air. There was little, very little, left
in life for him to live for.
1t was only desultory attempts at
working that Sam made during the
morning. He was too blue to do any
good work, anyhow, so shortly before
the noon hour he left his office to
make a trip thru the various depart
ments. He felt as tho it would take
his mind off his trouble to talk with
other people.
Thru the bargain basement and
silks and gloves on the first floor to
mems furnishings and cloaks and suits
on the second floor Sam made his
gloomy way And then, in cloaks and
suits. he stopped suddenly. From the
other side of a rack Of cloaks and
suits beside which he was standing
came the sound of voices. One of the
voices was that of the manager of the
department, while the other voice was
I-Mary's.
Sam, after a moment OF hesitation,
Strengthened his shoulders. He might
as well get the cold nod from Mary
and get it over with now as later. 1t
had to be done some time-now was
as good as any. So Sam, looking very
dignified, but inwardly writhing with
despair. walked around the rack and
came face to face with Mary.
Mary didn't see him at first.
Good morning. Mary" he said, po-
litely, standing risidly like soldier
at salute.
Mary looked up surprised. Her big
blue eyes met his. And then-tnen
Sans heart leaped, his pulses tiugled,
his brain whirled. Mary was actually
smiling at him-a lovely, unu:istak-
able smile.
Pow are you. Sam" she asked.
and smiled again.
"S-s-say. Mary" stammered Sam,
as soon as he was able to regain con-
of n int f,ff a
minute. will you? It's right on this
floor, just little way from here. I've
got something I want to show you"
"Why. yes" smiled Mary. I've
often thought I'd like to look at your
office-to see just what sort of place
it is you work in
Sam hardly able to contain him
self, piloted her thru the door. past
his secretary and into his private Of
flee. Then. after closing the door to
his secretary's room, he drew the en-
gagement ring from his pocket and
without a word placed 1t on Mary's
finger. Finally he caught Mary into
his arms and kissed her again and
again.

all that-but I'm noti I'm glad. glad!
I've cared for you so long. Sam. and

"Oh, sweetheart" cried Sam, I'm
so glad you smiled at me this morn

He caught her to his arms again
and as he did SO he glanced at the
outgoing mail tray on his desk. The
tray was full. Sam, gently releasing
Mary, hurriedly paved thru the let
tiers. All three of his ads. to Mary
were still there. The new mail boy
had neglected to take up the mail
from Sans office for nearly q week.
Sam gasped. then chnckled as he>took
Mary into his arms again. After all.

Dorothy Dix Talks
III DOROTHY DIX .-
WORLDS Highest Paid Woman Writer.
How Men Propose

HO" 1MClk ErOpOSC~%.
The bashful man explodes his pro-
posal under your nose as If it were a
hand grenade he had cast at you. He
doesn't lead up to the point gradually,
and artfully. He fires the question at
you as If he was hurting it out of a
catapult. This is not ! scause he is
lacking in sentiment but simply be-
cause he is scared to death.
He has spent weeks, perhaps years
in screwing his courage up to the
sticking point, and he realizes that it
is now or never. If he funks at the
moment, he is gone forever. He will
never pop the question.
The business mans proposal is like
a health certificate, or an insurance
policy. The minute a business man
gets interested in a woman he begins
to look out about what she eats, and
whether she wears warm enough
clothes.
Then some Sunday he comes around
partments. or bungalows. and after
calling her attention to the fact that
the plumbing is exposed and the gas
range goes with the kitchen he says:
What do you say to coming out here
and being my little housekeeper?"
The conceited man proposes as If
he was handing a woman a prize
package. He tells her what sacrifice
he is making in marrying at all, and
that people think that he is going to
marry Miss Millionbucks, and then
he puts her wise to the fact that he
shall expect kib wife to be a composite
of Hetty Green, and Lillian Russell,
and Mary Jane, and he winds up by
bestowing a partronizing kiss upon
her, and looking as if he hoped that
she appreciated her luck.
The widower proposes like an obitu-
airy column that is full of laudatory
tributes to. the late deceased. He in
variably begins his wooing by telling
woman that she reminds him so
much of his dear departed Mary Ann,
and he never knows that the reason
the woman he is proposing to grits her
teeth SO strangely, is because there is
no other woman, alive or dead, that
she wouldn't rather look like than the
first wife of her future husband.
OF the proposals by letter nothing is
to be said in extenuation, except that
1t is valuable evidence in a breach of
promise case. The man who pops
the question to a woman with his
mouth a thousand miles off is no lover.
He Is nothing but a Stacker in love.
So says the woman, who says she
knows.

