"I am quite sure, Margie dear,"
began Dick, "that you remember
tli&t ride we took in the smaU
hours ol the morning the night be
fore we were married.
"I had been out with the hoys
at a farewell supper ami I h.i 1
drunk altogether too much, hut I
was bu'iilcnly sobered us you
voice cmik' over the wire. You
rememiier Dr. Atwater had been
talking to you on the duties of
marriage.
"Neither of us, Margie, at that
time, had any more Idea that
:u.iri-i.i •• meant anything injio
than a glorious courtship and 1
remember I was madder tuan a
hornet at the old doctor for filling
you up with that old fauUlonei
bunk as I called It myself.
"Wasn't that ride glorious,
dear heart? As I write with deatii
looking over my should I can turn
a smiling face to his grim visage
wlieu I think of that ride. For '
have lived. No one can, take that
away from me.
"You were so dear that night.
You were so dependent and yield
ing. You wanted to believe all
that I said when I told you that
our marriage was going to be like
no other inct- the world began.
' 'Will you always love no,
Dick, as you do now?' you said, as
your clingling lips left mice. It
is the universal question, I expect,
but I was .flinii:.i Indignant that
you would ask it of me. Of course,
I would, only more so, and 1 swore
under ray breath at the old doctor
for putting any thoughts of duty
or responsibility into your pretty
head.
" 'I did not want a wife to have
any responsibility,' I said to my
self. I only wanted a wife to love
and be loved.
"Margie, I did not think at tho
turn- that such thoughts as these,
which prohafhly fill the heads o?
all > onii". lovera, are the beginning
of the whole trouble and mistakes
of marriage—aobut a week after
-a man begins to wake up to tlu
l;ict that love is only a part of the
life that must be lived together.
"But that night my wife, you
will forgive me, now that I am
where I rannot ask forgiveness,
when I tell you that probably thai
night on that drive I was happiest
of my whole life. It was the ape*.
I know that the next day you
would belong to me and I was pas
sionately, delifiously in love witb
you. You were looking at m« to
calm your fears and comfort yea.
'No poet has pictured heaves
as I knew It that night and since
I have thought about it I have
come to the conclusion that even
in your greatest happiness you
must still have hopes of greater
happiness to make your heaveu
conrplete.
"You know, Margie, that a man
in my position cannot help specu
lating on the world beyond and t
am quite sure there is great jny
and happiness after death. Tro
heaven we have been told about
will not be the heaven at our
dreams unleea tiiere comes the
consciousness of greater Joy to
come.
"Everlasting peace may mean
everlasting sleep, everlasting In
ertia, but everlasting happiness
and everlasting Joy must —to thq
finite mind at least —mean ever
1.1 i in.', hope. I don't know, Mar
gie dear, what.is coming to me
on the other side of the great sea.
"It may be everlasting Joy or
it may be everlasting oblivion.
But whatever it in I'll take my
chance. With all my faults, all
my 6lns, of commission and omis
sion, I am bat human, and for
mortals to reach immortality has
always seemed to me a task too
great for human mind to conceive
or human power to*achieve.

gie, lint you lee I only have

ANSWERS
BY CYNTHIA Q REV
Dear Miss Grey: I have some
sls'ers, and a wounded brother
in ttie old country who are on
the verge of sturvation, where
they cannot get enough food.
Could you please tell me if I
should be allowed to send them
some food from this country?
E. P.
It depends greatly upon what
country your people are In as to
whether you could send them
food. If you will consult the local
food administrator or the Red
Cross, they can advise you.
Dear Miss Grey: Wouldn't It
be a fine and patriotic Idea* to
convert the golf grounds In the
United States into war gardens
for the period of the war? Think
of the number of grounds in
the country, each containing 15
or 20 acres of good soil.
Don't you think it would be
much more patriotic for these
business men who claim they
must play golf to get outdoor
exercise to wield the hoe a few
hours dally instead of chasing
those foolish little white balls?
I was on a train the other
evening and noticed eight big
men playing golf and the
thought came to me that Uncie
Sam would a lot rather see those
big huskies hoeiug spuds.
This evening quite a few of
they boys at camp were talking
about it, and one of -them sug
gested i ii.it we ought to go down
to the grounds and plow It up
and plant spuds. One of the

Your idea is patriotic alright,
and I do not doubt your intention*
an- i in- bent; but I very niuch
friu you would have a difficult
time convincing the owners of the
golf grounds of the direct action
methods of any sort are very un
popular at tlie present time.
BUsineHtt people, as all otliora,
must have some recreation. All
work and no play iuake« Jack a

to hoeing a war garden during his
recreation houis, would be equal
to putting you boys in an office to
pound a tyewrlter when you nre
in 11ii< habit of playing cards or
reading.

a few liii.siiii-ss men wlk> mude war
gardnn* last year, and who are
making even larger ones this year.
I think it would be more patri
otic for you in>js to wait until the
govern iiient orders the golf
grounds used for other purposes.
In one instance a golf ground has
been converted into a training

Dear Miss Grey: The letters
from mon and women on flirt
ing and its attendant annoy
ances, one sex Maming the oth
er Bex, lias interested me and I
should like to add my opinion.
On account of the unprece
dented slaughter of lniin*ii
beings on the i>lanet today, na
ture is sending out her S. O. S.
■ ••i Hi* and any human being who
is at all attuned with the earth
ly life will respond to some de
gree under some conditions.
Now those forces are only vic
ious and harmful when they are
uncontrolled and misdirected.
Like the floods of a river if
turned into a proper channel
they will be a blessing to man
kind; but if allowed to run
wild, will wreck and devastate
a man's life or a nation's.
There is a lot more I could
say—but "A word to the wise Is
sufficient." Think it over. Go
out of doors and look at the
beautiful spring, nature is
bringing forth abundantly.

NEW BLAZE
STARTS UP;
OUT SOON
There was considerable alarm
for a short while Thursday night
when a call from the Seaborn
shipyards was received at the
firo station on tho tideflats near
the St. Paul mill, statiug that the
fire had broken out afresh in'
some of he oakum where the aft
ernoon fire started.
No. 12 wagon was immediately
rushed to the scene. The blaze
was not as serious as was at first
supposed. A small three-gallon
chemical fire apparatus was suf
ficient to extinguish the flames.
It was learned at fire head
quarters r^riday morning that
several complaints have been re-'
celved recently about fire eondi- 1
tions along the waterfront, espe-:
dally in the district surrounding
the Tacoma shipyards.
Carlson, one of the Seaborn'
employes, who was slightly in
jured on the wrist Thursday, is
said to have -lost his coat in the'
