smile twisting his mouth. But the
girl seated beside him in the trim lit
tie runabout did not smile.
Young Doctor Mendel peered tri-
fie anxiously under the brim of her
broad black hat. Ruth's eyes were
really angry, there was hard look
on her pretty face. He felt instinct
lively that through all the lovers quar-
rels of their engagement they had
never been so close to real break
before.
"Now, Ruth girl, listen to reason"
he went on coaxingly. Gwen if you're
a rabbits daughter and have grown
up in this sort Of thing, it doesn't
mean I have to change my whole life,
my whole manner of thinking, does
it? I've told you just how it was
my parents never denied being Jews,
but didn't care darn thing about it.
And I went through college feeling
the same way. Maybe it just hap
pened SO, but the fellows got the
chummiest with happened to be gen.
tiles. So just can't help taking
broad view Of things, can I? 2"
"You mean my father and I are
narrow and bigoted?" she flashed
back at him.
'You know I don't!" soothingly.
81 think your fathers one of the finest
men I've ever met; he's sincere and
idealistic and as hardworking in his
field as I am in mine. So I respect
him. Just as respect your feelings,
your intense Judaism. I haven't any
religion to amount to anything, but
you can make our home as Jewish as
you like and bring up our children, if
we're lucky enough to have 'em, any
way you please. I can't promise any
more than that, can II" and again he
smiled under the broad hat brim.
But she did not smile back. They
were driving more slowly now through
one of the pleasant little villages that
skirt New York. 1t was Sunday and
as they passed the Uncovered white
church the congregation passed slow
ly down the stairs, chatting and
laughing together. It was an idyllic
scene but Ruth's eyes did not soften
as she looked at it.
~ feel such a lack in you," she
said slowly, "a lack of what my father
and all of our friends have, or those
people we just passed. They believe
in something, they have something
that spiritualizes and refnes them;
you haven't anything"
The doctor laughed little ruefully.
"My work has made me material
istic," he confessed. "Somehow, you
don't go around looking for souls in
the dissecting room. After concen-
trating the best that's in you on
patching up bodies, you naturally for
get to worry about souls. 1t won't
be easy for me to get religion as
my Methodist roommate at college
used to say, but I'll try"
"I'm not joking" angrily. 81 don't
mean expect you to change your be-
liefs, to believe in prayer and temple
services and all the other things I've
been taught to believe in. But it
goes much deeper"
~ don't understand, I'm afraid"
"And I'm afraid I can't make you
understand. You know what an ideal
list my father is-well, I want to mar
ry man little like him."
$50 I'm not enough of an idealist
for you? Is that the trouble?'
"Yes-I think So" Ruth was plainly

with ones nerves, even under the best
Of circumstances. One gets fussing
over imaginary difficulties which just
smooth themselves away after
month of normal married life"
Imaginary difficulties! I knew
you'd say that. You always reduce
everything to question Of nerves or
normal living. Maybe it's that way
with you but you're as emotional as
a jellyfish."

terrupted me that the sooner we were
married the BETTER" he went on
smoothly. 81 know you wanted to
wait till your sister graduated next
year, but if we could arrange for some
one else to look after the house"
"I'm not afraid of little self-sacri-
flee, even if you are," she cried almost
Historically. Ruth had not meant the
interview to take such turn. Her
highly sensitive nerves, tortured, as
her lover had said, by their long en-
gagement, as we'll as the emotionally
charged atmosphere Of her fathers
household, both had driven her too
far. And now she would not retreat

