Must Confess Misstep.
The boy has married and is liv-

nothing OF him now. But he has, or
had, letters of hers that cannot be
mistaken, and feel strongly that
she should make a clean breast of
the whole affair to Will. She thinks
it would hurt and annoy him with
out altering his determination to
marry her. l must admit that he
worships her, making her his ideal
of Womanhood, and that it would be
hard for her to tell him anything
that would lessen his admiration,

this particular sin is any more Sc

Safest Way.
If Will loves her enough to forget
the whole thing, as he probably
does, then she can console herself
in the years to come with the knowl-
edge that he married her anyway.
Then If the early lover appears some
day, or Matchmaking letter comes
from the early lovers wife, Elise is
on safe ground. Her husband knows
all about it, and nobody can frighten
her.
If Will is shocked and reproachful
upon discovering that his goddess
has feet Of clay, then he is some
thing Of a prig, and perhaps Elise
will be more fortunate if she waits
for more generous mate.

this. Certainly, if Elise wants to
hear the story. But she will find
that what is shame and suffering
to her sex is a matter of placid
boasting to the other, and she will
get so angry, just listening, that the
effect will be to make him more
pleased in his secret heart than ever
with his gallantries.

w re ALL make mistakes in
wv this queer twisted life.
Our parents and grand
parents had their weaknesses
and stupidities, and we pay for
them. AS far back as the hui
man family extends, it's story is
story of crime and punish
ment for crime. Sometimes the
sinner for long, long time es-
capes retribution, but it always
catches him in the end.
Unless, of course, we take
ourselves in hand very early in
life and with prayer and thought
and care train ourselves out of
our inherited failings. And few
OF us have either the courage or
the foresight to do that!
For example knew a rich and in
huential woman once who was head
OF the board that arranged a charity
entertainment. Five hundred of the
school children of the city were in
this kermis, which was a great
success. But as a newspaper re-
porter l knew, and of course she
knew, that the city had condemned
the hall in which the party was Civ
en- as an absolute firetrap. Nothing
happened and she seemed to be
justified in risking thousands of lives
for the sake of saving on rent.
Payment With Interest Inevitable.
But some years later a building
this woman owned and rented COL
lapsed. The insurance company re-
fused payments because she had
been twice warned that the founda-
tlons, laid in all the hurry of the
earthquake-recovery year, were un-
safe. Damages cost this woman and
her children every penny of their
fortune and she ended life strug-
Cling with clearinghouse she was
completely unfit to manage.
Another case. There was q care
less, slatternly girl in our town
years ago whose car was always in
volVed in smashes, whose hats blew
away and purses got lost, who new
er remembered tickets or engage
ments. She was arrogant about it,
| telling all critics that that was the
way she was and there was no use
scolding her. A year or two after a
brilliant marriage she hooked her
heel in a torn hem, fell down a
flight of stairs and spent two years
in bed as a result.
Still others The cursing, roar
ing, impatient type of man who
backed his car out of the garage
and over the body of his small son.
The mother who left a sick child to
a new maid who administered a
spoonful OF ammonia instead of med

BIGGEST CROP BUYING

During debate on the lease-lend
bill. Senator Murray of Montana
came up to the wee presidents dais
and whispered in Henry Wallace's
ear. The bill, he said. ought to con-

would buy or borrow farm products
as well as ornaments.
Vice President Wallace replied
that he thought so, too, but had not
felt it necessary 10 spell it OUT in
the bill. However. he mentioned
the matter to Senate Floor Leader
Barley, who offered an amendment
TO the lease-lend bill.
This was the simple mechanics
whereby the biggest farm purchase
plan since the last war was started.
Most people don't realize it, but
the lease-lend act makes the United
States not only the arsenal for Great
Britain, but also her granary, pack

British blockade.
