When we got into the elevator after saying farewells to Anthony Norreys, Valerie turned on me with i an unwelcome announcement: t "I'm coming In to wait for Jim and Lane, if you don't mind." "Of course," I acquiesced, avoid ing a statement as to whether or not I minded. Once in our apartment Valerie promptly began what 1 felt was her plan of campaign: "Thank go much for —rescuing me. That Mason man is—er very difficult. "Didn't you find him so?" And I guessed that the crux of; whatever situation Val was working j toward lay in her emphasis on ! "Didn't you find him so?" "Tom is one of Jim's oldest I friends," I hedged. "And so, of - course, blind to the fact that Jim's wife is a woman —j and therefore to be loved," said Val, ; curling up on the couch and fitting j a pillow back of her head as she j brought out her words with lazy and ; expressive pauses. The Anne of a few weeks ago I would have protested then: "But Val, I am loved —loved by | my husband. And Tom Mason knows j it. And he isn't interested in me that j way. Do you think I'd permit such . a thing?" The Anne of today knows how | stupid protests are when directed at j 1 an indirect person like Val. Valerie j cosby had a purpose in coming to] my table and joining Carlotta and [ Tony and me. She furthered that purpose by coming into my apart-j Iment. And in her own good time, un- | less I side-tracked her by saying too | much, she would carry out her de- j sign. So I proceeded warily. I I wanted to understand the jumble of I motives that had swept Val into a friendship with Tom and had led i ner first to try to hide it from me;, ind now to offer confidences about it. So instead of protesting that Tom j Mason's interest in me was entirely Platonic, I said: "Don't you think Tom is capable! of an impersonal attitude toward a j woman?" •t Val laughed, crinkling her long eyes at the corners. "Need I answer that she said. "Not if you prefer to ignore it,". I smiled. Beaching over to Jom's inlaid : cigarette box on the table by the I couch, Val made a great show of ; selecting and lighting just the right : cigarette. Then she took a deep j breath and presently, exlir'. !ng aj cloud of gray smoke, she said in v dolently : "You're frightfully in love with Jim, aren't you?" "Yes—and I don't care who knows lt," I replied recklessly. "That's just as well, since the whole world can see it," said Val dryly. "Do you think it's really clever of you, Anne? Jim's so sure of you he doesn't I ve to fight, to hold you. ... Or i: hat aloof but attractive Norreys man your method of —keeping Jim guessing?" Now I had to give direct answer—! for I didn't propose to have Val stumbling around the garden of my j heart, treating the most precious! flowers as It they were weeds. "I don't keep Jim guessing, as you | put it, Valerie. I'm willing he should 1 know and the whole world see. that I "Tie has my heart—all of it. As for j Jlr. Norreys, he is a remarkable man rnd I'm proud that he happens to like me." "Oh—dear me—Lady touch-me-, lot!" cried Val, sitting up on the I couch tailor-fashion and gazing at I me narrowly through smoke clouds, "I didn't know Mr. Norreys was too | socred to mention. Well, 1 don't it; ain—not before Jimmie or Lane— l or anyone. How's that? "There's no reason why you I shouldn't mention him.

