A NEW ROMANCE

 Yes. Lang reflected as he gazed out through the dining room win dows towards the Western sky, still golden from the setting sun, he had thought of Southhold as forlorn little town.
 But now the town meant this house. That was all-ths house and those in it.
 Those? He liked his host heartily, but it was not of him that he was thinking.
 It was Ruth. scuthhold meant Ruth Grant. To him she was Could it be that already she had become to him his world?
 Suppose we sit on the south porch for while?" Samuel Grant sug- gested as he rose from the table.
 That will be pleasant Ruth as- sented. Perhaps Mir. Lang will be glsd to get away from the side ve- randa where he has spent so much of his time lately"
 ..I have enjoyed the side veranda," |" Lang insisted Nevertheless the south porch sounds quite exciting to me, for l have never been on it..
 tOh. yes you have-only you were not in t condition to remember" the physician corrected. That is the
 
 We carried you across it to bring you into my office on that hot day when We made your acquaintance"
 No Recollection
 he day on which you were so good to me-" Lang supplemented. No as he and his hosts emerged through the entrance on the veranda running across the front of the . house. T have no recollection of this place at all. Except" as he glanced around. "I do remember sec Ing the sign hanging on that white post. l saw it from the other side ef the street as stood on the library steps I thought that if l did not feel any better l would cross over and see the doctor living here"
 It's pity yoI did not do it then, instead Of going into the library first the physician remarked. as he dropped into one huge rocker and motioned to his companion to take another. You would have been spared chat nasty fall and a broken arm and dislocated shoulder. You would hardly have escaped the slight sun stroke you had but the effects would soon have passed had you not had that accident"
 Kenneth did not reply. Involun- tarily, he glanced at Ruth. She had just seated herself in a chair oppo- site him. and their eyes met. For a moment the two young people gazed at each other. And each knew what the other was thinking
 If Lang had come to the physicians S office first, instead of going into the library. he would not have met Ruth Grant she woulI not have been in a position to minister to him. he would not be here now, he and she might rever have become acquainted
 Questioning
 In spite of himself a question sprang to his mind, and he was, sure that she could read it in his eyes.
 Was she regretting that he had gone frs. to the library?

Mrs. Holsclaw Tells How Don Sung Made Her Hens Shell Out Eggs.

'In October I started giving Don Sung to our 50 hens It promptly brought them from 2 eggs a day up to 25 a day: My next S1 box brought them up to 36 and 38 eggs a day right through January, Now (Feb. 17th) am using my third $l box and expect it will bring them up to 45 or even 50 day.

You told them I'd be right over, 1i1n't you?" "Yes, sir. l knew you would. Shall l call Abe to get the car out?' "No-no-it's half past nine, and he is probab bly in bed.

 You'd feel like something worse than that if you dared exert yourself without my permission," Grant srinned.
 Let me go to the garage with you Ruth begged as her parent started down the steps. Shall I bring your lantern?"
 "A lantern on a night like this." the man seoffed. "No. But you can bring my medicine bag from the office.' r.s
 He was at the front door with his runabout almost as soon as his daughter came out with his bag. This she put in the bottom of his car, then lifted her face for his kiss.
 Her Good-by
 .Goodby! Take care of yourself. 1 softly that the man sitting on the veranda did not hear her.
 'Goodby honey! l hope I'll me back soon. I will if the attack Is not bad one. I hoped that the little chap would not have another of those spells" he added as if to himself. Good night, Lang-if I don't see you again.. But I may re- turn before you young folkS decide to leave this fine old moonlight"
 Then he drove away, his mind in- teat upon the case to which he had been summoned.
 Ruth said musingly as she came back to her chair. Yet, he loves his work
 Yes, and if it was taken away from him he would be unhappy" her companion said. 'It is wonderful to me to see. .how. no matter how tired he IS, his interest is always awak- ened when he hears of anyone in trouble or pain. For instance, just now, he groaned when the telephone rang. Yet as soon as he knew it was kid was sick, he was eager to get to him.. W

 Thinking Aloud
 She stopped abruptly, suddenly aware that she had been thinking aloud
 There was an awkard silence. broken by Lang.
 T suppose we all wonder what we would do if. as we put 1t. anything happened to those we love. But it is mistake to wonder that-for 1t may be trial we need never meet"
 She looked at him gratefully. Thank youv' she said with little smile. T want to keep that thought in mind. Yet--you had to give up your father. But you had your mother"
 He would not be a hypocrite ani say that his mother had comforted him for the loss of his father.

 Perhaps, he told himself. while his heart beat fast-perhaps he would, before long. put into words the in quiry that he had not spoken And perhaps she would put her reply into words as beautiful as her face now was.
 Samuel Grant seemed to ignore the silence evoked ny his remark. for he dld not glance at either of the young people. Instead he drew steady upon the long cigar that was his after supper indulgence. When he spoke again his thoughts were evidently cn the subject he had introduced "a few minutes ago.

