would 60 out, holding her big fur
muff against her face, for the wind
was cold, walking briskly SO that she
would oe weary enough to sleep.
Then back again to the long, heavy
German dinner, to a silent father, to
bad coffee later in the lounge or
liquer in the small bar.
She had no time to make friends,
no lightness and laughter in her life.
When one day near the canal she
came face to face with Jerry Ames,
it was like recapturing her youth;
and Jerry, smiling down at her, pro
ceeded to tuck her arm under his and
do some capturing Of his own.
"What in the world brought you
here?"
Can you ask? I've chased you all
over the map and onto the margins!
And now that I've found you"
She was very lovely there in the
cold with her muff against her cheek,
with her face flushed in the wind
and her skirts whipping around her
slender legs. He eyed her with ap-
preciation
Nov that I've found you I'm not
letting you go, Bev."
She said nothing to that. He was
young and gay and possessive. He
took her to tea, came to dinner that
evening, got up a dinner party later,
and sometime that night she found.

German waltz to band playing the
blue Danube" Jerry holding her
and whispering in her ear:
Il love you, sweetheart. Love you.
Love you"
She went back to bed and to sleep
with that ringing in her ears, the
music, the soft lights, and Jerrys
handsome head towering over her.
The next day he sent her huge
bunch of violets, and she pinned them
to her black fur coat. She had worn
no flowers since Armies death.
They went to Paris, and he went,
with them. When Staunton slept in
the compartment of the train, jerry
came over and sitting beside her,
took her hand.
"You do care for me, don't you,
Bev?"
Il don't want to think about love
now, Jerry. Not with Mother"
Il know sweet. I'll not bother
you"
He made Paris possible She was
not in love with him, but she was
fond of him. Stanton was seeing
his foreign agents, buying pictures
and old French furniture, keeping
busy to fill strange emptiness in
his life; and Beverly, facing a lone

phone
"How about dinner and dance?"
II was going to bed early"
"Time for that when we're old, my
child. Come on; put on something
pretty and let's go somewhere"
Then one night in taxicab he slip

finger and, leaning over, kissed it
gently. She looked down at his bright .
head and, when he Strengthened up
into his blue eyes.
"Do you mind?" he asked, smil-

Beverly's father seemed pleased
when she told him she was engaged
to Jerry; or as pleased as he could

Hello Folks:

M. L. D.: I am in love with a
boy and have been going with him
for 3 years. He is in the army and
has asked me to marry him. What
shall I do?
Ans: I am sincere in believing
that you would be doing this SOL
der and yourself an injustice to
marry him at this time. He is sta
toned hundreds of miles away
from home and it would necessi-
tate your making a long trip to
his camp if you carried out your
plans. You couldn't expect to live
with him, as he is subject to trans
fer at any time. Keep in close
touch with your soldier, continue
to be his sweetheart, but put off
marriage for the duration of the
war.
P. S.: My husband works out of
the city and I am planning to take
a trip to see him. Should I stay ?
He doesn't seem to want anything
but a good time.
Ans: With your living in one
place and your husband in another,
you are giving him every chance
to be fOOt-lOOse and fancy free. If
you expect to keep your husband,
1 suggest that you live there with
him, rather than trying to main
tain a home miles away. If a man
doesn't find cOmpanionship from
his wife, he is bound to seek ii
elsewhere.
M. L. B.: I am in love with a
minister, but he doesn't know about
it I don't think. I want to know if
I would embarrass him or myself
if he were to find out that I really
love him.
Ans: Yes, it would be embar-
RAISING for you to tell this minister
that you love him and would
disgust him as well. A minister has
enough problems to worry about
as it is . without having the
added worry of brushes" of his
young members. Should he ever re-
turn your interest, you can be sure
that he will let you know. If you
really have his sincere interest at
heart, you can be a great deal of
help by taking an active interest
in the young peoples organizations
of the church and help them to
grow. He will admire and respect
you for that.

M. L.: I hate to leave my hus-
band. I love him. 1 am trying to
raise his son, but he won't take an
interest in trying to learn anything
and I am just tired and disguised.
Tell me what I can do?
Ans: There is but one way to
handle the stepmOther problem,
and that is to win the love and re-
spect of this child. 1t will be a
slow and tedious job, and it will
require more patience and under
standing than you think you have
But you must try to understand
this child's point of view. 1t is
only a natural reaction for any
child to resent a step-parent. Ac-
cept him as your own child and love
him because he belongs to your hus-
band. When you have gained his
confidence, you will have more in
fiuence with him and can encOur-
age him to take a greater interest
in his studies.
I. H.: The job I have been hold
ing for the past few years has
played out. I am thinking about
going so miles from home and take
a job in the defense plant. Would
it be wise to leave my wife in the
state she is in at this time?
Ans. You certainly can't be OF
! much help to your wife without a
job and no prospects of getting one
in the little town where you are To-
Gated. AlthO you hate to leave your
wife in her condition, it would
probably be only a matter of a few
weeks before you could send fol-
her. There is big demand for
skilled labor, and you owe it to
your country to get into line of
work where you are most needed.
C. M: There is family of peo-
pie living next door to me and they
are very nice to me. My sister,
whom I live with, does not want
me to visit them. Please tell me
what is the trouble.
Ans: Your sister is older and
more experienced than you, and she
is in position to help you choose
desirable friendships. She may not
have anything personal against
these girls, but she does have your
best interest at heart and insists
that you select your associates with
discretion. You are dependent ON
your sister for your support, and
the least you can do is to respect
her wishes and make things pleas
ant between you two.

FLASH OF THE WEEK:
Sal has been asked on numerous
occasions as to where the popular
Double "V" Victory pins can be
purchased. You know the Double
''V" is significant to all of our race
for it stands for our victory over
race prejudice and bigOtry at home
as well as victory against the Axis.
The chance for us to at last secure
the pins has arrived in the Twin
Cities. If you call Sal at Hy. 1860
she will place your order for you.
The pins are very lovely and very
reasonable too. They come in two
sizes "a large one with the Double
"V" and your first name in gold or
small pin (Which looks just like
a fraternity or sorority pin with
your initial on it, They can be
secured in all cOlOrs.
SAD BUT TRUE:
What local fellow, who is serv-
ing overseas with the army now
Tin England) sent back his gals
picture last week torn into bits
after it had taken him about a
couple of months to get it? Why ?
Well, it seems that just an ocean
separating him from his gal, didn't
prevent him from getting wind of
little unfaithfulness which his gal
is guilty of right now in the Twin
Cities. You know how he caught
up with the latest dope? It seems
he received Minneapolis Spokes.

through this medium he found out
just what sort of gal he had left
behind and how useless it was fol
him to carry torch for a gal who
was painting the town red and has
been ever since he left. D.. GOSH!
Amt long distance romance just
too grand? Anyway, that's the
rage these days-you know long

Well, friends, I'll be saying good
bye until say hello again.
