Variety of Interesting Subjects Discussed for Home Readn

I OF course, my dear Bee, 1 have no
valid reason for writing any of these
things to you. The only thing which
makes me think all is not right with
Leslie and her husband is the fac;
that be, poor man, seems dreadfully
worried over something. / know it
isn't money, for, being his secretary
and knowing all about his financial
affairs, can see that he is not in
debt. But l have heard him say many
times in the few days l have been
here that he wished he could afford
to give Leslie a new motor or some
other expensive thing / know she has
been accustomed to having.
He is a great big boy, Bee. open
hearted and open-handcd. quick to
anger and just as quick to acknowl-
edge his mistake. He is perfect
genius for advertising. l told him
this morning that he was wasting
his talents by working on a salary and
he seemed greatly pleased. Then mis-
face clouded as he volunteered the
information that he did not have
money enough to start in business for
himself. l should think Leslie would
ask her father to back her husband in
business.
Perhaps you think it is strange that
1 am talking so much about Mr..
Prescott and saying nothing about
Mrs. Prescott, but the fact is, have
not seen Leslie since arrived. /
wrote her a letter saying wanted
to put our acquaintance and friend
ship purely on business basis, and
have not heard from her. think
perhaps she was hurt by it. YOU know,
Bee, how impossible it is for EN-
ployers and employees to meet socially.
Don't say l am proud and foolish.
a, for ! know that better than you 1t
has been my greatest handicap in
life. My pride is easily hurt and
does not heal readily after it is hurt
/ think that was the great trouble
between Sam and me. He was al
ways picking my pride with his sa-
tirical speeches and then laughing at
my annoyance.
1 see that Paula Perier will be in
town tomorrow and with her is COM
ing Dick Summers. / am going 70
try and see him, and then will
write about him to you.
With much love, SALLY.

"Such a cooperative PLAN" Mrs.

"The ordinary tenant farmer ruins
the land and the improvements on the
farm. My tenants stay, help build up
their community and conserve the fer

The increasing prosperity of her
farmers is evidenced by the increas-
ing number Of automobiles, Mrs,
Martin says.
Before Mrs. Martin undertook "a

with my new boss, John Alden Pres
colt, whom you have met. ! think
Leslie certainly should be especially
happy in her married life, but some
way, back in my head, l have feel
ing that she isn't.
/ can't possibly think, however
that Mr.. Prescott is to blame. He
seems so frank and sincere and alto
gether pleasant. You know
haven't seen Leslie since before her
marriage. wonder if she has chang
ed. It is always a dangerous thing
for a very wealthy girl to marry a
poor man, you know.
/ have often wondered why Mr..
Hamilton did not settle a sum of
money upon Leslie when she married.
1t seems he had some old-fashioned
idea that every young man and wo-
man should live upon what the hus-
band could make. Modern fathers
forget that they have brought heir
daughters up to great luxury in
stead of making them Capable of liv-
ing On the small salary.

CLEVER TRICK IS
WORKED ON ROAD

PASADENA, Calf, Sept. s.
People who have been using the
Pacific Electric Railway as me-
dunn for returning overdue books
to the public library, in the future
must employ other means of evad-
ing the librarians fines.
For months the lost and found
department of the railway has beer
returning to the library books pick
ed up in street cars and buses. The
number gradually grew until one
mans time was chiefly occupied in
GAturning books from the car
barns. When railway officials
noticed that no one forgot to leave
any privately owned books on the
cars, they came to the conclusion
that they were being worked .
and announced that there would be
no more books returned to the
public library.
