manner seemed 10 announce. to the
world his reserve strength OF char

He quickened his pace as he saw
Ruth. His face lighted up with one
Of his charming smiles. Ruth was
talking viVaciously to the girls
when she suddenly caught Dick 5

Ruth" he said as he drew her
aside with eager Difference, may l

She hesitated, looked at him a bit
shyly, shrugged one beautiful shout

yes, then smiled: "Dick-you're a
fast worker l believe you bribed
the musicians They're playing a
waltz this minutei Wait T. till l
put my wrap up. I'll be with you in

Dick watched her go, glowing all
over. He was going to hold her
close to him, he was going to
breathe the perfume of her golden
hair, he was going to waltz, a
dreamy and enticing waltz, with the
girl over whom he was frantic

REFLECT HEADS
OF MEMS CLUB
Trinity Organization Retains Pres
ent Officers-E. c. Fisher and
Chaplain Young Speak.

Oscar ]. 0hlwejler was reelected
president of the Mems club OF Trim
iry Episcopal church at well at
tended meeting of the organization
"a the parish house last evening.
The club has experienced such a
successful year under the direction
Of the present stan of officers. that
IN addition to reeIecting Mr.. OIL
weller, the other incumbents were
paid the compliment OF being con-
tinued in office. Samuel Burgess
remaining as vice president, Ralph
Syrett, secretary, and Edward APP
pelquist. treasurer.
At the conclusion of dinner
served at z o'clock, during which
music was rendered by the parish
orchestra, the "Appelquist troupe.
according to the presidents an
nouncement, were introduced,
Misses Florence and Irene Appel
qnist entertaining with dances, and
Mrs. Gertrude Appelquist singing
two solos.
The speaker of the evening was
p. c. Fisher, superintendent of pub
lie schools, who took Single Track
Minds" for his topic.
Making the point that scientists.
philosophers, historians and theol-
ogians did not know it all, but were
wont to think too much in terms of
their own 'tisms," he said that all
four were agreed that better things
were ahead, that there is mighty
force controlling the destinies of
nations, which some radical think
ers are labelling Cod" that human
beings have the power to communi-
cate with that force; that the law
of reaction or give and take is in
operation in the affairs of men, so
that he who gives most receives
most, and that the work over which
the power behind all things is di-
recting must be done by human
agencies.
Edward H. Young, a son of Trim
fty parish, recently arrived in the
United States after term of ser
vice in welfare work for the allied
troops in upper Silesia, followed
Mr.. Fisher, and gave brief resume
of his experiences abroad.
1t was hard for him to realize, he
said, the conditions of plenty in
America, referring especially to
food supplies, in contrast to .condi-
tions abroad. On his arrival in
New York city, he stopped at a no.
tel where he was charged So a
night for his room. That would
amount to 10000 Polish marks, he
affirmed, and overseas, he knew of
men who worked 10 months for
that sum. The price of a pair of
shoes in the field where he was en-
gagged was "a 900 marks.
His service was rendered in
CZecho-Slavatika in Paschen, and
in upper Silesia, and his impression
is that trouble is bound to break
out before very long between the
Germans and French in upper ST.
lesia
During the World war, Mr..
Young. who is a clergyman of the
Episcopal church, without paroch-
ial charge. served as a chaplain for
the Canadian troops. He has been
