At IS T met a yoting man whom I admired greatly. I loved him from the first, and yet It was three long years before my dreams were realized. Then we became “sweethearts" and for a few months I was perfectly hap py. But this did not last. It seemed my people had taken a dislike to him and showed by their actions that they did not consider him “good enough" for me. As soon a* he knew of this, he broke off our friendship, claiming he still cared for me. but would not come where he was not wanted. Nothing I could say would move him. Two years have passed since be left me. but I still love him dearly. Oc casionally he takes me out, but never will come Into my home. Would he have given me up so easily If he really loved me? BETTY JANE. Yes, Betty Jane, circumstances and all sorts of obstacles often come be tween two persons who truly love each other. But generally In the long run true love manages to triumph. From the fact that your friend makes no effort to win the liking and approval of your parents, I hardly think he Is In love with you. Prob ably he likes, hut does not love you. Why not make every effort to over come a. love that seems so hopeless, since your parents disapprove and the young man himself has not proved that he regards you other than as a friend. Enjoy the companionship of all your other friends and do not think so se riously and constantly of this one man. Just Blue: You can't win love by showing pique. You had no right to write lo the boy and ask him If he was engaged. Such conduct causes others to lose their respect for you. Now the only thing you can do Is to art in a modest and becoming man ner. Tt may not make this young man love you. but at least you won't hate yourself for acting in a foolish, undignified fashion. Puzzled: I would say get married and tlod bless you. You s«em to care for each other in the right way. You are younger than I wish you were for the responsibilities of marriage, but If you are sure of yourselves, I think her parents ought to give consent. Talk i( over with them and see If they can't he persuaded. Perhaps you could compromise with them and wait six months nr a year. Mr. Berk a Visitor. John Beck of Hollywood Is the guest of his sister, Mrs. n. W. Dishong and Hr. Dishnng for the holidays. Mr. Beck is an actor. He is appearing now in the movies and Is remembered as having sppeared In slock here with Eva Bang. At an other time lie was here lit “The Virginian." Central High ( lass 191(1 Reunion. Central High school, class of 1310, Is planning a reunion for Saturday night. Miss Kuth Sheldon who has spent some years since then In South America, Is making arrangements for a place. the Grand Central at 2 o’clock. I can't wait to get her In my arms another minute after I get there, and I shall have to camp at the studio for a day or two; no chance of going directly to the farm, or I wuldn't ask it. And tell Mother Graham I've a story for her that beats the beet melodrama she ever read. My b*; t to you all.—Lillian." My mother-in-law smiled In volun tarily, then sighted. "I'm living melodrama of my own now, not reading It." she said dole fully.___ -, -. . — to One—he'll have it staged ths very day I come in—he has a positive genus for picking the worst possible time for anything he does. So. Dtcky bird, will you kindly prod him with the toe of pour newest Jioots and aee that he gets busy right away? I must have the entire place swept and garnished, so that when I get In on Wednesday I can get directly to work, for I have a atack mountain high in front of me. “Madge, kiss Marlon for me, and if possibly can arrange It. bring her In with you to meet me Wednesday at than half of hi* time In the diplo matic secret service of his govern ment, and no matter what the press of her other engagements, she never turns down an assignment from him. Allen Drake I knew was with them, and ss I visualized the romance and adventure of the quest in which the three comrades of the service were engaged, a feeling comi>oundid of loneliness, self-pity and envy swept over me. “I'm Living Melodrama-” For the moment my life seemed very humdrum compared to the mem ories I had of work with them. The next minute, however, I shook off my ridiculous repining* and began to read Lillian's screed, with a word of apology to my mother-in-law, whose keen old eyes were watching the letter eagerly. . “if she tells you anything about that job of hers, read It out loud,” sho directed. I hail caught enough of the brief letter to know there was nothing in it whfch might not he retailed to Moth er Graham, so I drew up a chair beside the bed to which I had returned her In order to make Dicky realize that she could not return home be fore Wednesday, and smiled Indul gently at her. "I’ll read It all. now," I said. She settled back upon her pillows contententedly, and I began to read. “To the Dickybird and to his missus, greetings," Lillian began, hut I translated It freely, ns “Dear I Dicky and Madge," knowing how Dicky’s mother detested the nick name given to my husband by a cer-j tain coterie of old friends, and know ing also that she would not ask to see the letter. “Coming home next week,” I read next, for Lillian never wastes words, In coming to the point of her letters ! “And I have just remembered that; I gave Instructions to that moron j ■who pretends to be a janitor at th“ , studios to give mins a through; cleaning before I return. “Ten to one—no, make It a I.OOn; The News Lillian’s Letter. Brought to Madge and Dirky. "If you were younger," Dirky de clared didactically, "I'd smack you for snatching.” "If!” I retorted saucily. "But I'll acknowledge I was rude. However, when a letter form Lillian is in ques tion, ail rules go by the boards. At that, sirrah, I'm not sure I ought not to be jealous of her writing to you In stead of me!” "Yes. I can Imagine you being jealous of old Lil." Dicky rejoined, as he closed the door and w'ent down to the breakfast he evidently had Interrupted to bring me the letter. His tone of absolute disbelief brought a reminscent smile to my lips. Had he forgotten that there had been a time when Lillian's name was anathema to me? Then I reflected that I never had betrayed to him the full measure of my old feeling against Ihe friend of his youth. Lillian's keen eyes had seen it and her big brain and warm heart had at once set about the task of prov ing to me that my jealousy of her had no reason for existence. So meil had she succeeded that for all the rears that have followed, Lillian— next to Dlek.v and Junior—has been closest to me of all the world. She Is the beloved elder sister whom I never have had in the flesh, and I lean on her heavily in all life’s imergenries. Lillian's Assignment. The letter was half out of the en velope, just as Dicky with his usual carelessness had thrust It bark after reading it, and I drew It forth eager ly. There prol>nl>Iy Is no worse cor respondent In the world than Lillian. She loathes writing letters and she never Indites one If either the tele graph or the telephone will serve her purpose. But she was too far away for even her carelessness of ex pense to use a telephone, and sh« must have some message too length for the wire. I did not realize until I had open ed the typewritten sh»et—Lillian never uses the pen except for the most formal social notes with Its characteristic erasures and interlinea tions, how- much I had missed her For weeks she had been away upon one of her assignments from the gov ernment, usually given her only in grave emergency now at her own re quest. This time, however, Lillian had been summoned by my father who. *w!th surprisingly atrength of mind and body, is engaged now more A WiP Confession^ Glclele ^arrlsoM ' The Housewife's Idea Box | ! in Marmalade. a, If oranges are expensive substitute carrots tor part of the fruit In the making of your marmalade.

It spoke of how Listerine removes onion odor and it challenged the reader to make this test: '* Rub a bit of fresh onion on your hand. Douse on a little Listerine. The onion odor immediately disappears.” She was skeptical and bet that it couldn’t be done. He had seen it demonstrated before and set out to prove it to her. The girl lost her bet. But she gained a valuable bit of information. Listerine is a really remarkable deodorant. And Lisrerine advertising does not over-state the case. That is why so many thousands use it daily to combat halitosis (the medical term for unpleasant breath). And that is why so many thousands of women are coming to use it as a perspiration deodorant. They just apply it clear. It is non irritating, refreshing, docs not stain garments and it does the work. Try it this way some day when you don’t have time for a tub or shower. It requires only a moment. You’ll be delighted.—Lambert Pharmacol Company, Saint Louis, V. S. A, LISTERINE Ip -<?fo safe anlistptu | Open Eveningt Till I P.
