Hello" he grinned. 1T was
 wondering what in the world I'd
 do if you didn't. show up. These | places give me the willies. Too | many women around" He didn't seem in the least un- comforta ble, though, five minutes
 later when they stood before the purse counter. The young woman | behind the counter, who wore her
 blond hair in amazing ringlets
 smiled at him as she drew several | purses from the case. She spoke
 with a marked southern drawl that
 Janet felt sure was affected.
 ''Now heah's little numbah," | she said we've been sellin' at $10.S5. It's real bah-gain-" Jeff turned to Janet. How about it? Do you like that?" She shook her head. "Those
 clasps never hold. I know because ] I had one once."
 The young woman behind the counter was still smiling. What
 colah would you like? Black or
 brown"
 Jeff looked down and saw that
 the purse Janet, was carrying was | DldChs w Hy-dHcIl. I16 CledTSQ
 his throat. "Black, think. Will
 you let us see that one in the sec
 ond row?"
 | It was an attractive handbag
 which they finally chose = soft
 black leather envelope with a dis
 tinctive metal trim. The girl with
 the blond curls sent it to be
 wrapped in a gift box.
 I'm sure she'll like it." Janet
 said. II think any girl would. It's | so practical and a good size too.' | Well" Jeff said contentedly, "if you like it I guess it will do." He
 hadn't volunteered any information about the recipient of the purse. He hadn't said she was a relative
 or just a friend or sweetheart. Janet couldn't help wondering. She
 was curious but not for the world ,, would she ask questions. The young man glanced at his
 wrist watch when the package was delivered to him. Sorry" he said fits later than I thought. was hoping we'd have timem to drop in
 at Hartley's but don't believe we can make it. Where do you want to eat ?"
 Janet suggested sandwich bar | in the same block. They went there. found two vacant stools be- side the counter and climbed up
 on them. Janet ordered a hot chicken sandwich and glass of
 milk. Jeff called for ham on rye with plenty of hustard. "Well," he said, "that shopping l business wasn't half bad, was it
 You're the one I have to thank for that, though. Lord, I wouldn't
 have had the slightest idea what to buy"
 He saw that she was not listcn- 1 ing and the words broke off. Some
 earlier custom had left folded
 newspaper on the counter. Janet opened it. glancing idly at the front page. All at once a headline
 in rather inconspicuous type stood out. Janet read it, stared at the words, read them over again. There 1t was:-no mistake about 1t! The headline read:

DON'T QUALIFY ALL YOUR "YES'S"
 Mother, may go over and play with Mary?"
 "Yes, but don't stay too long,"
 'T won't" with Mary and stayed until her mother called on the telephone and demanded her immediate re- turn.
 Mother. may have an apple? P
 "Yes, but don't eat the skin.
 'I won't. Ellen forgot and ate | the skin.
 "Mother, want to cut out paper dolls. May have your scissors
 "Yes, but don't cut yourseii. And don't forget to put them back and clean up the muss.
 The little girl did not cut ner- self, but she forgot to put back the scissors and the "muss" was leit for her mother to clean up next morning. She had forgotten her self that she had warned the child | to do it.
 More Disregarded Instructions Goodbye" called Ellen next morning as she skipped or to school.
 "Good-bye," waved her mother. Watch when you cross the street."
 "Yes'm," said Ellen darting out in front of a car. Then she ran back. Mother, may I tell Mary about my birthday party" 'I guess so. But tell her not to tell anyone else." Ellen forgot that, too, and by noon the whole school knew it.
 Her mother heard it from a friend. II meant to warn you, El- len, not to tell anyone, or to tell Mary not to tell. Now I've got to ask twice as many children as expected to-" She herself had forgotten that she had already warned her daughter.
 So many of us are that way. .We cannot give a clear ives" or mo" without adding some direc- tion, some warning. Our own computations coming to the surface to give us a feeling of clear con- | science and duty alone. Either that or a sense of over-responsibil- | ity voicing itself in an indirect pro- test. | Cautions Mean Nothing The habit becomes so set that it is perfunctory performance, almost entirely reflex, without particle of real thought behind it. i And children hearing every per- mission given with a string at- tached, get so accustoemd to 1t they answer just as automatical- | ly. The order to be careful, not to stay too late, not to swallow the skins, not to tell, does not register at all.
 "Yes, mother, I'll remember! actually means nothing at all.
 The time comes when a real reservation that accompanies con- sent, something that really matters and should be listened to is treat ed as casually as all the rest. This is serious.
 Anyway, children nut get weary of having extra words tagged on to all our "yes's." Why cannot we say, "You may do it" once in a while and let it go at that?
 No wonder so much of what we say goes in one ear and out the other! Attention is never gained this way.

