things onl
tBut e .' not catty That Is not her
vice. She Is a flatterer Intrinsically. And
. iiVa a P""0" of perception It isn't
at all hard to see through the flatterer.
For flattery needs to be applied with
an excessive amount of diplomacy. It
must be convincing to avoid being
Jiauscatlng. That 's the danger Into which
the Girl Gusher Invariably falls. Bho be
comes naussatlng through her very In
sincerity. We cannot believe her little
rhapsodies. We cannot pin our faith
to her gurgling speeches. And In the
last Instance we are all too apt to con
demn her as a fool, and to shun her as
wo would the plague.

She does take In some people, of course.
Tho world Is full of people who are ready
and watting to be taken In. They form
the proverbial "soft marks," who will
atways be aimed at by a Variety of
strange persons.
As a matter of fact, the Girl who
Gushes Is not always lntrlrslcally feather
headed. Nor Is she naturally designing.
Frequently she Is merely possessed of a
strong desire to please. If we look around
our feminine acquaintances we will then
see that those most glaringly guilty of
gush are the homely girls, those who have
been snabbily endowed by nature, and
who, are desperately anxious to make
amends In some, sort of way. At an early
age they have gazed reflectively Into the
mirror and, to mix metaphors, have
weighed themselves In the balance and
found themselves disconcertingly want
ing. Thereupon they have immediately
tacked their HtOe
brains for n read
justment of balance
and hit upon the un
happy expedient of
gushfulncssi They
have determined "to

sumption of untimely
gurgles and giggles
has been started with
an ardor worthy of a
better cause. For the
Girl who Gushes
never achieves the
popularity she so
desperately ueeks
and sooner or later
she must learn by
sad experience that
sincerity and moderation In all things
prove a better foundation for real pop
ularity than an exaggerated and a yet
more exaggerated vocabulary!

COATS ARE SEMIFITTED
AND TRIMMED WI1?H FUR
BIIAID Is being used
extensively on the
more exclusive winter
coat suits. The Dry
Goods Economist gives
a significant resume ot
the situation as follows!
"The fabrics of tailor
mades consist largely of
serges, poplins, gabar
dines, whipcords and
broadcloths as well as
smart checks, English
tweeds and mixtures,
and some mannish
stripes. In the dressier
suits, high lustre broad
cloths, peaux do sourls,
wool veldura, velvets,
panno and panne plush
are being employed. Air
of these high-priced
suits are fur-trimmed.
"Braided and velvet
bands are seen on the
deml tailored models.
Others show slight
trimming touches In the
form of embroidery on
the collars, on the cuffs
and pockets. Box coats,
redlngotes and Russian
effects are particularly
good."
Other features which
need no advance nottcn
are the flare coat, some
times at the front,
some times at the back,
often all the way
around. Then comes
the high collar, which
Is made In many cases
to envelop tho throat
and cover a part of the
face, according to ths
latest fad.
A collar of this kind,
slightly modified by the
American tailors, 1 a
shown in today's fash
Ion cut. The material
used Is olive green
chamois cloth, that
most durable of fabrics,
especially for the school
girl. Tho coat Is gath
ered Into a yoke at ths
front, fastening with
ball buttons, also green.
The belt Is tailored, and
a flare coat Is produced
by means of plaits at
either side of tho front.
The collar Is made of
peacock blue velvet with
touches of skunk. The
skirt Is plain, being the
required width.
COLD STORAGE GRUB FINE
Messiah Lutheran Church Bible Class
Holds Banquet
Turkeys and hens which departed this
life more than a year ago figured conspic
uously in a feast which was given last
night by the Harvey Miller BIblo Class at
Messiah Lutheran Church, 16th and Jeffer
son streets.
There were eggs, too, which first saw
the light of day many months ago, but
like the fowl and other good things pres
ent, they were perfectly resigned. As all
the food had been preserved lp cold stor
age plants tho feast was pronounced a
success. In fact, one of the objects of the
banquet was to remove the prejudice
against the cold Btorage method of keep
ing food.
On the menu card attached to each arti
cle of food was Its obituary. It was
learned that some of the chickens came
from Ohio, and the butter all the way
from Minnesota.
The food was placed In a storage room
ftvo degrees below zero on June 15 and
withdrawn last Wednesday. Several
speakers declared that the cost of living
would be reduced if housewives would
preserve food in this way. AJout 300 per
sons attended the dinner.

