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. Now give us

TUESDAY EVENING,

lars if we like." .
"But. Jim, that isn't all. Now
comes the real point. Anthony
Norreys"
Jim pushed me a*4v with a laugh
that was at once forbidding and
good humored: •
_ "Save Norreys for another time.
JNo use making me see red again
i just when you've coaxed me back
nto loving my lilao lady. 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

and a bird's-eye view of the six
o clock rush.
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."
I didn't get the chance to ask Mr.
Norreys what he meant —what he
knew about Carlotta, for the dinner j
rush was in full swing and I had to
rush off for tray and orders.
Three hours later—at closing time |
Carlotta Sturges came swinging i
over to me.
"What do you say we get a bit of
dinner together, sister?" she said.
I thought of Virginia, and was
scurrying round in my mind for
some decent way of refusing when
Terry "Winston strode into the Can
teen.
With a purposeful air he marched
up and seized my hand in a vise
like grip.
"Mrs. Jimmie," he said quietly,
but with volumes back of his ex- i
pression. "Where's Betty? Tell'
me you know where Betty's hid- '
ins!"

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.

In the first place, there is one use
ful habit that you could get him in
to gradually which would help hitn
considerably, and that is to imagine
the result of carrying out various
plans before he executes them. 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

LUXURY TAXES
Senate and House Conferees
Agree to Measure to
Repeal Them
Washington. Feb. 4.—House and
Senate conferees on the revenue bill
have reached an agreement to rec
ommend no change in the so-called
luxury taxes in the bill, but to pass
it as it stands in this respect, with
the provision that later a joint reso-,
lution repealing this section of the
bill will be Introduced and passed in
both houses.
A nation-wide campaign against
the luxury taxes, aimed at certain
grades of clothing, etc., costing
above a stated amount, has been in
progress for some time, with de
partment stores, wholesale houses
and even manufacturers protesting
against the levies as ah unwarrant
ed and unnecessary interference
with their business.
The conference committee has
also agreed to make provision for
depreciation in stocks in computing
the profits'<>f corporations and part
nerships.
The elimination of all the items
that have been agreed on will
leave the bill one that will vield
less than $3,000,000,000. whereas it
originally was intended to raise
$8,000,000,000, this amount having
been cut to $6,000,000,000 with the
end of the war.
Tobacco users will be among
those hardest hit by the new rates.
