had to admit to herself the
next second that she did like
him-too well for her own
peace of mind.
In the building lobby, she
cast a lingering glance on the
hurrying occupants. Tony was
not among them.
The grill around the corner
now. Dennis would be waiting.
Good to see him. She Rugged
herself with delight. Mother
must not know of their meet
ing, mother would not know.
At the grill she saw no one
that resembled Dennis. He
might be inside. A quick
glance told her he had not
come yet. so she decided to go
in and reserve a table. She
had sat down, and was taking
off her coat, when she saw Den
MS coming toward her. He
seemed the same, and yet
strangely changed. There was
a. new glad light in his eyes
she couldn't quite place, look
that made his face seem hap
pier, more contented. His
black head was streaked with
gray at the temples, gray that
only made him younger, more
boyish. Anyone else but Den
mis-. it would have made ma
ture, middle-aged.

meet Myrna," Dennis was gig

The girl standing behind

and Dee took it. Her hand
shake was cordial. After all
this was Myrna, and Dennis
loved her.
She Didn't Care
care you going to be here
long?" Dee asked. Good if
she saw Dennis a lot. She
wondered now how she had
gotten along without him.
Other girls probably would be
bothered about Myrna. Not
she. Perhaps it was because
she had always understood
Dennis so we'll. and knew how
mismated he and mother
were. Perhaps it was because
she was like Myrna, too, only
not so still, not quite so
calm. =.

ber. Nancy was the phone girl,
and Dee had asked her to be
sure and get any message that
came for her. Mr.. Likely didn't
want his girls called during busi-
ness hours, but it was easy to
pretend you were talking on
business for him. All the girls
did.
Then not to see Tony all
week. That was terrible. Every
day she had looked for him, and
twice had walked downstairs
from the tenth floor to Cul-
bert's on the third. Neither
time had she seen him. Every
morning, noon and night for a
week, she had hoped she might
see him-just to speak to him.
Didn't Like Him
Dee's face was even Soberer
when she thought of this. Her
head raised defiantly. She sup
posed he did. Well, she didn't
like him anyway. However, she

CHAPTER 4

OAAAI En-
The big clock in the outer
office of the Likely Insurance
Co. pointed black hands to IL.
Several girls arose quickly, took
bags from their desks and
walked quietly to lockers which
were ranged against the inner
wall, took their coats and hats
as quietly, and walked out of
the room. Mr.. Likely didn't
like a fuss when you went to
lunch. He didn't like you to go
until IL or l, if your time was
l, and wanted you to go then
as softly as you could.
Even if the clouded glass door
to his private office was closed,
he knew somehow what every
one of his dozen girl typist was
doing. Uncanny, Mr.. Likely
was. Eyes in the back of his
head, the girls always said. No
easy man to work for, but Jobs
were scarce, and his were as
good as any other.
No noise in the office at any
time. Even the typewriters were
of the silent variety that hum
med along, singing more to
themselves than anything else.
The girl at the switchboard
had a quiet, we'll, modulated
voice, which she controlled at
all times, no matter what hap

daughter together.
There was a little silence and
then Myrna spoke again. 1T is
a terrible thing to go away
with the man you love-terri-
BILE. But I'm glad I did it My
friends-my people will have
nothing to do with me, but
nothing matters but Dennis.
Nothing matters anyway but
the man you love. Remember
that. If you love him we'll

see. You understand better
than any of the others. He told

happy now"
She looked up at him fondly
when he came back to the table.
Dennis was a dear.

have loved a young man for
year and l still do. but
don't think he cares FOR me.
He makes dates with me but
does not keep them. He says
he loves me. but don't believe
he does. I'd do anything for
him. 1 deny myself all that
young girl of my age should
enjoy. I am Is years old. I
never go out, but with him.
If I talk to another boy, he
gets terribly jealous. He is plan
ming to go to Europe for a
vacation. He says he is COM
ing back in three months, but I
don't believe him. What should
I do? Do you think I ought
to go out and enjoy myself?"
LONESOME AND BLUE.
It seems to me that the young
man is too sure of you and may
be bored because you've let your
self become an echo Of his
moods. Nothing could be more
of a mistake than to become
"yesser" in a mistaken attempt
to achieve popularity. If you &C
cept date te-breaking as a matter
of course, there is no incentive
on the date-breaker's part to
treat you better. And honestly,
don't you think at Is you're a
wee bit young to take such a
headlong plunge into romance
as you're taking? Be some
thing, amount to something,

