She would see the truth flash

It she would turn haughtily ana
leave without another word.
But if he hadn't? If he was
really eating up his heart with
hunger for her-oh then--why.
then they would have love; love
40 ineffably dear and beautiful.
Love that transcends all joy ana
is worth ell pain; that turns It's
face with glad, unreckoning brav-

into sacrifice and battle--that
kind of love that brings a shine

She would throw aside every

love into her soul. She would

from wave which nearly caught
him as it rolled in from the At

coast.
So we walked on and Bunny
hoped ON beside us. Suddenly
he stopped stock-still, elevated
his ears to their greatest height
and twitched his whiskers vigor-
ously.
What's up?" / asked.
Feet" replied Bunny.
Now, Bunny's answers are al
ways queer, so I waited a minute
and then watched the little rab-
bit.
He gave a leap and bound
and before we knew it he was
standing quite a distance ahead
OF US, beckOning us to hurry.
Needless to say we put on all
steam and ran down the beach
to where Bunny stood.
What do you think was there.

MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ am twenty-one years OF
age and have had several
admirers, but somehow could not
care for them. Now have met
the man who does appeal to me,
but I do not know how can win
him.
He lives in the same house l
do. My mother and his are the
best of friends. Our fathers are
also pretty well acquainted. /
speak to this young man occa-
sionally and he always manages
to Joke with me as we'll as COM
pliment me on my looks. But
that only happens when I come
down to his apartment, which
do often-of course, always hav-
ing some excuse, so that it may
not appear that / come to see
him.
What can / do to make this
man care Tor me? / think he
does care a little, but ne never
said so and never as yet has
asked me to go out with him,
GIRL FROM NEW JERSEY
THERE is no way of forcing a
u man to love you. If he does
care for you, it will be for your
natural, sweet self, not because
of any tricks or scheming on
your part to win him.
But unless you wish to drive
him away and destroy any in
terest he may feel in you, don't
run after him or find excuses for
calling at his home Let him take
the initiative.

CATHOLIC COUNCIL
NEEDS DISCUSSED
Mems Body Should Work to
Strengthen Self. Benson
Declares.

Plans for strenethenine the work
inc power and the finances of the
National Council of Catholic Men were
discussed AT the special conference of
l"rmen al the La Favette Hotel this
morning.
Admiral Benson. retiring president.
explained the reasons for calling the
conference. and gave a brief outline of
the nrsa nizatiOn. He said that an
edict from Rome in 1922 calling for \
cessat tiOn Of activities on the part Of
the council nearly killed the society
a that time. Since then there has
been strange and uneXplainable
apathy on the part of the members
when any work is "a he done. he said.
He went on 10 say thai the finances of
the council have heen in such 4 bad
condition rs 10 make Impossible any
further work along the lines that had
been laid out.
No Relief Offered.
He pointed out that while the
Hiera rchy has been very attentive to
any complaints made by the council ~
20 its poor fina ncial condition. il ap-
parently has been unable to provide
relief. He added that instead Of the
y. e. G. NJ. being a leader among the
Catholic orga nizations it is merely a
follower and will continue to he so
until the members make mp their
minds to get out and work for the de-
sired ends.
Walter T. Johnson the newly
elected president who presided over
ductory address. He explained the
machinery of the orGaniza ation and
also said that the council was in
such bad way fina ncially because
the dues were very small and the
Hierarchy was not giving them money
as it did to other Catholic societies.
The Catholic men of America
stand like an army on the defensive
against their enemies instead of TAX
ing the offensive as they should" he
said. He deplored the fact that -
per cent Of the Catholic men in this
country do not belong to any Catho-
lie orga nization other than the
church. He urged that the delegates
get out after these men as one pos.
sihle solution Of the difficulties sur
rounding the orGa MIA tion.
Explains Objective.
He added that. as many of. the
Catholics do not understand the or
ga MIA ton. the delegates should en-
phasize the fact that the y. G. G. VI.
seeks only to unity Catholic thought
expression and action in this country
The rest of the meeting was de-
voted to general discussion by the
delegates Of methods for doing away
with existing bad conditions and the
offering Of suggestions as to new
methods Of conducting the business
of the council.
The president will take these sug.
gestions under considera tion and at
b
he starts his administration
This meeting marks the end of the
convention. although many of the
delegates will stay over for the
testimonial banquet To he given
Admiral Benson tonight.
