But even i the old-fashioned strawberry short ! cake couldn't tempt Phoebe to do | more than pick at her food. 1 lost my own appetite wondering how the ' poor child would stand the blow of i learning that Evvy had stolen Neal I from her. 1 knew I must deal it to • her this very evening. There was no evading my responsibility. If Phoebe | didn't know she mustn't be allowed 'to hear it under cicumstances that | would take her entirely off her guard. The minute dinner was over I led Phoebe to the living room, plumped her down on the couch with a box of I chocolates at her side and started my f j campaign: "Now we can talk. First let's 1 j tackle Dick West and dismiss him for all time." "I wish we could," said Phoebe smiling wistfully. " Well, we can," I persisted, but Phoebe interrupted in a tone of worldly wisdom that did not become her at all: "Paying off Dick West doesn't j matter, Anne. That doesn't wipe out • the fact that I let him pay for my i stocks and once owed him a SI,OOO ! ' dollars. If people want to talk they j j can just the same." "Who says so?" I demanded, fur- | | ious that Phoebe should have just j ! the ugly point of view I had been i ! determined to spare her. "Mr. West," returned Phoebe | simply. "He says he'd never have [ let me get into such a position if ! he'd known that I wasn't going to ' marry him. He says he thought we ! were engaged and that he can't un j derstand my jilting him just because I he hasn't made money in his invest | ments. It sounds as it I were an j awful person—a regular vampire, Anne." Looking at Phoebe's wistful, little | girl sweetness, it was all I could do i not to chuckle at her calling herself a "vampire." But I managed to re j ply without a flicker of a smile. "Honey, he's all wrong. Twist ' ing the truth to suit himself. He is I the one who is awful.

"But he was furious that his partner hadn't been on the level with him." "Then I can be happy again." cried Phoebe, lifting shining eyes and running to fling her arms about me. From my room the telephoneb bell sounded. T didn't stir. Bertha would answer. Phoebe clung to me and murmured her happiness and re lief. "Oh. Anne—if I needn't marry Dick West that leaves me free to—" whispered Phoebe shyly, leav ing her thought for me to finish.

To Be Continued MUSCULAR MUSIC "Thank goodness, now that the Hun has shown himself in his true color our ears are no longer shat tered with the noisy music of Richard Strauss." The speaker was Handel Booth, secretary of the Denver Philhar monic Society.

That it has been quoted oftener, , paraphrased and parodied more than j any other English sonnet, goes j without saying. There is a recent I burlesque on the great poem deal- j ing with the subject of girls who have no definite occupation in life j but that of waiting for some man j to marry them. The last three lines , are: "Thousands at their beckoning flee. And post o'er land and ocean with out rest; They mostly 'get the mitt' who sit around and wait." There may be "waitresses" to-day, but their number has decreased sur- j prisingly in the last generation or so. j Fifty years ago a girl who was not i married at twenty-five was frankly j regarded as a failure, and one has. only to read the life of Florence : Nightingale to realize how completely | young women were held in the toils : of the notion that an early marriage ; to any one was preferable to remain- j ing single. When Florence Nightingale began to broach the subject of professional nursing, relatives and friends brought forward young men to try and persuade her to marry. For the young Englishwoman was pretty and rich and of excellent social position, and why she wanted to study nursing instead of getting married no one could understand — least of all her family. But, as every one knows, she stuck fast to her purpose and was the means of saving the English army in the Crimea. When Jane Austin began to write her delightful novels she felt obliged, as a concession to public opinion, to keep her work-basket handy, and when any one entered the room she slipped the precious manuscript under a bit of sewing. For in those days it was considered "strong-minded" for a young woman to know how to write. She might be weak-minded, or light-headed to her heart's con tent, and no one ever thought any thing about it, but "strong-minded" never.

