"A fellow ought to be Johnny-on the-spot che Crst morning after his sisters arrive! 1 don't suppose the girls are awake yet, but I hste to start out for the day without even saying good morning to Virginia. You'll be sure and call her up oy ten. won't you, Anne?" But Virginia and Phoebe had left the Rochambeau when 1 phoned at just ten. and they hadn't said when they would be lake again. So 1 left no message. I stayed in all day waiting for some word from them, but none came. At' six the phone rang for the first time in a long lonesome day. When I took down the receiver Jim's voice greet ed me: "I'm at the Rochambeau. Anne; got oft an hour early and stopped to see Virginia. She says she hasn't heard from you all da>." There was reproach in his voice. "Oh. Jim. dear, 1 phoned at ten and the operator said that Virginia and Phoebe had gone out leaving no mes- 1 sage, so I didn't leave word either—, 1 thought it wasn't any use!" 1 cried. "I'm eorry, dear," said Jim again. "I think I'll have to make up to Vir ginia for our lack of attention by go ing with ner now to look at two apartments she has seen. She can't oulte deicde which to take, and as I'm not free during the day she ar ranged with the agent to let me see them between seven and eight."

So I'll have dinner with Virginia and Phoebe and then run out with them to see the apartment. That's the only I thing to do. isn't it?" j "1 suppose so." I agreed, but as Ij spoke and while Jim was saying i 'good-bye I wondered would he have] | asked me to join him and his sisters] i even if Neal hadn't been here? I turned away with a feeling of numbness. And it wasn't until 1 heafd a wild buzzing a few minutes later | that 1 realized I had forgotten to] hang up the receiver. 1 hurried to! | tlie phone, but got the tantalizing old] reply: "There's no one on the line now. j If they l'ljig again I'll call you." j Carefully 1 put the receiver in Its i 'place thin time and turned away,l i telling myself with feverish insist-! i nee that it had been Jim calling to I ; assure me that he missed his "Prln-] ce<* Anne." Then 1 went to egt '-t'supper." Sup per, indeed, since cold meat and salad, i cake and apple sauce and tea and bis cuits were as much of a delight to Neal as a formal dinner was to Jim. ; I set the table for two, and white 1 did it, 1 resolutely held back the ] foolish tears that wanted to come be cause the other of those "two" was I only Neal. "Only Neal," indeed, j Wasn't Neal my brother—the lad 1 i had always adored? When everything was ready I ran into my bedroom and began pressing the glass stopper of my perfume Bot i tie across eyelids that were heavy and burning. Neal must have come in ] without my hearing his key in the lock or his' step in the hall, for sud i denly I heard his voice from the i kitchenette and very hastily I put away the telltale cologne. "Table set for two, Babbsie. Who told you I was going out?" With sinking heart I remembered Bringing Up Father Copyiight, 1918, International News Service - By McManus EMI ^ H . | | ALWAV-P J ?

