CHAPTER XVII

Mrs Farrell was sitting up in
bed, eating milk toast from a
large soup plate. She had on
Q pink wool hug-me-tight. Her
cheeks were pink and Mary
Faith thought she had never
seen her looking so we'll.
Kim sat down on the edge Of
the bed.
well, Mother, I'm sorry to
find you sick like this" He
reached for her hand but she
drew it away.
I'm sorry about a few things,
myself" she said bitterly. I'm
sorry that you thought you had
to sneak away to get married.
Just think Of Tiny only son
telegraphing me to say that he
had just been married! If that
wasn't an insult, nothing was
ever an INSULT"
She shot a glance at Aunt
Ella who was standing at the
foot Of the bed beside Mary
Faith.
"And your Aunt Ella helping
you to deceive me-" She raped
the words out. Turning her
house over to you for your hon.
eymoon without letting me know
a thing about it! I'm sure I
don't know what I've ever done
that my own son and my own
sister should treat me the way
they have"
Kim's eyebrows came together
in a Scowl. He stood UP and
looked down at his mother, his
hands in his pockets.
You know why I didn't tell
you 1 was going to marry Mary
Faith, Mother" he said irritably.
LAST fall we did tell you we in
tended to be married-and you
kicked up such a row about it
that this time we decided to get
married first and break the
news to you later-and the way
you're acting now proves that
we were right"
Is Not Surprised
His mother set her soup plate
down on the table beside her
bed before she answered him.
well, Kimberley, you never
spoke to me like that before in
your life," she said slowly and
impressively. But I'm not sur
prised. I knew things would be
like this as soon as you brought
that girl into the house. You
know what they say-'My sons
my son till he takes him a
wife,"
Mary Faith did not wait to
hear any more. She turned and
went quietly out of the room,
closing the door Of it behind
her.
Kinl's bedroom was at the
end Of the hall. She carried
the suitcaSeS into it and
dropped down into a chair that
stood beside the big black wal
nut bed.
It was a cold and comfortless
sort of room, Between the win
dowS stood a handicapped
dresser with a cloudy mirror
hanging above it.

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

vantageS. Who knows but that
among the sisters, cousins or
auntS," of these, you may find
the perfect flower, blushing
unseen.
"Fears They Think Her Slow"
Dear Miss Fair Fairfax:
am "a and keeping house
for my father.
We get along we'll, but are
not very companionable. 1t
seems that I don't care for
any of the young men who get
serious with me, and the ones
I feel could care aren't in
terested in me. Some think
I am too "slow" because I
don't go in for being ultra
modern: but I don't mind
smoking, little drinking and
some petting, so don't think
I am terribly prudish. I am
wondering if my ideals" are
getting me anywhere.
DISCOURAGED.
This letter is characteristic
of scores which come to this
department. Nice" girls see
the moths fluttering toward
the bright lights and these
home girls imagine-that they
are missing all the good things
Of life. The return trip of the
moths from the bright lights
is not so dazzling, if the mice
girls" could but see it. To
one moth that makes the
grade, nine are broken and
singed beyond repair.
Any girl who, like my cor.
respondent, has a home these
troublesome days has a gold
mine. She should get people
around her, have a jolly little
Sunday night supper, waffle
parties; roll back the rugs and
dance to the victrola; put snap
into things; not let herself go
dead" wondering about other
girls.
Make the home a center in
which people enjoy themselves.
Hundreds of girls who write to
me are doomed to life in cheer
less hall bedrooms. That is q
genuine problem. But a girl
with a home-a real home
has a treasure with which she
can work miracles.
No One to Introduce Them
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm a girl in my teens, and
he is boy in his twenties,
and we live across the street
from each other. He has
looked at me more than once,
and I have looked at him more
than that, but neither of us
has ever spoken a word be-
cause we know we oughtn't to
speak without an introduction.
Please tell me if there is any
way Of knowing him.
RAMONA.
Congratulations on your for
bearance, my dear, in not
speaking to the young man BE-
fore you have been introduced.
But as you live across the
street from each other, certainly
there is some kind neighbor
who will have a heart and play
the part of go-between. Do
you happen to go to the same
Sunday school, club, church or
high school? Certainly there
is someone who will be able to
pronounce the magic words Of
an introduction to make you
both happy.

Procurement from capital of a
promise to maintain wages "as long
as it was possible to do so" and from
labor to refrain from industrial wage
disturbances.
Fostering of an agreement by
great utilities and industrial con-
Germs not to curtail activities, but to
accelerate employment.
Formulation of an increased gov
eminent building program, aug
mented by an administration

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 14.-Commun-
lists and unemployed held a meet
ing today on a street corner two
blocks from the Republican ma
tional convention as a substitute for
a demonstration" which police
said had been planned.
A crowd estimated by police at
5000 was harangued for more than
an hour by soap box orators.
When the meeting broke up,
groups from the crowd attempted
to move toward the convention
stadium.
Police drew lines, with men at
places nearly shoulder to shoulder,
half a block from the stadium, and
turned back the crowd without diff
f1culty or violence.
By.1 p. m. most of those who had
been looked upon as possible makers
of trouble, seemed to have scattered
and all was quiet outside the
stadium.
IF the Communists get within
two blocks of the stadium, it will be
because the police have forgotten
how to use their clubs" Lieutenant
Thomas Duffy in charge of the con-
vention police guard, said before the
gathering.
Speakers addressing the crowd
dwelt at length upon the 'iniquities
of capitalist government. They Bit
terly denounced President Hoover.

HOOVER SAVED COUNTRY

Keynoter Compares Presidents Stand

BU United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 14.-The Re-
publican national convention to-
day drew from President Hoover's
program of economic rehabilitation
its 1882 keynote.
Senator L. j. Dickinson of Iowa,
delivering the keynote speech. told
the assembled Republicans that Mr..
Hoover's constructive efforts alone
prevented depression from turning
to panic and economic rout.
He compared Mr.. Hoover's stand
against the depression to that of
Abraham Lincoln against the chal-
lenge, which, in 1861, threatened
the existence of the republic.
Great stress was laid upon the
Presidents financial measures, his
demand that the budget be bal
anced by levying higher taxes and
by government economy. Repub-
lican aid to agriculture, and the
efforts of Republican Presidents
for world disarmament.
No mention was made of prohi-
bition.
A demand was voiced, however,
that "gangdom, racketeering and
thuggery'' be stamped out.
To-day our nation is in the midst
of its most perilouS economic crisis, y

Of Columbia university, member

submission to the people of the
eighteenth amendment and declar-

The resolution was held in abey-
ance and was not read, at Buffers
own suggestion that it be taken up
later in the convention.
Ford Again Urges Hoover
Word was received in the stadium
that Henry Ford had reiterated his
belief that Herbert Hoover is the
best fitted man to be President. He
expressed this view in a United
Press interview several months ago
and it was reiterated in Detroit to-
day.
Chicago's former mayor, William
Hale Thompson, known as Big
Bill, the Builder" sauntered around
the convention floor a hulking
figure in light gray suit and shirt
and necktie of baby blue.
During the busy morning, several
delegations held state meetings.
Most important was that of Penn
sylvania, which broke deadlock
over the prohibition question with
a vote in favor of resubmission of
the eighteenth amendment.
