V A MW. ELIZABETH THOMPSON
Dear Mrs. Thompson:. I am keeping company with a man who said something which I consider very rude. Sunday he went to dinner at a married friend's house and met a young girl there. The next day I took a walk with him and he told me how well he liked this girl. He said she was very Pretty and Ju3t the kind he would like to take long hikes with us. He said that next spring if he can't find another man to go along he will have to take her with us. This hurt my feelings very much. What do you think of a man who would say a thing like tht CATHERINE, S. The man had no Intention of hurting your feelings. He considers you a very good friend and feels that you would be as glad to meet an interesting girl as he was. Be too big for Jealousy or he will be disappointed in you. Never let him know that you resented his remark. If you meet the Klrl be cordial to her and endeavor to win her friendship. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I met a young man who came to see me a few times and then stopped coming, although I have reason to think he was interested In me. I think he must haye heard something that was un
true. He has asked a girl friend about me several times and she says he appears to be very much interested In me yet Would it be all right to invite the girl friend and her boy friend over to my house some evening and have my former boy friend? Or would it be better for my girl friend to Invite him to her house some night and have me there. SNOW DROP. Le the boy find a way to see you again. If he is interested enough to want to be with you he wil ask for the permission. Either way that you suggest would be running after him. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am engaged to a soldier who used to write to me every day when he was In camp. I received word that he had been transferred and then I heard no more from him. I am very much worried because It has. been four weeks since I got my last letter. What shall I do? Do you think anything serious has happened to him? WORRIED. Nothing serious has happened to the soldier or you would have read of it in the casualty list. In many cases letters are delayed for several weeks following sailing. You really have no cause to worry. s

HIGH 8EA OR HARBOR WHICH? Months before, when John left the employ of the Carter Publishing company because the head of the firm refused him a well-deserved increase in salary, he had vowed that some day he would make Mr. Barber regret letting him go. It was a pardonable ira-1 pulse, therefore, that made John send the first copy of "The Question of Life" that came off the presses to his former employer. On the title page was the imprint: , "Published by Ferrol & Ferrol, Arcadia. N. J." It was a sightly little book, for every detail connected with its production had been lovingly labored over until It stood out as an almost flawless product with the stamp of personality on it. John and Edith sent the book off and took as their sole payment for the satisfaction they felt at John bebelng able to kep his word to himself that some day he would impress Mr. Carter. That the success of the book still remained to be proven did net lessen their satisfaction. John had vindicated his worth by the very existence" of the printed volume. They did not expect to hear from
Carter anything more than a formal acknowledgment. Therefore, when a letter with "Carter Publishing Company" on the envelope arrived John Ferrol opened it with only passing interest. But as soon as he read the contents, such a change came over his expression that Edith looked -up. "What is it, Jack?" she cried, sensing news. Ferrol handed the letter over without comment. Edith read: "My dear Mr. Ferrol: The copy you have sent me of 'The Question of Life, for which I thank you, has impressed me very favorably. I congratulate you on being its publisher. If, however, you wish to listen to an offer from me to take overits publication from you, coupled with a proposition for you to come back to work for us at terms better than those at which you worked for us when you left, I shall be glad to see you and advise you of the proposals I am ready to make you. Sincerely, FREDERICK CARTER, President Carter Publishing Co." The Ferrols looked at each other in question, a little tumult rising in Ff!!th'S TP3St.
"There's nothing to be said until we know what he offers." John said finally. Edith nodded, wanting very much to "say more," but John put on bis coat, so she kissed him farewell and tried to put out of her mind the suspense she felt. All that day Edith and the kiddles worked like beavers on the many details connected with the distribution of the "family book" as they called !t, Edith throwing a greater fervor into her work than ever, to keep from thinking of what John would have to tell on his return that evening. Later, when Miss Selden came out for the week-end, Edith told her of the letter. The two women tried to make light of the possibilities. But in their hearts they felt a peculiar trembling. In the thick of battle, in the midst of war, the soldier becomes so calloused to danger and terrible strain that it soon becomes an every-day matter. But at the first genuine prospect of peace, of rest, there comes a loosening of the heart strings, a strange relaxation seizes them, 'as the strings of a harp vibrate when suddenly released from tension. When John came in from the interview with Carter the women hardly trusted themselves to speak. "He offers us every cent we put Into the book for the complete rights to it and fifty percent additional on our Investment," said Ferroll triumphantly. "If we sell him the book, he also offers me a position as assistant sales manager at (50 a week with a contract for a year." "What did you say?" Edith asked slowly, but with high-beating pulses. "That I would give him my answer tomorrow," John said, looking affectionately at her. He had postooned his reply not only because he did not know what to choose at the moment but also out of compliment to his faithful partners whose wishes he wanted to consult "So what would you like me to tell him?" he continued. "We're on the high seas, sailing on our own little bark, with our own cargo in the venture. That our craft is a good one and the cargo in it worth something, Carter's offer proves. Now which shall it be forward nn our own on the high seas, or safe harbor and a good berth ?" (To be continued.)
