"Po I intrude?" he asked. "If so \ I will go on and talk with the la- ' dies." "Not at all, my boy," Livingstone | surred him. "You are like one of > the family now, snd I do not mind ' you knowing the truth. I called ] at Stewart's office to-day and asked j him to try to persuade Cynthia to let i me pay for her wedding. I have ' made a concession In allowing her ; to get her own trousseau—but she [ insisted upon doing that. She also , wished to pay all other expenses. , That I forbade. She cannot afford it." "Poor girl!" The exclamation ! was Milton's and was fraught with j so much feeling that Stewart turned ! his head to look at him. But his ! only comment was—"Right you are, Van!" "Yes, indeed, it was hard." Stephen Livingstone admitted, "yet not as hard as it would have been had she'not had me to look out for her, and if she had not been so I happy as to fall in love with a man i who is abundantly able to provide j for her. But when she accepted j Stewart she did not know this." he hastened to add. Neither man .spoke. Mr. Living- j stone cleared his throat before pro- I ceeding. "You can readily understand that j as she is my dead < sister's only | child, I want to do all I can for her. i Therefore. I insisted on paying for ; her wedding. She objected so strenu- | ously to this that I asked Stewart I to use his influence with her, with- j out telling her that I had suggested 1 his doing so." "There was no need of my exert- • ing my influence —if I have any," j Stewart remarked dryly. "Cynthia ! had already made up her mind to do I as you ask.'' "Good!" Livingstone ejaculated. "I am glad she is so sensible. I want it to be understood' that I mean to do as well for her as for my own daughter." A train an awkward silence. Mr. ! Livingstone gave a short laugh.

I must tell you about it. It is too good a joke to keep from you two who are most nearly concerned." The tension was lessened. The men appeared more at ease and looked expectantly at their.host as he left the realm of personal and private matters. "It was the afternoon on which you and Cynthia became engaged, Stewart," Mr. Livingstone continued, "that the funny mistake occurred. It seems that my wife had left Cyn thia at Milton's father's house, then, after stopping to make a call some where. came on home herself. As she climbed our front steps, she glanced at the library window. It was almost dusk, and the only light in the room came from an open fire. Against the background of flames, she saw two figures. "My poor wife stopped in hor ror. She recognized Gerald in an instant; moreover slje knew that Milton was still downtown, for he had said he would not be here until after dinner.

SHE SHOULD MEET HIM DEAR, MISS FAIRFAX: I am 22. I met a young man last fall, and have gone out with him seyeral times since. I met all his family and have grown very fond of his sisters, whom I see very often. I enjoy his company very much, since he is well educated and talented. Every time I go out with him there is a terrific "storm" at my house, as my mother greatly objects to him simply because his father was born in Italy and we are all Americans. !?he has never met him and refuses to do so. Now. I love my mother dearly and hate to make her unhappy, but as 1 have had a college education I am too broad-minded to see the logic of her point. We are friends only. That is Clearly understood. H. C. Your mother is wrong, if, as you say, her only objection to your friend is that his father was born in" Italy. This is the melting pot of all na tions. Most of us have either Italian fathers. French grandfathers or Eng lish great-grandfathers! From this heritage real Americans are evolved. Italy is a magnificent country who has sent us splendid human material. And even if this lad himself had been born in Italy he might be a true American citizeu with a fine back ground of old world culture and in teresting Italian traditions. Italy has contributed great citizens to the world. Some"~of the truest aristocrats I know are Italians. What is your mother's idea of an Italian? In fairness to you and to a friend ship which is enjoyable and worth having, your mother ought to meet this young man. First of all, she ought to conquer her prejudice against "foreigners," and secondly, she ought to cure herself of the '|pilllll Wp M ' Don't forget that our boys are going over the top H right now and expect you to boost them along , j|| by buying all the Liberty Bonds you can ' j 11 Wicker Furniture J I For Summer j Wicker Furniture is the real Summertime Furniture —its light, airy, M i M yet substantial construction makes it ideal for the Livingroom, Library, M J = P.edroom —and last but not least, the Porch.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Through desire to help a way ward girl, who wandered from her | home, then lost her position, the I writer on her departure to New | York offered her his card, telling her if she ecer needed advice or aid j even "financially, to call on him. The j above happened last summer. Since ! then we have been corresponding, j the girl wandering from city to city, ; never once going home, where I un | derstand she would not be welcome. I My object in writing you 1s to ask ! if, now that I am engaged to an | other, girl, should we still keep up ! our writing, my letters to her being I only words of cheer. JOHN P. I Perhaps your letters really at e j helping this girl. It may be that | the feeling tlrit somebody trusts.her ; and believes that there is good in her j nature is giving her strength, and jso if you were to stop writing to i her it might harm her. I do not j want to risk advising you to do this, iin spite of the fact that I rather j doubt your "having any influence in ; this way. But you must at once tell | your fiance about it and not risk the I ugly complications that will come ) up were she to find out and niisun i derstand. Perhaps when you are i married, you and your wife will be ! In a position to befriend the girl ac -1 tively and to really help her along j the path toward useful living. But I you may be mistaken about the i whole situation and there are two things I beg of you to do at once. Explain it fully to the girl you in- 9 tend to marry, and keep your letters friendly, impersonal and such as one man might write to another rather than the compromising sort an ideal istic youth might write to a girl of whom he disapproves, but who nev ertheless fascinates him a bit.
