WHEN A WOMAN TELLS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELlNG

Kate Ames and I parted close
friends, and 1 felt that in the new
life l was facing, she would be some-
one to look to for encouragement,
even though her own future was un-
certain, for Phil. she told me. left
his affairs in rather a muddle.
/ looked at my trunk. The lid was
up and 1 could see there my folded
clothing. 1 decided that I should see
Lila Ames and, after talking with
her, make some definite o to-
ward my future.
Lila was radiant when I entered
her room.
'Look!" She said.
At the window sat John Ames.
perhaps a little paler than he had
been two days before, but smiling
and-as 1 neared him-he held out
his hand.
I'm so glad to see you in this
fine shape" I said enthusiastically,
for l knew that IL there was one
person in the world who deserved
to be happy, he was John Ames.
isn't it fine! I'm more glad than
anyone knows to be here again." he
said.
TT all happened so suddenly"
Lila exclaimed. I'VE were sitting
here by the window, and I was try
ing to interest him in a story, when
suddenly he reached over and took
the book from my hands!

''It frightened me at first, because
I didn't know but what something
was terribly wrong. But the instant
1 looked at his face / caught what
it was-I knew he had come back"
Lila's voice was trembling with
emotion. 1t was like her then, to go
over, and kneeling on the floor at
her husbands feet, put her arms
around him and look up into his
face in her lovely, ~beseeching way,
until he kissed her.
"Lila-Lila girl, you'll always and
always be the anne impetuous. o v
able GIRL he said gently.
And I knew that 1t was time TO
leave them alone together.
1 went back to my room. Tom
would be arriving in an hour or SO
and, though I felt sure he could
mean nothing more to me, l wanted
to look my best for his last call.
There was a white dress, a shim-
mering white thing, soft and cling
ing, which I knew he loved. 1 laid
1t out. / spent my time coiling my
hair in, it's most effective line and
from slippers to frock put on the
very finest of clothing 1 possessed.
Shortly I heard the door-bell ring.
1 started down stairs.
Tom came up to the first landing
and there took both of my hands In
his.

"Hee, hee, heel" snickered the lit

that everybody was so curious about.
And with that he waddled away
about as gracefully as a potato
might If it could walk.

Twins, why don't you search him?'

Cap'n Pennywinkle. with that PIN

Queens pink pearl and be walking

you, Urchy, come back and fold up

search you"
Urchy Urchin hesitated, but came
back slowly. He knew better than
to disobey the fairy policeman, when
he had his magic badge IN.

America hasn't given enough
thought to the education of her
nurses" continued Miss Noyes, who
passed on about twenty thousand
nurses who applied for overseas and
army work during the war.
I'VE have all kinds of little
schools for everything imaginable
endowed but out of the 5000 nursing
schools in this country there is not
one which has an endowment.
"Of these 5000, however, only
1900 are recognized by the Red
Cross. And in this connection l am
trying to build permanent commit
tees in various sections of n u
try which will work gratuitously in
an attempt to raise the standard of
general public in the education of
nurses.
Just consider the influence of our
nurses who work among the Mo-
hammedan women, among the Al
banians who for 700 years have
been under Turkish control.
1--WE have a mothers club in AL
bania," said Miss Noyes, land in
Athens we have a baby clinic which
has cared for 700 babies.
AT first these women, especially
the Mohammedans who had never
been to a public meeting regarded
us with suspicion. They couldn't
understand an unselfsh interest in
their babies. they couldn't accept
our home hygiene.
but we've won them over. Their
babies are healthier. Their homes
are more comfortable-and they re-
gard America and the Red Cross
nurse as very much a factor in their
betterment."

N. Fairhill St., Philadelphia, Pa.
Standing all day, or sitting in
cramped positions and often with wet
feet, young girls contract deranged
conditions, and before they are hardly
aware of it they develop headaches,
backache, irregularities, nervousness
and bearing-down pains, all of which
are symptoms of woman's ills. Every
mother who has a daughter suffering
from such symptoms should profit by
the experience of Mrs. Eicher and

ARE YOU DOING YOUR
ROOMS OVER AGAIN
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

1t isn't necessary, just because you
want the furnishings and decorations
of your room keyed in a certain
color scheme. to buy everything in
that color. If you decide on null
berry, it isn't necessary TO stick TO
mulberry through thick and thin.
Mulberry should be simply your
accent.
For instance, let all Of the back
furniture be of some neutral tone,
then concentrate all of your color
value in the accessories.
And don't imagine that because
you have selected mulberry, every
decoration and acouterment must be
of the very same tooe of mulberry.
Indeed, for the best effect the tones
must be varied to a nicely and even
the neutral backgrounds should be
shaded and contrasted.
1t is in the attention showered up
on the hangings. the pottery. lamps,
glass, blooming or artificial flowers,
the bowl of fruit or the dozen or
more of cushions and inconspicuous
details hat the color effects are
brought out and made a thing of
beauty.
Curtains are really the important
color bearers. They set the pace of
the entire room, especially in fall
and winter.
Possibly the lighting effects come
next. And so varied are the ways of
devising lighting means that no
home need be without its truly beau
tiful lamp. A lamp is not neces-
sarily a thing which is sold for q
lamp. Sometimes the very prettiest
of them are those original ones
which a vase or jar. picked up in a

Suppose our color is blue-whaf
could be more lovely than a Chinese
jar upon which parade rather coarse
looking blue figures?
The clear glowing pottery vases
which are being extensively manu-
featured in this country make lovely
lamps. Their gorgeous colorings
could be the one strong tone note in
the room.
And the shade-with its some
times terrifying price-you can
make with bits of chiffon, fringe and
lace matching. contrasting or tonir
off the pottery.
Well chosen pottery is the
thing which adds greatly to

NOT MUCH GOES TO WASTE
Machines That Make for Economy Are
Nov In General Use In Faeto-

Recovery OF valuRble portions OF
materials formerly wasted is more

there has been in use In many OF
the large engineering works a CEN
trifugal separating machine which
removes the oil from iron and steel
turnings or bOrings and thus permits
It to be used over again. This idea
which underlies this machine has
now been carried farther and applied
to the removal of the dust and dirt
which unavoidably collects In oil
used Ia the lubricatlng systems Of
marine and other large engines. The
new machine is very similar in form
and operates on the SINE principle as
the now well-known centrifugal
cream separator. The fOul oil Is fed
continuously into the machine
through a strainer which catches any
gross particles, precisely as milk is
fed into the cream separator. The
purified oil escapes continuously,
while the dust and dirt collect on the
inner surface of the separating drum.
