Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am girl

gone with good may boys. l have
never met one that 1 loved. have
refused several proposals, thinking
that later on I might find my ideal
man. but 1 am afraid / never will.
do not want to be an old maid and
so do you think would be happier to
marry some one or to remain single?
There are two that l think quite a
DIT of. One is 81 and the other is "a.
The former has proposed marriage.
but / refused as / thought he was al
most too old for me. ! believe / think
more of the other one. He has not
proposed yet, but he SENS to think
quite bit OF me. Please advise me.
TOPSY.
You probably consider yourself
quite aged, but in reality you are a
very young woman. Do not marry
some one just for the sake of marry
ing. If you wait two or three years
longer feel confident you will meet
some one you can love. OF the two
YOU have mentioned l should think
the younger man would be preferable.

troubled, and carried her of to a tea
room where the electric lights were
shaded with red crepe paper and the
walls covered with tarnished gilt
scrolls on a vivid green background.
Paul removed the large bunch of col
ored paper flowers that decorated the
table.
Il love this place." he remarked,
twisting about to grin at the lace cur
tains, the Autographs and china orna-
ments, the imitation bronze statue on
an imitation marble pedestal. Patty,
l hope you like 1t too We're going
to tave to come to 1t when we're mar
ried, you know. We won't be able to
afford anything better"
Patty smiled at him by way of an
swer. But his remark only worried
her more, for 1t brought back forcibly
the knowledge that Pauls mother was
through" with him If they married.
But she kept her ready smile until
Paul left her at the steps of Mrs.
Munn's house. The worried look only
returned as she watched him walk
away down the street, with an easy
swing and beautiful disregard Of the
slosh and slime of the melting snow
along the pavements.
Then she was greeting her old friend
again.
Your trip did you good, you look
much better" Patty said.
Mrs. Mum had been i'll and had
been convalescing at a sanatorium
For the sake of the healthy, the
sick should be herded together" Mrs.
Mum said, her gray eyes half laughing
as she remembered her weeks Of alb
sence. But it's hard on the sick. One
needs creatures as miserable as one
self. l did not begin to grow we'll
until I saw the funny side of my com
panions."
She began humorous description of
! the other patients and the rules and
regulations of the sanatarium, and kept
Patty laughing through dinner.
/ "And now" she said, as she settled
/ herself On the couch by the drawing
room fire. Now here we are, just as
though we had not moved for-how
long is it, six weeks l think, since I've
j been away. In that time nothing has
J happened to me but stupid things

me-"

of cushions by the hearth and now sal

She looked half shy, half frightened
and caught her breath a little as Mrs

He had half risen and was leaning
heavily on the table. his body swaying
slightly. Sally shrunk back in her
chair, thankful that they were in a
corner and that nobody was near.
Brownies voice grew louder and
thicker. Want to fight?" he asked,
staring up at Dick. Come on-let's

Dick would feel about 1t; would he be
embarrassed by this encounter, or
would he take 1t casually? Would the
people with him know who she was?
The younger one, a girl OF about IL,
seemed to be much interested in him
was she in love with him? Heart
sick, Sally stepped down to the dance
floor, yielded to her partners en-
brace. and began to dance.
The music was stimulating, the best
sort of jazz; the curious little minor
wall that the negro musicians seemed
to favor appealed especially to her.
She tried not to watch Dick and the
pretty girl. who were dancing too; he
must not think that she was too much
interested. Yet it was almost impos-
sible to keep her eyes from him.
1t seemed to her in that moment
that she loved him more than ever.
He was so big, so strong looking
his face showed so much strength and
decision; he would never be guilty of
the little subterfuges, the pettiness
that characterized Graham Browne. or
of the brutal disregard of those who
stood in the way of his desires, that
marked Keith Gilbert. He had been
so good to her, so thoughtful-and she
had told him that his love bored her,
had turned her back on all that he Of
fered, and followed false gods.
We'll Sally" 1t was Dicks voice
that spoke to her as the music stop
ped Her heart fluttered madly as
she answered him, and when, a few
moments later, she saw him crossing
the floor to the table where she sat,
she grew suddenly weak. Only she
and Graham Browne were sitting
there; the intermission had been
short, and the others were dancing
again.
She wished that Browne would go
away. She felt that she would give
anything for an opportunity to talk
few moments with Dick unhampered
by his presence. If she was not to
see her husband again until this hide
Gus year of separation had expired
to lose him-she must have this
chance to unburden her heart.
He paused beside the table and
spoke TO her, and Sally introduced
him to Browne, who had been drink
ing steadily, and acknowledged the in
PRODUCTION thickly, with a blurred ac-
cent that betrayed his condition.
Sally turned to Dick apologetically,
and the expression in his keen eyes
hurt her like a knife thrust.
She realized suddenly how the peo-
pie with whom she was associating
must look to his eyes. Dick was not
prude, but Lees free and easy mode
of living, the rather curious stand
ards of conduct that her friends lived
up to-or down to-while not actually
wrong. were not the clean cut rules
Of Dicks life. Not black or white
just gray-that's what her friends
would seem to him.
Will you dance with me, Sally?''
he asked.
"Oh-of course," she replied. But

FRIENDS COUNSEL

Patty felt relieved that she could, at
least, tell her friend, Mrs. Mum. Girl
like, she wanted to talk to someone
about this great event that had hap
pened. and she could not yet tell her
own family
1T is odd" she said once to Paul,
that there should be so little SYM
pathy between my mother and sister
and myself"
Nothing very odd about it." Paul
answered practically. You're just en-

thoughtfully. But sometimes | feel as
