He found the letter she had
written him in q little clearned
space upon the table. Painfully
he plodded through It, winking
back the tears that blurred and

great .outpouring OF her love for
him, tragic. heart-rending. pathetic.
Her love had known no selfish
ness, and self-destruction was the
great proof Of 1t. She could live
bat q few months at best, year
at the utmost-she told him; a
fatal cancerous growth spelled
death for her: Doctor Lloyd had
told her an operation was inpos-
sible. It was merely a question
of time. For some weeks she
had been contemplating this final
step. and on Sunday when Philip
had come home unexpectedly
from Burlington, and she had
been convinced OF his love FOR

MYTH the advent Of the fall
" suit. the demand for
w smart blouses Ii growing.
The very thin girl will appreci-
ate the flattering aspects Of the
jabot blouse. A new model to
accompany = suit Of the same
shade, and has the jabot cut IL,
one with the blouse. A three tier
gobet jabot. at the left side. is
piped with brown ribbon. and this
ribbon il also used at the neck
and short kimono sleeves. The
bottom Of the overhlouse IL shirred
slightly into q broad band.
With a. blouse of this type,
when one removes the jacket for
tea or at the bridge table, she is
suitably dressed, especially II the
blouse IL chosen In the same shade
as the suit.
Long sleeves are favored this
season, and are q pleasing change
fppm the sleeveless models. But
IL you have q smart overblouse
from last season you could add
wriSt-length peasant sleeves of
q harmonizing material. Some
times the piece trimmed out from
the armhole will be enough to
make a straight band cuff for the
new sleeve.
To accompany black duvetyn
suit there is a striking blouse IN
black fiat crepe, with sleeves at.
tached at a drap shoulder, and
extending to the wrist, flaring a
little. A double row Of white
pearl buttons IL used at the
front, and there is a narrow roll
collar Of white crepe.
The new fuchia shade is used
for an interesting blouse, worn
with q platinum grey suit. The
blouse shows the peasant sleeves
and q high neck with an unusual
standing collar. Silver thread
embroidery traces an elaborate
design across the front, to form
waistcoat for the suit.
Mannish shirts Of heavy tub
silk, friIled crepe de chine
blouses and nice, washable blouses
Of wolfe and diInity are shown for
the autumn sport eeason.

MAKING ONES DREAMS
COME TRUE
WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY

q glowing generalization about
what 1t were wise to offer q
friend?
You who love-why not pay
some attention to the tastes. to
the significant gestures, to the
stray words Of those who adore2
Truly to love should mean also
to observe, to study, to show
some honest interest in the
tastes and yearnings and pecu-
liarities OF the one for whom you
claim to care.
The love that does not watch
its beloved with a tender yearn.
ing to serve lacks the unselfish
devotion which makes love worth
the name. Don't think OF your
self and the Joy you are getting
from being with your friends or
dear ones-but study them in
order to see which Of your little
ways hurts and annoys and what
you can do to give pleasure.
Understanding is real tribute.
The love which pays enough
attention to study out q coral
brooch from two gestures ana an
expression is real love. .
And to complete the circle. I
took pains to find out from
mother" just how she did feel
about that coral brooch and his
is what she said:
I'm sure don't see how Emily
knew. I've never said a word,
I'm plumb certain. But that was
just what I've been hankering
for ever since was a girl, and it
did seem as II I wasn't meant to
have 1t until Emily found out
somehow"
"It was love that found out" 7
said gently.

III OOu you serve
" more vegetables and
W less meat on your
table?" asked the country
housewife whose garden seemed
fun to oyerflowing with vege-
tables.
Simply because It takes too
much time to prepare them" she
answered, "and I have too many
other important things to do"
A survey Of some two thousand
school children in certain city

I'VE usually have bread and meat
and sometimes potatoes, cause

spinach or carrots or onions or
turnips or string beans"
''Yet. scientists assure us that
for the good Of our health vege-
tables are essential to the dict.
And the housewife who has the
health Of her family at heart
simply must make time to pre-
pare them.
How about showing the chill

tables? Surely it is better for
Willie to whittle away at q car
rot than to expend the same
amount Of energy trimming down
the leg Of the mahogany table.
Take a few moments to show
your nine-year-old daughter how
to scrape carrots, peel onions or
pare potatoes. It's the prepare

Many women complain that the
reason they do not cook green's

beyond their reach in the city