wasting precious time and youth

boy. Yes, by all means culti-

Your Health
and Diet
By DIR. Logan Clendening


The subject of vegetarianism
is always discussed with heat.
It does not seem to lend itself
, to a calm and judicious consid-
Grafton. Both sides of the con-
troversy begin to call each other
names. and the air loses the
calm necessary for scientific
truth.
It is pretty hard at this time
of year, when corn on the cob,
and new potatoes. and new peas,
and beans, and strawberries, are
coming into market, to view
vegetarianiSm with complete
disfavor. My advice is to be a
vegetarian during June and
July, and to more or less lapse
from the strict path during the
remainder Of the year.
Never Been Practiced
Strict vegetarianism has, of
course, never been practiced by
any human being. Even Ber-
nard Shaw and Upton Sinclair
got some milk while they were
young. That accounts, in my
opinion, for Man and Super
man." although I am not sure
what accounts for the novels Of
Mr.. Sinclair.
There are, as you probably
know, several kinds of vegetar-
ians. The extremists believe in
eating only fruit and nuts.
Their theory is that food grown
away from contact with the
earth, ripening in the pure air
and sunshine, out towards the
sky and the clouds, must par
take of some of those heavenly
qualities and be food for the
soul. It all sounds very poeti-
cal, but it is awfully tough on
the disposition.
Cruel To Animals
The lacto-ovo-vegetarians do
not eat meat-first, because it
seems cruel to them to sacri-
flee animals for that purpose
and, secondly, because they
think meat is unwholesome
and tends to physical and
moral degeneration. But they
allow eggs and milk and dairy
products generally.
They are wise in this be-
cause it is difficult for most
human digestive tracts to func-
ton economically without some
animal protein. Animal forms
of protein are more easily di-
gested and absorbed into the
body structure than are vege-
table proteins. The body must
have some protein and it is,
of course, possible to obtain it
from certain vegetables such
as beans and peas and grains
in considerable quantities, but
j. is not easy for the human
digestive tract to convert this
form of protein into utilizable
material.
Test On Rats
The most carefully conducted
experiments on vegetarian
diet for carnivorous or omni-
1orouS animals were those of
Slonaker, who tried to bring
up rats on a strictly vegetarian
diet. These cnimalS grew well
for a time, but never got big
ger than about three-fifths the
size of rats fed on a general
diet. The vegetarian rats lived.
on the average. SIS days. while
the others lived 1920 days.

TROUBLED.
If you've met the ideal girl
and she tells you she doesn't
love you enough to marry you,
there's really nothing t. do but
be patient and wait till your
fidelity and winning ways"
bring about a change of mind
on her part.
AS for the other girl-there's
no law in this country which
compels you to visit a girl you
don't care to see. I don't cutie
understand her insisting, unless
she has some claim on you.

A mans winter loves, like his
winter hat, may be carried over
from year to year; but his sum-
mer love, like his bathing suit,
is just a one-season affair, and
is usually faded and going to
pieces before that is half over.
Why does a bachelor always
feel so sorry for a spinster,
Just because she hasn't co.
somebody as selfish and tussy
as he is, to coddle, pick up
after and wait up for nights?
There is nothing really NOR
ally wrong about these bare
backs and skin-tight bathing
suits on the beach; they are
just aesthetically sinful.
A little applesauce, like liquor,
may stimulate mans love;
but feeding him too much
merely gives him indigestion OF
the vanity and makes him won
der why he should waste all
his charms on simple little
thing like you.
The most useful book to give
a bride is not a cookbook, but
a book of philosophy.
In the average mans nature,
there is somewhere an old, per-
verse streak. which makes him
prefer a little bit of the wrong
woman's love to all the right
woman's devotion.
Somehow, a woman's mental
charms never seem to outweigh
a 175-pounds avoirdupois.

A Charming Expression of
Appreciation


Appreciation
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
l. Recently both my sister
and became engaged. My
employer, knowing my sister by
sight only, came to our engage
ment party and brought us
each gift. His wife invited
us to dinner, and wanting to
show our appreciation, my sis
ter's fiance and my fiance sent
her a bouquet of flowers. If
the dinner was given in orr
honor, was it correct? If it was
not given especially in our
honor, was it correct?
2. When invited to dinner, is
it customary to bring candy or
send flowers? S. B.
l. In either case, this was a
fine, Well-bred gesture for your
fiance and your sisters fiance
to make. You should both be
proud of them for their charm
ing plan of showing to your
employer how much they appre-
ciated the courtesy shown to
you and your sister.
2. 1t is not customary, but 1t
is always a charming thing to
do. Especially for gentlemen,
who are not, perhaps. able to
return such invitations often,
or at all. Then it is a fine
habit for them to acquire, this
sending or bringing to the
hostess a corsage, or flowers for
the table, or a handsome box
of candy.
