5y JL MUX. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I hare a very dear boy friend who has Just been called to service. His mother, is dead and he has no near relatives to knit for him. I would like to knit a Bweater and eend it to him. Mother thinks this would be running after him. I know him so well that I am sure he would not look at it in that way. Do you think It would be all right for me to do it for him? ' NINETEEN. The boy will have no cause to think you are running after him. . It is permissible to knit for strangers who are in the war. and surely if you can knit for a stranger you can knit for a good friend. , Dear Mr3. Thompson: I am a high school girl and I need monpy for books. My father does not live at home and my mother hasn't knowa where he Is for several years. She needs all the money she can earn just for us to live on. Do you think I could . earn money embroidering? I have not money to buy the materials, but might I find some one who would furnish them and pay me for the work? What do you think? EDNA T. You would make little money by the means you mention, because there is little demand for such work. You can earn more money by helping some housekeeper or mother of little children with her evening - dinner work or staying with her children while she goes out. . Ask your principal to help you find work of this kind. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am an

Englishman and have been In this country six years. I left England because I had a quarrel with ray fiance. We were going to be married and the day was set. Because of something I did she broke the engagement and would not consider marrying me. I could not forget her after I came here and no other girl Interests me. Several months ago I was working in one of our largest cities. One day I was in a department store in the sporting section and I happened to see a very pretty girl who evidently

noticed me. Later I learned that she i belonged to a very wealthy family, j She seemed to love me at first sight i and later managed to get acquainted ! with a woman who knew me and we were formally introduced. I was en

tertained in her home several times and then I came here to take a position. She writes to me often an I know she would like to have me marry her and bring her here. I am not happy living as I am. Shall I marry the girl who loves me, or wait until after the war and go back to England and try to regain the love of my former sweetheart who has never married? DOUBTFUL. Do not marry unless you are sure you will better your conditions. If you are unhappy now you may find yourself far more , unhappy married to a girl you do not love. It would not be a kindness to make her your wife without love. If you still care for the girl In England it would be worth trying to regain her love.

Mrs. Fenn' had betrayed" herself. "What do you mean by 'only two days after -T' Edith asked. "Two days after what?- It was a week ago that he told us he needecKhe money!" Mrs. Fenn floundered sadly, denying

that Ehe meant anything at all.. But

slowly a nameless fear crept into Edith's heart. . She left soon after and went down to where Edgar was busy on his invention, singing blithely as he worked. ; (To be continued.)

AFTER THE THUNDERBOLT Edgar's announcement fell on John Ferrol like a thunderbolt. The sacrifice of all the savings bad been in vain unless still greater sacrifices were forthcoming. The feverish dream of early and rich reward through the completion of Edgar's invention were now nightmare visions of what would befall them without the protection on their slight bulwarks their savings. The Ferrols were as stunned as though the thunderbolt had struck them from the sky instead of from Edgar's lips. . John was the first to speak. His face had turned tired and stern. "Well, it'B gone. If you can rafre any money elsewhere, Edgar, It's up

to your conscience as to whether you put it into your invention or give it back to Edith and the children, where it belongs. But any money I can raise goes into the bank for them and not the prospect of a million dol

lars for a cent of it will tempt me to give another dollar again for anyone but them! I'm through." Not a word more between him, Edith or Edgar on the subject for days. Edgar pottered about dejectedly in the cellar at his model for some days. Then he began to stay away from the house, visiting the neighbors particularly, as Edith observed, the Fenns. ....... From one of these visits to the Fenns he came home with a change in his manner, although he tried to hide it. Edith, sitting alone and depressed in her sewing room one day,t caught the sound of cheerful, whistling from the cellar where she also heard Edgar hammering away with new energy at his boiler, cylinder. Edgar's apparent callousness to the

situation seemed the last straw that broke Edith's faith. She felt that unless she gave vent to her feelings in some way she would go shrieking mad. Without changing her house slippers she ran out of the house and into Mrs. Fenn's kitchen. There was such a sorrow-born sympathy in her neight bor's character that Edith craved the relief which even the mere pouring cut of her troubles to Mrs. Fenn's ear would bring. She had done It before. For no woman, however happily married, can do without the comfort of at least one understanding, sympathizing woman friend. For the feminine soul comprehends the feminine soul as no masculine one can do. In fact, women are often enemies because they understand one another so well!

Mrs. Fenn turned from her breadmaking as Edith entered the kitchen,

looked keenly at her, then wiping heri hands quickly, she put her arms about I

Edith's waist and took her into the

cool, half-darkened sitting room. She

made her comfortable on the sofa, and while Edith relieved her over-burdened nerves with "a good cry," Martha Fenn. busied herself with the little attentions a loving and life-taught woman knows how to bestow. A little later, at the right moment, she asked softly: ,' , . ."Now, my dear, tell me." Falteringly came the answer. "It's Edgar he's sunk every cent he's got in the Invention and again need3 a lot of money. .' In' spite of herself Mrs. Fenn cried: "What, again? Only two days after " She stopped as suddenly as she had begun. She had said something so unexpected by herself that even in spite of her misery Edith noticed that

from the picture it s going to be a

elaborate affair, too.

Made from the Best Wheat Now comes the bumper wheat

the old-time quality in their bread 1 Last year millers were obliged to take any wheat they could get. This unselected wheat, ground under Valier's superior milling methods, made exceptionally good flour. But now, we are back to the old Valier buying standard we are selecting only the best wheat and are paying a premium to get it for Valier's Community Flour Pure white nothing but wheat

Valier's Enterprise Flour so widely known for its excellence. The Government fixes the maximum price of flour a miller may charge as much less as he chooses depending on the quality of his flour. Valier's Community Flour costs a little more in the sack than ordinary flour, but less in the loaf. You get biffcer, better loaves light, wholesome, with that oldtime quality you were used to before the war. Ask your grocer.
