A Unanimous Decision.

Now YOU be careful Charlie.

"Awright."
Charlie departed as lightly as heavy

board went in with a terrific splash

Charlie gingerly advanced and
launched his shingle. The two ships
rode out on the troubled waters side

Charlie ran for long branch lying
by the edge of the pond and poked
his Nancy Lee free and gave her
shove toward the open sea. The race
was on. Round and round the pond
they dashed. splashing in over their

Charlie saw q chance to tack and

instant, then splashed face down in
the midst of the muddy sea.
Dripping and shivering he arrived
before his startled mother. What

I tell you to stay away from there?
Why don't you mind me? Want to
get yourself drowned? Want to die
Of pneumonia? Quick get those we&
things off and you'll get a hot bath
and you'll stay in bed for the rest of
this day. You are certainly the worst,
the very worst. Such a mess. Stop
your crying. It's me that ought to

Charlie was soon in bed wrapped in
warm clothing and blankets and quilts

SHREWSBURY, n. J. :.
What do you consider the duty of
thC Iii ISlIdI StiuICI1 ol EAHlGIlCd
toward the immigrants? Are we
performing that duty? Ii not, what
should be done to prevent the de-
velopment of such men as Trotsky
within our borders?
Answer-The first duty of the
Christian Church in America to the
immigrant is to look upon him as a
human being redeemed by the Lord
of all life.
Her second duty is to aid in safe
guarding those basic ideals of JUS
tice and humanity which this Repub-
lie is pledged to maintain.
In the discharge of her first duty
the church should repudiate all be-
littling distinctions arbitrarily drawn
between the alien and the citizen.
She must accord TO every newcomer
the treatment which challenges the
best and not the worst in him and
stimulates his sense of worth and
dignity.
In the discharge of her second duty
the church should support the legal
restrictions imposed upon immigra-
ton which impairs the national
morale and efficiency.
1t is far more important to pre-
serve this Republics mission to
mankind than it is to open it's doors
to detrimental groups of foreigners
under the spacious pleas of hospi-
tality.
Trotsky was not developed in
America. He is European product,
and never has been in sympathy
with American ideas or institutions.
You must look to the bitter des-
potisms of Central Europe and of
Russia for the original breeding
grounds of socialism and it's radical
forms in communism.

Pockets are appearing in new
guises. We might use legal
rhraseolosy and call them acces-
sories To the fact. They certainly are
accessories. that is a fact, for they
are used TO ornament NO more sub
Stantial a thing than q tilmy scarf.
They can also be used on heavier
scarfs. but sheerness does not bar
them from being used on the dia-
phanous neckWear
The way these pockets are intro
duced is intriguing. At first they ap-
pear 10 be part of the trimming
merely. and not pockets at all How
ever in them are SlilnpSed frills OF
handkerchiefs. Undoubtedly one rea-
son for this use of the pocket is TO
disport the fascinating handkerchiefs
that are like fragile blossoms or wiSpS
of foliage. They may have exquisite
lace borders or be edged with dainty
embroidery in colors that blend raw
ishingly with the tones of the scarf.
Find the Pocket.
The position of pockets on scarfs
is variable Sometimes it is on one
end of the scarf and is introduced
into the border trimming, which is
frequently of gold or silver leather

Just Hanging On.

It's the dreariest business in the
world-just hanging on. hoping
| against hope that something all
wrong will turn out to be right IN
! the end.
| It's the most thankless job In the
! world, too-and yet lots of you poor
girls refuse to let go, refuse to give
up hope until you've wasted the best
! part Of your lives, and it's too late 10
start something new.
Louise has been in love with Perry
| for three years. And to do him
credit, he's been in love with her, too
hasn't ever cared for another girl
or been unfaithful to her in any way.
Yet, in those three years, he's made
her just about as unhappy as it's pos
sible for one human being to make
! another.
Perry isn't the steady, reliable.

superiors-and presto, he finds him.
self on the street out OF work.
| He accepts all his dismissals with
the blandesr good nature. reports to
Louise that he's among the unem
ployed. and cheerfully goes about get
ting something else to do.
Time after time, he's repented ana
promised to stick to whatever post
he's given. Time after time, his prom
ises are broken and Louise, with her
hope chest full to overfiowing. and
her plans for the wedding all but
complete, has to fold her hands back
and wait.
She's done everything she could for
him-saved his money, helped him to
get new jobs, sent him away from
her to try his luck in a new city
and always he's come trailing back
failure.
Still she writes to me bravely that
she won't give him up. For IL she de-
serts him, he'll have no one in the
world to look after him, and he'll
just end up a complete wreck.
It's all very noble and beautiful
this sacrifice on Louise's part, but it's
going to ruin her life. and 1t won't do
much good in the end.
If he's a drifter now. after three
years. of her continued pleadings and
urgings, he'll probably be drifter all
his life.
She's given him fair chance-and

him to persevere and work.
It's useless for her to hope further.
There's no point in her hanging on.
She knows him thoroughly for what
he is. And though it may sound
heartless to say SO. she ought to give
him the air.
She's got her own life to live. She
| mustn't give 1t up for the sake of
worthless drifter.
She may think now with a senti-
| mental rush of feeling that she loves
him enough to stand for almost any
thing. but after years of married life
she won't love the undependable, ir
| responsible husband who won't pro-
vide for her.
When you find yourself just hang
ing on, hoping for something that
your common sense tells you can't
possibly happen, it's time to pull up
short and stop waiting.
