.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

'OvrrF*- . A STORY OF A GIRL of TODAY THE SHOWDOWN I came out of my thoughts, as I heard Mr. Elkins. Jr., say that he had loaned to Mr. Robinson $300,000, taking as security his share of the department store. "This part of the estate, you know, was left to Mr. Robinson and Mr. and Miss Meredith here, jointly, with the stipulation that Mr. Robinson should act as manager of the store.” ”1 haven’t any concrete idea what the property would bring today, but I know when I had Mr. • Robinson's books audited before I made him the loan, that they showed a gross profit of over $500,000 last year. According to the terms of the will, both Mr. and Miss Meredith have the chance to buy oiit Mr. Robinson, or they can sell this loan and make some arrangements whereby Mr. Robinson may pay off his lndebtednes in a short or long time as they desire. "Personally I would advise you that this should be done, as you understand that your other property from which you derive a good income, is free and clear of all debt." “How much money can I realize at once?” inquired John, quickly. “Have I enough liquid assets to finance a three year’s trip to South Africa?” "I think so, Meredith,” answered the elder Elkins, “but I would advise caution. How much do yuo want?” “I want at least $250,000 to begin with.” “That will not be hard to get,” answered Mr. Robinson. “I think I can raise half the face value of my note, which with Joan's consent I will pay to John. I am sure that he will be able to make up the rest.” “Thank you, dad,” said John. “Oh, that’s all right. When are you leaving.” "As soon as I can get away. Withit' the month at the very latest. Symington tells me that we can get ready within that time, and you know how I hate civilization.” . Joan was told that she had plenty of money at her disposal to make her trip abroad, hut she seemed to .have changed her mind. “I do not think I shall go for a month or two now. I want to stay here until Bud goes away. You’ll come out here, John, and stay at the house until you are ready to go.” Her brother hesitated. He knew that the house and everything It contained had been left to Joan according to the will, but he also knew that he would be less conspicuous there than at an hotel, even though he was sure I was going to live with his sister. I caught him looking at me rather dubiously. I smiled at him openly and said: “Do come and stay with Joan. Mr. Meredith, for I am going to be there and I want to hear all about your trip. It looks to me as though it were going to be very interesting.” The color came into his cheeks. "If you can find a place for Symington, Sis. I think I’ll come over and sleep, but I’m afraid you won’t see very much of me.” X’cxt—A Bombshell.

■ ■ Martha Lre Says ‘FORGET AND FORGIVE’ OLD BUT GOOD ADVICE

if you hold an object close to your eye it looks larger than the ten-story building a block away. So, a grievance held constantly before the minds eye will shut out much good right at hand. We rob ourselves by so doing.

A wrong done us, can either harm,j or help us. If we yield to the temptation to dwell upon it, nurse it and pity ourselves, we're going to harm ourselves more than the original act did. Throwing off resentment, refusing to let the wrong act drag us down, will make us grow in character. Cannot Forgive Dear Martha Loo: Several yearn ago, my husband became entangled In an affair with a youmr girl. Circumstance which followed awoke him to the fact that he had hurt m.v heart possibly beyond repair. I have 1 seen him on his kneea asking: God to ! make the hurt that he had put into my i heart, easier for me to bear, and ho has taken me in his arms many times and told me the pure love of his heart had always been mine. But I cannot forget —the long lonesome nights I sat alone while ‘‘fishing trips." "working overtime," “lodge nights." etc. I cannot forgive. He says he has learned his lesson and it has cost him dearly. X have changed from a happy laughing woman to one whose smile often hidees a tear—God alone knows how I am hurt. „ MRS. W. lou are morbid, Mrs. A. All I wonder at Is that your husband is still around to take you In his -arms and tell you he is sorry. Your uncompromising attitude all this time (you say this occurred several years ago) is an expression of such deep resentment,’l wonder your health Is not seriously impaired. His unfaithfulness was a terrible blow of conrse, but is there nothing In your religion that would suggest your forgiving one who is as seriously repentant as you indicate your husband is? Resolutely put the unhappy memory out of your life—that is, unless you want to spend your life letting a “tear hide your smile.’’ Bea good, cheerful little pal to that husband of yobrs and he'll probably never dream of repeating his offense. An 'Old-Fashioned' Girl Dear Martha I w. I have just read the letter that the man wrote you who objected to the ultra modern girl. I don’t think he could have looked very far for "nice" girls, for there are plenty of them. The trouble is, if we don’t act the way he objects to, we don’t get any dates. Now. I am an “ola fashioned" girl, although I dress well, but boys don’t seem to get interested in me. There is a fellow at Sunday School, who seems so nice. I am awfully shy and he seems to be also. How could I "break the ice?" . EILEEN G. By forgetting yourself. Timidity is a form of egotism. You’re thinking about yourself when you cannot converse naturally. Ever read that little book of Clara Laughlin’s, "Everybody’s Lonesome.”? It would help you. Site makes the point, that everybody, be he,king or peasant is

She seems to think no one is good enough for me and finds fault with all of them. #i ne wi i h< * a brother has gotten into I trouble because hi& pal was driving a ma ehme while under the influence of liquor.

