Anno Makes a Nciv Friend
'tow childhood Anne 'Carter 'had
h(en kept dotcn bu her father. When
time teas seven her mother com
'milled nicide by jumpyna into the
liver, 'A thing happened 6eciiMe
Mice Carter could not sland it to
arc Anne whipped with a strap for a
'childish HI of vanity. Aflrr the
uaacdy the family moved to Green
ville, -d small toicn, and Anne teas
Sinunht up there, Sic toas sent to
,cl,ool, but she teas not allowed to
take any friends. In spile of this
ihc did male friends with Cherry
rinrdiitfl, and hept up the fiicndship
-utttl Chert y terttt to college, When
Unne teas eighteen her father intro
duced a man into the household, a
ircll-to'do young farmer named Sny
der, tchom Anttc immediately fft
HUd. Her father, by broad hints,
mode Anne understand that Mr. Sny
der HOttld make an txccllent husband.
TUB library ,t Greenville was small,
with boots crowded closely on nar-
shelves 'nil about the walls
MmMookfnjr little woman presided at
Iho desk. Her uamo was Miss Steven
mm nnd she hod always been very kind
In Anne. There was somcthlnp about
Anne, n radiance, an inner light that
I lie older woman felt. Anno had a
reference for books. She was not like
iLe nvcraRC young girl who camo
boisterously into the plare asking for
Iho newest novel, selecting books at
landom, and frequently because they
rcsayly jacketed.
As-Jho came in out ot the sunshine
Hiis morning Silas Stevenson smiled.
She looked closely at Anne and thought
that the girl's face was unusually white,
nnd then quite suddenly Anne plunged
into the story of the ruined book. 'Shn
tJiil not toll Miss Stevenson how it linp
nenetl. she did not say that her father
Imil torn the book cover from cover. She
made up a llttlo white lie about it nnd
,hrevd Mis Stcvcnou listened and
knew when Anne was finished that there

