[ Omaha Girls, Smith College Students, Recall Calvin ii Coolidge, Jr. The nation’s distress at the great loss Buffered by President and Mrs. Coolidge, In their eon, Calvin, Jr., has a particular poignancy for the group of Smith college girls here who so often saw young Coolidge, while he was a student In Northampton High school, which Is Just across from the Smith campus. "He used to pass my house every morning on his way to his classes,” said Miss Josephine Schurman, who was in Smith a year ago. "He was so upright, carried himself so well and had such an unusual amount of dignity for one so young. We thought It very fitting he should have been a presi dent's son.” Miss Dorothy Dahlman and Miss Marlon Booth remember him on the night he end his father came to Northampton from Boston after his fath er's election to the vice presidency. It was a “town and gown” night, with both the Smith girls and the Northampton citizenry assembled with flaring red torches at the Hotel Draper to watch the Coolidge faml'y arrive, which they did after a considerable Interval, In the George MeCallum limousine. Doth the boys, all thought, shpwed the poise and composure which charac ters d their father's action. Miss Dorothy Sherman tells that Calvin, Jr., was working In the tobacco fields east of Northampton when the news came that hla father had been made president. "We used to bicycle past the Coolidge home all the fall and spring,” said Miss Sherman. Miss Onalee Mann and Miss Marian Howe are others who have seen Calvin, Jr., many times.

(Copyriy-li', ISC!.) • Your Problems i __ _ \ r a girl takes too much upon herself to help the man she loves In every way possible? I nft"n wonder if that is one way of gaining happiness. Home cases seem to prove this and others discourage 'me, for the man in ques tion tires of too much attention and runs away. Please tell me what you think. BARBARA. Happiness la seldom real unless It 1» shared by two persons or more. But if the man doesn't reciprocate the love you have to shower upon him. Why should you he so eager? If you begin hy being grateful for a man's love, then you save a safe found, lion fc>r love and marriage. It must he sh'are and share alike basis to Insure real Joy. The best way to help a man you love Is to be yourself In the finest manner possible and to expect nothing but the best from him. Your faith In him will do more to help him than will any criticism or Interfer ence. To believe In him is to work tor him. C. S.i There are no certain rules for double weddings. The clergy man decides upon the procedure of the Service. If two sisters ere to be mar ried, the father usually gives them both av/ay. but In going up the aisle he would have the elder on his arm, while uncle or brother would lie with the younger.

Adele Garrison “My Husband’s I.ove” v_/ Why Lillian Explained Her Request to Madge. With Lillian and me, because of our long intimacy, It Is generally "masks down.” We never control our surprise or other feelings as rigid ly as we do before other people. Therefore, I did not attempt to sup press the astonished stare I gave Lil lian at her amazing announcement that her reason for wishing me to go to dinner with the man who had been her husband for so many years was—in her own words—"to find out what Harry is up to." She returned my gaze steadily. "I know'," she said, with a note of apology, rare to her. •‘This is some thing I have no right to ask you, a job I ‘ought to do myself If it is to be done, but—frankly—I do not think Harry would tell me. In fact, I know him well enough to know that you are the only person on earth who can get his confidence.” Her eyes confirmed what her lips had told me long ago that she be lieved the feeellng Harry Underwood so often and so theatrically had pro claimed for me was a genuine emo tion. Surely, however, she did not ex pect me to gain his confidence be cause of that advantage and then be tray it to her! “No, indeed,” she said, as if I had spoken my thought aloud, and I mentally saluted her psychic powers as I often had done before. "If you can get him started talking, you can persuade him that it won t do any harm for me to know about It. Oth erwise, of course, you could never tell me. But I have great faith in your powers of persuasion, where Harry is concerned." \----_ --- ■ - order with your* baker or grocer j Raisin Bread on Wednesdays He will then deliver it or reserve it for you every week fresh from the ovens, fragrant with the rare, rich goodness of Sun-Maid Raisins.

She smiled wearily, and I thought I detected a suspicion of bitterneps In the smile. Even though she did not cars for the husband who had treated her so cavalierly, even though all the affection she had to give was In the possession of Robert Savarin, she was feminine enough to feel chagrin that she must depend upon someone else to get the Information she needed. Suddenly she came up to me and put both her hands on my shoulders. "Dear girl,” she said tenderly. "I know I am asking a very difficult and delicate thing of you. Yet It isn't as bizarre as It appears. Harry will be sentimentally flamboyant and theatrical, no doubt, but you know as well as I that he will never be un manageable. You will have his con duct entirely In your own hands, and I have no fear of your ability to handle any situation. “As for the Dicky-bird's reaction at the outing when he hears of it— well—I think he has nothing what ever to say. If he shows symptoms of emitting any yelps, just send him to me. So give that Puritan con science a dose of paregoric, my dear, and enjoy the dinner as much as you can. There's no one can order a din ner, you know, better than Harry.” Was there an unconscious note of regret, of wistfulness In her voice? Hastily and Injudiciously I Inter preted It. "I wish you were coming with us," I said. She shrugged her shoulders as If she were shunting some troublesome memory. "Well, I don’t,” she retorted brusquely, end then with a glance at her wrist watch, eho added con cernedly: "I wonder why Harry Isn't back. He snld fifteen minutes, and he al ways Is the last word In punctuality, especially when there are a pretty woman and a dinner engagement In the offlng." “Are £ou sure we didn't misunder stand the time?” I queried. "He said he was going to change to evening clothes, and the time he named seems so absurdly short. Besides, where do you suppose he has evening clothes or a place to ehang?e" "So Doubt He Has.” "He'd carry moonlights on the running hoard, and dress behind the closed curtains of the car, if he couldn't find anything more conven lent,” Lillian answered laughing. "You forget that he Is an old trouper. But I'll wager he has a room In a hotel or apartment somewhere sround here, or he wouldn’t have made so decisive a promise." “He has!” I wondered If I had ut tered the words aloud. Then be cause of the unchanged expression S-t-o-r-e W-i-d-e Clearance Suits, Coats, Dresses H-a-l-f P-r-i-c-e F. W. Thorne Co. 1812 Farnam St. V J _ _ of Lillian's fare, I decided that I had made the exclamation mentally. Suddenly there had flashed Into my memory the description Harry I’nderwond once had given me of the pawnshop around the corner from the apartment, to the proprie tors of which he had directed me to go with the scarab he had given me If ever I should have need of him. The place evidently was a headquarters for him, and what more natural than that he should keep a room and a change of cloth ing there? I felt that I had the answer to Lillian's questolon. but without Harry Underwood's permission, I could not tell even her of either the scarab or the person* to whom he hart told me to show It In any emergency In which he could aid me. So for the derided assent I substituted the In nocuous: "No doubt he has, and you know there might be a dozen reasons for his delay.” Little Theater.
