SEEDS should always be eewn In
straight rows, no matter where they
are planted, eays the United States
Department of Agriculture. In a window-box,
the seli should be well pressed
down nnd than lnid off In straight rows,
about two inches apart. By planting
in straight rows the seedlings will be
mere uniform in size and shape and
thinning nnd cultivating will be mere
easily accomplished. After the seeds
ere sewn nnd covered, the surface
should again be firmed by means of n
smooth beard. Uma beans, melons,
cucumbers nnd ether garden crops may
dc started in tnese ecrry easKcts in
doers and the whole transferred te the
garden when the weather permits, thus
gaining considerable time. The smaller
the seeds the shallower the ceverlrz
should be. Theeccd-bed should never be
allowed te become dry, but great care
should be taken that tee much water
Is net applied. Plants require the no
tion of air upon their roots, and an
excess of water in the soil will exclude
the air. Toe frequent nnd heavy water
ings will cause the damplng-eff of the
seedlings. Just before transplanting
time harden the plants by exposing
them te the cold air during geed
weather. In the daytime, and protecting

Tracy u-itheut loving him for the
reason that she cannot bear te sec
him ruin his life through infatuation
for Daisy Castleten, of "The Jelly
Revelers." Xlcl: learns tic truth,
and is fearful that the has met the
man who has the peuw te aicaken
her love. In Jcrvil Britten, tche
is te play opposite Carel in a
drama given for charity, Oarel herself
is strongly attracted by Jervls, and
is restlessly unhappy. Britten finds
himself mere than ordinarily attraettd
by Carel and discovers, through
Vclma Craven, a jealous, catty
iceman, that Carel and Xick are net
happy. In the meantime Daisy
tcritcs te Sick and aski him te caU.
CIIAPTEU XV
Desperation
"VTICK had never taken Carel te a.
-l rehearsal since that first evening.
It wasn't thnt he did net want te go.
but Kick was proud. He had no wish
te piny the spying- husband, and he
was almost certain new thnt Carel cared
fr Jervls Tlritten. She never men
tioned his nnme, but elie teemed te have
a new Interest in life and she was mere
thnn ordinarily attracted by the play.
Perhaps if Nick had taken licr In
hnnd. If he had asserted his rights ever
her, If he had been anything but hum
blv ndnrtne. Carel might hove turned
te hitn. Hut bhe was used te his ado
ration and it had never awakened any
thing in her, while she was quitu con
scious new that something in her,
something that until new she hnd been
unaware of, had stirred into life through
her friendship with Jervis Britten.
Since that day at tea he had been
merely friendly. Even during their
intlmate scene together, he took no
nrlventaee of her. He was delnu this
purpeely; he wonted te plque her; he
wanted her net te be frightened when
he declared himself again.
Vclma Crnvcn watched BriUen play
the fcccne with Carel from the sidelines,
and although she watched closely she
could detect nothing that would she
her reason te believe that Ilritten eared
for Carel. Carel, tee, was improving
In ht-r part. She was letter perfect in
her lines, nnd Ehe was able te threw
herself Inte the role with mere aban
don new that she was net se conscious
of Britten's nearness.
Velma felt exultantly that the change
In Britten was due te the talk they had
had together, and she was mere than
ever glad thnt she had eald what she
had about Carel, as ler carol, Bhe
was nt first relieved because of Britten's
nloefncss; It gave her a chance te re
gain her ba'ance, te think mere clearly.
But seen, just us Britten hud known it
would, it troubled ner. Mic began te
wonder if she no longer Interested him,
and for the first ttine she faced the fact
that she loved him.
Slip admitted the truth agonizingly,
her pride humbled te the ground, and
sin- tried by every means te tear this
feeling out of her heart. But the
glamour of Britten was all about her:
he spelled romance : te be with him was
the one joy she had in life, and te feel
that he had let Interest in hei uhlle it
was a staggering blew te her pride, did I
a great deal te intensify her feeling for
blm.
The night before the dress 'rehearsal
they were going hurriedly through the
play for the last time. ,
Carel had net slept well nnd her
nerves were all en edge. She was verv
gay, however, forcing herself te laugh
and talk se as net te hhew her real feel
ings. She played her part desperately.
It gave color te her acting, it lifted her
out of herself and mnde her a vivid
chnraetcr, and ehe was astoundingly
beautiful.
When Britten caught her in his arms
n the second act. she felt n chanre In
hlra, and for the first time ehe looked
directly into his eyes with something
in her own that he hed never seen there
before.
His arms tightened nbeut her. "Dar
ling!" he whispered tensely.
Her Inshes dropped and the was con
scious thnt he was going en with his
part. Thnt one shnrply whispered word
hed been for her cars alone. Sheeaueht
hvr cue from him and went en with her
lln.es, nnd the slight trembling of her
veie gave reality te the scene she was
plnyvng.
Tltcn sudtenly It was ever and a
little cheer came from the sidelines.
"Carel, you were wonderful," came
in Graces voice; "simply wonderful,
as geed as a professional,"
Carel Bmlled, turned toward Grace,
and found herself looking Inte Nick's
eyes. He hnd come in whlle she was
playing and she had net known it

