1t was during that rosy week
that Clara confided her wedding
plans. She and Roy Swenson
were to be married on Saturday oil
the following week.
Ann made dress for her. and
a cunning little hat. knowing
that she must find another room,
she let her plans ride, waiting
until she should see Paul again.
That next meeting might mean
anything.
She saw him on Thursday night
and the rosy daze was no more.
He seemed almost to dislike her.
He informed her quite colby,
that he had been transferred TO
Moline. that he was leaving with

he had gone to the manager and
asked to be transferred. The kiss
in the park had done IT. Il can't
kid myself any longer" was the
way Paul had put it to himself.
Ann felt that a door, through
which she had glimpsed happi-
ness, had been rudely slammed IN
her face. She almost felt that
Paul had slapped her. Even then
she felt no resentment toward
Paul. He had stated his convic-
tons fairly and squarely at their
second meeting and she had
promised To abide by them. II
was her own fault If she hao
taken a casual kiss too seriously
She managed to put up a brave
front.
Does il mean promotion TO

the real issue, the personal issue.

There are no questions IKE

man for the girls asks, What do
you suggest that we do? And
do you know how this same stu
alton Is handled in other sections
Of the country"
In the first place, making the
school dances a success Is GER
tainly Just as much an obligation
OF the girls as it is Of the boys.
And as school activity, there
should be no need for boys

at your school that considers u
improper that the girls go by

together, then why not discuss this
with the teachers who are your
class advisers? II they agree TO
the suggestion, II could be an
nounced at assembly that all the
girls are expected TO come whether
they come with boys or not, be-
cause the school would like a fun
attendance.
No plan is better at the dance
than for the girls to sit in groups
of their own particular friends
And to make 1t a practice after
each dance to return TO their
group. Often boy In wary about

It solved. ms nothing ever has

they stop dancing. without being

of course be carried out by all the

success In the number of stays

unit Tor this evening IN the Hotel
Elton ct 8 O'Clock. The committee
viii make plans for future events,
one which Is Of special significance
but which Mr.. Ryan would not dis
close tdoay.
Tbs meeting tonight will be pre-
ceded by Joint meeting Of the
Mothers Of American Sons and The
Committee To Keep America Out
OF Foreign Wars. The Joint commit
tees viii complete the work Of tax
ing care Of details which resulted
from the mammoth patriotic rally
which they sponsored on Tuesday
evening and at which Rev. DR.. Ed
ward Lodge Curran spoke.
Mr.. Ryan limited today that Wa
terburians have q great surprise In
store for them, q surprise which
will please the great majority Of
people In this section. The surprise
he limited was the future appear
ance Of "a great American but / can
not disclose his name at present"
He did say that the Buckingham
Hall would not be anywhere near
large enough to hear our next
speaker.
All members Of the organization
are urged to attend tonight's meet
ing as there are numerous proposals
Of great importance to be taken up.
Said MIR. Ryan today: 1T Is time
right noW-for real Americans to
assert that t'.ey are Americans first,
last and all the time. For too long
a time. there has been q feeling that
to say you were opposed to aid short
of war, was to say you were tin-
American-but that condition can
not be found today. Americans have
realized that they were being mis-
lead by high pressure, misleading
propaganda which did not have the
future and the safety Of this coun-
try first, but had the salation of
Great Britain ahead OF our own
welfare"
