NOW COMES THE WEDDING
By CYNTHIA GREY <4l TnOMBTHINO old, something new, > Something borrowed, and something blue!” u Sylvia repeats the ojd verse that tells what a bride must wear In order to be a happy wife. “Let’s Bee —I have everythin* but the ‘something borrowed,’ mother,” she goes no. “You’ll have to lend me something.” “I have It ready for you ... your grandmother’s prayerbook,” says Sylvia's mother. There is a quaver In her voice. She has been crying the whole day . . . Sylvia’s wedding day! Downstairs the wedding guests are all seated, waiting for the bride. And Syllvia’s Tom Is there, too . . . more frightened than ever before. He keeps his eyes fixed on the stairs, down which his bride-to-be will come on her father’s arm. . . . Then Sylvia’s cousin Mary begins the opening .bars of the Lohengrin Wedding March . . . that most stirring music in all the world. /
THE TANGLE
LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH GRAVES HAMILTON TO MRS. LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED. Dearest daughter, now that I am starting away from you I am wondering If I am doing right. Since I decided to go to Karl so hastily, I have been so busy with getting my clothes and other material things ready for the journey that I have not stopped to think of what it might mean to leave you. I am feeiing today that I ought to stay at home and help you with those blessed babies. Os course, deer Leslie, that is all nonsense. I had no one to help me when I was bringing you and your sister up. I made rny mistakes, and God knows I have had to pay for them in Alice’s case. Always the thought tortures me that I might have in some way averted that tragedy—yet even now I can’t put my finger on the place where I'made the grievous error. I am afraid that I will never target the last words of my girl over
“Now, mother, promise me you won’t cry!" says Sylvia, “just try to remember that this is the happiest moment of my whole life! . . . And think how sorry you’d feel If no one had asked me to marry him!” Sylvia’s mother touches her eyes with her best handkerchief. She knows perfectly well that she Is going to cry. All mothers do at their daughters' weddings. “dh, please do hurry!” Sylvia pleads with Miss Seam, the dressmaker, who is pulling basting threads from the white satin and lace that clofhe Sylvia like a cloud. She puts her white-gloved hand In dad’s arm, and they start down the stairs together. AJI the wedding guests turn their eyes to see The Bride. But Sylvia sees no one but Tom . . . who Is waiting for her, beside the minfster. And she knows that for Tom, a* for her, this Is the unforgettable Great Moment—the beginning of their life together.

the telephone. I wake up In the night with my heart beating fast as I hear them. When I am driving through the streets on the peculiarly peaceful errands of shopping or calling, I havaAhe gTeat desire to teil my chauffeur to hurry—hurry for I feel as though I must get to Alice immediately. I find myself in that same state of mind as I was that fateful morning when I drove hasily to Karl’s house to find her dead. I know I must not think of It, fbr I have to live with living people and not with the dead. It is veiy easy for those who have lost loved ones to remember that. I want to say a few words to you, my daughter, about your husband. I don’t think you understand him as you should. That sounds bromidic, does It not? Girls have such romantic ideals they never seem to realize that while romance is very beautiful in frequent interludes, one can not live It day by day for a

long while. Life Insists upon the practical. John has a great load on his shoulders. You must remember, Leslie, that in taking ‘over that vast steel mill that your father left he took over something that he knew nothing about. He has,had to learn this great business as he went along, and knowing that your -and m>* fortune was at stake, he has been nautralluy more afraid of doing the wrong thing than he would have been If h 4 were managing the finances of strangers. I don’t think your father, however, had the slightest doubt of John’s ability to go through with it, and neither have I, but, Leslie, you must do your share. , Remember this, dear, men jire complex animals. They work and worry and strain and stand stanch until all at once they drop everything for a moment and try to forget, and in this forgetting they want to Include everything and everybody. Theiy seem to want to run amuck among life’s foolishness for a little while. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT —This letter continued.

Martha Lee Says GIRLS BLAMED FOR LACK OF COURTESY IN YOUTHS
Not the low standards of the boys, but the low standards of the girls, are to blame for any lack of courtesy on the part of
youths of today. This Is the belief of a girl reader. In answer to the Shortridge High School girls who believe there are no gentlemen In the high schools today. This girl, while asserting that * of course there are gentlemen,” points out that "a girl must command the respect of young men by acting like a lady." Others evidently agree with her. As letter after letter comes in, blame is heaped higher and higher upon the heads of the girls, until it appears that the “attacking force” will have to take to defending itself. One boy, answering "Jeanne,” the French girt, now a Manual High School student, tells her that yes, most boys do want a girl to be a pal. He goes on to tell of the minority that wants to “pet.” Girls 1 Fault .iffitoJ!!? rs as ornoi there is such a thing as a gentlscourse there are gentlemen—plenty of them. One cannot judge the whole world by what a few people do. There are plenty of young men today who are courteous thoughtful, and striving to the higher things of life. Aud they can have a good tune without the so-called high life, too. Plenty of good can be found in people if one will but look for it. It is a gross injustice to youth to say

Our cleaning organization is the largest in the country doing this kind of work, and we art the PIONEERS IN THE SHADE CLEANING BUSINESS There is no one who can clean shades any better than ourselves. Our work, however, depends entirely on the quality and condition of the shades we have to work on: , Filled shades that are cracked and broken naturally do not clean as well as the unfilled cambric material However, this cleaning is well worth the money and is usually satisfactory.

that they can’t Nave a good time without petting parties, drinks, etc. I happen to know of a crowd of boys and girls who have a would of pleasure together, but whoae ideals are too fine and high for such petty things. And they don’t do things without first thinking whether they would he right or not. They can absolutely have 1 a good time without kissing; In fact, they wouldn't even think of It. T do-'( think it is the fault of the boys and young men that courtesy has become a lost art. It is rather the fault of we girls. Perhapls we don't command it. A girl must command the respect of young men by acting like a lady, and demanding that they live up to the right things at ail times. Some of the girls whom we meet are not worthy of courtesy. The worth-while girls, girls with ideals, who make the boys live up to the best that is In them, must suffer for what Is done by the silly, shallow sort, woo don't know the true values of life. A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL. Jeanne Is Answered Dear Miss Lee: I am replying to Jeanne's questions, although I am not a high school student. Yes. Jeanne, most boys want a girl to be a pal. But others look upon girls to be made love to. and called sweetheart. There Is a class, too. that permits petting parties and gets the girls under the influence of liquor. j A gentleman, as well as a lady, has his standards, and he should live up to them to the best of his power. EDDIE. Improvement Seen Dear Miss Lee: I am a sophomore at Manual. Each semester that I have been there both boys and girls have seemed to improve In their ways. Being a boy. of course I can see the faults of girls more readily than those of boys. But I believe the girls should overlook a matter of boys' not giving up their place to them on a street car. for ft may not be ungentlemanliness. but forgetfulness. B. T. T.