want to pay for it just ns soon as
1 inn get the money." Anne hml finished
hmriedlr. "Thcii you con send for an
other one. can't youV''
Miss Stevenson nodded. "And don't
woirr too much," she said keenly; "Xo
mie much asks for jt. You can take your
I line. And now will you hnvc another
hook?"
"Oh. no," Anne said quickly. "
couldn't tske onother book now, thank
n.i. I'll wait until I can pay for that
one. Hut, 1 do thank you for being so
kM 'X ... ,
Quick tears sprang to Miss Stoven-
nn's eyes at the girl's words. It wasn't
often that any of the town girls spokn
to her like that. They thought her n
dowdy old maid, who took care of the
books because there wasn't anything else
for her to do, and tbey treated bcr nc-
rordingly.
That night Anne asked her father for
the money to replace the book. She knew
that t would make him nngrv, (lint It
whi Id recall the entire Incident of tho
night before, but Anne was desperate;
she wanted tho money, ,
lie flew Into n temper, just ax she
had expected. He said It was a .good
thing that a book ot that kind had been
destroyed : ,thnt there would be one less
in tho library: thnt ho guessed she
needn't worry nbout its being replaced.
She went to tho library In n few dnvs ;
she could,not keep away. "Without books
to pnlnt rainbow dreams for her, her
life was empty, rolorlqss. Her need of
them conquered her timidity nnd some
how she felt n real friend in MUs
Stevenson. This morning when .she
reached the library she saw a luxurious
car standing outside with a liveried
chauffeur sitting Immovably In the front
sent. That car belonged to just one per
son in town. Anne hud seen It stand
ing outside of the Episcopalian church
many times, and she hod invested its
owner with nil kinds of mystery and
enchantment. Mis. Carpenter was
Greenville's most distinguished in
habitant. She led the social set, ant.
to be invited to any of her affairs was
a great honor. Even Cherry Hardlnu
had fpoken ot her with awe. Mrs. Car
penter had interesting people from tho
city staying at her home, nnd although
she was enormously wealthv there was
nothing of the'snob nbout her.
The Carpenter place was long and
low nnd nrtlsticnliy built with wings
after tho English stylo of architecture.
Edward Carpenter was a lawver nnd
spent a great deal of his time In New
lork. He ndorcd his wife, and their
was a very happy marringe in spite of
the fact that they had no children.
This morning as Anne tiinidlr entered
the library, Mrs, Carpenter, who was
standing before ono of the1 book shelves.
turned nnd looked nt the girl with
bright blnck eves. She hadn't the
faintest idea who Aiine was, but she
thought her Interesting looking nnd she
could not help overhearing the enner
sntlon between Anno and Miss Steven
son, even though It was cairicd on in
lowered tones.
"You've, como for something to read,"
MIbs Stevenson said kindlv.
"Yes," Anne said swiftly, "I couldn't
keep nway. Would you trust me with
something, anything? I'll promise you
thnt nothing will happen to It. 1
haven't been nhlc to get the money for
the other yet," she said, still moic
softly.
Mrs. Carpenter hud been moving
closer to the two and she interrupted
the convernntlou charmingly.
"I wonder if you won't help inc to
select something," she said to Antic.
There was. something about the girl, nn
element of tragedy, of hnlf-stnrvcd
youth, that amused the most intense
into est in the older woman.
The Woman's
Exchange
(Tomorrow,
an offer.)
Mrs. Carpenter makes
To "Appreciative"
Any marriage license clerk could give
you the information you wanted, I can
not give you this advice. Of course you
know that 'it Is not an advisable thing
to do. It will snicly bo found out In
time, and you will dlsplcaso these people
much more by going against their will
secretly nnd allowing them to find it
out by chance, than by telling them or
abiding by their decision. Arc you sure
you nre old enough to be married?
Opening a Meeting
To the Editor ot Woman's foot!
Dear Madam Will you kindly tell'
me n way to open a meeting nt n siei
ography class organization? Also, is it
proper to wear n sport suit to n dance
to be'glven in May?
A LADY HEADER.
Open meetings by calling it to order,
and asking the secretary to call tho
roll. Then ask the secretory to read the
minutes of Jthc last meeting, have the
minutes approved and seconded. Then
take up the business or fun or whatever
it happens to be, of the meeting. Unless
this dance is very informal and in the
afternoon, it would not be proper to
wear n sport suit. You might wear a
white waist nod skirt if the affair is in
formal, or a simple afternoon dress, but
it should be light. Of course, if the
dance Is a private, formal affair, nn
evening dres would be not only better
form, but much more complimentary to
tiie hostess.
Washing Pink Organdie
To the Editor of IVowiem'i Page:
Dear Madam I huve an organdie
dress which T should like to wash, but
t am in doubt ns how to go nbout it. It
it a lovely deep pink nnd tho skirt is
ruffled. Any suggestions you con give
ns to keeping its color nnd making t
stiff again will be very much appre
ciated. MAH.
Wash the dress in prepared soap
thins, following the directions carefully.
Mnke the suds with hot water, but let it
get lukewarm befote putting in the or
gandie. Do not rub It ; merely squeeze
it up and down in tho suds, and rinse in
cool water1. Dry it in the sliHdc. To
stiffen it place In the Inst rinse water
two tablespoons of gum arable to every
quart of water. Iron the dress before it
is entirely dry nnd see thnt, it is evenly
damp, so thnt tlicie will be no limp
plfces in it after it Is Honed.
Try Zinc Ointment
Tb the Editor o Woman' Paoe-
Dear Madam 'For the last few dnjs
I have been troubled with pctspiiatioii
nnd it lenves a peculiar odor. When I
bathe 1 always use n powder which is
purposely for perspiration. Could you
tell me what could be the r'nufcc of this,
as It is awfully embairnssing nnd T
imagine till kinds of things? Do joii
think I should consult a doctor, ns I
have not been very well for a few weeks
back? T am seventeen years of nge.
Could you also tell mc a way a stout
girl could fix her hair? My girl friend
would like to know. She has a rather
plump face nnd in nbout five feet tall
and has straight hair. She is seventeen
years, too. , GLADYS II.
Thfs mny possibly come from some
condition of your health. You had bet
ter consult a phjsician, anyhow, If you
have ndt been w.ell. It doesn't pay la
let things like that drift nlong, you
know. They get so much wprsc by the
tlihe you do go that you regret not
having gone before. Try applyiug a
little zinc ointment instead of the pow
der. Thnt sticks nnd is very good for
thnt kind of thing. Ubc a slightly decnted
talcum powder afterward. Your friend
should not puff her liuir out over her
cars if she is stout. It would be .more
becoming to her (o drnw It bnck rather
sof(lv, letting it dip down n little over
her forehead. She could part It It thnt
scctris becoming. If she wears her hnlr
high on top other head the knot, thnt
Is. it will give her nn appearance of
added height nnd slcndcrness,
A Stain on Vejvet
To. I he Kdltor ot H'omas' rave.
Dear Madam Could you kindly tell
mo how to take a coffee stain out of a
blnck velvet dress-? Could vou nlso
send me some gomes that can be played
af n birthday party? There will be fif
teen couples, from fourteen to eighteen
years of age. H. S. L.
It is not easy to remove a stain from
velvet and make tho pile stand up
on it should afterward. Mix two table
spoonfuls of ammouin with two table
spoonfuls ot wnrm water nnd scrub the
stain with a stiff brush. Then, to lnlso
the pile again, steam the velvet by
drawing It oVer n hot iron covered with
a wet cloth. Ilrush the velvet botli wns
while it is stenming and be careful thnt
there is not a line to show where the
stenming stnrtcd nnd stopped. If vou
will send men self-addressed envelope
I will send you the games. These nre

There is no teat but your own conscience.
In this hour of world crisis, when humanity's need
surpasses that of any other day in history, a "let-the-other-fellow-do-it"
spirit will not permit a man to
look his own soul in the face unashamed.
Does the pledge card you have signed bear
"Approved of God" in unseen writing across its face?
Perhaps you will need to tear it up and sign another.
He knows the insistent cry for help that the world

He reads your bank account and knows the extent