While if I could talk to the dear, reasonable Jim I had conjured into being, he would see things clearly, sanely. I must stop Val from mentioning Tony—but I must not be driven to asking her to keep silence and share this knowledge with me as if it were a secret. 1 couldn't permit Valerie Cosby to think she "had something on me." How was I to act? "Jim worked for him once? Well, you have come up in the world," said Val, betraying her snobbishness. The Harrisons always had social positions, but when they lost their money they wouldn't claim their posi tion on sufferance," 1 replied, watch ing her face for the blush or the start of self-consciousness that didn't come. "Now that Jim is making money I suppose we will bo. driven to taking up the family position again." "And Lane's helping him make money," smiled Val. "Jimmie would never forget—what he owed Lane. Never. I've seen that," She looked at me like a cat with a mouse as she said this, and 1 got the idea she was trying to convey. Jim would never look at Lane Cosbv's wife in a way to cause Lane the least uneasiness. 1 needn't think my husband was so infatuated with me that he was blind to her. The battle was decided rather by a man's loyalty to a man. 1 hated her for putting all these thoughts into my head, and I re fused to entertain them there for more than a second. Resolutely 1 put them out. And in doing so I found the courage to try a bold stroke and so end this preliminary fencing between us: "No one who has lived close to him could ever fail to be loyal to that wonderful, big brown bear of yours —that is no one but a rotter," I amended. "I suppose, Val, that is why you came to us for protection tonight. Tom Mason's a woman hunter. I've told that to Jim over and over." "You think I flew to you for pro tection!" exclaimed Val. "Oh— thaCs too delicious!" To lie Continued. Advice to the Lovelorn Is Fifteen Too Young For Brides maid? DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: My engagement was announced last week and preparations are be ing made for the wedding, which will soon take place. But I am in doubt as to the following: My dearest and best 'friend is my sis ter, aged fifteen. I would like to have her act as bridesmaid, but a certain party said it would look out of place, for a girl so young to act as bridesmaid lor a girl of twenty one. Will you be so kind and give me your opinion. H. B. H. There are no hard and fast rules about wedding attendants. If your sister is a well-grown girl and it would not look out of place, it would be all right to have her acf as bridesmaid. If she is undersized, perhaps she would look too much like a child to act in that capacity. A Soldier's Troubles DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have just returned from France with the Twenty-seventh Division and think my heart is .broken over a girl whom I have known snce child hood. I see her almost every day at rer home and we don't speak. I try to speak, but she cuts me short with some funny answer. Yet for the past two years when I was away in the Army she was very good to me and when I was in France she sent me a few things,, one a lock-ring with her picture and that made me think she cared about me. And now since I am hoqne, she does not seem to care. I don't know the reason. C. F. J. Perhaps this young lady iS only coquetting with you and really does care. Sometimes girls do act this way, and the only thing that I can suggest is to let her severely alone for several weeks and sec what a little indifference may do. Don't let her see so plainly how devotedly in love you are. Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918..

LITTLE TALKS BY BE A TRICE FAIRFAX Most mothers will tell you that they would gladly die to benefit their children. And in many cases —perhaps most cases—l am quite sure this is liter ally true. It is no fresh discovery that mothers, speaking generally, are capable of immense sacrifices. Perhaps there is nothing more sub lime, more heroic in the world than the courage with which a mother will act in her child's interest at whatever cost to herself. That is, if the sacrifice is big enough. In my observation, a mother isn't always as ready to make the little sacrifices—those that seem to her scarcely worth making at all. But I should like to persuade mothers that it's often what are seemingly the little sacrifices that are really the most important. And that the big sacrifices, that they make so magnificently, are some times not at all in the child's best interest. Let me illustrate. Ever so many families whose im mediate needs require every penny that's available have an ambitious, quick-witted boy or girl whom they want to send to college. But where's the money coming from? Father already drudges all day long in the shop or office or on the farm. "I'll manage it," announces the mother. So from that time on she "takes in" sewing, or washing, or whatever she can get money for. She puts up jellies for the market, or she cooks for a woman's exchange. And most of this at night, after she's done as long and hard a day's work as a human being ought to. Well, the boy trips airly through college. At the end of four years he is "educated," but he's also con firmed in selfishness. At the same time, mother finds that her health is giving out. A Bettor Way It would have been far wiser, far | better for the boy's character, if he ! hadn't accepted his schooling at the 1 cost of his mother's life-blood, if ! he had partialis put himself through i college and