Next came the happiest peried of
Mary's life. She and Jim were en-
gaged, The months of her engagement
were deliriously happy ones for Mary.
She was not only happy because of
herself and Jim, but because of Amy's
happiness as well, Amy was now
married to Jerome Baxter, one of the
wealthiest boys of the city.
A few days before Mary's wedding
Amy came to her home with tears in
her eyes,
“Plegse glve Jim up for me, Mary
dear. You can’t possibly love hin as
much as I do”
“Give him up! Why, Amy, are you
crazy? I—I can't give him up for any-
body, not even for you. I love him

owe some duty to your husband. Why,

“But 1 love Jim. 1 don't love my

ezouldn’t break his word to you."
“That's a lie!” Mary flung out. “I
can't, I won't believe it. It's not true,
1 won't give him up. 1 won't”
“All right,” Amy retorted. “If you
want to spoil his happines as well as
mine, go ahead.” With that she left
Mary sitting listlessly in a chair, pale
and shaken,

“lea concrete” is the name of a new
porous and light building material re-
cently invented in Finland. This new
substance is made of cement and sand,
like any other concrete. but it differs
greatly from ordinary eonerete in that
it has been made extremely porous by
mixing It with crushed ice and snow,
Then the moisture evaporated
through heating, Dy this process the

evenly by tiny pores No
water In composition ls needed gince
the water required is formed through
the melting of the jce or stow,
The degree of porousness of this
concrete can be accurately determined
in advance by the quantity of lee or
snow need Consequently, the weight
of the material is in direct relation to
the number and the size of the pores,
It is possible to use as much as from
50 to 80 per cent of ice or snow in the
mixture, thus producing millions of
minute pores throughout the material,
