with the 2:30 Unit.
