them to her. And listening to these
accounts of Blanche's happiness was,
to Mary, Nike having salt rubbed in a
raw wound
Blanche was blissful, Philip was
perfect, they were divineIy happy, no
two persons had ever loved each other
SO much before. And so on. Places
and pastimes that had always been
mere names, conjuring up visions Of
delight, to be sure, but never within
the reach Of ANYONE we know were q
matter Of course to Blanche. Not that
Mary begrudged her that-she had,
from the beginning, rejoiced whole
heartedly In her cousins happiness
But didn't she deserve little happi-
ness, too2 Mary was thoroughly hu-
man and she was very intelligent.
She would have known how to squeeze
not only enjoyment, but education, out
of every drop of pleasure that she
could have had But this was not the
worst OF 1t. The man whom Blanche
loved, wanted to lavish all these good
things on her, while the man whom
she, Mary, loved, had neglected and
ignored her, and finally insulted her
and cast her from him. Mary listened
to Blanche's letters In silence, or said
merely, I'm glad she's having such
good time," in a low voice, but when
Violet left her alone again, she al
ways sat for time clenching and IN
clenching her hands, dry little sobs Of
agony rising in her throat.
But hardest of all-harder than fac
ing the village gossip, harder than
facing violet's complacence was fac
ing her own bruised pride, her own
accusing conscience Long ago-she
knew 1t only too well-she should
have told Paul that unless he mended
his ways their engagement must end.
She had evaded an issue which she
should have met. She had been q
coward. Because she feared losing
Paul, she had compromised with right,
and now she had lost him after all.

career this season. Matching sets
such as this are one of the smartest

the headgear which is most fetching.
However. the group illustrated does
not begin to tell the story Of plaids

of glory, one must vizualize the stun

made of soft woolens which are pat
termed in big bold plaids, the andre
plaiding being especially goodlooking.
The continued call for striking con-
trast, which is more than ever in
sistent for spring, has proved an urge
to designers to make UP either gor-
geous plaids or demure neutral checks
with plain material. Outstanding for
spring are the ensembles which top

she felt that she deserved her unhap-
piness, and this was more bitter than
anything else except the way in which
she had lost him. The thought of the
words Paul had spoken to her in the
ha1l that night after Blanche's we'd
ding, the memory of his heavy breath
and violent kisses, branded her with
shame She was cheapened, degraded
in her own eyes, that any man should
have dared to behave so to her, and
that was infinitely worse than being
cheapened and degraded in the eyes
of her family. Had she, after all, de-
served that, too?
In all those dreadful weeks, Mary
found only two sources of comfort,
besides the walks she took up Countess
hill to gain solitude, and the prayers
she managed, with shaken faith, to
say. The first of these sources was
Sylvia Gray. She was extremely fond
of Mary, and usually saw good deal
| of her, but she was not well enough
to do that now. The neighborly visit
ing back and forth had been to GER
tain degree interrupted. But one
afternoon, Sylvia phoned that she was
"having a pretty good day." and that
she wished Mary would bring her sew
ing and come over to supper.
1t was, as usual, hard for Mary to
break away from her family, but she
spread out an appetizing cold supper
on the table, covered it carefully, left
the kettle boiling for Seth's evening
cup of tea, and took the two little
boys to the barn for their father to
watch while he was milking. Seth did
not altogether approve of this arrange
ment, but as usual, he said little, and
she promised to be back early. She
stopped q minute at the Old Gray
homestead. where Mrs. Gray was sit
ting on her back porch, feeling in
stinctively that this kindly woman had
spoken of her less harshly than most
of her neighbors, and that she did not
need to shun her; then went down
the shady road that led to the little
brick cottage where Sylvia and Austin
lived. She found her lying in the
hammock on her deep and sheltered
piazza, looking, as always, supremely
lovely, but also very frail The ex-
preston on Sylvia's face shook Mary
for the first time from the thought of
her own troubles.

she asked. "Youll have just one. an

Tucked-in-Blouse Being
Revived by Designers

With the abandonment of the prin-
cess waisted skirt, Paris couturiers
seem to have revived the tucked-in
blouse. which languished for season,
or If the blouse is not tucked in, it
stops at the waistline just over the
skirt.
Because of the high neckline on SO
many, the style of fastening them at
the top of the back by short row of
buttons is a feature to be noticed, as
this permits the blouse to be slipped
off over the head.

