(Copyright 1919, King Features Syndicate Irtc.) {■ " Jim finished IWs cup of - coffee, thick and syrupy with cream and pushed over the cup across to me to fill with the of clear, black coffee with- which he always concludes his breakfast. He had the benevolent look that crisp but tered toast and eggs, done to the final second of their foilr minutes,, seem to give a man. "Jim, will you let me talk to you a minute about —something important?" X said gravely as 1 passed back the cup of steaming cbffee. Jim got out a cigar—token of leisure— lighted it with the comfortable air a cigaret could never have imparted to our confer ence. * "You may fire when ready," he announced. I leaned across the table, clasp ing my hands in my lap to hold them steady. "Jim, it's like this," I said at last, holding my voice steady, too, and meeting the amused glance of Jim's gray eyes soberly. "I married you because I loved you. I always will love you, I know. I couldn't stop, if I tried—not even to be just a "pal." Y'ou're my man—MY MAN!"' Jim put out his hand to take mine, but I drew away. I hadn't finished yet. With a little air of embarrassment he flecked at some dust that wasn't of the breakfast clofh. "But love isn't everything," I went on. "There's work. You have yours, and I'm going to respect it I always. But I too worked before 1 knew you, and I can't fill my days— the hours when you're gone—with- I out work. So I suspect that's the real reason I've enrolled for the 1 Canteen Service durng the long: months while they're bringing our I boys home." Jim came around the corner of the tabdle and laid his hand on my shoulder. "You're all right, girlie. Go ahead with the work: you'll never hear a j peep out of me again.

When 1 once swing this big deal of mine I'll be ready to" take a little vaca tion trip with you. and with a hun dred miles between him and me, I'll listen to your brief for Norreys, In the meantime remember you're my girl. And I'll stand for no— nonsense." As Jim spoke, he seised his hat and coat and made for the door. I tried to intercept him, calling out as I hurried across the room: "Listen, listen. Just a second! Betty was with us last night. Y'ou njust believe that —she was! She did get back. And I have to see Mr. Norreys to-day—he's arranged to come to the Canteen. We've plan ned the fund for the poor boys and Bett's going to handle the money." But the door slammed on my words, and 1 couldn t tell how much Jim had heard. "Well—here goes to call on Betty again for chaperone duty," I told myself grimly. But Betty didn't answer her pri vate phone. And when 1 called her on the apartment house telephone they could tell me nothing more than that Mrs. Bryce had left very early that morning in a taxi, that she had carried a suitcase with her, bul had left no forwarding address. This disturbed me vaguely the night before I had sensed even more vaguely that Betty had a definite and secret purpose in com ing back to town so far ahead of schedule, and now I began to won der if she would have confided in me had I been less absorbed in my own afTairs. I had ho idea whether Virginia and Terry knew of Betty's return to town —yet 1 felt that in loyalty to her I couldn't question the mabotit her. So I filled in the day with rou tine matters, writing to Father An drew and Neal, washing and iron ing my only uniform and then dress ing and going to the Canteen to re port with the 2.50 Unit. Mr. Norreys came at five—and as "tea" isn't very popular affair with the boys, he got a splendid idea of the working plans of the Canteen Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service - By McManus •i ' I MAIE [ I HAVEN'T EVEN 1 I L I -w.

Our lieutenant and captain were charming to him but strangely enough it was Carlotta Sturges to whom he responded most warmly. "That girl's real," he said on leav ing. "She's a brick. Under the paint and slang there's a big nature and a generous heart. She looks like a brave sort—the kind to stand up under fire. A girl like that ought to know a few Anne Harrisons and Betty Bryces— they'd save her a lot."

KXftRJSBURG tAM* TELEGKSW 0 MAKING THE MOST OF- ~ OUR CHILDREN Q A Series of Plain No. SO.—IS VOIR ( HII.I) EASILY INFLUENCEDf There is no question but that some children are more easily influenced than others. Some are "wish-washy" while others are self-minded. Tarents sometimes tell us their children are peculiar in that they are exceedingly hard to influence in the home but very easily influenced by outside companions. Obviously, they j are unaware that friendship is the basis of influence and that their children are more easily influenced by outside assoqiates than by their parents simply because the compan ions furnish more friendship and pleasure. Of course, there are otfier factors besides that of friendship, which you I you will need to consider in dealing j successfully with a child who seems generally to be too easily led. Let us take a specific case. A father writes: "I have a boy of ten years who seems to have pracUeallr no will of his own. He accepts plans from oth er boys so readily that I cannot be sure of him when he is out of my sight. Is there not some way of de veloping in him a will of his own?" Yes, there are several ways in which you can help your boy to de velop a mind of his own. In the first place, there is one useful habit that you can help your boy to develop a mind of h'is own.

This can best be done through imitation. If you get yourself into the splendid habit of having frequent friendly chats with the boy. And as you know a boy- freely imitates one whom hp greatly admires. Thus, you have an opportunity in your friendly conversation to tell him how you always think deliberat ly before acting. Or, better still, show him, as ' practical situations arise, just take time to stop and "think" tfor the boy's benefit) nam ing over both the immediate and re mote advantages and disadvantages of a certain suggested line of action. If you continue this practice, you will some day without question see good results from it. But the method suggested should be only a j>art of your plan. The 1 larger part should be only a part of your plan. The larger part should be to provide your boy with something that he will want so eagerly to work that he will make all of his other ac tivities bend to this one. For ex ample, suppose you were to decide to help him build and Indian tepee: and save him from a great deal of waste. What your boy needs is purpose. He does not need shackles to join him to some disagreeable task, but he should be siezed by a passion to do some one thing that will hold him fast for a long time. He must have a comradeship in this; otherwise, at the moments of weariness or despair he will break again. A great deal of suggestive tajk can be thrown in. This will keep calling before his mind the pleasures to be gained out of the completed structure. Then, too, you boy needs tw be reassured that he can succeed. If he can be coached to initate and carry to completion one task after another, he will be stronger when the diverting attractions of miscellaneous matters come to him, after he has left your control. There really are very few cases where a parent, of ordinary intelli gence can pot devise a plan that will enlist the energies of a boy for a long continued effort, providing suf ficient atfcistance is ofTered and a thoroughly good feeling is maintain ed toward the child. Coercion will fail; co-operation will succeed. The fact that the boy is easily influenced means that you can influence him. The appeals that other boys make to him are such as you can discover and imitate; no other plan will suc ceed.—(Copyrighted, 1918, by the Parents Association, Inc.)