So; I went out and kissed him cheerily. I "Didn't you speak of this party lust; night?" I asked. "Yeah —and that haughty beauty ; sister of Jim's didn't think It good enough for little Phoebe. Didn't; think I was good enough, either, I suppose!" began-"Neal angrily. Then he ropst." have noticed how I was clinging to him. for he held me oft at arm's length and his eyes searched my face. 1 smiled at him as best I could btit his voice changed to' stern accusation' "Has Mrs. Dalton been with you to day?" "No, dear. I phoned, and, she was] out. And. stupidly enough 1 didn't I leave a message or phone later or send flowers or do any of the deli cate things Jim would have loved me to arrange for his sisters." "You haven't seen them! Has Jim?" went on Neal Inexorably. "Yes. dear—he's over there now.' Neal drew on his watch—father's, hunting case gold watch. "It's 7 now. Is Jim coming home! to dinner?" I tried to lie—but I couldn't. "No, Neal—he isn't." 1 explained about the apartments. But Neal was wild with rage—he whirled to the telephone and can celled his engagement for the even-: ing. and then came to face me at the table, where I had seated myself at' the percolator. "It's a measly shame" he be gan. But I interrupted him. I wanted him to realize some of the things I had figured out in the hour that had gone by since Jim's phbne call— the hour I had spent In thinking thinking hard. "Laddie, listen. I'm going to make a long speech, but I want you to get everything clear." "Go to It,' said Neal gravely. "Virginia and Phoebe are all Neal has. They're the last of a once rich and important family. And Jim is wounded, lame, thrust out of the army he was so proud to be in. Can you think what this means to him?" Neal bowed his head and mut tered: 1 "I can see what his darn family means—to you'" I did not let him see me wince as I went out. "Jim is—poor. Neal. He hasn't much to offer his sisters. So he gives them —himself. Virginia isn't a very hap py woman, I can see that back of her coldness. To her, losing her hus band is like—is like Jim's lameness. It brings them very close. This Is the first time she has seen him since the war changed Jim, and when she comes back to him needing him most —here I am. He has to make it easy for her. They are his people, Neal— his own flesh and blood. And I'm new —l've taken him from them in a way. I couldn't begrudge Virginia a little of the love she had long before Jimi knew I—was on earth. Could I?" I Neal leaped to his feet, flung his! napkin to the floor and. rushing, around the long table, knelt at my feet and laid his strong young arms about my waist. "Babbsie Bahbsie, darling you wonder! You have me—maybe I'm not much, but I'd —I'd just die for you. And if Jim Harrison ever hurts you, I'll —I'll kill him," he cried in his ring ing young voice.

A woman in a lignl summer frock passed by. "How can she look so serene and how can she bear not to wear mourn- ( nig'."' questioned one of the women dolefully. "I'll tell you." replied a woman I whose eyes looked understanding audi upon wnose lace were the tuint illu- j initiating lines ol Experience. '.She lias known a great love. She sent; her husband over there without a tear that he saw—doubtless she shed many a one in secret —knowing well that he might not return, for his position gave him duties especially hazardous. "The last thing he said to lier was that if he were Killed he would come and tell her himself; and so complete was the understanding and love and laith between them that she belieted him. "He was killed, and she says that he kept that last promise to her. That* she knew of his death beiore the of-, ttcial notification reached her. More-; over, she says that she feels that'lie I is often with her now. That- is why; she can smile; that is why she does i not wear mourning. That is wuy she; had an almost exalted look on her i face when she told me about it. She | knows that he still lives—at least lor I her." "And you believed her?" smiled the cynic. "1 certainly did," was the xejoinder. "In these days I deny nothing that 1 hear. I am Willing to believe any thing, especially concerning the ex periences of who have lost their best beloved ones over there while fulfilling a high destiny and in obedi ence to a great command." And why not? Poets and philosoph ers whose gift of insight is called genius have told us again and again that there is no death. Many of those who have been "over there" and come back teli us of the unshaken belief among the friends of the men who have been killed in the rush of batT tie that they are still near them and that they themselves realize that their loved ones have only changed to an other condition, the laws of which we do not comprehend any more than a child understands the language of ma turity. All sorts of experiences, mysteri ous but full of meaning, nevertheless, are told and are forming the belief that we are overcoming slowly but surely, in some way we do not under stand. that barrier built up between the living and the so-called dead by that last enemy man is promised he shall overcome—Death. But the cynic who prides herself on living and regulating her intellect by pure reason, smiled again when she heard her friend's interpretation of what she called vagaries. It is going to take her a long time to come to the belief that all things are possible to one who thinks they are; that "one day with life and heart is more than time enough to gnd a world." She lacks imagination and has never cul- j tivated what William James called the; open mind. I "But you can't prove It," triumphed the cynic. No. It >cannot be proved yet, but there are many people who believe that man's persistent dream of im mortality and the elimination of death will have its realization before your eyes in no distant future. Perhaps it is to be one of the great iluminatlons, the greatest victory that we are to win out of the war. Sir Oliver Ixidge said, in one of his lec turea: "Already we have set our foot prints on the sands of a new conti nent and are beginning to explore there." May not the people who be WOMEN DRIVE TAXICABS IN JAPAN i 1 i in J i -1 | Thia war has not made It necessary, yet It has come about that women have begun to drive toxica bs In Japan. Many of them have begun qprk in Tokio. lieve in the exfurlences they have had concerning their loved ones be called the pioneers? Scientists assert that the body is self-renewing, given tue proper toed and nourishment, and that it need never g'row old. So, too, uoes not the fact ol man's persistent ettori to over come disease and ueatll assure us that death is not a natural function; mat it is. as Emerson pnrascu it, "ail ac- j cidelit in life, not a necessity." So why not accept me tilings we; I do not understand that are part of the experiences of thh war, as did the woman who had lost her husuand—! serenely, while waiting for further | revelations—sure that our own little; rushlight of intellect cannot fathom j all the workings of a mysterious anu | infinite universe? I know that-when the young widow walked back across i .the sands that day, not only the sea'i and the sky hack of her, but the whole . visible world had a new and tstrange ! expression to me and an added signili- ! i cane#. 1 „do not understand how we will | prove that there is no death, but my !

