HiH It does not go away for a long time
Every girl who has ever been a real
girl knows just what this longing Is.
Boarding school or college the place
Where one gets up In the morning to
eat breakfast with girls your own apo;
to laugh, to study, to play pranks with
them; to toss a basket ball with those
same good, true friends; to wear a
sweater and go on hikes. Companion
ship and outdoors. These are the
Chief charms of boarding school life.
The pathetic thing about thin or
ganized community life Is that the
poor and the average circumstanced
girl have never been able to enjoy It.
And now we come to what the wai
ls doing. It Is putting girls In bar
racks to live. Glorious movement!
.For tho first time the girl who has
never known the keen Joy of living
with other girls Is to have her day.
UP OPPOSITE the Union Station In
Washington the Government Is
putting up barracks that will accom
modate COO women the war's activities
havo brought to the Capital City. The
Government will house, feed and pro
vide recreation for these girls. Every
large munition plant has done the
same thing. So have Innumerable In.
dustrles Into which girls and women
have been Invited since these, our big
war days.
This alone could make n girl want
to go to war work. And this alone Is
going to have a telling effeft on the
'after-the-u-ar womanhood of mir roun
try. It will do In a measure for our
girls what soldier life Is doing for our
boys. There Is nothing like niganixed
community life to bring out the best

realize she must overcome them.
For Instance. If one girl of a num

constantly on the road for the chance,
passing man; If she Is bright and jolly
only when boys aro around and fret
ful and uninterested when she Is with
girls, her companions soon register
her as boy-struck and get disgusted
with her.
Then that means you must bring
yourself in tow and realize that If you
are to stand in well with tho crowd
you must learn how to be "ono of the
girls." That Is one of the tine splen
did things about life In college or In

Is never without a few cans of good soup

Asparagus soup, which la somewhat dif

I always have been under the impres
sion that anything In tho way of a
novelty for the carrying of school sup
plies helps keep up the Interest of the
truant little boy or girl who never liked
"gogaphy" or school, anyhow. That Is
why I was particularly attracted by the
comical Chinaman doll about ten Inches
hlg(i with strands of black yool for his
pigtail, and funny stuffed face. The
sleeves of his brightly colored jacket are
held straight out by a ruler which slips
through. Did you ever hear of such a
peculiar ruler case before? In his two
coat pockets and extending down Into his
flnppy trousers are lead pencils. If one
little boy or girl has one, I can readily
conceive of all his or her classmates
clamoring for a Chinaman "Just like
Bobby's" The price Is only twenty-five
cents.

DAILY NOVELETTE
"THE COURSE OF TRUE
LOVE"
By Marion C. Roody
IT WAS a busy day In the little town
of Westford, Flags and banners were
flying from every building and every
thing took on the aspect of a great cel
ebration. It was Hed Cross Day. nnd great
plans had been made to raise funds for
the welfare of our boys.
Speakers had been engaged for the
afternoon, after which a war luncheon
was to be served, and In the evening a
drama given. All this was to take
place In the old town hall, and every
possible thing had been done to make
the affair a success.
"How can I ever play my part to
night?" sighed Harriet Blake, throwing
down her costume which she was Just
finishing. "I never, never can do It,
afler what happened this morning, but
who Is there to take my place?"
Such were the thoughts running
through Harriet Wake's mind on the
morning of this exciting day.
She was to play the lending part that
evening, with Dick Mason as leading
man
They had been pals since childhood,
nnd now that the stage of short dresses
and boyish knickerbockers was past a
deeper feeling of friendship had sprung
utztriT-i irviint ui 11 ii'iiuniiin mjiii ninii

settled fart In Westford that some day
they would become man and wife.
Itehearsals had been going well and
tickets were selling fast, but this morn
ing Harrlpt and Dlek bad quarreled
oer some misunderstanding.
They bad walked home together from
this last rehearsal, and it was during
the walk that the unpleasantness had
arisen, nnd Harriet was terrihlv unppt
"I'm afraid our friendship has come
to an .ml." she had said. Thee were
her last words with Dick, and now she
was sorry that she had ever uttered
them.
She tried to be enthusiastic about the
festivities nf the, day. bill her heart
was heaw, and more than once her
peoplp had come upon her unawares
and found her weenlne. but when mies-
tloned would leply that she was tired
and nervous about her part, and so

