The fact that he came to call Just the same as ever after he was gone tho first five weeks and yet did not write during that time proves that at least his failure to write was not through being tired of you. But you say he asked to como to call since anojhas not come. Well, that looks a little bit like Indifference, dear, I tell you what I would do.

"Having looked Into tho barber shop, we will wander up through the audi torium, stopping to talk n bit or to o er ase a game of cards or tlddledy-wlnks, and then go down tho corridor Into the greenroom-to-be, which ut present Is really only a carpenter shop. Marvelous things havo come out of it to make our hut moro convenient and homelike. In the cupboard at one sldo you will find musical Instruments, a gramophone and records, wigs, grease paint and other stage properties of nil sorts. "The convoys of wounded liave a habit of arriving at the hospital during tho hours of the night. Then by turn two of us arise, dress warmly and serve coffee and cigarettes to the men who are brought In by the hospital trains 'and also to tho stretcher bearers and the members of the unit who work so un ceasingly for the sick. Halny nights the wounded are brought Into the hut to wait for their turn ln the dressing room, and there ono has a ohanoe to talk with them and learn of what Is happening at the front. After the last coffee ls given out there Is delicious food down at tho cookhouse. Ono cannot appreciate hot soup fully until It ls handed to one at the dreary hour of 4 a. m. The cooks pamper the Bed Ctobs girls at such times with hot toast and butter. "Every one has been so kind nnd co operative that we have not felt at all strange or out of place.

The next stunt was a relay race, con ducted as follows: ( Three-foot leading strings were attached to two small toy autos, and the company choso sides, forming two lines along opposite walls. A whistle was blown, and the captain of each sldo seized a string and started down tho room between tho lines, across the room, and back to the starting line, where the next racers ln turn seized tho strings, and made tho round trip. This continued till nil had "raced." No one was permitted to touch any thing but tho string, and tho trip had to bo mado on "all four wheels." The least attempt to hurry was sure to resuls ln a dlsasterous spill. A stick of gum, labeled "Emergency Tiro Mender," went to ovcry racer on the winning side. A "alttlng-down" gamo followed. Chairs were ranged in a big horseshoe and tho guests seated. Then a reader, a Judge and a small girl with a pan of beans appeared in the open end. The reader read an Automobile Romance, omitting the last word of each couplet The first player to rise and supply cor rectly the missing word was given a bean. The winner of this contest as in dicated by the bean tally was rewarded with a vociferous tin auto horn. Tho guests were then seated in rows, and before them the primary blackboard was set up, upon which appeared the story of an automobile wedding with blank spaces to be filled in with names of well-known cars. Refreshments wero then served from a small "oil station" ln a corner, and consisted of three "extra tires" (dough nuts), and a "gallon of gas" (lemonade) for each guest.

Members of a family do really loo each other and members of a family do somewhat love each ither, or ou may put It this way: Every member of a family makea the family what It Is. a-ood or bnd, nccordlnB to the single Influences eTerted, Each member like his homo according to its comforts, and tt la the lame way with lovo reciprocated. For real, ardent lovo there must be reciprocation. No man can lovo a beastly man. not even his oWh brother. Tet a mother will try to cor. rect a child she dearly loves by beating It. If that child ls bad she can easily do It. but if the child Is generally good her con science lessens the punishment. Neither tove aor congeniality Is shown lh a homo where dne or more members have too many faults or always fault-finding. A person ean laugh anA .v.n frarle ft 1n!tR nt u funeral and still have deep lovo In his heart for the departed and tho bereaved family. Ignorance or a nupor-nervous temperament might causo such acts without tho allghtett feeling nf dolnc any one a wrong as a means only to drive away distressing thoughts over a dead friend; yet It might also cause a family row. I,ov In always lea In a family In pro portion to the unworthlness of trust In Its Individual members: but aa long as a man has a heart he muBt have love In more or les degree for all members of mankind and even fdr animals that reciprocate love and kindness without he be Insane or a violent dyspeptic Open house ls a t.ood oure, and girls get rid of that bored look when they sto anybody but their beau.
