FREEDOM: Your thought of

very wrong. Never think for one
minute that he VIII go uppunish-
ed just because you do nothing to
make him suffer as you suffered.
There is higher power who has
made reaction inevitable. Suffer-
ing follows wrong doing sometimes
and somewhere; it may not come
at once or even in this life, but it
will surely come. Shut out horri-
bic thoughts from your mind and
try to forgive your husband 8
wrong doing no matter how ter
rible it has been. You cannot live
with hatred in your heart and ex-
pect to be happy or do justice to
your child. Love for your little
one and the joy of having her can
crowd out bitterness if you will
only let it.
think when your husband
married you he loved you in his
way. 1t was not a high type of
love, however. Since he does not
want to see his child let him 60
his way and do not follow him or
try, to force him to come.

New York is wearing her skirts
eight inches from the ground but
they promise to drop even Bower
than that when winter comes. Even
now some few extreme models are
being shown which are ankle and
instep length. The first reception
and dinner gowns for late summer
and early fall are featuring these
long skirts. In fact, they are
about the only changed feature in
the new styles. Belts remain low,
lines are long and slender and
bloUses are plain. Sleeves of
course, still offer a little some
thing unusual either in regard to
line or trimming.
This gown design for formal aft

LILLY SEES TOM AT THE THE
AFTER
CHAPTER 81

AI1AI In u
1--WE got something to tell you,
Cert" Lilly said in an aside after
she had introduced her companion
as James MsGinnity. "Tll tell you
after the boys 60"
Lilly did not notice that Gertie
was distrait. so taken up was she
with McGinnis, young man she
had only met that night, and whom
to use her own words, she was
"vamping because he had money!
What is it you have to tell me,
. Lilly?" Gertie asked in tired
voice as they stood in the dark
hallway after bidding their escorts
good night.
"That fellow, Tom Norris, the
one who we thought was stuck on
you so long ago-he's here again"
81 know, ] went riding with him
this afternoon"
You did! Why didn't you tell
me he was in town? Italways tell
you everything"
II didn't know it till this morn
ing, Lilly. Then just a little after
he came and took me for a ride
WELL. l saw him tonight with
the SWEETEST girl! Gee! But she
was peach all right. You see
McGinnis runs a big pool parlor,
he's got money to burn, so Len
told me when he introduced him
to me. 1t wasn't two minutes be-
fore he asked me to go to a, show,
and if | couldn't stay all through
said he wouldn't mind but would
take me to Rosenburg's in time to
dance. Maybe / didn't jump at
the chance! We went to that new
musical comedy, orchestra seats,
mind you, and only just two rows
in front of us was that Norris fell
low in waters clothes, and a girl
without much on but strapS, and a
gorgeous blue coat to lean against.
Honest, Gertie, she didn't show
hardly anything but bare skin
above the top of the seat. She was
a swell locker. too, lovely blonde
hair, done high up on her head,
and pearls and rings and bracelets.
Oh, gee! Why were we born poor!"
Gerte had scarcely heard a
word of all this. All she realized
was that instead of coming to see
her dance in her pretty, new cos
tune Tom had taken some other
girl-his own kind evidently from
Lilly's description, to the theater.
He's got u right to take anyone
he wants to the theater," her pride
came to her rescue, although she
desperately wanted to cry. He had
said he was going to take her, and
now the very first night he had
taken another; and everyone said
she looked so pretty in her white
dress with the nice shoes and
stockings.

HOW TO PREVENT
SUGAR FORMING IN SYRUP

A thick sugar syrup docs not fer

periments have shown that sugar

water (42 degrees Baume) does not

Syrup of this destiny will ordinarily

disqualification may be prevented
by the use of an invertase prepara-
ton. This has the property of in
yerting' ordinary cane sugar to the
non-crystallizing form and permits
the evaporation of the syrup to such
an extent that fermentation does not
occur.
Methods for the use of invertase
have been. recommended by the U.
S. Bureau Of Chemistry: A concen-
trated form of invertase is now on
the market.
The evaporation of the juice is

the tank is covered and the semi

HAIL THE QUEEN.

Our congratulations to Miss
Ernestine Logan, beautiful and
talented Plains, Georgia Miss,
who has been designated in the
American Legion voting contest
as the most beautiful and popu-
lar girl in the county and who
will grace Armistice Day as its
principal pageant figure-tle
Armistice Day Queen.
She has been supported not
alone by her own loyal towns
people in the race but by host
of other folks throughout the
county and her selection will
probably prove as popular as
any in the race.
At this time, however, it is
meet to commend the other
young ladies who entered the
contest for their interest and
their good fellowship that made
the Legion event a most success
full one.
Always in such contests there
are moments when rivalry be-
comes intense, and it is out of
such rivalry That the. value of
the contest is derived.
The American Legion wanted
the public of Sumter county to
choose the young lady who
would be their queen. This has
been done.
Now Queen Ernestine will
choose those who will attend her
on that day. She will select
these from those beautiful
young girls who have been asso-
ciated with her in the contest as
we'll as from ranks outside.
When the cast is complete
who will gainsay US when we
assert that Sumter county and
the American Legion will hav,
cornered the beauty market on
November II.
Congratulations again to
Queen Ernestine, to the ones
who assisted to make the contest
a popular one and to the Ancri-
can Legion for its foresight and
Initiative in operating a contest
that was free from any criticism
Of unfairness.
Let US all get together now
and pay court to the Queen and
aid her in making the Arr1istice
Day event the biggest thing of
its kind we have ever had here.
