Daily Tribune, Terre Haute, Vigo County, 9 September 1916 — Page 3
I MEET WILLIAM BENT AND HE CARRIES ME HOME Mother's prediction came true sooner than either she or I had expected. The very next day after our conversation I was returning from a long walk through the wood when I ^tepped on a half concealed root and sank to the ground with a cry of pain. My ankle had turned and it seemed to me that one of the small bones of my foot had snapped.
The agony was so acute that I lay for a few moments moaning. When I endeavored to rise I found that I could not put the injured foot to the ground and sank back to a seat on the soft earth. After much effort, during which I suffered keenly, I managed to take the shoe from my foot and pulling, off my stocking, I rubbed the wounded member in the hope that I could prevent it swelling and that the muscles might be kept in such a condition that I could walk later. But my hope was vain, for when I replaced my stocking and tried to put on my shoe I found that not only my ankle but my entire foot had swollen so much that the shoe would not go on. In the meantime the pain had increased to such an extent that' I was almost frantic. To make my situation worse, night was coming "on and the shadows already, were falling upon the wood.
Realizing that I must do something quickly I managed to crawl to a limb, which had fallen from a nearby tree, and using this as a crutch I began to painfully make my- way toward home.
But my progress was slow. Every few moments I was compelled to stop. Each movement of my body caused the pains to shoot through my foot and ankle until it became a frightful agony for me to stand. So far as my injured foot was concerned, I could not put it to the ground, and with only the limb to aid me it soon seemed to me that I would never be able to reach my home. Finally, the pain became so intense that I feared that I would become unconscious, and hobbling to a fallen tree I saitk to the ground beside it and lay my &ead against the trunk.
How long I sat there I do not know I remember thinking vaguely that my mother would soon begin to worry be cause of my absence and that it might not be long before she would become so anxious that she would alarm the entire town and start on a search for roe.
After that my mind became confused and I believe that I went, partly out of my senses. When my consciousness returned I became aware of hand touching my shoulder and a deep voice asking me what was the matter. By that time the wood had become almost dark and this, together with my own confusion, added to my alarm when I gazed up into the face of the object beside me and saw a man.
He must have known intuitively of my fear, for he immediately spoke reassuringly, asking me in deep, tender tones if I was hurt and if he could do anything to relieve me. "I—I believe. I have broken my ankle," I told him. "How you must suffer!" he exclaimed. "I almost stepped on you as I came along. Let me see wnat I can do."
He stooped and gently touched my injured foot, moving his fingers here and there until he found what was wrong. "It is here," he said. "I am not surgeon enough to know for sure, but I believe you have fractured one of the s mall bones of the arch.*' "It qiust indeed be broken." I agreed,
FAIL GLOVE STYLES Of fMY NOVELTIES
The Newport, The Van Dyke and The West Point and Other Chic Designs.
By Nora Ragsdale.
While the glove situation is acute— so much so that the purchasers are going to feel it when they go glove shopping this autumn—there are shipments coming in regularly though slowly. Some handsome things in the glove line are being shown and it is very likely that these will be taken advantage of immediately.
One store is showing a Newport ,. style—as its name implies, quite ultra j*
whatevfer-word-you-want -to supply. The Newport glove comes in black and white and is quit€ high reaching almost to the elbow. In addition to the clasps, these gloves are laced from the wrist upward, by a tiny black and white silk tassehed cord. The backs are prettily embroidered in black and white.
Then there is the Van Iyke style, also shown in black and white. On the white ones, there is a finish of several points of black, downward, at the top of the glove. These are two clasps.
From Newport and Van Dyke we jump to West Point where we find black and white still quite the thing. These gloves are above the average in length and instead of the clasps, there

with what must have been a pathetic attempt at bravery. "I tried to walk with this stick, but I could not go very far." "Little woman," he said, in obvious distress, "you have more courage than most women."
He picked up my shoe and after looking at it quizzically for a moment put it in his pocket. "There's nothing to do but carry you home," he said. "Where do you live?" "It's on the edge of the wood," I told him. "Unless you are a stranger here you must know my mother. I am Roxane Lockwood." ... "What?" he* cried. "Roxane? Roxane Lockwood? Little Roxane, whom I used to know and with whom I used to play in this very wood?" "Oh, you are Billy Bent?" "Of course I am," he exclaimed. "How strange that I should meet! you after all these years unW such, circumstances—alone here in this darkened place, with you lying there injured and helpless." "Yes,' I replied faintly, "it is certainly strange, and I am certainly helpless."
Is a strap effect across the wrist for fastening. On the outside of the glove along the wrist, there are imitation strapjs finished at the ends with muttons.
Perhaps the most beautiful gloves of the season are those that have come in the pastel shades. These have a finish of four or five rows stitching or embroider^ on the back, the embroidery being of black and the self rame shade of the glove.
Washable gloves will continue to enjoy the popularity which they established last year. There are many beautiful washable kids in white, pearl and various colors now on display. Some of these have the pointed top finish while others have a cuff effect.