BLAJRRJBBURG ifu flftX TELEGRAPH and she hoped with all her heart he would not be old, snuffy and un attractive. It did not make the least particle of difference if he happened to be all three, if her father and brothers approved of him. They handed over the poor little sixteen or seventeen pawn who had to curtsey, dry her eyes as best she could and express her thanks for the great honor the old and snuffy party was conferring on her. Nowadays if a girl makes a mar riage of this sort it is almost al ways her own fault. She can work, and wait till the man of her choice comes along. She does not have to marry because the men of her fam ily decide on some man as an elig ible husband, and leave her wholly out of the family calculations—as very probably was the case with her great-grand mother. No girl who has a job in which she is interested and who had learned the joys of doing useful practical work and being financially independ ent. and who has begun to get an Idea of woman's real place in the modern world need even marry for any rea son but because she is In love. A girl who is proud of being a woman, and who has a gloriously busy, happy time promoting im portant things, does not have night mares over the "old maid' idea. The foolish words have absolutely no terror for this sensible type or girl. And you couldn't possibly use the old-fashioned taunt in such a way that it would wound her. No Sting In the Words In fact, all the sting went out of the term "old maid" from the time that girls stopped waiting passively at home for somebody to come along and marry them, though why any one ever found it in his or her heart to laugh at so pitiful a figure it would be difficult to say. She was a woman practically uneducated and wholly untrained, whose chief occu pation in life was to smile and be agreeable till she was taken off her father's hands. Wouldn't such a des tiny be enough to sour and embitter a saint, and do you wonder when their smiles and little coquetries failed, and no man came to take them, that the very word stood for ridicule and failure? Now work, wages and independ ence have changed the position of womenl With the advent of these things it has ceased to be a favor on that part of a man to ask a woman to marry him. On the con trary, he is asking one. And on the man's side, his accept ance to-day by a girl "bread-win ner" is a good deal more flattering because there can be no question of the honesty of her affection, whereas in the old days he was frantically seized upon as a release from spinsterhood and a "provider" of a home for the superfluous daughter tinder the parental roof. And nowadays a man cuts his moods more, according to his wife, than in the old days when the en tire household rotated around the gout of the head of the family, or if not hiri gout, then his pet grouch, or something else at which he felt at liberty to vent his temper and indulge his tantrums. The girl who had lived at home — and waited—was used to a display of temper on the part of the men of the family. They were spoken of as "the Lords of creation," and it must be confessed they did a good deal to justify that title. Her father raised "Cain" when he was angry, and she looked for further "Cain" raising on the part of her husband as his constitutional right. But somehow or other the wife who has had training in a profes sion or business expects reasonable ness and courtesy on the part of her husband and, what is more, she gets it. She has come to regard a display of rage and violence as out of place in the home as it would be in a well-regulated office. Well-balanced people do not go in for this sort of fireworks; there is a prejudice in favor of being "safe and sane" and that particular preju dice carries the day. The war was largely Instrumental 1 in doing away with the "waiting I same." For patriotic reasons all sorts and conditions of women took jobs, and, having taken them, they found out how interesting and ab sorbing work really is, and they have been loath to give it up. even though the cry for every available pair of hands is no longer so insistent. I want to beg the girl for whom "the term "old maid" still has ter rors to take thought. Fit yourself for some occupation or profession that will be an outlet for your own energy and, at the same time, a service to the community. Your chance of meeting the right man will be tremendously increased, coming in contact with more desir able men in the business world than in what we call "society," and if for any reason you should not hap pen to meet "the right one" your days will be less drab and your eve nings less solitary if you are vitally interested in something than if you sit —and watt.

J TELEPHONE FOR THAI'S HOOT Trapshootcrs have added an elec trical device to their layout, for the use of the referee, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine, which shows picturps of the arrangement. It is essentially the telephone-mega phone arrangement used for an nouncing trains at largo railroad sta tions. For trapshooting it is in stalled with the telephone receiver in the trap house, beside the trap from whieh the targets are thrown, and the megaphones, for there are two, located back of the firing line, one at each side of the shooters' plat form. Until now the referee has stood back of the shooters; his job is to call the pirds "dead" or "lost." There have alttays been serious objections to this method, for two chief rea sons. First, the referee could see the birds no better than the shooters, and consequently his decisions wero often questioned, and disagreements were not uncommon, many import ant matches hinged on the calling of a doubtful "kill." Corollary to this first reason was the second, that (he referee always knew who was shooting, which opened the way to favoritism, or, equally bad, charges of it. By placing the referee nearer the birds —more than sixteen yards nearer—he is naturally in a much better position to see what damage the shot actually does to each flying disk, and he is obliged to be abso lutely impartial, since he cannot see the persons shooting.