in tone now painfully restrained and
colorless. give known for long
time we weren't suited to each other,
but didn't have the courage to speak
about it before Take me home,
please, and don't try to see me any
more. I'll try to explain to father"
She stole side glance at him from
under the brim of her broad hat and
noticed that his face was very quiet
and undisturbed. "He doesn't care a
bit," she told herself, a little disap-
pointed. "But I might have known
he wouldn't care much-his kind never
does!" - .
1t was not hard to break the news
of her broken engagement to her
father. He had never approved of
Ruth's un-Jewish sutton and was glad
to have her free to devote herself to
her family again, the education of the
younger children, the household, above
all to his own plans and work. Busy
with her fathers correspondence,
work in the Sabbath School, Hadassah
meetings, Ruth was not too unhappy.
And if she sometimes found mo-
ment's space to dream of a merry
eyed lover with boys laugh, she
tried to force herself to forget. That
chapter in her life was closed forever,
Ruth told herself with all the hard
fnality of youth.
But few months after his dismis-
sal, young Doctor Mendel forced him
self upon her attention. Only mea-
ger paragraph in an obscure corner
Of the morning paper, but Ruth read
it breathlessly, then reread it with
trimming eyes. He had been operat-
ing on little Jewish child, charity
case, and his hand had become in
fected through rip in his rubber
glove; to dress the wound at that
moment would have imperilled the
child, so he had gone on with the
operation. Blood poisoning had set
in and the watchers at his bedside in
the hospital hourly expected his death.
II couldn't do anything else," he
said simply, when at last they were

despairingly. "Well, it does sound
crude, but it's the only way I can put
it; you're not serious enough for me-"
The charge, issued with all the
solemnity of Ruth's twenty censorious
years, hit the man so unexpectedly,
that in spite Of the intensity Of the
situation he felt growing up about
them, he burst into hearty laughter.
"Why, sweetheart, we can't BOTH
be dead serious all the time, can we?
I've told you more'n once I don't think
it's exactly healthy for girl your
age to take life as seriously as you
do. Maybe, having to take care of
your fathers house and your younger
brothers and sisters ever since your
mother died has made you that way,
but when we've been married little
while expect you to be just as foolish
and happy go-lucky as I am"
He smiled at her boyishly, trying
to take her hand; but she drew back
in sort of sullen anger. 'That's it

voice was low but bitter with long
growing resentment. you're just
what my cousin over at the hospital
called YOU"
"And what did Doctor Jacobsen call
me, please?"
"He said you never took anything
seriously, not even your patients; that
you didn't really sympathize with.
them because you thought Of people
only as sick people to be cured and
patched up again. And I'm afraid
he was right"
"I'm sure of it," very quietly. "And
I don't like to knock a fellow doctor
myself, but I've told your cousin more
than once that if he had little less
sentimentality and little more skill
it would be better for his patients"
cts like you to sheer at him be-
cause he's emotional. I've known him
to come from a hard day at the hos
pital to one of our Zionist meetings
to speak for the Medical Unit or the
Palestine clinics. But he's a real
Jew and he's interested in Jewish
things; you're not. You'd rather go
to show or roof garden and dance
when you have an evening off. I
don't blame him for calling you the
dancing DOCTOR"
The man might have passed off her
childish reproaches with his usual
lightness, had he not sounded the very
real indignation under her trivial
words. When he spoke it was with
one Of his rare spells of seriousness.
Ruth, I don't like to have you fly
ing at me like this. I don't deserve
it. You knew me several years be-
fore we became engaged and I was
just the same then as I am now

No Provision Made
 For Continuance Of Military Board

No provision for the continuance of the military emergency board is made for in the general military bill to be reported to the Legislature by the commhttee on military affairs. Juris- diction over the states military forces will revert chiefly to the adjutant general and assistant and the quar- termaster general and assistant, acting under the goveror.
 The military emergency board was created by the Legislature of 1917 when war with the central powers seemed imminent, and its original du- ties were to raise and maintain the Connecticut Home Guard consisting of troops recruited from the morgan ized militia who could not be held for service in the National Guard. It consisted then. as now, of three mem- bers and Major General Lucien F. Colonel J. Moss Ives and Colonel Benedict M. Holden were the other members. All of these resigned when Governor Holcomb, who appointed and Governor Lake reappointed Col onel Ives and appointed. Colonel Lu- cius B. Barbour and Colonel Paul Waterman to fill the other vacancies. Colonel Barbour was made presi' dent
 Two years ago, the Legislature amended the law to give the military emergency board control over all military forces of the state, except the governors guards, and under that act 1t has had charge of the reorganiza tion of the Connecticut National Guard.
 Colonel Barbour, being quarter master general of the state, will un- doubtedIy continue as one of direct ing forces of the states military net withstanding the discontinuance of the military emergency board as ad- vocated by members of that board, which was regarded as an emergency organization.
 By virtue of their positions on the eoyernor's staff ColonelS Ives and Waterman will also continue to be connected with the administration ot the states military forces