"Come," he said, "we must go." "I think I can walk if you will help me to my feet, or rather to my foot," I told him with a wan attempt at humor. "Are you sure?" he inquired. "Would I not better carry you on my shoulder?" "It would never do," I replied, "I am too heavy to be handled in any such fashion." "Very well then, we will do as you suggest."
He assisted me to rise, and leaning heavily on his arm we started toward home.
Our progress was slow and painful We were compelled to stop every few moments, and toward the end of the journey I became so f^int that he had to put his arm around me to keep me from falling. When we came in sight of my home I was so exhausted that could go no farther and without so much as a by your leave, William Bent picked me up bodily and carried me in his arms to the house.

The boys scampered off in iyjj different directions to find the missing overshoe. "What is lost, Morris?" asked Marian, coming to the door. "My overshoe! That nuisance of a dog has carried it off, I suppose." Morris was looking over the edge of the railing, his face black with a frown.
Just then the innocent cause of this disturbance came trotting around the house, and squatting on the walk looked up into the irate face with his head on one side. Marian started to chase the dog away, thinking it better that he be not in evidence just at that time, but it was too late. Morris had been him. He bounded down me steps and picking the little fellow up by the nape of the neck began to shake him vigorously. "Where is my dvershoe, you little pest?" he yelled, as if he expected the pup to reply. "Oh, Rags! My little dog!" chorused the children,' running and screaming with terror. "Morris, for heaven's sake be a little more reasonable," expostulated Marian, rescuing the frightened little animal. "Yes, you insist on having the little torment here and ask me to be reasoiiable when it carries off my overshoes. I am late as it is. I must go in the mud without them, I suppose." He stalked off in high dungeon.

about the morning work with a heavy heart. Were such scenes to be a part cf their children's education? How could it be possible for a man of Morris' intelligence to set such an example to his boys, she wondered. "Morris, may I have a few minutes of your time?" asked Marian after she had tucked the last child in bed. Morris was sitting in his study in the half light smoking a cigar. "You seem to be taking it," he answered not unkindly. "I want to talk to you about your influence on our boys," began Marian. "My influence on the boys?" he echoed. "Yes. Surely if you take time to think about it you will see that it is a very bad thing for them to see you so impatient, so fretful "Look here, Marian, 1 am thirty-five years old. It is too late for you to make me over," interrupted Morris petulantly. "Thirty-five or sixty-five is not too .late for a man to say to himself that he will stop a course that he knows to be wrong and be a man. No one is worthy of the name who caiinot control himself." Morris gasped at this indictment. "I am not willing to say to my children, 'Your father cannot control himself, but you must not be like him,' nor do you want me to have to say any such thing. I want to be able to say to my boys, 'Be a man like you father.'" Marian laid her hand on her husband's arm. "You know I am a very nervous man," began Morris. "I know. You must do everything to build up your nervous system. You are trying, but you must remember that it is what children see and hear that decides what they become. We cannot lecture them into good characters we must live such lives before them that they will want to be like us."

Questions Answered
by Mrs. Ragsdale
Hns Proposal.
Dear Mrs. Ragsdale—I am about fifteen years old. While at the fair in company with another girl a few years older than myself a couple of young men came up and spoke to us and wanted us to ride on the merry-go-round and other placcs of amusement. We accepted and they acted as nice and polit.e and gentlemanly as anyone could.
The one I was with wanted to correspond With me and to come and see me I told him he might, so he came, and he wants me to marry him and I promised him I would.
My mother is dead ,and my stepmother thinks it is all right and so does my older sister, but my brother, who works in the city, does not .like him and wants me to give him up, as he says he means me no good. But I love him, so I can't give him up unless I know something bad about him.vAn old family friend, who is a good judge of people, says it will only mean trouble for me. BLUE EYES.
Your brother is right. A girl of fifteen is much too young to be receiving attentions from young men. It is not proper to make a young man's acquaintance in any way except through the introduction of a friend on whom you can rely. I don't think you will be sorry if you take the advice of your brother and friend and give up this young man, and then devote your time to studies or to learning all the arts of housekeeping, so that you will be prepared to make a good wife to the right man when he appears.
Yoh have plenty of time in which to meet the right man. What you think is love, isn't love at all, but merely infatuation. Forget about this man entirely.
Cleaning Shoes.
Dear Mrs. Ragsdale—I have a pair of gray kid shoes which are soiled. Is there anything that will clean them? Have tried gasoline. What is the meaning of these names?
ANXIOUS.
Anv shoe store will sell you a patent preparation for cleaning shoes that will be much more effective and inexpensive than anything you could prepare vourself.
Frank means free William, prfotector Harriot, chief of a house Cora, maiden Lillian lily.
No Introduction.
Dear Mrs. Ragsdale—If a girl has a conversation with a young man at a dance hall, is it her place to ask the arentleman his name, if there isn't any way for introduction? A. C.
A young girl who obeys the rules of good form doesn't talk to any man who has not been properly introduced to her. Acquaintances made without a mutual friend to vouch for each, are likelv to bring regrets.
