Scheer expected to meet the British in
the last week of May, 1915. They didn't
expect to meet him. He hoped to fight
a portion Of the British forces. But he
had prepared for the contingency which
actually happened-tha of encounter

being suddenly forced to extricate him

maneuver of making complete change
Of course while under fire and in close
contact with the enemy. Thus, when,

nhase of the battle, he found himself
'T"-ed by the British main feet, he
turned direction from northeast to
southwest without the British suspect

demonstration had the effect of mysti-

Jellicoe's determination to avoid night
fighting.
When darkness fell Jellicoe arranged
his fleet in defensive order and
cruised south instead of west. This
again gave Scheer the initiative. He

Everyday Folks
Genuine Realism in Stacy
Aumonier's Stories

THE GOLDEN WINDMILL AND OTHER
STORIES. BY Stacy Aumonisr. Pub
lishcd by the Macmillan Company.
~ TACY AUMONIER is prominently
interested in everyday folks. He
has no fondness for abnormal and
psychopathic types. His characters arc
men and women whom we might expect
to meet any day. Their thoughts and
adventures are those Of ordinary life
The stories are saved from mere
commonplace and unimaginative real
ism by the authors ingenious plots
and by his excellent sense of humor.
For pure fun it would be hard to find
anything better than "A Good Action"
which describes the experiences of a
worthy fish merchant who sets out de-
termined to perform one altruistic and
beneficent deed. The good man en-
counters constant abuse and misunder-
standing. When he tries to give
money to poor woman he is accused
Of attempting to pick her pocket. He
gives aims to young man who pre-
tends to be disabled soldier, but turns
out to be Stacker afflicted with an
acute case of delirium tremens. After
meeting with other rebuffs he commits
one thoroughly spiteful act, which un-
l'expectedly proves to be great service
to some hated neighbors.
Several of Mr.. Aumonier's stories
deal with the war. There is the tale
of an utterly unimpressionable soldier,
who passes through the most hair-rais-
ing adventures without being ruffled
for moment, who loses his sweetheart
without moro than passing thought,
but who becomes inconsolable when he
learns of the death of his pet dog.
Whether he writes Of peace or of war
Mr.. Aumenier's work is distinguished
by its skillful construction and by its
absorption in the homely, common
episodes of life.

RESPECTFULLY.
A person who is self-conscious usu-
ally spends too much time thinking
about herself. She is representative,
afraid to act or speak for fear of max
ing a mistake and imagining a slight
, when none was meant.
The only cure for self-consciousness
J is to become more thoughtful of others.
Watch what others are doing and
listen to what they are saying. When
you are absorbed in other people, you
will forget about yourself.
1t is also we'll to consider how little
notice is given any one person unless
that person is deliberately conspicu-
Gus. In crowd there are so many
things to see and listen to that not
much attention is given to any one
person.
Do not be alarmed because you are
not popular at the age of seventeen
You are still very young and doubtless
have many good times ahead of you.
To be popular is not so much to
be desired: to have a few valued
friends would mean far more.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Could you
tell me a good lotion for chapped
hands?
Also, what will remove rings from
around the eyes? BLACK EYES.
A good lotion for chapped hands is
made with one ounce of glycerin to
two onuces of bay rum. twenty drops
of carbolic acid and enough perfume
to kill the odor of the acid.
Consult a physician about the dark
circles Often they are caused from
fatigue and lack of sleep, but when
they do not disappear after a good
rest they are the result of physical
disturbance.

Synopsis OF Preceding Chapters.


Ruth O'Niel and 'Myra Weed are
bosom friends. and have been so from
the time they were children. When
they have finished school they plan to
go to the city together, where Myra is
to study if she feels like it and
where Ruth is to enter a business col
lege. Myra wants the pleasure of the
city Ruth its opportunities to learn,
for Ruth must make money for her
family.
Ruth's chances are helped by win
ming 500 as a prize when she gradu-

are to start, Ruth comes running into
Myra's house, crying, and saying that
she cannot go-her one great chance
to be something in life has been taken
away from her.
