MR. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am In love Vith a man and we are engaged, but he is In the draft and expects to leave any time. . As I have no relation in the army I want to know if it would be proper for me to hang a service flag in our window. I have been going with

this young man for quite a while. He Is eight years older than I am, but I am of age. I am sure I love him and he says if he doesn't get me for his wife he will never marry. Of course he knows that I love him " and I have always felt that he loved me until just a few days ago. . Me acts so different, fie used to ask me to come to town as often as three and four times a week.

Now he does not ask me to come very often and not at all this week. He does not come down to see me the way he did. He told me why and it was O. K. with me. I didn't think much about it. The other night he said he couldn't go home with me and did not tell me why. Since then I have been terribly worried. I can't think what

will make him treat me, in this way when he knows he will have to leave me soon. Do you think he is tired of me and wants to quit? Or worried. over leaving. He savs he can't bear to think of

parting with me and that he loves me

yet and wants to be with me, but ne won't say why he can't be. I only pray

to God to spare him and return him to

terest when he Is with you, I am afraid he is tiring of you. You can tell best yourself. Above all things don't worry. You need not lose him even if he Is getting tired now. If you give him a little of his own medicine and have a reason why he cannot come the next time he asks, he will be all the more eager to come after that. Do not ask questions when he seems to neglect you. He probably has a great deal to think of, since he expects to leave soon, and does not realize that he sees so little of you. Trust him and probably everything will come out all right after the war. About the service flag: It will be all right to hang one in your window since you are engaged. If the boy is indifferent at the time he leaves, do not hang one, because it will seem a little more indifferent on your part if you don't.

"LIFE IS JUST ONE LONG

COMPROMISE" "But you see, Mrs. Stewart," I explained painstakingly, the relationship between Jack and me is in reality very slight, and when I explained that to Dicky he couldn't seem to understand about our being brought up together." Mrs. Stewart Interrupted me with a snort. "When you explained that to Dicky, she repeated mockingly. "Wm you tell me what reason on earth there was for you to explain that to Dicky?" "Why, Mrs. Stewart, I couldn't deceive my husband!'" I protested. "Nobody is asking you to do that," she snapped. "But if you have any happiress In your married life you've got to remember that you can't go out

up to me-to straighten them out a bit, if I can. But I've got to know first exactly how matters stand. So just answer my questions.' my dear." Her tone held-a note of command that curiously enough, I felt like obeying.. I answered her as docilely as a

child. : ' "My husband Is the only man in the world for me, Mrs. Stewart." As my lips uttered the words my heart echoed them. Life might so

"You don't need to look so shocked." she went on dryly. "Of course this is not the proper thing to say. I ought to exclaim, 'Thank God!' I suppose, but I never was built to be a hypocrit."

She turned aside her head a moment j

and I saw her wipe her eyes. The action surprised me, for I had always

"And I'll bet a cooky when you found out that Jack loved you oh. yes, he told me that much. I wormed It out of him you went right home and told your husband all about It, now didn't you?" "Of course," I answered. Mrs. Stewart raised her hands in mock despair. "I wish I had the rewriting of the marriage service," she said. "I'd make it read, 'I promise to love, honor and keep my mouth shut.' I'll bet it would prevent lots of unhappiness." She got up from the arm of my chair and drew another chair facing me, and sat down.

"Now, I am going to talk to you like a Dutch uncle or aunt." she said. "Margaret, have you found out yet which man you really love, your husband or Jack Bickett?" Mrs. Stewart shot the question at me as if it were a bullet from a revolver. I could not have been more stunned if it had been a real missle. We were sitting facing each other in her little upstairs sitting room. She had shrewdly guessed my quarrel with Dicky, and she had announced her intention of talking to me like a Dutch uncle. But this question was too much even from my old landlady, who, since my mother's death, was my nearest woman friend. I raised my head resentfully. "Really, Mrs. Stewart," I began haughtily. ''Oh, cut that out," sh? returned

last word, and then brought it out as

if it were an exploding firecracker. "I !

could tear things to pieces," she finished fiercely. "You must not speak that way of my husband, Mrs. Stewart," I said, but my remonstrance was weak, for her reference to my little mother and her plans for me had nearly upset me. "Fiddlesticks!" she returned very brusquely. "This isn't a time for picking your words. I'm going to speak my mind once for all and then you'll never hear me say a word about your husband again.

Science Solves the Butter Problem with Butter Made from the White Meat of Cocoanuts

Just when the price of butter threatens to make it an unattainable luxury, science perfects TROCO, the new vegetable butter made from the white meat of the cocoanut. It tastes exactly like the finest creamery butter and is even more wholesome and pure. It is churned with fresh Pasteurized milk to give true butter flavor.

Because of old lnws, made before this discovery, we are compelled to label this nut-made butter as oleomargarine. But it contains no oleo oils no hog or beef fat, nor any preservatives. TROCO is simply vegetable fatachurned with milk for the butter taste. Yet this appetizing combination costs no more than does the best grades of oleomargarine.

Can't Be Told From Butter TROCO has all the good qualities of fine creamery butter. The only difference you will notice is the cost. It is as nutritious as cream butter, and as easily digested. It possesses the fuel value needed for energy. TROCO when served has butter's golden color, because we supply the same vegetable coloring used by all butter makers. Served on your table, without explanation, no one can tell the difference. Goes Farther In Cooking TROCO, used in cooking, gives the same results as butter, except that it goes farther. Cooks should remember this anci reduce the amount.

It makes such cake as has not been known since butter soared in price. It allows the old-fashioned "rich cooking' that builds up the family health. Your DealerlCan Supply TROCO If your dealer doesn't already keep TROCO, ask him to get it for you. Tell him you must have this new-day successor to butter. Insist until he secures a supply. For TROCO solves one of the biggest problems presented by our high food prices The problem of serving appetizing, wholesome butter at a moderate cost. Made by the
