badly with us lately in our
own home town, but there is
one thing we can be thankful
for: We are not that man
standing in front Of the Depot
Cafe in Limo, Kansas.
Few masS-groupings are as
unprepossessing as the people
seen from the train in a city
like, for instance, Syracuse,
N. Y, where the tracks run
practically through a cross-sec-
ton Of living rooms and offices
and where, If you ordered far
enough in advance by tele-
graph, you could have egg
sandwiches handed to you
through the car window at
every corner Of the Main
Street.
In the first place I, person
ally, always scan the station
platform for the one person
I may know in a town we are
passing through, although sober
second thought would tell me
that most people do not just
happen to drop by the depot
during business hours. Not
finding an acquaintance sit
ting on the baggage trucks or
hanging over the gates at the
crossing, I have a feeling that
no one who Is there can
amount to much. But even
making allowances for such lit
tie personal snobberies as this,
the fact remains that prac.
tically nobody seen from a
train window looks as If he
had a very happy home life.

They talked Of bridge. Pa
tricia must meet such interest
ing people. Her own life made
theirs look very dull. They had
stuffy mothers, stuffy fathers,
always on hand to check any
really exciting fun. It must be
wonderful to be free.
Though, there is Julian, Of
course" laughed Marthe and
asked Patricia, "Does your
uncle cramp your style?"
No, said Patricia, Julian let
her do as she pleased. She
agreed that she was lucky. In
a kind of numbness she was
thinking that there would be
no help until the men arrived.
The girls might go as far as
they liked then. They would
go far. She could not stop
them. Only the men could stop
them. They wouldn't dare then.
With almost gasping relief
she heard masculine footsteps,
heard Clark's voice, knew that
help was approaching. The
girls noted her relief, as they
had noted everything else. Let
them! Patricia did not care.
The men, in their dark coats
and flannels, looked like 81
many angels, uncomplicated,
candid, not caring what any
girl wore so long as she was
pretty and sweet.

Adventure Club

Making her bow to the club
today is Ruth Ella Arnold Seat
Pleasant, Md.
Ruth tells us that she Is too
young to read the column her
self but she has her mother
read it to her every day. She
likes it and especially, she
says, the letters from the other
children.
We were surprised when we
received Ruth's application for
membership because we really
thought we had every child
under 13 in Seat Pleasant, Md,
signed up. But it appears we
were wrong. We have given up
being astonished every time we
receive an application from a
new Seat Pleasant boy or girl.
How we like that town! It
certainly must be a swell place
for children to live. You'd
just never be lonesome. There'd
always be a dozen or two other
little boys and girls within
calling distance. We bet the
juvenile population of that town
has a GRAND time.