Senator Falls committee which Is
operating along the Texas border does
not appear to be eliciting any infor-
nation regarding the Mexican situa-
ton not already known to the public.
The fact is, Mexico either has a stable,
orderly government or she has not. If
she have such a government she
should be held responsible for her
conduct toward American citizens, just
as would any other government. If
she have not. then it should be our
business to establish such government
in that country. Our own interests
and those of the world at large de-
mand it.

of competition was highly developed
All about were men who had recov-
cred from shell shock and other such
complaints. They were examples of
the possibility of recovery. The atmos-
phere was that of optimism and en-
thusiasm. It was conta gious. It
usually cured the nerve shattered SOL
dier.
The French method was that of
jolting the soldier out of his unde-
sirable mental state. The American
method was more persuasive. It was
but necessary to show the man that
his ailment was not real and perma-
nent, that recovery offered for him a
more pleasant prospect than remain
ing Ill, that his attitude of mind was
wrong and might be mended, to lead
him to recovery.
There had been neurologists and
psychiatrists before the war who I'M
derstood leading such patients to re-
coYery but their number was small.
Each patient had to be studied and
be trained to the work. Formulas
had to be worked out for the guidance
of men who had not devoted their
lives to a study of mental diseases.
This was found to be possible and the
cure of thousands soon came about.
The extent to which a mental at
was shown in the case of French
soldier who received a wound in the
arm. He lost control of the wrist,
which dropped forward and could not
be raised. The soldier was sent home
to his farm for recovery and remained
a year. When he was again called
his wrist still hung helpless. The
surgeon talked to him for five min
utes, convinced him that he could use

His family and his lawyer want to
make out as bad a case as possible for
the recovery of damages. The matter
hangs on and he dare not get we'll for
fear of losing the money. Subcon-
sciously he wills that he shall not re-
cover. He may become bedridden and
remain so. There are financial and
family influences working against his
recovery. He becomes burden on in
dustry. Internationally he has be-
come bedridden invalid while he
might be a we'll, productive man. The
treatment that cured men of she'll
shock in France will cure the COM
motioned victims of industry.
And there are many commotioned
individuals in CIVIL life besides these
typical cases who have received in in
dustry shocks comparable to those
of war. A man who suffers great
business failure may be commotioned.
He may feel broken and unable to start
again. So may a man or woman who
has lost friend or relative or one who
has suffered some great humiliation.
All of these, say the modern PSYCHE
artists, can be cured. The catastrophe.
which sticks in the mind and Injuries
it, can be deity extracted by a skilled
practitioner. and contact with a slim
ulating environment will do the rest.
You may even cure yourself if you
have will enough. If you have been
commotioned, do not give up.

Just as arrived at this conclusion.
the clock struck. 1t was o'clock and
Robert had not come in. I had been
SO busy with my thoughts. with plan
ming for him that I had not been
aware of the time. / took a magazine
and sat down to wait But I couldn't
read. and kept glancing at the clock,
wondering why Robert didn't come.
The dinner was over at eight. so at
half past seven 1 went down to the
table. Every time the door opened 1
turned around thinking 1t might be
Robert. I finished my dinner. Some
way the idea of dressing. of making
myself attractive for him accentuated
my distress because OF his failure to
come home.
Again in my room tried desper-
ately to fix my mind upon story.
but it was impossible. 1 looked out
of the window. I tidied my bureau
and did all the things women do when
nervous because of waiting.
Ten o'clock came, eieven-then just
as the clock chimed the half hour.
Robert came in.
To my relief. I saw at once he had
not been drinking.
Did you think I had eloped?" he
asked gaily, making no excuse for
leaving me alone. Then kissed me.
Eyes, I thought you had found
someone you liked betten than me-"

moment I asked. where in the world

A boom for Hoover for the Demo-
crat nomination for president seems
to have sprung into prominence i'm
mediately following the Jackson Day
dinner in Washington. 1t has the
look being due to some sort of con-
certed action. Mr.. Hoover is a native
OF Iowa and a resident of California.
His political affiliations appear to be
undetermined. His life has been spent
in Australia. China, Burma, and Eng
lard, except for his young manhood
which he lived in the United States
until twenty-three years of age. Dur
ing the war it was his business to dis
Il butte food among the various ma
lions according to their needs. To do
SO he has used the power delegated
TO him by the president to ration the
people OF his native country. and in
duce sacrifices on their part for the
good Of the world as a whole.
The New ork World is giving him
unqualified support and this has given
rise TO a belief, in some quarters, that
lie Is the choice of President Wilson.
