OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN Taking a Mental Inventory BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Copyright, 1915, Star Company. Now that the summer season is ended and you are at home again, suppose you make a mental inventory of the past three months and see what you have accomplished with yourself and life. "What did you do with your sum mer vacation'.' Did you add to your store of knowledge in any way? Did you lay a foundation for better health, better work, creaer useful ness and greater happiness? Did you read anything of value and did you think any worth while thoughts? Did you leave the people with whom you associated happier, more hopeful and more ambitious to emulate your example, and did you add, in any way. to their respect for human nature by the examples you set them? There are people who feel that they are taking a vacation when thev eat and drink to excess and pass all their leisure moments in gossip and criticism. Nothing could be more depressing to one who has the interests of humanity at heart than to listen to the conver sation of bevies of smartly dressed men and women on hotel verandas in the summer season. Idle gossip, malicious criticism, trivial chatter prevail, as a rule, in such places. Many a young woman's character has been torn to pieces and many an ugly, untruthful scandal has been set afloat by men and women at summer resorts who believe themselves to be good Christians, and who return home to be faithful attendants at some established church of Christ. There are so many Interesting subjects of con versation to occupy our minds out side of the faults, failings and foibles of our fellow-creatures. Before you go away on your sum mer vacation next year it might be well to plan out a little course of procedure, and to make a few resolu tions. First of all. resolve that you will not enter into any conver sation which lowers the moral tone of those who participate or who listen, and that you will indulge in no criticism of anyone who Is absent.

J " TUESDAY EVENING, Then resolve that you will use what fact and skill you possess to changing the tenor of such con versation when you find yourself in a company of people intent upon gossip. It is not a difficult mat ter to lead idle minds away from individual themes to one of univer sal interest. A host in a private home who had grown tired of the rather aim less talk of his family and guests at table, suggested that each mem ber bring 'an item of scientific or historical interest to embellish the dinner hour. This suggestion was carried out und proved to be 11 fea ture of great pleasure and profit to all concerned. Each member of the household did a little careful reading through the day in the library and was en abled to introduce a topic of gen eral interest during the repast. Their minds were enriched, memor ies strengthened and knowledge In creased. If one's happiness is gained mainly from a discussion of the weaknesses of human nature this tendency can bo indulged by read ing history and scoring the dere lictions of people who have passed from earth It is much safer and less liable to provoke unpleasant results than giving this proclivity reign with' one's personal acquaint ances as the subjects under discus sion. To build up one's health by breathing fresh air and eating pure food is not the opiy object to be sought in n summer vacation. To avoid bad company, cheap habits of conduct, unwholesome and unworthy topics of conversation is quite as important as to avoid bad air In city offices. There are scores of women who have returned home from summer hotels declaring they have had a most glorious season, yet who have left behind them a trail of idle gossip and meaningless chat ter; women who have done nothing to increase the respect for woman kind, nothing which has cheered, helped, encouraged or strengthened any human being who came within their radius. Are you one of these?

