The Greater Love A NEW ROMANCE By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE
CHAPTER XIII
A NEW ROMANCE
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE
 WATER

Lang had time to think over the matter of the letter that must be written this afternoon before Ruth Grant appeared to act as his amanuensis.
 The matter of dictating letter to his mother was comparatively sim pie, although she might wonder who his scribe was. But, for some req son. he felt 8 hesitancy in asking Ruth Grant to -transcribe his episode to Victoria Walsh.
 Yet he must communicate with Victoria. Here 1t was Sunday, the beginning of the week in which he had two engagements with her. Of course there was always the pos sibility that she might call up his bank to inquire about him. But his accident would not excuse him from sending her word of explanation of hes inability to see her on the dates set.
 Perhaps he could write to her him. self. Maybe his hand would pc steady enough to permit his doing this.
 He held his right hand out and watched It. He was irritated to note that it trembled. Yet. even so, he might be able to wield pen.
 A lSnt knoch at ms door made him drop his hand before calling Come in"
 Dr. Grant and his daughter en- tered. The physician nodded his ap- proval of his patients appearance.
 You look better already" he de- clared. Keep on like this and we will have you downstairs before the end of the week. But that does not mean that you can walk around and wait on yourself If you're going to be imprudent, up here you'll stay until you're we'll"
 A Friendly Offer

 We will not let him be imprudent. father" Ruth remarked Martha and will manage him. You see if

husband than he is to her, and f makes a hundred times more differ ence whether she is suited in hus- band than it does whether he is suit ed in a wife. But for all of that, no woman dares go up to the man who she wants and pop the question; and if she did, he would say mo" just because he would feel bound to help preserve his sex monopoly.
 About the only equality between the sexes is political equality. In all other matters, women have so much the hot end of the bargain that no mother can look in the face of her girl baby without rendering profuse apologies to the unfortunate infant.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-12-28

Nothing ever gives my funny bone such a good, hard jolt as hearing people argue about the equality of sexes, and gravely contending that men and women should be judged by the same standard.
 They should be, of course, but they never will be and there never will be any equality between the sexes until nature and the custom of centuries are altered.
 Nature begins by making woman of a frailer physique than men, and laying on her the burden of bearing the race Then she throws in all odds and ends of nerves that she happens to have lying about handy and having added these to all the ills that masculine flesh is heir to. and added a few specific complaints of her own, it chucks woman out Into the world and says:
 There I've done my worst by you. Now go out and fight your battle of life. I've done everything I could do to unfit you for 1t and if you win out 1t isn't my fault"
 Then age long convention takes up the work. It begins by demanding that every woman must be beauti full though ugly, that she must be slim though born in the feather bed class. and that no matter how busy she is, or how little money she has to spend, she must dress like mannekin.
 Mems Privilege
 A man has the privilege of being as ugly as nature made him and provided he is clean, and neat, mo- body cares how he dresses.
 The fact that Jim Jones is homely enough to stop the clock doesn't keep him from getting a good job if he is cracker jack salesman and we would all be mortified to hear Mrs. Jones had lost her interest In her perfectly good husband because he had gotten fat and bald.
 But let middle aged woman. who is either too fat, or too thin slick her hair back into a comfortable tight wad at the back of her head: let

 long time because he could stick cut his tongue at Raggedy Andy; but Raggedy Andy could not stick
 out his tongue at Mir. Doodle, because Raggedy Andy's mouth was just painted on his rag face and he did not have q tongue. Of course, Rag

 "oh, l hcpe you do not have to fightr Raggedy Ann said.
 '.Well, maybe we win just fight real easy like" Ragsedy Andy re- piled.
 So they ran after MT. Doodle until they caught up with him.
 Now" said Raggedy Ann as she stamped her rag foot. Why did you take the dragon away from us, MT. Doodle?"
 "Because I wish to make chicken coop out of him, that's why." MT. Dc odle said, And I grew tired wait ing for you in the funny little house, and I knew when l get the paper Dragon home, l can mend his tail with glue better than Raggedy Andy canl'
 But when you take the Dragon away from us, don't you know that we don't. Now, MT. Lang-Tye comc to write letters for you-if you want me to-"
 T would be grateful If you can send few lines to my mother" the invalid said Then there is another letter-a mere note-that perhaps could write for myself. Just little business matter" he added hastily by way of explanation.

