That's all I can say. You'll

Going With Tony
Pack her things! Why-oh,
yes. She was going with Tony,
some place. They hadn't even

seeing it's done, I'll have to

Dee looked anxiouSly at Babe
for sympathy. There was none
in her face. Only laughing dis
gust.
We'll. I might as we'll pack"
she said suddenly.
I'll go out to get a pack of
cigarettes" Tony exclaimed,
making for the door.
He was gone and she was
alone-mother was looking at
her again, disapprovingly.
Why did you do such a fool

Il love him, mother"
THAT makes no difference.
Why did you do it?" Dee

Dee said nothing. but an
angry light crept into her eyes.
Why did everybody say this?
The first thing? AS If it

IF you were going to run
off like this and get married,
why didn't you choose a man

How do you know Tony

He didn't ask you!"
II know it, silly. but that
doesn't make everything right.
I'm sorry for you."
Babe talking like that-on
her wedding day! But Babes
remark made her all the more
angry. She started jerking
things down from hangers in
the closet.
Soon Dee'S things were piled
on her bed. underclothes, shoes,
stockings, dresses. She was
shuffling through the chiffonier
to make sure she had every
thing.
Babe had quietly closed the
door and was smoking a ciga-

Silly, I say" she repeated.

with her packing.
She Should Worry

you marry Ray Forrest"
Babe laughed, short, quick
laugh. Dear, have no inten-

I love him, but I wouldn't

The Marry-Go-
Round
BY Helen Rowland
Love-Real or Synthetic?

LOve-Real or Synthetic:
The many letters which I
have received. since my diatribe
against the ungentle art of
petting, have convinced me
that the average Modern
doesn't know the difference be-
tween love-making and petting
or Gin very vulgar parlance)
"necking."
All these sweethearts and
husbands and wives, who write
me so seriously. assume that I
am just one of those ungath-
cred flowers in the garden of
love with only an academic
knowledge of the well-known
kiss. That I get all my infor-
nation about the tender pas
sion either at the movies or
through a spy-glass on a moon
lit beach.
Be that as it may, let me ex-
plain that the difference be-
tween love-making and petting
is not merely a difference of
words. but a very deep and es-
sential differentiation.
When you careSs anybody
whom you love-or think you
love it is E-MAKING.
When you kiss or maui any
body who happens to be just
a casual incident in your life
when you make just an eve
nings pastime of your love-
making-it is "petting," that
cheap modern sport.
That is not ALL the differ
ence-but it is the basic diff
ference. No man who actually
loved a wo2an could even
THINK of a tender evening
spent with her as "necking."
Now, I ask you-COULD he?
Even the savage has a tender
ness and Gelicacy of feeling for
the woman he happens to love
at the moment.
There is as much difference
between love-making and casual
petting as there is between a
cathedral organ and a funny
postcard"
Or as there is between Rem
brandt and funny postcard. )"
Or between a French dinner
with vintage champagne and a
hotdog sandwich.
Or between Monte Carlo on a
moonlight highland Coney Is
land on a Saturday afternoon.
Or between a cafe parfait
and an ice cream cone.
Or between a California moon
and a Japanese lantern.
Or between music and jazz!
And, of course, if ones taste
runs to funny postcards and
hot dogs and bootleg cocktails
and jazz. one just naturally
takes to casual petting.
But, in my heart, I believe
that most women want LOVE
and lovemaking-and would
cheerfully dispense with all this
cheap synthetic romance.
And men always give a wo-
nan what she wants and de-
nds. when they discover that
she will accept no substitute.

 F. s. Chase, president of the board of directors presented the diplomas and also delivered the annual ad- dress in which he reviewed the work of the past year. stating among other things that the receipts from pa- tients fell short over $S3,OO0 from meeting the expenses. The number of patients cared for amounted to 4,9S7.
 Diplomas were awarded to the following nurses: Elizabeth Gertrude Allen, Florine May Bird, Marjorie Fillmore Brinton, Elizabeth Cum ningham, Mildred Ida Daniels, Doris Elizabeth Large, Grace Louise Leg gett, Theresa May Mitchell, Annie Kathleen MacPherson, Anna Mar garet Poscavage, Dorothy Frances Prentiss, Thelma Lydia Rackham, Louise Emma Schildgen, Dorothea Elizabeth Schuster, Mildred Ger truQe WeuSe, Mllua barVlCkS, Nlola Margaret Beaulac, Mary Natowich, Edna Matthews, Gertrude Burma dette Oxley, Olga Janette Sobin, Evelyn Monahan St John.
 Miss Mary Natowich received the first prize for highest average in theory. Second prize for 'the best school spirit" was given to Miss Dor othea E. Schuster. Miss Doris E. Large was awarded the prize for the best senior essay.

Improvement of the quality of voice transmission in at least 25 Southern New England Telephone company exchanges will take place this year through the installation of loading coils which prevent distor- tion and loss of voice current. All of this work will be done on cable circuits serving suburban and rural territories, since 1t is in the less thickly populated areas that trouble due mostly to the long lengths of wire required to connect the sub scriber's telephone with the central office switchboard.
 While loading coils are used to improve voice transmission over ex- change circuits, they may also de- stroy the quality of transmission un- less they are spaced along the cir cult within very definite limits. The distance required between the load ing points is 6,000 feet or some- what more than a mile. With this arrangement the quality of the serv- ice to outlying territories approaches the level of that furnished in the cities. Use of large cable conductors is not economical so that loading coils, housed in metal cases that are fastened to poles or placed in man holes, are being installed. These coils reduce impairment of the voice by retarding loss of current.
 The use of loading coils on ex- change circuits is comparatively recent development in telephony, the
