What happened when one girl
tried to convert sentiment. by
wholesale. into a driving force, is
told in a a naive little letter from
an Atlantic seaboard town:
Gas the only girl in a family Of
five, l Just naturally make brothers
Of ell boys. I invite them TO play
basketball and I have played base
ball with them.
Have Just graduated from high
school and this vacation / suddenly
woke up to the fact that the boys
have ali turned I firts and the girls
too.
AT once 1 decided to drop the
crowd. They seemed so silly. Then
I knew I'd be left out Of everything.
I suppose because my living with
big brothers had taught me a good
deal about nice boys. l thought may
be l could help our crowd a little
bit.
so I organized a club and all the
neighborhood Joined. OF course they
made me president and we had a
constitution ~forbidding kissing and
hugging and every form OF spoon
ing; and we turned u amusements
to athletics and current events.
Now it was mighty hard to put
that constitution through. The boys
did it. The girls wanted a dancing
club. As soon as it was adopted,
some dropped out.
And aver since, the girls who
stayed in treat me pretty queerly.
They don't seem much interested in
current events. And they imply that
l have put something over them!
But the boys are all on my side.
They highly approve the clubs OBJ
ject, have hot arguments over his
tory in the making. and they never
break the rules about spooning.
. "I guess that's what worries the
girlsl"
Now isn't that a gay little be-
trayal of how the youth OF the two
sexes respond to a practical expert
ment in sublimating the emotions?
A young wife and mother who
says she is a striking beauty. con-
fesses that she can't help noticing
the men-strangers-who speak to
her in the street. She asks what's
to be done.
II she cares to do so-she can re-
make the habit of her mind.
She can sublimate her " ertoic-
ism. She can fnhibit her impulse to
arouse the admiration of strangers

rLa-&a. IN


I wasn't surprised that Philip
Ames had ended his life. for as I
thought of our last conversation, 1
realized that at that time he had as
much as told me he might do such
a thing.
And as / stood there in the dusk,
the telephone receiver still in my
hand, 1t was his wife of whom /
thought. What of her-the woman
of tie beautiful voice, the woman
who. it seemed, had never been a
part OF her husbands life?
/ wondered If she know, IL Miss
Howard had called her-and then
suddenly came the thought of Lila.
What would Lila do? Would she
feel a responsibility in the tragedy,
and would the accusation of the
thing have an effect upon her treat
ment of her husband?
/ wondered how to tell her. / even
considered the wild scheme of trying
TO keep the thing from her entirely.
but / knew that would be impossible.
So, fearfully, I started upstairs

what is wrong?" she demanded.
Her eyes in their fear were like
hose of a wild beast, trapped and
struggling.
Phillip Ames is dead" I said. He
killed himself"
Lila made no outcry. She put her
hands over her eyes. l saw her
igure sway slightly. My room was

thought. / did not want to see them;
l had no right.
Finally, through the darkness. her
voice came to me.
Does his wife know? ?" she asked.
And then 1 knew that Lila Ames
no longer cared for Philip.
II don't know" I half whispered.
Il suppose someone should go"
where did-it happen" asked
Mrs. Ames.
AT his Office"
Gould you-would you go there
and do anything you can to help?
Put our home, and anything we can
do, at Kate's disposal" .
AS Mrs. Ames opened the door TO
her own room and the light fell on
her face. l saw that it was white
an haggard.
L looked with dread toward the
hours that were ahead of me. As I
rode downtown / tried to imagine
what the Office would look like,
whether or not Philips wife would
be there and IL the little ~stenogra-
pher would still be crying.
/ found the door of the Office
closed. 1 knocked, then opened it.
Only a desk light was lighted. so
part of the grewsome thing was lost
in shadow. At the desk sat a wom-
an. 1 was fascinated by the beauty
of her profile and poise. She had
something in her hand, something
that she had half drawn out from
under the blotter on the desk. 1t
looked like a photograph.
AS / closed the door she looked up.
She bowed slightly. a faint smile
quivered at the of her mouth
and then she was on her feet.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there's no need OF
having a sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pImPles-a bilious
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.
Dr.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle In their
action vet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
Dr.. Edwards'O Olive Tablets are known
by their olive color. l5c and 3Oc.

Forty-and you're settling down.

you're getting old?
You don't quite like it, either. but
you feel there isn't any alternative?
But there is, there really is!
Just keep a freshness of outlook
that's all!
It's only when habits become OBJ
stinately fixed and when h mind
refuses to accept new ideas that any
oma can truthfully be called old,
and it is only then that her face set
ties into those year-revealing lines.
Simply decide that you are not too
old, at forty, to embark on new en-
terprises.
Just suppose you've always want
ed to take music lessons but there
have always been too many house.

forty and your young brood is safe
ly in school, begin studying music.
OF course, you'll never learn to play
really well. but you'll learn a lot OF
interesting things and keeping in

Or have you always had a PEN

one. OF course, you'll neve be a
teacher of foreign languages or any

have a workable vocabulary.
And then, you have the vote-why
not study economics?
Don't just settle down and be too
old at forty. You're only as old as
your outlook, you know. And a
fresh outlook Is better than all or

NEW YORK.-Anna Pavlowa,
premier danseuse of the world, is
coming to America with a new series
of ballets that have plots such as a
screen or stage play Of the simpler

One ballet will be based on fairy
tales. Included in this repertoire
are terpsichorean depictions of Lit
tie Red Riding Hood" "Puss-in-
Boots" The Blue Bird nCinderei-

image.
The light grows deeper. The high
priestess is left before the statue.
AS the light changes, the temple and

garden. The god appears in person.
The god tells her he loves her.
She struggles between her religious
vows and a sublime love. She falls
exhausted before the pedestal.
Rays of the morning sun dissolve
the garden. 1t Is once more the tenn
pie. Revived, the priestess would
offer the god her love, but the OBJ
ject of her love is now a cold, unre-
sponsive statue.
Another new ballet is a Morse
idyll. Girls flee when they see a
wrecked fisherman's boat upon the
rocks of a Norwegian Fforde and a
mans body beside it.
One girl remains. She learns that
the mar is alive. She assists him
to recovery. Love at first sight.