THE DAILY STORY
Billeting and Barbara
Even after war had been declared and
the troops were actually on the march,
Barbara Heathcote failed to realize the
gravity of the situation. Comfortably
ensconced In her great country bunga
low, surrounded by servants and every
luxury, she did not see the necessity of
worrying about a war which would not
upset her own well-ordered existence.
Barbara had not stopped to realize that
the little village In Bedfordshire was
right on the line of march, nor did she
know that, being a householder, she
would be ordered to provide temporary
shelter for officers and men of the troops
when they should pass on the way to
battlegrounds.
It was with great surprise that she
found herself watching an officer re
treating from her door having billeted
a score ot soldiers on her. She had been
asked, "in the name of the king," to
provide shelter for a day or two for tho
men on the march, and Barbara had
been first Indignant, then Indifferent. Her
servants, she decided, could make pro
vision for the soldiers.
But Barbara's equilibrium was upset.
War had been forced into her conscious
ness and she wished the troops had taken
another route to the battlegrounds. Sho
disliked annoyance of any kind, for she
was selfish ahd self-centred.
"Where will these troops sleep?" she
asked of her old servant.
"On the veranda, Miss Barbara, and
In the garden," replied Jenkins, more ex
cited than the soldiers themselves. "We
will feed them In the servants' hall."
When Jenkins had gone Barbara's brow
puckered. She well knew that fighting
men were accustomed to hardship, but
tho thought of them sleeping on wooden
floors or perhaps In the dew-dampened
garden was not pleasant. Certainly It
would disturb her own's night rest to
have them there. During the day, how
ever, she tried to harden herself by the
thought that there was much worse ahead
of them than sleeping In sheltered gar
dens. In the evening, when a score or more
of tired but laughing soldiers In khaki
came trooping through the great hedge
gate Barbara watched them with quickly
beating heart. Somehow and without
warning a sharp emotion tripped her. Sho
tried to stifle a desire to cry and won
dering why she should feel so helpless all
ot a sudden. The men were big and
brave and wore going off happily to fight
for their country and their womenfolk.
She, Barbara, who was nourished and
cared for as If she were a hothouse bud,
was miserable, and the realization of her
own smallness dawned on her.
She looked again at the men, now
going toward the back of the house, and
their war kits brought fresh emotion to
Barbara's heart. They were going to
battle for perhaps months, and maybe
years, with that small provision for com
fort. Never before had Barbara seen
the troops In full war kit, and the mea
gerness of their equipment appalled her.
She who had slept beneath rose-colored
eiderdowns all her life could conceive
of nothing so terrible as that pitiful sup
ply of human comforts. She turned from
the window and to the telephone.
"Jenkins," she called down to her old
servant, "see that cook provides the best
of everything fdr these men. Spare no
expense or trouble to make them com
fortable." . When she had hung up the receiver
Barbara felt a trifle more like herself.
After all, most of the men would return
from the war. Sho was upsetting her
self for vague fears. She tried to throw
off the ghastly pictures that the Bight
of the troops had put before her, but It
was useless, now that her very doorstep
was thronged with soldiers, to feel other
than fearful for their fate. Again she
wished that the burden of worry had
not been flung upon her. The thought
sent a, wave of shame over her. Perhaps
for the first time in her entire life Bar
bara knew how despicably selfish she
was. She was regretting the entrance
Into her life of that score of brave men.

and the women who had lost them were
no doubt weeping In -anguish. Barbara
felt the sting of her own weakness and
the utter uselcssness of her life.
"Even my servants are doing some
thing for those men," she told her
self when she heard a burst of laugh
ter from the direction of the lower dining
hall. "They don't know I am in the
house," sho added thoughtfully, "I am
an atom In this world and each of those
men Is a king." Barbara pondered then
as she had never pondered before. Her
own Insignificance, the desperate reality
of war and Its suffering, together with
the misery that must come In the wake
of battle, all these thoughts held Bar
bara Heathcote In a grip ot Introspection.
So long did she sit In the darkness that
before she knew It the troops billeted on
her had ceased their laughter and flung
themselves down on veranda and garden
lawn to woo asleep as best they might.
Barbara Jumped up and peered down at
them and the tears blurred her sight. A
pale moon threw her radiance on the up
turned faces of the men and on their
rifles and caps. An occasional murmur
told Barbara that sleep had not as yet
claimed them.
With sudden Inspiration Barbara went
Into the drawing room and began slngtng
gently so as not to startle the men. Her
volco filtering through the open windows
swept like the touch ot angel wings over
the soldiers' emotions, and not one of
them spoke a word.
A young lieutenant surreptitiously
brushed the moisture from his eyes with
khaki-colored sleeve. His sweetheart had
tried to sing for him that song at part
ing, but her voice had broken.
StopI Barbara's voice, too, had broken.
She Jumped up and went swiftly Into
the moonlight among the soldiers, They
arose as one man at her coming and
stood looking at the slim white figure.
"I can't stand It to have you sleeping
out here," she said breathlessly. "Tou
must all come Inside. I will have all the
room necessary." She smiled when they
demurred, and commanded In a most
adorable manner. "Please let me have
my way," she said. "I have never done
anything In my whole life for any one
save myself. Please let me do what I
can now." And because she was crying
Barbara hastened to help Jenkins make
up the many beds In tho great house. It
cheered her considerably to bo doing
some trifling thing In the war movement,
and out of the Joy she derived from
making up those beds Barbara knew
that never more could she be happy
while there were those In the world less
fortunate than she.
The troops remained only until the
morning of the third day. and when they
had marched off with their bands playing
and a smile on their lips, Barbara wept
as If her heart would break.
Bedfordshire waa Impossible for her
after that. The life of ease and luxury
was not to be borne. She could not sit
Idly by and wait for news from the front;
sho must go and be a part of that work
ing contingent and do her mite.
Barbara knew that somewhere, some
day, after the great war was over, she
would again stand beside the young lieu
tenant commander who had slept beneath
her roof on tho way to battle. His eyes
had told her that he would come back to
her, and Barbara was living only for that
day and for the good she might do to be
worthy of him.
"I am glad." thought Barbara, "that I
lived on the line of marching. Otherwise
I might never had known Lieut-Commander
Blakely." She smiled softly and
added, "And yet I must surely have met
him some day."
