Enjoying Good Time.

| Let me ask you this-you gals who
! long to step out every evening of your
| lives and break hearts and dance with
all the sheiks and paint the town red
, generally:
Do you actually enjoy yourselves
when you're out--do you enjoy the
good time for it's own sake?
Or are you like Beth, for instance?
| Seth goes to work, poor dear, which
is all that prevents her from having a
| date every minute Of the day.
She is slender, red-haired and pou.
lar.
She scurries away from the Office
for little tea dancing, hops into
| some ones low-slung racer, and is
whisked away home to dress for din
| ner at some smart club.
II possible, she gets rid of her din
ner escort, in order to go on dancing
| at 10 O'Clock with some one else.
This is true of Beth, and dozens Of
her kind who are living just that sort
OF life every day, and some of them,
bless their souls, enjoy it.
But now look at our heroine! Watch
her at the tea dance. She's dancing
with tall dark man who seems to be
fairly agile, and certainly crazy about
her.
Is she radiant with happiness? She
the stagline. Are they going to cut
in? Will she get a rush?
And when she leaves the afternoon
gathering she's miserable unless she's
made at least one date with a new
man.
Her old friends might drop out-she
wants to keep up new list. She
doesn't want to be left.
Then, at dinner, perhaps she's
rather peeved because so few people
she knows are there to see her in all
her glory.
What's the use Of dining out If there
aren't lots of acquaintances to admire
and stare?
Besides. she's bored at being taken
to VS.. She's been there several times
before and she's just dying to go to
the new cafe which opened the other
night.
1t is such fun to be able to tell all
the girls that you've already been to
the very latest club for dinner.
Later, dancing at the night club,
she looks eagerly for familiar faces.
She does want her friends to see
her In her new dress with Harold, who
is something of a catch.
AS the evening wears away, and
none of the crowd appears, she pouts.
She might just as well have stayed
home-nothing has happened right all
evening
Perhaps this sounds incredible to
some of you who are not so popular as
our Beth.
But. actually, the modern girl gets
in the habit of demanding more than
pleasure with each evenings enter
tainment.
And l caution you all to get the last
drop of enjoyment out of the gayeties
you're offered.
Don't keep planning for other eve
nings.
Don't strive to interest new men.
Don't think of the impression you're
making on your friends.
If you would enjoy life, take what
good times come your way with joy.
If you keep looking anxiously ahead
for more and more pleasure, you'll
lose what you have.

he always waited to see why he should
hide; and as a result once he was all
but caught by Redtail the Hawk. Yes,
sir. he was almost caught.
But it was not just their enemies
that Mother Grouse had to worry
about. She worried about the weather.
I suppose most mothers do worry over
the weather more or less. But this
Spring was rather wet Baby Grouse
cannot stand very much wet weather.
They are apt to sicken and die IL the
weather is wet too much at a time.
So Mother Grouse always had the
weather on her mind. She doesn't
mind 1t for herself. Any kind of
weather suits her. But for those
babies she wanted sunshine and dry
weather. Every time she saw a cloud
growing darker and darker she would
gather the children together and get
them under her to protect them. Or
she would lead them under the very
thickest hemlocks where the rain had
hard work to get through. And every
time one of those babies started to
run out in the rain she would cluck
and call 1t back. She certainly did
keep watchful eye on them during
the wet weather.
Now, for such hardy, vigorous par.
ents, baby Grouse are apt to be rather
delicate. Not all their enemies are
wearers of fur or feathers. Some of
their worst enemies are certain in.
sects. 1t would have been bad enough
with just two or three children, but
with 10 Of them, it is a wonder that
Mrs. Grouse didn't turn gray with
worry. She didn't even sleep good.
She was continually waking up to
make sure that her 10 worries were
all with her. OF course. Mr.. Grouse
was very proud of that family. but he
didn't have a great deal to do with it
and he did no worrying over those
babies. He left all that for Mrs.
Grouse. But somehow the babies
managed to escape all the dangers,
and pretty soon they began to show
real feathers and to begin to want
to try their little wings.
IT certainly shall be glad when
they are able to roost in a tree" said
Mrs. Grouse with a sigh. as she
watched them stretching their wings
one day.

CHAPTER v.
The Proposal.

Jean knew all the while that she
was mad, but she didn't care. Carried
away by her love for Conrad, a love
that was stimulated now by the wild
adulation that was sweeping the col
lege, she plunged ahead recklessly. re-
gardless of consequences.
The town was his that night, any
thing he asked would have been given
him. and even If Jean hadn't been
swept away by emotion, it was excit-
ing enough to be carried off by the
foot ball hero directly after the game.
Everything seemed dreamike, from
the time Conrad deliberately took her
away from Merton and bundled her
unceremoniOusly into a small open car
to the time when they arrived at a
quaint little inn on the outskirts of
the town.
He had said very little on the way
there, and Jean had sat in hypnotized
silence. But once ensconced at a small
table beside leaping fire. he had
leaned toward her. his eyes blazing
DO you still feel as you did last
night"
Yes" The word came in a whisper.
Then marry me; say you will"
"Of course" she breathed, her
cheeks hot, her eyes shy beneath the
fire of his.

proper watt" he went on unsteadily.
Il mean now. tonight"
She stared at him incredulously. The
very idea was breathtaking. To be
married like this when all her life she
had planned the details of her we'd
ding! To elope with man she had
only just met. Why. it was absurd
unthinkabe, and yet, even. as these
thoughts went darting through her
mind, she was dimly aware of the fact
that he would have his way.
With eager words he was playing
upon her Imagination.
After all, why should we wait
when we are so sure? want you
now, not six months from now. Why
should we try to hold our love to con.
ventional lines? 1t isn't that kind Of

SENATOR JAMES
GRIFFIN VISITS
SHERIDAN co.

Senator James Griffin, of Blaine
county, inspector and appraiser Of the
Federal Land Bank, was a visitor to
Plentywood Wednesday and Thursday
of this week. He was here on busi-
ness connected with the government
bank. He states that the state looks
better than it ever appeared to him
this time of the year and that the
crops seemed more advanced in Sher-
idan county than any place he visited.
The heavy rains that soaked this ter
ritory last Sunday and Monday were
general all over the state and had
done a great deal of good. Montana
is coming back with bang and he
predicted that this would in the fu-
ture be regarded as the greatest
grain producing state in the union.
The senator shook his head when
asked what he thought of the political
situation.