Do you think I should:- Should I quit gomg with all the girls? Only tonight, mother said ahe didn't trust me—didn’t know where Igo half thq time. This hurt® and I would rather b 6 dead than have her think this of me. If I’m not in by ten she worries and sometimes starts out to look for me. I know how to take care of myself and I’ve never done anything to be ashamed of. What shall Ido to prove to mother I am straight? GOLDEN LOCKS. Well, you can’t blame mother, dear. Sho has a pretty daughter, whom she intends to protect at any cost, and to hoar you try to explain that the boys were trying to straighten up while under the influence of liquor—well, I’d be from Missouri, too! People are judged by the company they keep, and, let me tell yoo, you have a rare mother in these day* She s trying to keep your ideals and your associations of the highest. But you can win mother's confidence by letting her be a big sister to you. Take her advice in earnest and seek out her company more. Take her to the movies as you would a girl friend. She’s probably just yearning for this contact with your youth. Make a pal out of her and you'll convince her that you are nobody's fool and able to look out for yourself. Mother's simply In the dark about you, and she’s taking po chances. CLOSED JARS Glass or pottery jars with covers are absolutely necessary to ictebcx sanitation during warm weather.

i Breakfast —Baked apples, cereal, thin cream, crisp broiled bacon, rye muffins, milk, coffee. Luncheon —Salmon chowder, toasted crackers, cucumber fingers, drop ginger cookies, lemonade. Dinner —Smothered veal, baked new potatoes, creamed carrots, pear and cream cheese salad, whole wheat rolls, currant snow, milk, coffee. If you live Inland and must rely on the canned variety of salmon , for your chowder you may be interested in the following information taken from a bulletin issued by the United States Department of Fisheries: “The choicest grades of canned salmon are richer than meats in body-building material and contain the same amount of fats. Pink salmon, which is a cheaper grade, 'is better than meats for making flesh and bones. There is no waste and nothing Is to be thrown away except the can.” Salmon Chowder Three cups milk, *4 cup canned salmon freed from skin and bones, 1 slice onion, 4 tablespoons minced celery, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, (4 teaspoon pepper, V 2 teaspoon paprika, IV2 cups diced boiled potatoes, 1 tablespoon minced parsley. Scald milk in double boiler with salmon, onion slice and celery. Melt butter, stir in flour and when perfectly blended slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Add the salmon, celery and onion with the milk and bring to the boiling point. Boil 5 minutes and add potatoes. The salt, pepper and parprika are added with the flour to the melted butter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)

'A WOMAN'S 'SPBROAD By Allene Summer PARIS.—I have just returned from the races —the most famous races In the world. But I did not see a horse —not a single hors#. It was the world-famous Grand Prix classic at Longchamps, the yearly race which attracts horse lovers the world over. I repeat, I did not see a single horse. But oh babee—as we French say, what clothes I did see! Most people, anyway, go to the races to see clothes , and not horses. It seems that here In Paris the race trac’4 at Longchamps is only an excuse for wearing all the clothes and diamonds and aigrettes that they wear when presented at court in England or at a White House reception at home. It seems strangely like the French who refuse butter with bread, but serve it as an appetizer with pickled snails and crawfish, to choose a dusty race track whither to wear costumes which would grace a ballroom. • * * My gentle readers may he interested in my own costume for Longchamps before I launch into a description of that which draped H Queen of Spain. I wore some brown oxfords with a rich layer of bois de rose mud and beige dust. My tweed coat had a plaque of green grass spots and my hat had a coy dip where Pansy Herring had accidentally sat on it at lunch. Td be really truthful, T did not assemble this chic costume for the races, but for a picnic In the Bois de Boulogne. We had just eaten the last sardine when the people began to go by. We thought it was a fire and started following—by taxi. As I have said, one can ride forty-three miles for a nickel, so we made no inquiries about cost, but merely indicated that we voulez-voused to follow the people. And so we came to Longchamps. The reason we knew we were at Longchamps was because the taxi man held up his hands ten times and looked fierce, which meant that we had to pay 100 francs or he would call the gendarme.
