Often the letters from lovers are
more interesting than any answer
which a be devised. Most absorb
ing of all are those tales of love
which is hopeless for some reason.
For example, this truly pathetic re-
cital of faithlessness-why did a
man, SO keen to wed, desert the girl
who adored him?
"A man several years older thar
| came to our town. He began at
once to go with me, seeing me three
or four times a week, and went with
no other girl.
1--WE seemed to understand each
other perfectly and o became en-
gagged.
"He went to my parents and asked
for my hand. His frankness delight
I'd them. He seemed honest in every
way. We planned a happy future
md the details of our home. All the
while he impressed me as absolutely
devoted. 1 was more than happy.
after our engagement, he made a
confession. I've never seen a man

ne that he had been divorced and
that his wife was living. He said
hat he couldn't marry me until he
had told me the truth. although he
had been afraid to do 30.
His story hurt me terribly, but
I knew that in spite of his former
marriage l loved him devotedly and
that l never could give him up.

doubled by the test. He was almost

IN THE SOCIAL WORLD
PLAN TO BOOM
COM HOUSE

Two large meetings have been
planned to take place within the next
two weeks in the Community House
in tombstone street, for the purpose
of booming the activities of the house
as a community center. The first
meeting will be a joint meeting of
all of the clubs meeting there at reg
ular intervals and will be held on
next Thursday night, December 8.
Each club member has been reques-
ted to bring a girl guest. Mrs. Ad-
rian Lyon, president of the Commu-
nifty Association, is scheduled to adj
dress the meeting and a jolly social
time is being arranged by Mrs. Isa-
bella Gould, the house hostess.
The other meeting is to be a moth
er's meeting at which time the
mothers of all the club members
will be their guets and it's object is
to show the mothers how their
daughters spend their time at the
house. This meeting is predicted to
be an interesting one.
Mrs. Gould is planning to have a
large Christmas tree at the house
and a party for the needy families
on or about Christmas. All of the
clubs have expressed their desire to
help in the purchasing of gifts for
the Riddles and as has been the GUS
tom in other years all children, wom-
en- and girls. who are spending their
first Christmas in America, will be
invited to participate in the Ameri-
can festivities about the tree.

Almost one feels sorry for the man
WHO could abandon the little lady
who writes the above.
The older women, however, are
quick to be suspicious and will prob
ally surmise at once that there was
something wrong in that story of di-
vorce. Perhaps the suit vas in prog
ress and the decree was not granted.
Then, in a moment of emotional ex-
plosion, the man asked the girl to
marry him Immediately. Delay
brought calmness but no way out ex-
cept a confession, which was too
great am ordeal for his particular
temperament. THEME ran away.
