Who Occupies a Unique Position In the Writing World As An Autoro- ity On the Problems of Girls Apples of Sodom are the fruit of the osher tree. These apples resem- ble smooth apple or orange and are deep yellow when ripe. When they are touched they explode with puff and there is nothing left but the rind and a few flores.
 We all know people who are no more than Apples of Sodom.'' Smooth and fine in appearance, they give promise of much that the slightest pressure of circumstance re- veals they will never fulfil.
 On the other hand we know the most unpromising looking individuals who reveal great strength and power and beauty when we come to know and test them.
 Nothing can be more self-deceiv- ing than the habit of judging by ex- terna1s. Recently girl came to me with a tragic expression on her face and bitterness in her heart. She was enam cured of a young man who had everything to recommend him to her casual glance. She didn't go beyond the facts that he was handsome in g. cold, carved way, that he wore his clothes well and that he was well-ed-
 
 ish and social charm And in an ex- asperated tone she cried out: My father says he's too pretty TOT a man. Isn't that-horrid? And my brother says he's to good to be true. | They don't know anything actually the matter with him, so they insist on making light of his good points and be1ittl1ng them and even turning them against him"
 A little investigation revealed that the man was too delicate to work. But | he wasn't too delicate to dance at teas | every afternoon and to stay up halt | the night. His widowed mother SUD- ported him. She was a prosperous and successful insurance woman and l seemed to take great pride and joy in spelling her only son.
 He in turn gracefully permitted his | mother to work for him. He was not 1 even gracious enough or grateful | enough to reward his devoted mother with devotion dn turn. but scorned her | for the weakness and sentiment which | permitted him to take advantage ot her

 understood what a hunted. haunted | thing Bertha's lie had been of recent years. So was reassuring instead of | reproachful.
 'Prying is miles beneath Miss 1 Sturges, Bertha. She'd never stoop l to it. And what I do in her house Is

It dosen't seem possible that Evvy has forgotten Sheldon Blake so soon.
 But after the first shock of Sheldon's | death is passed, has bitterness come to take the place of love in her heart? Is she turning cynic now remembering, perhaps that Sheldon's tragedy had come through Valerie Cosby?