About a year ago I met a man whom I really loved; lie is eight years my i senior and a tine fellow, of good char* j acter and earns a fairly good salary. A few months ago lie gave me a dia- I munil ring and asked me to marry | him as soon as he has a definite an j swer to some questions involving dratl matters. Mother and brothers again began to sum up their objec | lions, suying he could never give tne j the luxuries I now have at home, and ! persuaded me to break the engage ment or they would not speak to me. i As he is deeply in love with me, and 1 am very much in need of advice. 1 ask you to study what i have writ ! ten and advise me. PERPLEXED. A great many families seem to feel that the daughter of the house is not entitled to a life of her own, and they ; assume the attitude your family has i taken when there is any question of I her marrying and leaving tliem. If I your people have no real fault to tind | with the young man, except on senti l mental grounds. I think at 30 years of age, you would be quite justified in marrying him. A TEST OF REAL LOVE DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: An unfortunate accident deprived a very dear friend of mine of the use of his right foot. My parents have advised me against marrying a man in his condition, and although I love him very much, I find I am too much of a coward to keep up this pretense. He is very sensitive regarding his de formity, and I know it would break his heart were I to tell him that hi; I lameness stands in the way of our happiness. Do you personally think that love, thatjs, real true love, over looks all obstacles, even if the. obstacle be deformity? E. E. I think this circumstance supplies an excellent if severe test of the sin cerity of your love. A man's lameness would doubtless not even present itself as an ohstacle to a woman who truly loved him. But I beg you not to do this man the wrong of marry ing him unless your reluctance com pletely disappears. FASCINATION VS. LOYALTY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 20, and a member of the Unit ed States Navy. I have been cor responding with a girl for the past three years and we have learned to love each other. But about three weeks ago I was introduced to a fas cinating girl three years my senior, and she tells me of her love for nfc. The first girl has written me that she ; has found out about this new young ] woman and told me that she doesn't | think,*it right for me to treat her the way T have.

Hundreds of thousands of youths before you have been asking them , selves whether they should be faith ful to the good, sweet girl to whom they had pledged loyalty, or whether they should surrender to the bewitch ing arts of some new siren who puz | zled and disturbed and for the mo ment utterly enchanted them. Some ! times they have tried to reconcile the I two attachments, as I think you have tried to do. Rut it can't be done. ! if the fascinating woman who has I the great advantage of being older : than you has succeeded in disenchant : ing you with your first love, and you | come In time to he absolutely sure | that this is so, I am afraid you'll I have to own up to it and let unhappi- J ness follow.

In that case, confess the whole thing j to her and ssk her to forgive you. I j think she will. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: | I have a brother who is 17. He had 1 heen going with a girl of the same > age for a long time. They are in the ' same class at High school, and. in i fact, were very much in love with I each other. • Four days ago my brother learned that his girl had been receiving some attention from a student of the local college for two seeks. He asked for an explanation, hut they disagreed, and since then neither has spoke to the other. I think they still love each other, hut are too proud to openly show It. • My brother has brought his trouhles to me, and asked nty advice.