they Inld her, when she offered to do
so. "hut we will accent any sugges
tions "
So the girls worked nn
The last nail had been diUen. the girls
hail gone home to dress for the after
noon, as they were to usher, and a
gleat crowd was expected to listen to
the addresses, for they were patriotic,
these people of Westford.
Amy Wells had n little more draping
to do so had purpqselv stayed behind
so Harriet would wait for her.
Uolng over to where Harriet was sit
ting, she saw that her cheeks were
flushed, and no sooner had she put her
aims around her when she began to sob
frantically.
"O, Harriet, 1 knew something was
wrong and now won't you tell me what
It Is?"
Kor a minute she was silent, and then,
leaning on Amy's shoulder, she poured
nut her troubles. "And I told him I
never would forgive him. and I didn't
mean it," she moaned
Amy tried to comfort her, telling her
that there must be a sad mistake some
where. llairlet had become hysterical while
talking and what she said could be
heard nil over the hall, but finally she
grew calm nnd Amy, suggesting a walk,
both left the ball
Behind the stage scenery stood Dick
Mason Was that Harriet's voice he
heard? She was crying.
"I might not to listen." he thought,
but still he lingered.
1 1 had left his part nn the table there
that morning, and wishing to run it
vpi- in tho afternoon, had slinned in
the back way, just as the other girls
were leaving. Was fate taking the situa
tion in hand?
He heard the conersatlon and was
greatly moved at Harriet's confession,
though he was glad It b.id happened so,
and he hurried home feeling happier,
even though his conscience troubled
him. when he thought that he had been
an eavesdropper.
The hall was crowded, and the play
was In full swing, and according to the
applause. It was n great success.
It was a pretty play, and Harriet
and Dick were surely taking their parts
well.
It was the last seen", and how she
dreaded It!
She must fall Into Dicks arms and

I remembered. For a minute I wag

doesn't approve of liquor), I put

A TltUR AMERICAN GUIL.
A Sailor "Who Was False
Uer Cynthia In answer to the three
sailor boys and the one who signed "C. A,
It." I am going to relnte a lovo affair
which happened In my own life back In 1010.
I met and learned to loe ft boy of the
United Htates navy. He was tall and vttry
handsome and wds given the nlrk-name of
"Pretty" by his shipmates. We became
ardent lovers and wen engaged and to be
mnrried in June. 1017, as his term was
ended then Hut the war being on, we
postponed It and he enlisted back In the
navy again. Now. whenever ho had any
time at nil he would spend it with me, and
when he could not see me ho would write
to mo. Bo. to make the ions story short,
ftftr a while he did not call as often as
he had tho chance and also stopped writing
tu me. So the next time he called to see
me I asked hlni what the trouble was. and
ho said, "Nothing at all, nnly I don't get
th chanre nv more,"
I heard irom my irienns inai ne was
going nround with another girl of the 1018
model, who iis paint and powder and
blenches her hair nnd wears dresses almost
to her knees. ,
Now, this Kind of a girl he always told
me he disliked, as he told me many times
that whs what be admired so mii'-h about
m. 1 had no artificial complexion nnd
dressed modestly t am of tho polden blond
type, but It Is natural.
Last March he wrote to mo to glvo him
his lelensrt from his engagement to me,
which 1 did. and also pent hack the diamond
engagement ring n gave me at the time as
a token of his loe. H sent the ring back
to me, saline that he wanted me to keep
It, as he gave It to me as a present, but
again I sent th'i rlnpr back to him so again
he sent It back I then nut It away in my
chett and hae not worn It slnre.
I must say It was a staggering blow to
me, from w hlch I had a hnrd time to re
cover, but I have lived It down so far.
Now. about six weeks ago he wrote to me
asking me to forgive him and tak him back
again. I answered his letter, tilling him I
could not find It tn my heart tu forgive
him. for all the love, respect and confidence
I bad for him ho had killed by being so
false and fickle. He still keeps writing,
but I tenon his letters.
My friends tell me I should forgive and
give him another chance, but my own pen
pie tell me to have nothing mora to do with
him; that he Is not worthy of me, acting
the way he did.
Now, dear Cjnthla. what would lyi your
advice on this, or maybo some of tho read
ers could tell me what tn do? Should I
take h(m back or not forgive and forget?

