TUTH always remembered afterward
"Xwhow she felt when she was awakened
In tho middle of the night by the sound
of the telephone bell shrilling through
' the apartment. It always seemed to
her the most terrifying sound In tho
world after that.
For several nights she had not been
sleeping at all well. The excitement of
the Whltmore's sudden departure,
Alice's trouble with her husband and
everything combined had caused her to
lie awake night after night, nervous
and excited. Things had finally calmed
down, however, and this night sie had
Bone to bed feeling dellclously drowsy.
She dropped off to sleep leaving Scott
reading a book in the other bed. Alice
had gone back to the davenport in
the front room.
And then had come that frightful
sound in tho night. First it had seemed
like a dream and then as Ruth struggled
to consciousness she realized that it
Lwas the telephone.
The night was hot ana Dreomiess,
and Ruth tumbled out of bed without
stopping for slippers or Kiraona. -iue
telephone wire burzed alarmingly and
then out of the chaos she heard Mar
tha's voice, in a half whisper.
"Miss Ruth?"
'Yes, Martha, Is anything wrong?
Ruth was wide awake in an instant.
"Your mother's took verybad. lou d
best come over right away."
"Have you sent for the doctor?
"Yes, he's here." ,
"I'll be right over." Ruth s voice
shook, and her hand shook as she hung
up the receiver. She felt suddenly r
and weak and leaned against the wall
for support. Then she hurried back to
her room, snapped on the light and
Bpoke to Scott. .itrit H
He sat up dazedly. "What is it,
what's wrong?" in.,.
Ruth was hurrying Into her clothes.
Her flesh felt moist and hot, ther6
-L? a breath of air stirring and
Tverything seemed to stick as she tried
to hurry.

them uncomfortably warm and they said

.Wn nnt to exaggerate everything
that ailed her, but Martha, sensible.
easy going Martha, never exaggerated
anything. If everything bad been nil
right over home, Martha would never
have called Ruth out in the night. Had
Martha told everything that had hap
pehed? That was what was worrying
Ruth most.
They took a car which crawled along.
A tired sailor lay huddled asleep in one
corner, his warm face upturned to the
glaring light, there was no one else in
the, car. It was all so unnatural, so
unreal; Ruth had that feeling that this
couldn't be happening to her. And then
they were at their corner and hurrying
along again through other dark streets,
until they finally turned in at the en
trance of the big apartment house.
A sleepy elevator boy took them up
and then Ruth was standing before the
door of her mother's apartment. It
stood slightly ajar.. Martha met them
just Inside. Her face looked grey and
old. It did not take Ruth's quick "How
is she?" to bring that look to Martha's
face. Ruth knew before she asked that
the worst had happened.
"Not dead Martha!" It was almost a
wall.
Martha nodded, slowly.
Ruth swayed on her feet nnd Scott
caught her against him. But she fought
off her weakness in a moment.
"When, when Martha?"'
"Right after I telephoned; it was her
heart."
Then Ruth was in her mother's room
standing close beside the big four-poster
bed looking down at the face against the
pillow. It did not seem like her mother,
somehow she had no desire to cry. Doc
tor Bradley said something to her and
she answered him. Then she heard
f" :
someone crying and knew it was Bobby,
little Bobby, nnd she went to comfort
him.
Bobby was crying with the great
frightened sobs of n child. He hardly
realized what his lois would be, but be
was horribly aftaid of death. Ruth
stayed with him until he dropped off to
sleep, then she stole back to her mother's
room. The city dawn was just coming
In at the windows. Mrs. Rowland lay
as if asleep just as Ruth had seen her
ninny times before when she had been
taken with n terrible headache. With
that thought came tho recollection of
tho many times that she, Ruth, had
thought these headaches a luxury with
her mother, had thought her mother
rather enjoyed the attention that went
with them.
This thought brought the tears with a
rush.