borrowed- the rest of i the money to be paid from the pro [ ceeds of his first "job." This is ' what 1 consider a mistaken sacrifice. On the other hand, 1 wish that I mothers, young mothers especially, ■ would take more seriously the ques i tion of their children's health and j would be willing to give up small ! amusements so that the babies j might go to bed on time or have ] supper on time or conform generally Ito the health regimen that, is so ! deeply important for the health of j every young child. It's become, for instance, an rx ! tremely common thing for the j young mother who likes to go to the "movies" with her husband in I the evening to fall into the habit jof doing so. Of course, there's lit- I tie Dorothy. And the doctor did i say that Dorothy was nervous and that it was really imperative that she be in bed by seven o'clock every night. But there's nobody to stay in the house with her, and it's manifestly unsafe to- leave a child alone. So Dorothy goes to the movies too. And the result is that she dosen't I get to bed until mother does, i Now, such a mother as this has .iust as much capacity for sacrifice as any other. She would die for Dorothy without an instant's hesi tation. But she dosen't give up movies or card parties or whatever it may be, in the interest of Doro thy's bedtime, because she has never become thoroughly convinced that bedtime is important. All American parents believe in the educational system. And they | will commit slow suicide in order that their children may profit by it. ! But most of them have scarcely any belief at all in the importance of health for their children, or in the means that should be taken to se cure it. j Then very many mothers have a | profound and passionate belief in ! the importance of parties and party- I clothes for girls of sixteen and over. | In order that a pretty child of sev -1 enteen, going to her "first party," ; might have a conventionally com ; plcte outfit, including evening wrap, | satin slippers' and all the rest of it. ; I have known a mother to go i through a cold winter without any warm or suitable clothing for her j self and deny herself every other ■ comfort that she could possibly : eliminate. "Spoiled" Daughters Is this heroic? —or just a little \ foolish? I have ho desire to deprive youth of its "good times." But good times don't depend on the costliness of one's equipment. And a young girl who, knowing that the family is hard up, hasn't the initative to con struct a simple party-frock for her self from a few yards of cheap ma : terial, isn't likely to develop into a really competent and admirable ] woman. While one who wears eost | ly shimmering vanities that her ill - ' advised mother has sacrificed and : shivered to procure, is, I think, ac j tually corrupted by it. If sacrifice ; of this sort is good for the mother's ! soul, it's distinctly runinous for the child's. i It was by no means a selfish young mother of my acquaintance ; who, when her husband had a i chance to move his family to the j country, refused it, though her | three children were all under six I vMra ♦ua. To mv eves thev were all semi-sickly children, not robust enough to withstand the blight of city life. But their mother wasn't wise enough to understand that the country would have remade her ba hies. She couldn't sec that there was any reason for giving up her pleas ant circle of acquaintances and the convenience of living near the shop ping district. There, you see, was a sacrifice without 'any folly in it— a sacrifice that would have done her no harm to make and that wouldn't have been ignoble for her children, whatever their age might have been, to accept. But she hadn't the in spiration to make it. Opportunities to give our lives for our children are, after all, rather rare. Very few of us can count upon scaling that supreme peak of gran deur. But chances to live more sensibly for our children's sake, to make little adjustments in the in terest of their well-being, are as common as sunshine. 1 wish moth ers would convince themsleves that it's these little unheroic sacrifices that are worth making. Life's Problems Are Discussed i n> MRS. WILSON WOODROW Where are the maids of yesteryear? Where are Bridget, and 'Mandy, and Fifine, and Gretchen, and Hilda? Ask of the winds that howl over Babylon and Carthage and Nineveh! Along with "the splendor that was Greece and the glory that was Rome," along with Paganism and Chivalry and the Crusades and a dozen other outworn creeds and systems, domestic service as we knew it has gone to join history's seven thousand years. In the general shaking out of thrones during the past four years the seventy-eight royalties who went into oblivion were not all who left us. With them went, too, the so called "Queen of the Kitchen." The only difference is that she went of her own volition, and that while they never will be missed, she will be, and is. It is useless to blink at facts. The old order of housekeeping Is dead and done for. There are, of course, a few scattered homes which remain unaffected; everywhere peo ple, in the hope that old conditions will return, are trying to cling to their accustomed methods, and are making a sorry task of it. We might just as well face 'the situation, and decide what we are going to do about it. "Them was the happy days," al most any mistress will tell yt>u in speaking of the years before the war. When one needed u servant, one went to an Intelligence office and, out of a score of applicants, selected one whose qualifications