excitement only attracted them the
more.
Yet she did not know what to say
on any subject brought up, except
books and the work she was doing in
Marketown. She was seated next to
Mr.. Cooper, and she felt his kindly as
sistance when she looked helplessly at
the array of strs age forks and spoons
that adorned the table. On her other
side was a very tall young man with
large eyes and a very small moustache
an aviator who talked excitedly of the
war and who seemed to want to go
over the ocean to fly with the Euro
pean armies.
Following" the dinner the whole
party were piled into several cars, and
went to the last act of some musical
play. Then they motored to another
place, which Ruth heard mentioned as
a Roof" and watched a very elab-
crate show going on, while they ate
still more and danced between the
parts of the show.
The tall young man with the small
moustache asked Ruth to have tea with
him the following day. and Ruth
promised. Everyone was charming,
yet the girl found she could only talk
with the men Of the party.
That's your masculine business
training" Mr.. Cooper told her when
she remarked on this fact. We can
sit around and discuss worth while
things, while our wives talk about
who's going to marry who. Except my
wife-she reads everything You'll
like her"
Ruth found this true, and like Mrs
Cooper. She felt curiously at home
and curiously strange among these
new people, but she went to her hotel
thoroughly tired and excited This
evening seemed the beginning of the
reward Of her hard work

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. THOMPSON: l am a mar
two children. My husband and were
invited to a party which his boy
friends had. Do you think it was
right for my husband to join the kiss
ing games after I refused to join
because l didn't think it was right for
married people to play such games.
Do you think any girl who had any
respect about her would let a married
man kiss her at least twenty-five
times during the evening?
Please tell me if l was right in not
joining in the game, or was my hus-
band right in kissing every girl? Or
do you think | am Just Jealous?
A TRUE WIFE.
| think it shows lack of self-respect
to join in kissing games. Your position
was most difficult and since you OBJ
Jected to being kissed in such a way
think you were quite right in refus-
ing to play. To become a ''prig" in
the eyes of all must have been most
unpleasant
Your husband should have been free
to make his own decision. Probably
he believed that when in Rome he
should do as the Romans do. To kiss
every girl was far better than to center
his attentions on one.
1t seems to me that the girl who
permitted a married man to kiss her
twenty-five times showed lack of self
respect, refinement and thoughtfulness.
She didn't care how the mans wife
felt.
l am afraid you have foolishly suf-
fered from jealousy. Because your
husband kissed the girls is no sign he
loved you less.
