DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
VIII you please give me some
information regarding wedding

I have a stepfather and have
for the past three years been
living in a town other than

not know the meaning Of the
announcement using my STEP
fathers name, as they do not
know my parents.
What shall I do?
READER.
The surprise Of your friends
at receiving such an announce
ment need not worry you for
the wording Of the announce
ment would explain that. II
you are fond of your stepfather
and wish to give him the honor,
with your mother, of making
this important announcement,
this is by far the best form.
Then the announcement would
read:

the marriage of their daughter.

Indeed, the brides family do
send a wedding invitation to the
mother Of the groom. This in

TWENTY NINTH INSTALLMENT.

" ILEEN had bought the house on

she and Missile and, Stella had
IL lived-for the Red Cross. Mis-
sic went to work there. She sat
all day, among the other women. To
her they were all mothers, and the
firnsy piles of blessings that rose on
the tables were the barricades they
we're erecting-all they could erect
now-between their boys and harm.
When Missile went home in the eve

beth there. The girl was thin and
tense. Missile was always tired, but
she would take her in, try to talk to
her.

Missile would sit there trying to make
talk; between her and this girl of IT
there was a gulf neither could bridge
but she felt that Mary Elizabeth was
durnbly reaching out to her. She must
not fail her.
Sometimes Missile evaded the girl.
And as work piled up occasionally she
spent the night in the little house. She
had had cot bed placed in Stella's
old room. She would move about the
building in her white uniform with her
blue veil, clearing up the days dis
order, preparing for the next day. But
after she had lain down it was full of
ghosts; it was as though all the lives
lived there had left their imprint on 1t.
She could hear Stellas rocker, light
laughter. signs and groans. But when
she slept 1t was to dream of Eddie in a
trench, with shells bursting around him.
Or he was crawling out over the lip
of the trench with his gun in his hand,
bayonet fixed, eyes staring toward an
enemy that waited to kill.
She always saw him alone. 1t was
Eddie's war. Eddie was fighting the
war.
When the armistice came and she
knew he was still safe, she could not
believe it. She felt numbed, beyond
emotion.
She did not go alone to see Eddie
come home. Bands playing flags way-
ing, triumphal arches in the streets

KICKER
Continued from First Pagel

nesota and Walsh of Montana
whose voting for the Marketing
Act was a gesture to catch the
farmers vote.
Ricker's speech was decidedly of
a reactionary character. His chief
concern was that the farmers
should ship their grain thru the
F. u. Terminal Association, which
charges the same commission as
the private grain houses, but pays
a patronage tax. The profits from
the business are supposed to go
towards education but the farmers
might well beg to be saved from
the brand of education Mr.. Kicker
handed out last Saturday.
The only speech that struck a
militant note was the brief talk
delivered by Jerry Edwards of
North Dakota, son-in-law of C. c..
Talbot, president of the Farmers
Union of North Dakota.
Young Edwards called for soli-
darity and class-consciousness on
the part of the farmers. He stat
ed that out of the $4,000 farmers
IN North Dalrote, 10000 ir1Ji their
sarnls mortgaged and subject TO