and references seemed to suit. That was all there was to it. If one was willing to pay the prjee, one was assured of trained, efficient service—well cooked meals, a thor ough cleaning of the rooms, deft waiting at the table, spotless laund ering. If one preferred to do the training, there was always a flock of greenhorns, eager to learn at a minimum wage. There was grumbling and fault finding in those days, of course. Some people would grumble at heaven. And heaven is what this former period now seems to the aver ago housekeeper; for to-day the situation is in chaos. Owing to the cessation of immi gration from Europe, the inflow of greenhorns—the raw material, one might call it—has been completely shut off, while the immense demand for women in other directions of labor has practically drained the ranks of houseworkers. At present it is often impossible to obtain a maid of any sort, no matter what the remuneration of fered; while those who can be se cured are for the most part incom petent, unreliable and shiftless Women are to-day paying ten, twelve, fifteen dollars a week and up for slovens and counterfeits whom four years ago they would not have permitted inside their houses. They are granting all sorts of privileges and submitting to un heard-of exactions, merely to retain some semblance of "help." The price of a really efficient maid—if any of ihe extinct species remains—is liter ally above rubies. Then what is going to be done about it? The meals must be cook ed, the dishes washed, the beds made, the sweeping and washing and dust ing and scrubbing done by somebody. This work is fully as important as that which is done in the factories and stores and workshops—more im portant, perhaps, for upon it depends in a direct degree the health and well-being and efficiency of the Nation. It has been suggested that women should return to the fashion of an earlier day, and do their own house work. But, as life Is lived at pres ent, that is impracticable. The aver age woman wants to do much of the work In her own house; many of them under existing conditions have been compelled to shoulder the full re- sponsibility, but it is turning them into nervous wrecks. With a family of any size and with the many outside demands that are now made upon women, there, must be—especially in times of emergency or sickness—domestic help. Neither will h system of com munity service solve the problem. The American people are too deeply wedded to their home cooking and home comforts to become a race of hotel or community dwellers. Two facts, though, stand out which give promise. The housekeeper has become educated to paying high wages for this class of work high er than is paid for more onerous work in other directions; and the Worker will naturally gravitate to ward the highest pay. The old system was evil chiefly because of the arrogant and arbi trary restrictions which were often imposed, and because it placed the stigma of "menial" upon an honest and very necessary form of labor. Domestic service in the future must be conducted on the same basis as any other business. Let a number of efficient, capable women who desire employment get together in every center in the coun try. Let them organize, and out of their experience forrrflilate a con tract as is done in many other pro fessions and vocations, covering the exact scope of Uieir duties, their hours, their privileges, their salary and their pay-days. Let the organization stand back of that contract, enforcing it against the mistress and the maid equally and blacklisting any of its members who prove unreliable. Let the old name of "servant" with its obnoxious associations be dropped, and a voca tional pride and esprit de corps con stantly inculcated. So —and so only—will, I think be found the solution. Airplane Guns Halt Turkish Massacre Xctv York. —Reports of Turkish atrocities brought back by a com mission of American editors and clergymen who went abroad last March to study conditions in the Near East, are made public at t the headquarters of the American Com mittee for Relief in the Near East. The Rev. Samuel C. Bartlett told of one massacre being prevented in the city of Urfa by the appearance of British airplanes. The aviators dropped colored lights and let loose a fusillade of machine gun fire which completely terrorized the Turks. They had never seen aircraft be fore and some of them were heard to remark that only fools would be willing to tight against people who could walk through the air. Dr. Bartlett said there were 50,000 Armenian women and girls held in captivity in Syria and Turkey, many of whom have since escaped. Bishop 11. H. Fout, of Indianapolis, said that he saw refugees in the Russian Caucasus and in parts of central Turkey eating grass in the lields. "It is not infrequent," he said, "to see people lying dead from starvation in the street or along the roadside, or to meet emaciated children beg ging for bread. The Turks have taken all the food and no crops have been planted this year! Thousands of homes are in ruins." TH.tT'E THE QI ESTIOX Promoter—Oh, no; we just want your influence, that's all.

In their travels and relations with other armies they have picked up coins of fnany different kinds, and the mon'ey of all the Allies is accepted at virtually face value in this world metropolis. With a $lO hill one can get con siderable above the normal rate of exchange in any important store or restaurant in Paris; and English, Belgian, Greek and Italian money often is given one as change.