 "AIl ready" Sally answered Ds Norton, smiling up at him. s.f1ave you got list of the things you want?"
 "Part of one," he answered. Har felt around in his pockets and produced it. s.It isn't complete. That's where you are to help. Tell
 me the rest of the things I'll need"
 Sally took the card and began to read. Sh glanced up and her eyes were laughing mischievously-
 What made you think of a low bowl for flowers and forgef 4 curtains?r
 He laughed, too. But he was embarrassed. Sally was sorry she had spoken.
 q think it's lovely idea. T., always did think flower bowls were. ever so much more important than old curtains anyway. It's just that I'm so glad to find someone else
 who feels that way about it, too, she talked on.
 The man smiled but his lips
 laughed, not his eyes. Sally de- tected that.
 I've been in an office with an- other man-an older man." tho younger doctor explained. He had the things furnished before went in. Furnished it years ago and never changed the style" he vert on wryly. That's why I'm a nov ice at the art of decorating officesf But probably wouldn't know any more about it if I'd arranged a dozen."
 ''If we are going to buy every thing today, maybe I should have some idea what your office is like. ' Sally explained when they had started.
 "Of course. Stupid of me not to. think of that, wasn't it? Want to
 drop in? I'd like to see if there's any mail, anyway. The office was on the second floor of a rather old office build
 ing. The reception room was large
 and cheerful. The inner offices
 were arranged for practical work They had been equipped for medi-p
 cal use when the building was new. 'T like them," Sally said. 'It will be fun to get them ready" < Dr Norton didn't answer. She glanced around. There had been
 mail. He was reading it. And his
 brows were knitted little. He
 wasn't pleased.
 Sally went on with her inspection of the room. Dr Norton's desk, <
 case of instruments, and the oper4
 ating chair had been installed Nothing else. She looked out of the window.
 and finally sat down on the edge of the operating chair. She stud-o | jed the mans profile. She liked it. , It showed strength and determina- ton and humor. He could be stub-
 born and stern, she imagined. But
 he could be tender, too. x" He looked up and met her eyes. Did you say something ?'' he asked.
 T was just thinking that you probably were nice to old ladies
 and dogs" she told him. That's just what I was read | ing" he said, grimly. "Oh, I'm sorry--I didn't mean The new Sally was swiftly com. | trite. f1 q know you didn't. It's all

Janet shrugged. What difference did it make what Mrs Silvani thought so long as Jeff Grant un- derstood. There were no sentiment tai notions in Jeff Grants mind. He wasn't that kind.
 She was surprised the next eve- ming when he knocked at her door. Janet opened it and said, "Oh-- hel1oi Won't you come in?" He had stopped at the door to talk to- her once or twice but he had never entered the apartment. Now he came inside. Janet dropped into a chair and motioned him toward one.
 "There's something thought maybe you'd help me with" Grant said hesitantly.
 All right. What is it?
 "Well-I wondered if you'd help me buy a present for a girl"
 What kind of girl? I mean what's she like? Do you have any idea of what kind of a present she'd especially 1ike?"
 Of course it hadn't been jealousy that famed up in Janet's heart . That was ridiculous. Of course it couldn't be anything of the sort. Why shoulud she care how many presents Jeff Grant bought for other girls? What difference could it make to her?
 He answered all her questions in the negative. She was - well, just an ordinary girl. He didn't know how old she was. About Janet's age, he thought. He didn't have any idea what she'd like. What kind of presents did girls like? Hadn't Janet any sugges- tions?
 He was so helpless about it that she laughed. "Why, yes, of course, I coulud suggest dozen things. It depends partly on how much you want to spend. You could get a vanity case or perfume or some- thing for her room. A vase, a candy box maybe or piece of pot tery. Maybe she'd like a handbag. I saw rome beauties in Marsh's window to-day. They were on sale at $5. Really lovely ones"
 That's an ideal" Grant nodded. DO you think she'd like hand bag?" Janet smiled again. "Well, of course l don't know. I'd like one or them myself, though"
 "I think that's a good hunch," Jeff announced. Would you be willing to go with me to buy 1t? I'm pretty dumb at things like that. I'd probably pick out the worst in the bunch" She agreed to meet him at Marsh's department store next day at 12:15. They could buy the purse and then have sandwich some where together. He stayed a little longer and then departed. Twelve fifteen" he called over his shoul- der as he closed the door. Don't forget!'
 At exactly 13 minutes past 12 o'clock the next day Janet entered the main door of Marsh's depart ment store. Jeff Grant was there before her. %
