Cali right, you win. You can send
in notice of our engagement to the

hadn't made that grand-stand play
about loving me. That was rotten of
you! Somehow it wouldn't have been
so bad if you'd come right out and

the room oblivious of her anguished
cry.
"Peter! Peter!"
But he was striding on regardless
into the night.
An eternal second, Helena stood
motionless, watching the scarlet clad
figure jerk open the door then vanish
into the darkness outside. Blinded by
tears she stared at the empty door

at her feet. "Peter! Darling, Peter"
she sobbed.
The face that looked out from the

appeared sharp lines from nostril to

tired look.
"Well," he sighed, "that's that. It's
going to be misery-but for Cara

Deliberately he changed from his
evening clothes into hunting livery,
shaved, then donned polished boots
and snowy stock.
During the ride out to the Elkhorn
Hunt Club his mind struggled to COM
prehend the task lying before him.
Cara would probably be there and
there'd have to be a showdown. Of
course she hadn't meant her outburst
during the Hunt Ball. Now he'd have
to explain matters, the necessity of

A Little Story On Some
Hazards Found in
the Home
PREVENT ACCIDENTS

A little more cooperation, please!
The road from home to the hospital
is all too frequently paved with
good intention, according to the
Delaware Safety Council. I'm
going to put handrail on the Gel
lar stairs just as soon as L get
around to it." says Father. Be
fore I take these curtains down
again I'm going to have a good
stepladder," says Mother as she
precariously balances herself on
the rickety old kitchen stool and
reaches up to put the curtain rods
in place. "I'll come right back
and put my skates where they be-
long" says Susie as she drops her
skates at the top of the porch steps
and runs off to speak to friend.
And that is part of the reason why
falls constituted about 40 per cent
of all home accidental fatalities in
1884. Besides those members of
the household whose good inten-
tionS leave a trail Of misery behind
them, there are those snug persons
who go about issuing warnings but
never lift a finger to correct a haz-
ard. Let who will slip on scatter
rug or endanger his life by mistak-
ing poison for medicine in an un-
marked bottle, Uncle Doolittle has
foretold disaster and when it ar
rives- why it was no more than he
expected. It never occurs to him
that he might fix the rug of mark
the bottle. When a hazard is dis
covered in the home, don't waste
time talking about lido some
thing. The LET MOTHER DO 1T
habit that is practiced in so many
families is obviously unfair. The
home is a small community in
which everyone should shoulder
some of the burden of responsible
ity for the general welfare. 1t
isn't cricket to make Mother re-
sponsible for everybody's home ac-
cident. And don't forget that when
the doctor is summoned to dress
burns, administer antidotes, or set
bones, Father has to pay the bills.
Be as sporting about playing your
part in the home accident preven-
ton campaign as you are on the
hockey field or the basketball floor.
