Nebraska Clubs Are Urged to Plant Trees Women’s clubs of Nebraska are urged to put that state in the front rank in the tree-planting army by Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree association. He has written Mrs. Alvin Spelts of Burwell, Neb., the state chairman of conservation, that the association will be glad to see Nebraska step to the front, inasmuch as it was the home of J. Sterling Morton, father of Arbor day. Mrs. Spelts is planning a conserva tion and tree-planting program for October. The Nebraska society of Washington, D. C.. has planted a tree in memory of Morton In front of the tree association’s heaquarters on Six teenth street. The letter to Mrs. Spelts says: **W« want to wslcoma all the tree planter* to membership in the tree-plant ing army. We are particularly anxious for a big showing of Nebraska, since it was the home for so many years of J. Sterling Morton, the father of Arbor day. “Our slogan is 'Celebrate the centennial of Arbor day in 1972 by planting the trees now.' and this it seema to mo every town in Nebraska should do. “I km quite sure that the new presi dent of the general federation. Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman, who has been identi fied with conservation work for so long, will loin with us in hoping that Nebraska will have set a record in this regard. “The importance of bringing to the at tention of the people of this country the need of reforestation cannot be over estimated. We have 81,000.000 acres of idle land In this country that is fit for nothing but growing trees, and it must be put to work. “Every time w# find a tree planter we feel that we have a convert to the re forestation program which Is now going forward since the passage of the McNary Clarke forestry bill by the last congress. “Our plan is to first interest people In trees: then to interest them in the larger phases of the subject, and, as you doubt less know, we have the finest co-operntion on the part of hundreds of womens clubs throughout the country. “CHARLES LATHROP PACK. President. The tree association Is sending tree planting suggestions and a tree day program to any one who will send a | 2-cent stamp for it. To the American j Tree association there are no dues, [ and the only way to join is to plant a tree aid register it with the asso ciation. This nearly 100,000 have done in tw'o years. Trousseau Tea.

Dear Miss Allen: Having written to you before and getting such good advice, I’m writing again to see If you can help me out. I am going with a young man eight years older than myself. I’m 24. We have been going together for over four years and I think a lot of him, and I know he loves me, but I don’t think he loves me enough. He comes up once a week and I’m al ways glad to have him come. We never go to shows, but he takes me to dances once in a while and some times I go with my brother to dances. Now, this young man wants me to quit dancing. Do you think I ought to give up my good times on account of him? He never dances, so, of course, It is tiresome for him. * He is of a very jealous disposition and gets very peeved If I even speak to other boys. I have plenty of friends, both girls and boys, and always have a good time whenever I am any place. He seems to be more for his folks. He always minds them and does all lie can to help them out. Of course ills folks don't love me by any means, but we are on speaking terms. They consider their son too good a boy for me. So what shall I do? I love him and can hardly go away and leave him. He seems ail the world to me. but, if he loves me, why does he go with other girls, just because I’m away visiting a couple days? Does he really love me? I’ve thought of this question so often? Now, I could go away and work and leave him, but do you think It would do any good? I have a boy friend In a town about 500 miles from here, who is going to school and making it real good. He is a year older than myself, and he writes to me every week. Real nice, respectable letters, which I'm proud of. He has written and told m% he loved me and asked me If I would marry him as soon as he has fin ished school. Now, I haven't taken him seriously, as I don't know wheth er to stick by the first one or to leave here and go find a place to work so I can be close to the second one. I’m sure I'll never find a man 1 love more than I do the first one. but I am beginning to believe he isn't a marrying man. He always says I wish we were married, but, as it Is, I haven't anything to start out with. Now, 1 know he has, as they are ail well off. So, what shall I do? Try to stick it out four more years or let him go? We are not engaged. Thanking you for your kind advice, DORTHEA. You seem to be a provident soul, not wishing to let go of one man until sure you have another within your grasp! But that isn’t the way to measure things. Do you really care for your eight-year older beau well enough to give up something he doesn’t like? He doesn’t sound .very reasonable to me A man of 32 ought to know his own mind well enough to make himself understood. If he wants to marry you he has had time enough in four years to ask you. And If lie isn't going to marry you, he has no right to demand that you give up a harm less recreation for his sake, (t as aume you do not make a harmful recreation out of dancing.) "Whatever else you do, don't get a Job so you can "he close to the sec one one." No man likes to he sought that vigorously. It Is only fair to you that you have an understanding with Hie Aral man. You might tell him you would be willing lo give up dancing for him If you expected to marry him and spend the rest of your life with him But he ought to be made to under stand that It would he unfair to you to give up all your other friends Dnd ell prospect of marriage and a home Of your own to saatlsfy the wishes of a man w'ho doesn't care enough about you to aak you to marry him after you have been going together for four years. Tills may waks him tip. If It does not, It will not he too soon for you to find out Just where you stand with him. I m rather hurt for you that his I eopla think Iheir son Is loo good for V"U Why do they feel so’ Don't Mm always conduct yourself proper *J ' °'* are ihey Just the old fssh lone,) kind who see evil In all forms of pleasure, especially dancing1 Adele Garrison “Mv Husband's Love” ------' How Madge Helped Leila with Bees Dean. Katherine and I did not have as long a vigil over Mollie Fawcett as I expected. Lillian appeared at the farmhouuse in less lhan 24 hour* after the girl had fled back to the farmhause chok ing with terrified sobs over the ulti matum the mysterious man had given her, and announced her inten tion of taking Siollie to New York with her. “It's too late for a train tonight," she said, “and I want to be in New York long before that first train out of here In the morning arrives there. I know you can't drive in the city, Madge, but couldn't you take us as far as Babylon or thereabouts? Then we could get an early train into the city. If we start at daylight—” —“We can, start before.” I inter rupted her, “and I have a better plan than Babylon. I'll drive you as far as Marvin—I ought to see Mrs. Durkee. anyway. Y’ou and Miss Faw cett can go on to the city and I’ll leave the car at the Durkees and follow you later. You don’t need me for anything, do you?" “Not before 3 o'clock this after noon,” she answered. “You must be at your apartment by then. But your before-daylight stunt is all to the mustard. Where do I sleep?" Characteristically she said nothing more of her plans, but I noticed an odd restralnst in the attitude of Mol lie Fawcett toward the older woman. It was as if the girl actually feared Lillian, and this attitude persisted all through the journey, one of the swiftest I ever had made in my car. "Remember, no later than 3," Lil lian said as I left her and Mollie at the Mgrvln station and turned my car toward the Durkee home. We had started so early that there , was no one tip at the Durkee house hold save Edith Fairfax. She greeted . me warmly—the compact I made] with her to .guard Leila from Hess Dean's malicious maneuvering has ! materially lessened the restraint which the knowledge of her feeling for Dicky always has put between us—and Edith delightfully exclaimed over the earliness of my call. "You don't mean you’ve driven In front the farm at this hour?” she said and at my affirmative, caught my hand with the exuberant concerned hospitality of the southern bred worn an, drew me swiftly into the kitchen and poured me a cup of coffee. "I shouldn't have touched a. mor sel if you had led me out of the kitchen," I said, taking the cup of steaming coffee from her hand. "How are they?" "Mrs. Durkee is getting along beau tifully." she answered. "Her visit to Aunt Dora helped her convalescent" wonderfully. And Leila Is all right physically, but I was just about to write and ask you to run over." An Unexpected Ring. I set down my cup of coffee abrupt ly. "Tou mean Bess Dean," I Interro gated sharply. She nodded soberly. "I thought I would be able to handle her, but she seems possessed, and rebuffs that would sorely humlll ate an ordinary girl appear to roll right off her,” Edith sighed. "I’m at my wits’ end! "Bess Dean has a little car now," Leila hurried on, "and every Satur day morning she appears with some present for Mrs. Durkee; fruit cr flowers or something—Insists upon executing some shopping commission for us in the city, parks the car here for the day, takes the train with Alfred, and although I believe the I oor boy really does try to dodge her, half the time succeeds In getting the same train back.