This Is a very amusing trick ana with very little preparation can be performed with surprising results at the dinner table.
 Before the family sits down to table take an orange, cut II lheo quarters and carefully peel the sRlh from each part.
 Now glue the orange peels on an apple a trifle smaller than the orange was and If done carefully it will LOOK very much like genuine orahse'

Hello" Girls Telephone
Office Girl Christmas Party

The local Hello" girls of the Gen.
trail telephone office frightened the
lives of about 40 youngsters ranging
in age from to II years, when they
gave them Christmas party yester-
day afternoon in the retiring room
of the offices. A beautiful Christ
mas tree stood in one end of the
room. prettily lighted with colored
lights and other decorations and
loaded with gifts for the little tots.
A most modern Santa Claus made
appearance through the window sur
prinsing the children and causing
them no end Of delight. Old Santa
distributed gifts to everybody and
then amused them with his prattle
about this seasons work that he has
to do. Refreshments were then serv-
ed, consisting of ice cream, cake, an
imal crackers and candy and then
the little group were arranged in
front of the Christmas tree to have
their picture taken by E. N. Shuman.
The gifts were contributed by both
the telephone girls and Hugh Davi-
son. Mr.. Dawson furnished 20 gifts
for the 20 youngest boys and girls.
The committee in charge was Miss
Kate Brown, chairman, Misses AMY
Morgridge, Lillian Bolduc, Clara
Drawn and Julliette Sylvester. Miss
Dorothy Sanders acted as Santa
Claus.

caught betting or recognized as pro-
fessional gamblers be barred from
all boxing matchs In this state.
AT the same time, the commission
adopted three other rules designed 70
minimize the. opportunity for anti
cipation of fight decisions which has
been particularly apparent since the
verdict by which Johnny Dundee re-
gained the junior lightweight title
from Jack Bernstein. Ringside opin-
ion in that contest was almost unani-
nous In favor of Bernstein.
The new rules in this connection
provide that no person be allowed to
sit at the ringside on the side where
the judges are seated except the time
keeper. who must be at least six feet
away: that no one may remain
standing during the progress OF a
match at any club; and that no one
except managers and seconds may
enter the dressing rooms.
The commission did not discuss the
question of mixed bouts, pointing out
that no official barrier to such con-
tests exists. Nevertheless, 1t is un-
derstood the boxing solons have
frowned upon mixed matches of out
standing importance and that the
way has not yet been cleared for
such proposed fights as those between
Harry Wills. New Orleans negro, and
either Luis Firpo or Jack Dempsey.

CHAMBER PLANS
TO KEEP DIARY
OF DAYS EVENTS

Beginning January /, 1924, Mrs.
Florence NJ. Wallace, secretary of the
Waterville- Winslow Chamber of Com
merce, will start a diary of events for
the year and in order that this diary
may be as complete as possible every
one and every organization planning
some event is urged to telephone the
Chamber of Commerce and have the
date put on the book.
This diary will be helpful to citi-
zens in many ways. People wishing to
stage a play. entertainment or event of
any kind can find out by calling Mrs.
Wallace If they are choosing a night
when many other similar events are
taking place. and if so can find out
some date when not much is going on.
In this way both those wishing to
stage the event and those who wish
to attend will be benefited. In the
past it has often been unfortunate that
several major entertainments, lectures
and the like have been scheduled for
the same night and there has not been
enough cooperation to change them.
While in the course of the season many
fine entertainments, speakers, plays
and musical events come to this city,
they are not arranged so that people
can get the most benefit possible from
them, and often citizens have to choose
when they would like to attend all.
People are urged to start the new
year right and call 720 on the tene-
phone whenever they are planning any
public event.

BOwdOin to Have
One Semester Rule
Governing Athletics

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
Brunswick, Me-. Dec. 21.-An-
nouncement was made by Austin H.
MacCormick, alumni secretary at
Bowdoin College, that the Athletic
Council had voted to adopt q rule
preventing freshmen from repre-
senting the college in athletics dur
ing the first semester of the college
year, the rule to be effective next
fall. This rule will especially af-
feet the football and cross-country
teams. which will no longer have
the services of freshmen. Nearly
half of the hockey schedule also
comes during the last month Of the
first semester, which ends late in
January.
The passage Of a one-year or a
one-semester rule has been under
consideration at Bowdoin for some
time. The purpose Of such a rule
is to enable freshmen to get firmly
taking up varsity athletics, and it is
believed that restrictions on the first
half-year will ensure that
Although the University Of Maine,
with its large student body, adopted
a freshman rule last year, none of
the other three Maine colleges was
ready to bar freshmen from varsity
athletics unless the others would do
the same.
At recent conference the three
presidents, Stills of Bowdoin, Roberts
of Colby and Gray of Bates. agreed
that their colleges were ready to
adopt a one-semester freshman rule.
Each president agreed to recon-
mend the adoption of the rule in his
college as soon as possible. Bow
dom, being in session at this time,
took immediate action and passed
the new ruling. While the action
of the Bowdoin Athletic Council
was not made contingent on similar
action by Colby and Bates, it is ex-
pected that their action will follow.
A short schedule will be planned
for the freshman football team at
Bowdoin and the present system OF
compulsory athletics for freshmen
will be continued. Under this sys-
tenn a man may choose football,
baseball, track, golf. or tennis and
he receives competent instruction in
the sport he chooses. This system
furnishes a desirable amount of ex-
ercise without making athletics the
absorbing interest of the freshman's
first half-year.
