For though the figures did not re-

trick of the light or of her own mind
it had looked like October 6, 1918.
She was remembering that day,
and nothing she could do or think of
could make her stop remembering.

afternoon, and the autumn sun COM

She had fought and conquered it
years ago, she had rebuilt her life

if she wasn't so gloomy. I'm afraid
it will affect the children. She
wants to talk of sick-beds and sor-
rows and what happened to her
friends in the way of sudden death
and dreadful accident, and every
morning she signs and reads Van
the names in the list of deaths. Do
you suppose my children will catch
this dismal outlook; l am natural
ly cheerful and optimistic, and so
is Van, but sometimes I'm afraid
she will pull US all down to her lev
ell. And yet it would be frightfully
hard to tell Granny that we wanted
her to live elsewhere.
No, Betty, it won't affect the
children, and it's for you rather to
cheer the old girl up with attentive
interest in her sad tales, and hope
full comment wherever you can put
it in. You have in her a devoted
cook and nurse, one to whom the
children's safety is dearer even
than to you, and any young mother
you know would envy you.
We had nurse years ago who
used to take US to the nearby grave
yard and let us play there, month
out and in, while she worked on a
special shroud that she was even
tually to wear, and that was sup
posed to have some mystic merit.
We took deep interest in the
shroud and loved the gravestones
where we played house, ship pi-
rates, circus and everything else
that suggested life and youth. It's
a lucky man who has his. mother
under his roof, living in harmony
with his wife, and keeping a loving
watch on his children. Hold on to
your luck!

under an assault of pain. Lying on
the chaise-longue, her arms crossed
over her eyes and her hands press
ing against her temples, she fought
it with all the strength she had. But
it did no good and she had known it
would not. She might as well have
tried to argue with an earthquake
as with these rare but terrible re-
livings of the days when she had
been put to the torture. Every time
she thought it would be the last.
But year later, or two or three
years later, some occurrence too
small to be otherwise noticed would
stir up the fire that she had been so
sure was finally out. There was no
escaping it; that day came back as
though it had been that day and
not this that she was living in.
1t was such a cool, shining day,
the trees reddening, and it seemed
that nearly every house in Tulsa had
flag ripping from its front porch.
After spending the day rolling band
ages at the Red Cross headquarters,
Elizabeth came home with her knit
ting-bag on her arm. There was
very little she could do to win the
war, but if knitting sweaters and
rolling miles of bandage was of any
value she was glad to do it, Any
thing that might shorten the war by
five minutes would bring Arthur
| back that much sooner, and for five
minutes more of his presence she
would give up all the years she had
| to spend without him. She ran up
the steps, singing. 1t was a silly
song, but everybody was singing it
about that time, I'D like to see the
Kaiser with lily in his hand"

/ brightly as she ran in. She and Ar
thur had lived here for the year be-
| fore he went to the army, and she
now shared it with a girl friend who
was releasing a man for war by
working for the telephone company.
AS she opened the door the sun
fell in long rectangle on the floor
of the hall. Dropping her knitting
bag on a chair Elizabeth turned by
eager habit to look at the table
where the colored maid always put
the mail. Arthur wrote her often,
but the ships from France were not
regular; sometimes she would go
weeks without letter and then get
pile of them at once. Wonderful
letters he wrote, mirthful even in
the blood and dirt of the trenches,
telling her very little about the aw-
fitness of the war but describing
every amusing incident he had OBJ
served and only now and then chang
ing to usefulness when he told her
how much he missed her. Only once,
when she wrote to him saying the
war could not be only what he told
her, he answered: "Please, Eliza
beth, don't ask me to write about
what I've seen. When I write to
you can forget for awhile that I've
seen it. Let me keep it like that.

Cautions About Bluing

Bluing is sometimes used in an
attempt to cover or camouflage yell
lowness or dinginess caused by poor
washing methods. Careful washing
and rinsing to insure white wash
are effective. When bluing is used,
it must be handled with care to
avoid streaks and blue spots. Mix
the bluing in the water just before
using, and keep the clothes in mo-
ton while they are in it. 1t is safest
to dip the garments in the bluing
water a few at time; never let
them stand and soak.

Says

DEAR MISS DIX: I married an
1S-year -old boy in the Navy when
was Is. Now I am 16 and have q
2-month-old daughter. I suppose
was in love with my husband when
married him, but now have got
ten over 1t and I am very unhappy
because I see other girls Of my age
going out on dates and having fun.
while have to stay home and wash
diapers and fix bottles for the baby.
am living with my parents and
they treat me as If I were 3 years
old. Mother won't keep the baby
when want to 60 to the movies,
and even If I go to mail q letter
have to drag the kid along with me,
and I would like to go somewhere
without her.
have written to my husband
about how I feel and he doesn't
seem to care. AS he was just
boy when we were married maybe
he would like to be free, too. Please
tell me what to do because I am
SO miserable I am thinking of get
ting q divorce and trying to have .
little pleasure before I am too old,
MARY.
Answer-Well, Mary, II 1t Is true
that misery likes company, there
are thousands upon thousands Of
other girls who were still children
who married before they were ready
for 1t, and who are longing now for
the pleasures that belong to their
time Of life and that they cannot
have because they are tied down
with babies. I get hundreds upon
hundreds of letters from these girl
mothers who resent their mother-
hood, as you do. and who seem to
get no happiness out OF what should
be woman's most sacred source
of Joy.
And I do not know which to feel
sorrier for, the poor young mother
who is only following the instinct
nature implanted in her for good
times and playing about, but that
she cannot do because she has to
spend her evenings walking the collie
instead of dancing the rhumba, and
listen to the walls OF the baby who
wants his bottle instead of to the
soft talk of the boy friend: or
whether my sympathy should 60
out to the poor little unwanted child
whose mother looks upon him only
as burden and whom, only too
often, she leaves to be lonely and
hungry and cold and wet while she
steps out to night club.
But, Mary. there is no going back
in life. God doesn't give us chance
to retrace our steps and take a
different road. The fact remains
that you did marry too young and
you have had the baby before you
had developed the mother heart; so
you have to make the best of your
bargain. You have to realize that
you threw away your opportunity
for the good times of a young girl.
and you have to find your pleasure
now in taking care of your little
daughter.
Divorce wouldn't settle your prob
lem because you will still be tied
down with the baby. So it seems to
me that the best thing for you to do
is to wait until your husband is dis
charged from the Navy and then
maybe the two of you will fall in
love over again and the baby will
cease to be excess baggage.

to direct our young women to work
