They don't wear pink sweaters in the army. In the army the want gray or khaki colored sweaters. The navy's color is preferably gray, although blue will be accepted. The marines ask for khaki colored sweaters. So the rainbow-hued wool is outlawed. .

I'll never care for any other man. I don't see why I couldn't have had his love it's the one thing I've ever really wanted," sobbed Mabel. In the midst of trying to console her, a thought darted through my brain. At least ien times a day read the same complaint coming from other girls-and almost as many dis consolate men and boys pen the un happy refrain: "Life isn't worth living without her. Some people find a delicious sense of luxury in considering themselves the unhappiest beings Jn all the world. If any who read really en joy the "luxury" of being miserable and insist on cherishing a blighted affection, a tragically misplaced love, or a mournful memory, elt them stop readink now; for I am about to try to dispel the magnificent glory of all "blighted beings." First of all I will have to confess that there are individuals who pine away and die for lack of the love of a certain other individual. But those individuals will have to make a con fession in turn: They are weak, to say the leastspineless and anemic, to say the most. A healthy, sane, normal individual cannot and does not make the at- LINE upon line, precept upon precept, go the rows of black eros-grain and sur- tempt to put all of life on an emo-4 mounting the turban is a little tionak basis. Such a person knows that living takes in several departments. There is the need of food and shel ter, which you earn and deserve if you expect somebody else to earn them for you. Then there are necessary social relations .with family and friends. There is the natural craving to find some expression for your own personality; the human desire to do right; the wish to vaoid loneliness; the longing for pleasure and all the lesser social activities. In a world where you have to eat, sleep, earn jour living, select your clothes, get on with your neighbors and make some effort merely to gVt on, love cannot fill all of life. When love, comes the other things are crowded more or ess into a corner. If love goes the wise individual eers the other things out of the corner and encourages. them to expand. Recently a friend oLnine went to live ina family where there was' an only son. It seemed very natural to everybody concerned that Jack should be nice to Leonore. Their families had known each other in the dim days before Loenore's people moved out to Unio. When she came to New York, friendless and alone, she went to live with,' the Fletchers, and the Fletchers were delighted at Jack's brotherly interest Vin their ' young boarded. i n Leonore felt first aratitude. then devotion and then a great surge of very deep and very real love. Jack did nothing in particular, to commit himself, but all his kindness and friendliness and unwavering denend- ableness made Leonore come to care for him with a almost desperate in tensity. S , . When business took him down to Florida for two months, Leonore made a great struKule to hide from his people her longing for him. He wrote to her occasionally, even as to his sisters, and hev never forgot 'her in his letters home. There was al ways a message for Lenore, and she could not help building for herself a wonderful little romance of hope and happiness. And then ; came a telegram from Jack: "Home Wednesday. Bring ing Mrs. John Fletcher, with me. Letter follows." v And the letter told all about the most wonderful girl in the world, while Lenora supposing herself the most unhappy girl in the world, sat in tortured silence and listened. The weeks which followed were an agonizing struggle to hide her grief from the unconscious eyes about her, to have her own pride, and to endured her misery.

I I 1 4 vVV l! 0 1 t 4 MlNtMMT " rOJ9 : Mrs. J. M. Taliaferro was elected president of the Douglas county Women's Christian Temperance union at the annual convention, which was hcld here yesterday at the Young Men's Christian association. Mrs. Horace G. Claggett was chosen vice president. Mrs. L. C Banner of the South Side corresponding secretary, Mrs. Daisy Dunlop recording secre tary and Mrs. Anna Whitney of Val ley, Neb., treasurer. ; -" - . More than 100 delegates were pres ent, every chapter in the county being represented but Valley. for Sunday dinners and for two or three meals a week. ' Leonore grew, daily more miserable. She contemplated all sorts of des perate deeds, going to Jack and tell- mg mm oi ner love; disappearing ana never being found again; starting up an affair with the first man she met; and just pining away'ftnd dying were among them. When she could endure the situa tion no longer, Leonore honored me with her confidence. And together we, worked out a plan. This was it. environment. It is easy enough to remember your troubles without put ting yourself in a position where everything forces you to think of them and where nothing allows you to tortTet. So we looked up a pleasant board ing place for Leonore one nearer her work. In order to avoid any hurt feelings, we took Mother Fletcher into our confidence and she helped out the situation by deciding that Jack and Elsie ought to keep down expenses by living at home. So, of course, "with much regret, etc.," she had to tell Leonore that much as they all loved her, there really wasn't room for her in the' household. Then Leonora, who had been "studying art," went around to the various stores and kept merrily at her search till she found one or two that could use her little place cards and another which was willing to give her a chance to make some fashion sketches. By the time Leonore had taken on this definite work, she bad gotten rather interested in the fight to get employment. She tramped" around her four weeks before she go' a suitable commission, and the struggle itself interested her even while the disappointments she had to face were great enough to keep her from dwelling on one great and tragjc disappointment. For weeks she could hardly eat or sleep, but tired nature finally de manded slumber,, and exercise cre ated an appetite. Getting a bit of work was a tri umph. It afforded only a tiny glow of satisfaction, but still there was a glow. Then came the necessity of keeping the work, ofdoing better work, of' getting more to do. Six weeks after she left the Fletcher household Leonore was earning enough to pay for her drawing les sons. At the end ",of three months she had two or three dollars over every week and she found some thing that was almost satisfaction in sending gifts home. Of course she was still unhappy; she still loved Jack Fletcher and felt bitter, at the fate which had. de prived her of her desire. She could not bear to go to hi home and was actually ill when she was forced to meet him. ' As the days and. months passed, Leonore . grew more and more ab sorbed in her worlf. "I'm not happy but I'm too busy to"be( unhappy," she' told me plaintively. ' ' ; . Leonore"' lost thirty pounds in three rribnths after Jack Fletcher's marriage. I She looked as if she had acauired ten vears of aee. His mar riage was a real tragedy to her do not forget that.

Then one day she and 'I strolled into a charming little tea room on )he avenue. At the next table sat ack and Elsie Fletcher.
