The storj^ to be of the middle west, Mrs. Nicholson stated this morning, iwhlch may lead Omaha friends of the Nicholsons to hop* they may find Ifhemselves characterized, flatteringly of course, in the magazine pages, as ones some of our townsmen were In a Nicholson book. ” But “middle west" Is a term depending on one's point of view. With the Nicholsons It means Indiana, so Omahans may here and now abandon I hope of self-recognition In the forthcoming story.

Dear Mias Alen: I am 24 and In Iov# with a boy of 1*, who loves me dearly. He la helping to support hla mother. Hla father died with tuber culosis several yeara ago, and ha haa a alater who haa It now. Do you think he could take care of me If we married? — LOUISE. Tour question does eound selfish to me. If you loved this boy In the sight way, I wonder you wouldn’t he more concerned about his health than about marrying him and being "supported'’ by him. "In sickness nnd In health" the marriage lines read. You are both too young to marry, and especially under the circum stances. I do not hava the fear of tubercu losis that many people possess. I think moat of us are expoaed to It at one time or another. If we keep our bodies strong, conserve our health, get plenty of food, fresh air and ex ercise, we are not liable to contract the disease. And, even If we do, I believe a systematic effort In the right climate will effect a cure. But, aa In other things, an ounce of prevention la worth a pound of cure. If you love this boy do not marry him now and add to his burdens, Help him to se cure vigorous health, cherish your love and marry him a few yeara hence. Defeating Conventions.

Adele Garrison “My Hugband’s Love” _1-/ The Parting Question of Cauilon Lillian Asked Madge. I was fatigued enough In mind and body to be exceedingly grateful fur Lillian's prescription to “get Into bed and sleep until daylight,” but, with experience of her little ways I look ed steadly at her. “If you’ll follow your own pre scription,” I answered. She threw up her head impatiently. "Don’t be an anointed Idiot, Just because you know how," she quoted from my mother-in-law. then laid down the law with decision. "I have all day to sleep. The minute I have seen the last of you and your charges I shall tumble into bed and sleep all day probably." "Yes, I know your ‘probably,’" I gibed. “You already have an appoint ment with Mrs. Marks" "For the first time her husband gets out of the house, which will be nearly noon," she interrupted. “Seriously, Madge, please don’t upset the apple cart. You’ll need all the sleep you can get for that drive down the Island, and that's the Important thing Just now." I protested no more, for there was a finality In Lillian’s tons which I knew of old. It makes absolutely useless any attemped to turn her from a line of action she has mark ed out for herself. Secretly I was glad that my conscience and my wishes were at peace, and I crawled thank fully Into bed and screened my face from the light and Immediately fell Into a aleep ao profound that tha next thing I knew was Lillian shak ing me. "You must have needed eleep.” she eaid pityingly. "lam so lorry to waken you, It’a getting light.” “You Look Wide Awake.” Through the window I saw tha melting of the darkness into the grey of the dawn, and sprang from the bed, looking intently at her. "How do you manage It?” 1 asked. "You look postively fresh and wide awake, and yet I’ll wager you haven't had a wink of sleep.” "I won’t take your wager.” she replied. "But I've had what's better a hot plunge and an ice-cold needle shower. Hurry with your dressing, lady. Your breakfast is almost ready. I'll get the glrle up as soon as you've finished dressing and give them their breakfast while you're gone to pre sent ■the signet ring of the Earl of Essex." The merry, quizzloal glance which accompanied her worda brought a quick flush to my cheek, and then anger at my own embarrassment made my face fairly burn. I knew that Lillian was getting a bit of quiet amusement out of the contre temps which compelled me, because of a forgotten garage check, to sum mon Harry Underwood from his un known lodgings with the scarab which lie melodramaMcally had given me J "DIAMONDS— Have One Laid Away for Christmas ALBERT EDHOLM Upstairs Jswtler 2d Floor City Nat’l Bldg. ■ — — i . / There’s a hearty western welcome in that cup of Hills Bros Coffee • SYMBOL of western hospitality, pride of the coffee-loving Westl A tradition of wonderful coffe«, born in homes of wealth and natural discrimination throughout the West and carried to every port of civ ilization on the globe.

X was determined, however, that my voice and manner should belie my flushed face, and I managed a light laugh as I started for the needle shower which Ivllllan had recommend ed as a sure cure for sleepiness. "I trust you don't predict the earl's fate for me," I said. Madge's Strange Errand. Her face shadowed quickly, and all at once I remembered the touch of superstition, heritage of some far-off Hibernian ancestor, which sometimes surprisingly manifests Itself In her. "Don't talk nonsense.” she said crossly, and then she laughed at her own folly. But when I had finished my shower and had hurried through my dressing and my breakfast, the shadow of worry was still In her eyes as she went to the door with me. "You’re sure this Is safe—this place to which you’re going?" she began, and then amended ner speech quickly: "But of course, Harry wouldn’t send you into danger of any kind! However, be careful, won’t you?” "Of course, you ridiculous chlldl” I answered, stooping and kissing her, hut she detained me, her hand upon tny arm, her eyes looking into min "Did Harry say positively that .hp had a man reckoning up Ora Draper?" she asked anriously. “Positively—also absolutely.” 1 an swered, but the lauglit which 1 sent back over my shoulder to her as I walked away from the door was de cidedly a forced one. I did not fear Grace Draper In the face of Mr. Underwood’s assurance that he would have her watched, but I did not care to hear her name.
