full. and always feel out of place
when with boys. How can I
overcome this? l don't think I
can ever love another boy. be-
cause I still love the one I am
telling you about. What shall
do about it, forget him, if
possible?
OLD-FASHIONED.
I think you've let yourself
dwell too much on the case
of your baShful friend who
breaks his dates. A good many
boys act this way to judge from
the number of similar letters 1
get from girls. ShyneSs-lazi-
ness-and not very good man
ners all contribute to such
neglect of obligation. I'm afraid.
You can, of course, cut
young man who treats you this
way out of your life, but the
process will probably hurt you
worse than it does him.
don't believe I'd stop speaking
to this boy because that shows
how deeply you've been hurt.
Why not try little indiffer-
ence-joke him a little about
his date-breaking propenSities,
don't take him so seriously.

Cecile succumbs

She wore a dress of black
chiffon, laviShly printed with
flaring red and green and or
child flowers. The effect of this
was to heighten the dead white
of her face and throat and turn
her eyes to ice-green. Her long,
taffy-colored hair was combed
sleekly back and bound into a
French twist. Her lips were the
usual startling and unconvinc
ing red.
To Tom she was more aston
ishly artificial than ever, re-
minding him of the featurelesS
and futuristic clothing models
he had noticed in the large
shops down town.
Cecile sank boneleSsly upon
the divan beside him.

OUR RHYMING
OPTIMIST
By Aline MichaeIis-

A Bird in a Cage
Who would wish for bird
in a cage, denied
The forests so thick and the
plains so wide?
1t is out of the depths of the
woodland green
Or up from the meadows
emerald sheen
That the joyous song of the
birds should float
To the sky's vast arch from
each golden throat.
A birds wide wings, to be
strong, must be
Bound by no bars, but always
free.
No bird in a cage can ever
know
The tides of rapture that
strongly flow
Through the notes of the wild
bird, Winging on
Into the opalescent dawn,
Or calling at dusk to his mate
afar
Under a single silver star.
A birds brave heart, to be
glad, must go
Like the winds of heaven that
freely blow.

who was in a bunk.
That's the Spic who's takin'
Butch's place hes all right.
No speak English"
Kent recognized the man who
had passed him the knife at
the messhall table. He trem-
bled. The Mexican turned his
head and looked first at Kent,
then at Morgan, when he heard
their voices, then he sighed and
pillowed his head in his arms.
Morgan, humming all the while,
began to rummage in his bunk
for his tobacco cache.
Gee. I'd love to meet that
old gang of mine" he sang,
ruthlessly.
Kent leaned against the edge
of the bunk. looking out the cell
door. Directly behind him was
Morgan'S blouse. Kent watched
his opportunity out of the cor
ner OF his eye and when Nor
gan's giggling back was turned,
he sneaked out his knife and
slinped it into the inner pocket
of his bunkie's coat. At that in
slant Morgan wheeled and Kent
nearly collapsed from fright.
But, without noticing him, Nor
gan went to the door of the cell
and called to Sandy, the guard.
DO me a favor, Sandy" he
urged They won't let me tell
my pal. Butch, good-bv. Here's
a bunch of smokes. Hold them
for him, will you?"
Sure" agreed Sandy. taking
the tobacco.
Morgan turned a boyishly
cStatic look on Kent.

Kent wheeled and crawled
into his bunk.
Just then they heard Sandy's
voice without:

Gee. they're goin' to frisk the
cells-luckv Butch amt here

Come on-out!"
Kent rolled from his bunk.
Morgan nudged the MEXICAN
and the three went outside.

"Nothin' on me, captain"
smiled Morgan.
Wallace came out with Nor
gan's coat.
This yours?" he asked.
"Yes-but I'm giving it back
to the State" Morgan chuckled.
Wallace stuck his hand into the
inner pocket and Withdrew the
knife. Morgan looked at it in
an uncomprehending way. Kent
turned his head. The Mexican's
eyes stood out like eggs. Nor
gan looked at Wallace, then at
Sandy-and then toward Kent.
You dirty, yellow little louse!"
he cried, making a lunge at
Kent. He dug his thumb-ends
deep into the boys neck.
Help! He's killing mem
Kent choked and fought to re-
lease the others hand.