 Indeed, mo-" Kenneth exclaimed Tt is not as important as all that If I don't feel fit enough to hold a per-the letter can wait. or-I will dictate 1t later"

 Shall I take your dictatitn. or shall write to her Tn my own name, telling her how you are?" Ruth quer- fed.
 The man pondered for moment. It would be simpler to let her write in her own language telling of his ae- cident. and making lot cf his illness. Yet. if she were to do so, signing her own name--his mother might wonder who this Ruth Grant, was, if she were young or middle-aged homely or attractive.
 The son frowned slightly as he re- called his parents genius for prying into: his affairs--her suspicious na- ture-hcr determination that he pay no attention to any girl who had not enough money to satisfy the ambi- tions of worldly woman.

Poor Boys Who Be-

David wnrffeId. the Newsboy, the
 Great Actor

Before school, and after school. a boy stood on the streets selling newspapers. Often in the evenings he went to theatres and handed out pro- grams and eagerly watched the act ing. Those who bought papers from him, or who carelessly passed him by, little thought that they would live to sit in theatre. with tears stream ing from their eyes as they watched the marvellous acting of the man into whom that boy developed David Warfield, whose magic interpretation of the old Music Master and other characters has gripped the hearts of thousands.
 David Warfield had started on 8 course in tho public schools. When he had recited Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade" both teachers and pupils wondered at his power. Then the stern demands of work had called him from tho school room, and he had turned regretfuly away. Ap- parently the door of opportunity was closing.
 After a time he joined 8 company

 "I shall take the Dragon home anyway" MT Doodle said as he started pulling the Dragon along with him. If we catch hold of the Dragon and pull back we will only pull the Dragon in two again where we pinned him together" said Rag gedy Ann. What had we better do?"
 Maybe after all, I had better have fight with MT. Doodle and see which one wins tho Dragon" Rag gedy Andy suggested.
 "Why not let me fight with Mir. Doodle?" the Dragon asked in a wheezy voice.
 That would be silly MT. Doodle replied, "I have already captured the Dragon so he can not fight with mel"

 "Of course 1t does not" Kenneth said. "It is kind of you te' suggest writing the letter yourself. But come to think of if, perhaps 1t would make mother less anxious if I dictated to you what to say"
 Perhaps it would,' she admitted. Shall l begin now?"
 Yes. please"
 He watched her as she wrote the address and date at the tcp of the sheet of note paper. Her stationery was in good style, he noted--plain and undecorated.

 He stopped. Ruth Grant sat, her pen poised over the Sheet of paper, waiting for him to continue.

MRS. EMMA LAWS KRYGER.

1t is our mournful duty to record
the death of Mrs. Emma Laws Kryger,
widow of the late Mr.. Hans Kryger,
which occurred on Saturday morning
last at her home on Columbia planta-
ton. Mrs. Kruger had reached the
age Of forty three years, was native
of this parish and had lived here all
of her life. She was faithful wife,
q devoted rother and friend to all.
The funeral services we're held from
the Methodist Church Sunday even
ing. The deceased is survived by
four daughters, two sons, one sister
and two brothers, to whom the Ban
ner extends its heartfelt sympathies
in their loss and sorrow.
The government boat, Hyacinth,
is in Bayou Teche spraying the wat
er lilies. 1t is the request of the
government officers that owners of
stock keep them away from the
bayou until the plants have wither-
ed, as the spraying solution is liable
to injure stock that eat the plant
before they have begun to wither.