EARN First for Family Food. :
GROWING EARLY PLANTS

CerLaln vegetable crops should be
started previous to the time of field
planting, either because the growing
season is short or because an early
crop is desirable. When weather and
soil conditions become favorable, the
plants are transplanted to the field.
These plants may be obtained in sew
eral ways.
Ii there is someone in the community
who makes business of growing such
plants, it is usually best to obtain them
from him. Usually his knowledge and
equipment will enable him to produce
better plants more economically than
the home gardener
II no such dealer is near, some kind
OF cooperative agreement may be
entered into whereby one individual
will grow the plants for the whole
neighborhood. Plants can be produced
in large quantities much better and
more economically than in smaller lots.
If the cooperating group is large enough,
the grower can afford to install and
maintain permanent hotbedS in which
he can segregate the various crops under
conditions which best meet their re-
quirements. He can also afford to give
them much more attention and care.
Provided neither of these ways are
available, then the gardener must grow
his own. Several methods may be en-
ployed. A small number of plants may
be started in a small flat or window
box, 3 to inches deep, and of a size
convenient to handle. An inch of
gravel should be placed in the bottom
of the box to insure drainage, the re-
mainder nearly filled with soil, the seed
Sown, and the box set in a warm place
in the light. When the plants are
from l to 2 inches high, they should be
transplanted into other boxes about
inches apart or into individual con-
tanners. Discarded tin cans may be
used. Further discussion of trans
plants will be taken up in a later
article
If larger quantities of plants are
required, some form of hotbed or cold
frame is very desirable. Complete in
formation on their construction and
use may be obtained free from the
Mailing Room, University Farm, st.
Paul. Minnesota bulletin 289 supplies
recent information on methods of sup
plying electric heat to hotbeds and is
obtainable from The Mailing Room.

MEDICINE
VENDORS FATTEN
ON DEPRESSION

A real depression disease has emerged
out of these hard times, according to
physicians of the Minnesota State
Medical Association. 1t is making the
fortune of manufacturers of stomach
tablets
The disease is plain stomach ache
caused by nervous strain, the doctors
say. It has always been with us, par
ticularly in the case of the nervous
woman who saddled herself with too
much work and the overworked business
man. Now it takes in may people who
used to be carefree before their money
disappeared and their jobs became in
secure.
Recent very interesting studies made
at the University of Minnesota have
shown that nervous strain causes an
excessive secretion of the gastric juices.
These juices in abnormal quantity
cause the familiar symptoms of gas,
burning and general discomfort.
Sometimes they send the sufferer to
the doctor sure that he has ulcers or
worse More often they send him
scurrying to the corner drugstore to
buy stomach tablets or bicarbonate of
soda. The makers of these simple mix
lures of soda and a little strychnine,
with perhaps a cathartic thrown in, are
coming money out of the results of
depression. At best their product offers
only temporary relief from the trouble"
Doctors. everywhere are learning that
many of the tough cases of stomach
trouble look much like serious surgical
conditions are only this nervous stomach
trouble. They are learning to keep
hands off, the bulletin continues. The
trouble with the stomach tablet panacea
is that it is not panacea. It won't
differentiate the cases that really need
medical treatment for serious dis
ease condition from those who merely
need relief from worries and better
adjustment to life. 1t won't help the
difficulties that cause the condition.
THE acid stomach that these nerv-
Gus people continually complain of Is
not really an acid stomach at all. The
excessive gastric juices are not more
acid than normal. But they are cap
able of seriously aggravating an al
ready diseased condition. stomach
ulcer with the constant irritation of
the excessive secretion may conceivably
become cancerous much more readily
than it might have done without that
irritation.

P.-T.A. CONCERT
AND DANCE
Concert Given a Week Ago
Sunday-St. Patrick's Day
Ball Sponsored.

BY some unaccountable slip which
sometimes slide through newspaper
making, the concert given by the Balkan
Quartet at the Washington Auditorium,
under the auspices of the Parent
Teachers Association, on Sunday, March
IL, failed to meet with mention in
these columns. Most truthfully can we
make amends by stating that it was not
Intentional as the entertainment pro-
vided was one of the best it has been
our pleasure to hear in this city in some
time and deserves special mention in
view of the fact that four Of the enter
tainers, or the quartet, were Ely young
men in attendance of st. Thomas Col
lege at st. Paul.
The Balkan Quartet is composed of
Mathew and Frank Gouze, Anton
Antoncich and Jack Gerzin. The music
played by them showed considerable
improvement since their leaving this
city for school and attested to their
teaching and application to the task in
hand. The boys are now outstanding
musicians and appear weekly over the
radio station KSTP of st Paul and
have received letters from all parts of
the country in commentator of their
work with the stringed instruments Of
Balkan origin.
A feature of the concert outside Of
the quartet was the vocal work of
Frank Mega. Mr.. Mega has a voice
of unusual brilhance and tonal qualities
which will take him far on the concert
stage. He sings the Balkan as well as
the American numbers with charm and
perfect information and his delivery pro-
claims him a singer of exceptional
ability. He was repeatedly recalled and
was very generous with his responses.
Prof. A. Lester Pierce, educational and
vocational counselor of the College gave
an excellent talk which was billed as
THE Decalogue of Youth" Having
been connected as practical psycholo-
gist for over twenty years, he was
abundantly able to put his lessons
across.
The entertainment presented was well
received and very much enjoyed by a
very large audience. The quartet with
Messrs. Mega and Pierce left here on
Monday for points on the MeSaba range
where they appeared during the week
before large audiences Their route
took them through the range towns and
south along Highway IS back to St.
Paul where they were due on Monday
of this week.
The PIT. A. also sponsored ball at
the Auditorium for st. Patrick's Day last
Friday and again were greeted with a
large crowd. The Jewellers furnished
excellent music and a fine time was
enjoyed. Both the concert and the
dance were given for the local child
welfare relief and primarily for glasses
and treatment for the eyes of Ely
children whose parents found it i'm
possible to financially furnish such
treatment. A very meager admission
charge was made for both the concert
and dance. Notwithstanding the small
admission charge, goodly sum was
realized and will be used for the pur-
poses named.