wonders why some,
Cynthia
Sometimes ono
girls cannot be sauare and face things.
If a girl loves a man enough to marry
him, why not say so, if he asks her
and be engaged not "expect to be" and
why have other boys visiting her at
regular times? To be sure if the other
boys call it is all right to receive them,
but why make dates with them.
It's a funny kind of love dear, that
plays with three men at pace, especially
if the doing so makes the man you pro
fess to love unhappy.
And a girl who asks if love could last
three years must have a funny idea for
the future in married life. Marriage
to be happy, requires a strong and un
selfish love on both sides. The only way
to be happy in married life is to be
willing to yield on different matters.
Never yield in principle, but be sure of
the principle before you make an issue
of it.
What About a Motto?
Dear Cynthia I have been thinking
after reading the daily talk presented
to the club column by our members,
what a gracious sociable and enthusias
tic crowd of associates we correspond
with. I think they arc fine, common
spoken, pure and simple facts which lay
the burdens on the shoulders of all the
contestants, for debate, and to think I
have never believed in ne.wspaper cor
respondence before. What would you
think of our having a little pin, with
the inscription of the club's name and
a motto. The motto that I had in mind
was "Brotherly Love." The members
might send in suggestions for a motto
(some one of the members has to start
it,) and then put it to n vote. This pin
should not exceed a dollar in cost, nnd
should be very easily noticed. The
readers should send Cynthia their sug
gestions whether or not this should be
carried through, and perhaps some day
we, the club members, may arrange an
outing if considered good by Cynthia.
BUAN.
Cynthia is sorry, Buan, but K. TJ.

1. A good little reminder to hang
near the phone for long distance
calls is one of the three-minute
egg timers. This keeps exact
record of the call, and enables
one to regulate conversation ac
cordingly. 2. When a voile dress Is too short
nnd cannot be let down at the
hem or tucks, add a wide girdle
extending down over the hips and
attach the 6kirt to the bottom of
this. This also given the fash
ionable long waist line.

Such I Imagine "Twenty-one in June"
to be. I should be very sorry to be
mistaken.
In my opinion nothing is more do
tcstible than a "clinging vine"
so meek, so thoughtless, so shallow
ugh! They take cverj thing for granted
and take offence at the least thing nnd
eternally fall back on n weapon that
no man can combat or even equally meet
tears! Better by far is thinking,
self-acting, physical mediocrity than
senseless, empty, ever leaning beauty.
Much as I dislike n "vamp" I hate n
"weeping willow" more. Boys, if you
want to live happy lives pass by the
"dinger" !
I respect and admire the woman who
declares her declaration of Independence
and forms her constitution, always open
to new amendments.
Miss "T. (). in June" is senible
when she nsks if one never tires of
having somebody bow before them.
Yes they do tire! And the one who
is continually kow-towing means no
more in a fellow's life than his crlng- i
ing barber if he has one. The pri
mary instinct of man is to gaze up at
the stars, not down Into the abyss. A
girl that ho can look up to, respect and
admire, he never wearies of.
All peoplo are created on the same
principle nnd the novelty of facial
comeliness soon wears uwny. But a
sensible person (as I imagine Miss T.
. in J." tn probably be), lias an
"inner of iuners" the brain which
can always be cultivated and trained to
reflect wit nnd humor, and, as a whole,
create a personality that is charming,
attractive nnd desirable. I despise
an embryonic slave, whether it be male
or female, and am sure nearly every
body does, also. AVhat do jou say,
men, do you care for the "clinging
vine"? Let me once moro eulogize
tunve Ml "Twenty-one in June" for
having courage to stand up for the
clean lights that are due womanhood
mental equality. Your column, Cjn
thia, ought to have more like her.

Business is the state of being busy.
American business is the entire Amer
ican people in the business of providing
itself with a living.
Only through the usefulness of all can
everything be done which must be done,
and everyone rewarded who does it.
Swift & Company, with other great
American businesses, interprets its mission
as more than the mere Science of Making
Money.
It realizes the surest way to make
money is to prove its usefulness; that the
more useful a business is the more suc
cessful it must be because it is a greater
benefit to mankind.
Today's success of Swift & Company
is a measure of the quantity and quality
of its usefulness of the number of people
it helps, and the number of ways and the
degrees in which it benefits them.
