Ralph went out Of my life because he
felt it was too hard to stay inland
on the outer edges. Now sickness has
swept him away-across the ocean.
He had chosen to go without tell
ing me of his illness. i cannot know
whether he kept silence because he
could not bear my pity, because he
did not want to worry me, or be-
cause he wished to keep his mind
free Of thoughts Of me-. But what
ever the motive for Ralph's silence.
L could not ignore il. | could not
follow him with a message that might
relieve my soul-at the cost of his
peace Of mind.

could | keep him out Of my thoughts.
Is he sick unto death? Is he worn
out from work-or loneliness?
These thoughts haunted me, and
my peace Of mind was not increased
by the pressure Of my other problem.
Pat and Jeanie suggested that the
way to keep Jim interested in me is
to make him aware of the fact that
other men are interested. l kept ask
ing myself over and over whether l
must keep Jim's love alive by making
him afraid to lose me-and | could
not decide whether or not love is
worth holding at this price.

Some Pointers
on Manners
BY Mrs. BeeCkman
Addressing a Wedding
Envelope.
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEEChMAN
When addressing a wedding invita-
ton envelope to widow with single
daughter. is it proper for the outer
envelope to read: Mrs. John Jones"
and the inner envelope Mrs. John
Jones and daughter Nary"
.. Is it proper for the groom TO
present my bridesmaids with their
bouquets or each of the groomsmen
r. s.
No. this would not be correct. The
best way is to send a separate invi-
tation to each one. Address the one
to the widow Mrs. John JONES' and
the one to her daughter, Miss Mary
JONES'
.. 1t is not correct for the grooms-
men to present the bouquets to your
bridesmaids. In giving the bouquets
to the bridal attendants only two
things are correct. The bride or her
family may give them. and this is
the usual way, since the bride plans
them to harmonic with the brides
maids costumes and the decorations
of the church. The other permissible
way is for the groom to give the bou-
quets. and he may do this if he and
the bride understand that he wishes
to have the privilege of showing a
special courtesy to the attendants of
his bride.

Yes or No?

same as that of the Mediterranean!
.. Is there any reason for the prac-
tice of treating cigars with X-rays!

more negroid than the modern negro?
(. Is there any explanation for the
fact that radio waves are not lost
from the earth's atmosphere but follow
around the surface OF the earth?
;. Does it injure or retard a young
child to learn two languages at once;
Answers to these questions may be
found
1. No. The average level of the
Red Sea is ten inches above the level
of the Mediterranean.
.. Yes. X-rays are used on cigars
to kill the eggs of the cigar worm
which destroys the tobacco. Heat or
gas kills the worm but spoils the fla
vor.
8. No. Anthropologists now think
that the ancestors of the negro race
were less negroid in character than
their descendants and more like the
white people.
4. Yes. Experiments made to study
the cause OF the aurora seem TO show
that there are large quantities OF
helium gas in the atmosphere far above
the earth's surface and that the ion
lied gases reflect radio waves hacl
TO the earth instead Of allowing then