Wallace and the two guards
tore Morgan off. They pinioned
him against the cell door.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am a girl 20 years of age.
I have no boy friends. I went
with one boy for a while, but
he was queer. If we had a date
for a certain night and he had
to work that night, he would
not call or get in touch with
me and tell me so. I often over
looked this fact. but now I
know it was a mistake, also
sometimes when I saw him on
the street he would fail to
speak. He is awful bashful and
his sister says he does the same
with all girls, but it hurts me
for him to act so.
1 guess it is needless for me
to tell you that I love him.
l am always thinking about
him. When he went out with
me he said he loved me. Do
YOU think he could have cared
when he acted so?
I am old-fashioned and do
not like to kiss and pet, and
therefore am not asked out
much. What is wrong with me?
I am not ugly. Don't boys like

When Tom climbed the front
steps of the Parker home and
asked for Mrs. Gleason, Cecile
sent back word that she was
not we'll and asked to be ex-
cuSed.
Tom checked a grim smile.
He had never been a favorite
with Cecile; still less so, he
imagined, since he had been
attentive to Ardeth.
He drew a card from his
pocket and wrote on the back.
Replacing it on the buffers
tray, he directed, Take that

that I will await her"
He stepped into small,

Il think, sir, Morgan's got a

He entered the cellhouSe.
Wallace looked after him a bit
puzzled, a bit skeptical, a bit
donic grin on his mug, a leer
suspicious. But Oliver, a sar-
of triumph. came along just
then and the two men ex-
changed a glance Of profound
understanding. Wallace gave
an almost perceptible nod of
his head.

Cecile's eyes had narrowed as

long white hands. Her muffled

Harsh Words

,Kent's tone was a sneer. But
Morgan was injubilant spirits.
He could not be offended now.
He began to whistle softly.
Il won't sock you on the
kisser, Kid. I feel too great.
Pull yourself together, an
pray"
That's easy enough for you
to say" Kent's voice had chang
ed. He began to blubber now.
you are going out! You can
talk like that. You are not
just a crook-you're a babbit-
to talk like that. Pull myself
together and-pray!"
The whistle blew for the rec
reation period. The prisoners
stood back from their work
and formed into line to lock
step out for a few minutes
breath of fresh air. Kent, who
fell in behind Morgan. clutch
ed at the knife he had in his
blouse, the knife he had taken
earlier in the day from the
scurvy Mex after Butch had
"ditched" it. Kent had found
no time yet to dispose of the
knife, and right now he
touched it lovingly, careSsingly,
as his sodden, sullen gaze
rested on the nape of Morgan's
neck. But Kent was no killer.
In the recreation yard he
isolated himself. Morgan was
gleefully telling the others of
his good fortune. Kent visited
maledictionS on him beneath
his breath. An unearthly bit
terness against the man-this
man who was going free
scared his soul. Why should he,
a crook, be allowed to go forth
to rob and murder? 1t was
foul. fiendish injustice.

much of our own making. Cor

lungs, will produce chest de-
velopment. These habits add to

women have ceased to believe
that cutting makes the hair
grow thicker. Foolish notion.
If cutting acted as tonic
there wouldn't be any bald
headed men. Cutting does pre-
ciSely nothing to the growth of
the hair. Short hair has one
advantage; it can be washed
more thoroughly and more con.
veniently. Short hair is better
ventilated than long hair. That
counts.

not overlook the inner surfaces.
They should be brushed from

Orris root, powdered. is the
common medium for the dry
shampoo, although the new
notion is to combine it. equal

Fuller's earth. Both these sub