There wasn't a word of truth In what he said. Cynthia, you understand"— "Why, yes, I suppose so," the girl replied. "You are Allan Ilarrowby, aren't you?" "My dear girl, of course I ana." "Nevertheless," said Spencer Mey rick, with decision, "I'm going to call the wedding off again. Some of your actions haven't made much of a hit with me. I'm going to call it off until you come to me and prove that you're Allan Ilarrowby, a lord in good and regular standing, with all dues paid." "But—confound it. sir—a gentleman's word"— "Mr. Meyrlck," put jn Minot, "may I be allowed to say that I consider your action hasty"— "And may I be allowed to ask what affair this is of yours?" demanded Mr. Me.rrick hotly. "Father," cried Miss Meyrlck, "please do not be harsh with Mr. Minot. His heart is absolutely set on my marriage with Lord Ilarrowby. Naturally he feels very badly over all this." Minot winced. "Come, Cynthia," sa'd Meyrlck, mov ing toward the door. "I've bad enough of this play acting. Remember, sir, the wedding is off—absolutely off—un til you are able to establish your iden tity beyond question." And he and his daughter went out. Minot sat for a long time staring at Lord Ilarrowby. Finally he spoke. "Say, Harrowby," he inquired, "who the devil are you?" His lordship sadly shook his head. "You, too, Brutus," he sighed. "Haven't I one friend left? I'm Allpn Harrowby. Ask Jeplison. If I weren't that policy that's causing you so much trouble wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on." • "That's right too. Well, admitting you're Harrowby, how are you going to prove it?" "I've an idea," Harrowby replied. "Everything comes to him who waits. What Is it?" "A very good friend of mine—an old Oxford friend—is attached to our em bassy at Washington. Ho was plan "Remembef, sir, the wedding is off— absolutely off." ning to come down for the wedding. I'll telegraph him to board the next train." HIS FRIEND HURL ■ HE HELPED HIM Injured Man Laughed When Sim ple Treatment Was Suggested, But He Thanked His Comrade Later. Once upon a time word came to Henry A. Voehl, of Plainfleld, N. J., that a close friend hud been injured, and full of anxiety he visited the afflkt'.'d man, who was suffering from a KI. rained ankle. "It was so bad that the leg had turned black," said Mr. Voehl in re lating the story. "I told him I would have him out. in a week and he laughed at me. Hut I took him a bottle of Sloan's Liniment, that night he put some on and noticed the ankle felt better. I told him to use it every day, and in three days his ankle was prac tically well. In four days he was work ing. He gladly admits that Sloan's Liniment 'put him on his feet'." Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at all drug, stores, 20c, 50c and SI.OO. "Good boy!" said Miuot. "That's a regular idea. Better send the wire at once." Harrowby promised, and they parted. Shortly after 0 o'clock a delayed tel egraiu was delivered to Mr. Minot. It was from MY. Thacker, and it read: "Have located the owner of the yacht lileth (its real name the Lady Evelyn), stolen from owner in North river. He is on his way south. Will look you up on arrival." Minot whistled. Here was a new twist for the drama to take. At about the same time Minot re ceived his message a similar slip of yellow paper was put into the hands oi Lord Harrowby. Three times he read it, his eyes staring, his cheeks flushed. Then he fled to his rooms. The eleva tor was not quick enough; he sped up the stairs. Once in his suit, he dragged out the nearest traveling bag and be gan to pack like a madman. Mr. Minot was tlnishlug a leisurely and lonely dinner about an hour latei when Jack Paddock ran up to his table. Mr. Paddock's usual calm was sadl.\ ruffled. "Dick," he cried, "here's news foi you. I met. Lord Harrowby sliding oui a side door with a suit case just now.' Minot leaped to his feet. "What does that mean?" he won dered aloud. "Mean?" answered Mr. Paddock. "II means just one thing. Old George had the right dope. Ilarrowby Is a fake He's making his getaway." > CHAPTER XIV. Tho Shortest Way Home. rTIINOT stood amid the colorful |VS I blooms of the hotel courtyard IXI !:lu ' l° o ' ie d up it her window, i . J with its white curtain waving gently. He called softly. And then he saw her face peering out as some senorita of the old days from her lat tice. "I've news—very important news," he said. "May I see you a nu. oent?" i She came, dressed in the white that set off so well her hair of gleaming copper. Minot met her on the veranda. She smiled into his eyes inquiringly. "Do you mind—a little walk?" he asked. "Where to?" "Say to the fort—the longest way." She glanced back toward tho hotel. "I'm not sure that I ought"— "But that will only make It the more exciting. Please! And I've news real news." The grr.y fort loomed In the moon light like a historical novelist's dream. Its huge ironbound doors were locked for the night; its custodian home in the bosom of bis family. Only its lower ramparts were left for the feet of ro mantic youth to tread. Along these ramparts, close to tho shimmering sea. Miss Meyriclc and Minot walked. Truth to tell, it was not so very difficult to keep one's foot ing—but once the girl was forced to hold out an appealing hand. "French heels are treacherous," she explained. Minot took her hand, and for tho first time knew the thrill that, en countered of('n on the printed page, he had mentally classed as "rubbish!" Wisely she interrupted it: "Yon said you had news?" He had, but it was not so easy to Impart as he had expected. "Tell me," he said, "if It shoyld turn out that what poor old George said this morning was a fact—that Allan Harrowby was an imposter —would you feel so very badly?" She withdrew her hand. "You havo no right to ask that," she replied. "Forgive me. Indeed I haven't. But I was moved to ask it for the reason that—what George said was evidently true. Allan Harrowby left suddenly for the north nu hour ago." The girl stood still, looking with wide eyes out over the sea. "Left—for the north," she repeated. There was a long silence. At length she turned to Minot, a queer light ih her eyes. "Of course you'll go after him and bring him back," she asked. "No." Minot bowed his head. "I know I must have looked rather silly of late. But if you think I did the things I've done because I chose to— you're wrong. If you think I did them because I didn't love you you're wrong too. Oh, I" "Mr. Minot!" The water breaking on the ancient stones below seemed to be repeating "Sh—sh," but Minot paid no heed to the warning. "I've cared for you," he went on, "ever since that morning on the train when we raced the razorbacks—ever since that wonderful ride over a God forsaken road that looked like heaven to me. And every time since that I've seen you I'vo kuown that I'd come to care more"— "Weren't you overly chivalrous to a rival? Wouldn't what—what you are saying be more convincing if you had remained neutral?" "I know. I can't explain It to you now. It's all over, anyway. It was horrible while it lasted, but it's over now. I'm never going to work again for your marriage to anybody—excep; one man The man who Is standin; before you, who loves you—loves you''— LTo be continued.] DECEMBER 12, 1916. the Young V/omen's Christian Association SAFETY FIRST We buy no seconds, no job lots, or any merchandise I'or sale purposes; therefore, when buying' your gifts at Robinson's Woman Shop you are sure to jti't PICRFECT (iOOl)S.

Instead of being greeted by the usual evening caller with a pleasant "Good evening," a feminine voice snapped "Gimme some money!"