WE, OVEU here, get the horrors of
war, but tho boys who face Its
daneers get some ot tho glory, too. Risks
are forgotten and most ot them never
think of death. That Is why tt Is so
hard to understand tho fears of rela
tives, tho reluctance of those who love
them to we them go Into danger, the
doubts entertained even by those who
gladly sacrlflco them for service, that
they will ever return. Even though our
boys Beo horrors on the battlefields that
can only be suggested to us, wo suffer
far more In Imagination.
Scott Raymond never thought of per
sonal danger. On tho day when his
company had marched to within hearing
distance of the constant cannonading, he
had given no thought to the gruesome
ness of It all. It had been an evening
of soft mists that are not mists, because
of the contradiction of the clear sky
overhead, of fading light and poignant
silences. The men had marched In
silence as the day had begun to close
In, and then suddenly, as though the
evening breeze had wafted It toward
them, began a constant rumble that
was enough to strike nwc Into any one's
soul. Scott felt Instead, fierce one
minute an.1 sorrowful tho next, biit never
afraid. It simply did not occur to him
to feel fear.
One of his company, a country boy
from Ohio, had turned to Scott at the
ominous Bound, and the expression In
both pairs of eyes was a vow. In fact,
the silence was prophetic, for It has
been said that no man realizes war and
Us meaning until he hears for the first
time the rumbling ot the gunB.
On the morning of thp day when Scott
and two other men had started out on
the scouting party, there had been talk
of an attack No Man's Land lay shim
mering In the Krrnch sunshine, Its
glistening stretches of wire catching the
light. Here and there, far out, lay
ominous mounds on the ground. They
might have bpen the holes made by
shrapnel, or they might havo been
bodies. Snags of cloth were caught here
and there on the barbs, but there was
silence across in tho German lines, si
lence that somehow did not augur well.
Scott never grew tired of looking out
across the expanse of ground that lay
between the lines. In the daytime it
was usually too clearly denned and out
lined to be anything but horrible, and
then Scott was filled with revenge and
rage. At night, with the softness envel
oping it and an occasional star shell
bursting over It, and the jetty black that
tho sudden flare of light left in its
wake, It was beautiful, and Scott felt a
great longing tn get tho thing over, and
lo give France back to Its people, to
oust for once and all this terrible blot
that Prussian barbarism had spread over
some of the most beautiful country In
the world.
Toward evening they had asked for
volunteers to go on a scouting party and
Scott had been one of tho first to. offer
his services. With him was to go Billy
Ilepp, tho Ohio man, and a little Irish
man from New York, named Barney.
All three were glad to be going, and
could hardly wait for darkness, to start.
At laBt they were to go out and be

Scott wbb silent with the Intensity

The men always joked about death. They
called the cemeteries by funny names,
they spoke of pushing up the daisies. No
ono ever considered death serious until
a comrade was killed. It was the spirit
that kept up the morale, the courage

men who steadfaqtlv ..funA n f...

Most of the feeling of the other men
was envious. They had been confined

of quick attacks whero they could get
out and kill, and instead they had been

so clear that there was hardly any
twilight at all. In silence the men
finished their meal and drank several
miiE-n nf strnnir. black coffee. Scott felt
the scalding liquid rushing through hl
veins and clearing his btVln. Every
nerve In his body was tense for action;
he was ready. Billy Repp, whose round,
boyish -face showed stern In the faint
light, slipped a little picture In against
his heart and Just for a. moment Scott's
own hand wandered toward the place
where he kept a laughing snapshot of
Ruth. Billy Repp's girl taught school
In Ohio and she was going to marry him
Just as soon as he came back to her.
Suppose Billy never came backl Barney
had never shown any feeling but friend
liness toward any one. He never talked
of his home to the men, and If he had
any emotions at all he concealed them
so admirably that no one ever suspected
them. They wcro a queer mixture, thes
men going out on an Important mission,
perhaps never to come back, nnd yet all
three had Just one idea paramount,
and were working toward just one goal,