But I don't know how long Leila is going to keep on be lieving it, snd in her rondition the performance is impossible, anyway." "It's worse than that," I said, my voice trembling with anger, and then there was no chance to say any thing more, for Mrs. Durkee, a charming convalescent, rushed Into the kitchen, and put her arms around me. chattering volubly, and a few minutes later I>eila, lovely but pale, and Alfred, royally friendly, followed her. We were almost through breakfast when the doorbell rang, and I saw an odd little look travel around the table. “Is that Bess Dean?" I asked thing determinedly. "Yes.” Leila whispered, looking a*, me. "Out of My Way!” "I am going to let her in," I said, "and I am going to ask every one of you- to keep silent, no matter what you hear me say.” I looked steadily at Alfred as I spoke, and any doubt^ of him I may have had were relieved by his hearty: * 'Go as far as you like, old dear." Waiting for no further permis sion, I walked to the front door, opened it and confronted Bess Dean. "Well! Look who's here!" she ex claimed Jauntily then her eye* ,nar rowed as she saw my set face. "Come In—this far," I saltf re treating before her, until I barred ber passage to the dining room. ‘.‘Now I am going to give you an Inc portant bit of Information Tou have made your last visit to this house.

Her merry nonchalance slipped from her a* if It were a cloak, and It was suddenly a wild cregture that face me. “Get out of my way before I scratch your eyes out!" she said, and meant it. "Very well, if you must have it," I said slowly, stepping aside from the door. "But If you pass this door I shall, go In and tell them why you were discharged from the faculty of that girls school concern ing which you have spun so many pleasant yarns for our edification.' "The Old Hag!” She stopped as if my words had been so many bullets, and I paid a menial tribute to the will-power that enabled her to conquer her palpable desire to spring .upon me. and to mask her baffled anger with a non chalant smile. “You seem to hold trumps In this particular game," she said. “But re member that there are other games, you—you sneaking spy" Her self-control failed her before she finished, and she hurled the last words at me. Then she turned, and slamming the door after her, ran down the steps. I felt a sudden reluctance to face Alfred, wondering how he would re act to the thing I had done. But, even as we heard the vicious starting of Bess Dean’s motor, Alfred ap peared in the doorway, with his arm arouitd Leila, while his mother and Edith crowded close to his shoulder. "You certainly have don# ua a great aervlce, Mr*. Madge," he said gravely, "but-" Dlttl# Mr*. Durke# Interrupted him ruthlessly, "Madge' However, did you know that about her?" "I didn't," I answered quietly. They all stared, and then Alfred •burst Into a great laugh with so relieved a note In It that I realized he had wondered for an instant If 1 had played the role which Bess Dean had thrust upon me at parting.