Says 8ecend Leve Is Best
Dear Cynthia This Is nn answer te
Dear "Goulash" Perhaps this may
help you with your Problem. I am i a
Irtrl of twenty-three and have had quite
a little experience with the opposite sex.
I would far rather be a man s last love
than his tlrst. The only feeling I have
new for the first Ieve Ib that If there
hadn't been a tlrst there might net have
been a second or third. This may sound
frivolous, but the people you like at
seventeen you rarely care for at twenty
three, and the man I leve new Is much
different from the ethers. There are
exceptions, of ceurse, but aa n rule one
learns by cxporlence and comparison.
Am I right. C-nthln, or wrong?
First Is better In some cases and later
le-e in ethers.
What 8he Thinks of First Leve
Dear Cynthia A few words te "Gou
lash." since "Goulash" Is very much
Interested In this question which lie
asks: What Is a girl's feeling In regard
te flm leve and does It mean much or
lltWcu "Goulash." I will .try te express
my opinion as best I can since- you
would like te have seme of the opinions
en the above question.
Te tell you the truth, this question
is net very easy te answer, as every
thing depends upon the individuals
themselves. There are seme girls that
take everything seriously as te their
first leve and seme that merely take
their leve affairs as a Jeke ; of course,
this Is found nmeng both sexes.
I think a girl's feeling In regard
te nor first leve (If It nvTcnlly love and
net Just fickleness) Is mere likely te
remain deep down In her heart always,
no matter what new levers she may
have afterward. When she has given
her heart te her first love. It Is hard
te forget and, therefore, means a geed
deal te her.
Hew many of you readers agree with

as it appears at present What has I ability te srasn thn -rlfti,i,.. il
become of the clean, uhole?emo debates i risk taken ertli. .. .UaMS .of. th
of the days gene by? Instead of help- T 'f,"' ,"r 'I1?ec.0nsUCnCCS et lt u
Ing each ether by .writing cheerful and ' . I,nfnvrable.
inaplrlng letters there stems te be a
general tendency ttt drift Inte dlrcua dlrcua
slens relating te "Beauty" (?)), "Flap
pers" nnd "International Marriage?."
May I offer a suggestion, Cynthia?
Why net appoint yourself a commtttee
of ene te censer all letters contributed?
I knew you de te a certain extent. But
why net refuse te print such "Lraih" aa
that submitted by "Handsome" and the
rest of the pests belonging te that
breed? -It seems te me tliere 13 enough
conceit In this world without printing
It In capital letters under the peti name
ej "Handsome."
I must confess that I had Just nbeut
reached the point uhcre I felt like sklp
p ng jour page oath night. Then ene
night I saw u letter which made my
bleed bell. Result, this pretest of mlna.
I arti a pretty quiet sort of a chap,
and It takes a let te ruffle me. But
when I hear or read of any one knock
ing the American girl I see red. Some
-. random uaiia her of making
an Inferior wife as compared with these
of ferelBn blrtll. isn't it remarnaui--Cynthia,
that a nation of women wlv
have given us such men as Washlngtet
Lincoln, Pershing and hundreds e
ethers of equal greatness should be
called "Inferior"? . M A
The .trouble with most of these
"kneckers" Is that they pick the one
bad apple out of the barrel and upon
the strength of Its appearance condemn
the rest of the let
There seems te be some doubt as te
the true American. But there should
net be. It Is net a question of birth or
nationality of parents; rather one of
sentiment and right thinking. An
American Is Any native who loves this
country above nil ethers ; loves It enough
te sacrifice and stick up for it, right
or wrong, and abides by its Constitu
tion. America for Americans.
It might be well, Cynthia, te remind
these foreign eympathlzers and for
eigners as well Uiat they were net
compelled te come here, neither are
they compelled te remain. Let them
marry girls of ether nationalities. Who
cares? But let them remember that
thcre are any number cf men In this
country who object most strenuously te
naving American gins classed as in
ferior matrimonial prospects. When
better women are created they will be
Americana Even new they are the
height of perfection, far above the men
tliey marry.
I thank you, Cynthia.

iu.i ke a lovely balltul.) Jiy heart has
been wreneLed by a sorrowful night
i;oe(l nljht, my love, my love, geed
night. (Meme te secretary : Itemlnd me
te write a ballad about this tomorrow
tuenilng.) Anyway, my heart has been
wrenched. My soul has been desolated
my lintr feclinss outraged. I have
just viewed one of the metrt pitiful re
cults of our modern civilization.

My first feeling was one of dismay
Hint fe many people hnd se little te de

window making It almost Impessible for
ine te we. But this feeling evaporated
after I had watched the sorrowful chef
doing bis stuff.

te myself, this man Is an artist. It
ln t right thut he should work like
this and get no tribute, net even the
passing tribute of u nigh.
Seme day I shall go in tliere and
