other very, very dearly, so that now I ran
unklv pjv we bear the relation of -Meet-hcrts."
This sount: m-vn haa often tried to kle
me and ocraKlnnally I allowed him to do
so. but most of the time I refused, for fear
tnnt it vvaa wrona-. neppite the raet that we
care for each ofher bo much.
Perhaps ou will wonder why we are not
engaged under these circumstance, hut, sou
see. we are both very nung vet. Ileside. the

several years as he Is no- training for his

Cynthia, dear, do you think t baTe dene
wrong In allowing him to kiss me those few
times since I know him? He U a fine, clean
nnd reallj' noble fellow a leader In manv
circle, and alwass admired and respected
I could say so nny moro splendid things of
him hut I know that eventually he will read
this In sour column Or. on the other hand
do sou think our relationship Is close enough
to vake an occasional kiss permissible?
We are both so anxious to do what Is
right Csnthla That Is why t have come
to your valuable cqlumn for advice In this
matter. JIAIIJORIE.
Under the circumstances It seems as If
It would he better for a girl and man in
a case such as you describe to become
engaged. (This ffr their own knowledge,
as if they have to wait some time to he
married thev need not tell their friends
they are engaged.) With the knowledge
that they Intend to marry as soon as the
way is clear. It would seem that an oc
casional kiss would be allowable.

Dear.Cvnthla I am a girl of sixteen and

I would like jou to tell me la. sour column
what tn say In one of my letters to him

A FAITHFUL UEADErt
I think a better plan would he not to
answer his letters so soon. Perhaps this
will make him see two can play the game
of delay. However, you must remember
a soldier Is a very busy boy and does not
always have time to write v-hen he
would like to. It would be a mistake,
though, dear, to try to make a boy

N Till! days that followed, Jack did
become inteiested In Natalie Jergens.
Once ltuth met them out driving In
Jack's little motor car, and Xatalle had
blushed anil waved while Jack had
looked slightly embarrassed.
Xatalle was so admirably suited to
Jack In every way. There was nothing
very much to her. but she tried pa
thetically to feel deeply over things, to
understand emotions and to come up to
what Helen cvprcted of her Helen
was to Natalie a marvelous person, to be
patterned after If possible, only It
hardly seemed possible. She confided
nalvelj to Uutli one morning that sho
knew she could never do what Helen
had done.
"Why, Just think, to marry Jimmy as
she did without telling her people, and
to live In that dreadful little place with
him. Oh, It was Just too wonderful and
awful."
And Ruth looking Into Natalie's cloud
less blue eyes, knew that tu Natalie It
had been "just too wonderful and aw
ful." Natalie was a little person who
hart no unsounded depths she was one of
the women, an'd there were many, who
would never feel the lack of Independ
ence ; In fact w ho rather resented such n
thing as a slur on their attractiveness.
Natalie was a woman who liked being
dependent, and Jack wanted Just that
type of woman
"I don't really think Helen minded,"
Ruth had remarked
"Oh, of course she didn't mind, that's
the beautiful part of It." Natalie has
tened to say. afraid lest ltuth think
her callous. "But how splendid," she of
fered ji the next breath, "that she
could come back home to live while
Jimmy is away" She pronounced
"Jimmy" wjth a faint lisp that vaguely
annoyed Ruth, and yet it was Impos
sible to feel annoyed with Natalie who
was such a veritable Infant.
Natallt's tactics with men were very
pretty and all very much alike, She
had a system of eye dropping and her
soft cheeks would flush softly, and she
would act very, very helpless, and some
men seemed to like the method very
much. i
"When 1 looked at Natalie," Ruth con
fided to Helen, "I wonder If I am get
ting eld Do you ever feel that way
too?"
"My child, I'm married, remember,"
Helen returned, "and I feel as old as
Methuselah when Natalie chatters to me,
but I don't mind, because she's easily
squelched and she's an awfully nice kid
even if tlieie Isn t much to her."
"She told me that she vvbb simply wild
over the men In uniform; -she goes to
all the dances given for them around
town."
Helen laughed, and then sobered
quickly, "Ruth, do you think Jack s
Interested?"
"Yes, I think so, do you?"
Helen drew a long sigh of relief, "I
was so afraid you might not h sen
slhle about It, Natalie Is Just the kind
of a girl Jack ought to marry, a little
scatterbraln whom he can bully to his

THE DAILY
V
CUPID AT CHECK ROOM
By Elizabeth I. Saunders
AT THE check room of the city de
- partment store all was excitement.
It was Hearing the end of the day, and
the tired shoppers lud all returned for
their many checked parcels. Mavis Mere
dith vvns Impatiently chewing at the
finger of an offenselcss kid glove." "Oh,
dear, 1 Just Know that I will lose my
trnln there are so many people ahead
of me," sho thought,
"Your check, madame," came at last
from the tired check girl, much to the
relief of Mavis; but ala.s! before Mavis
could thrust her cljeck Into the out
stretched hand of the check girl a mas
culine hand reached over her shoulder
and laid his check upon tho girl's palm.
Indignantly Mavis turned upon tho In
truder, her dark eyes flashing1 and her
sensitive mouth aqulver with anger.
"I beg j-our pardon, sir, but f .believe
I was here first," she ventured to the
j-oung aviator.
"I am very sorrj-, lady. Check girl,
please wait on this j-oung lady first?"
tie said, with an amused twinkle in his
ejes. Then to himself he thought: "A
queer little person, but very prettj'."
"Very well, sir," answered the check
girl, and the girl was gone with both
checks, only to return In a few mo
ments with the two packages, both of
them being suit boxes. "Here Is your
parcel, madam and yours, sir."
"Thank you," came from both parties,
nnd as they neared the door Jack held
open the doors for his offendant.
'Thank jou!" she snapped, more me
clrfmlcally than willfully, and she was
lost In the crowds.
"Thank goodness, I won't have to
wear my old blue silk tonight
After a hurried supper Mavis went,
to her room to dress for the eventful
night ; but as she opened the treasured
box all her hopes vanished, for Instead
of the dainty party dress she found, to
her horror, that she had an officer's
overcont. '"Oh, then, I must wear the
old blue dress nfter all," she said al
most pathetically, trying hard to choke
back the tears of disappointment.
By tho time Mavis and her mother
had nrrlved at the rally the program
was wall underwaj-, for the aviator whs
already on the platform. Young and
old were craning their necks over the
crowd to get a look at the new aviator,
and Mavis did likewise, but as she
recognized the aviator or the checkroom
coincidence, her anger rose. "Just wait
till he gets through. I'll tell him some
thing." A little while later Mavis was
well aware of the fact that the speaker
had left tho platform, and that the band
had started to Jazz so Invitingly and
sho was also aware of the fact that this
verv Impolite aviator was awful nice,
and she liked his personality .very much,
hut sho was not aware of the fact that
the aviator had recognized her and was
coming toward her. "May I intrude once
more today, and hove this dance?" he
ventured. Mavis Jumped at the sound
of bis voice, "Yes, 1 .mean No," ahe
answered confused.

It may net always be convenient to
have such a baked dinner; but. If you
do light the oven 'to bake cake or even
quick bread, think ahead far enough
to have seme sort of fruit or pudding
ready to put In the oven for use at a
later meal. If such care la used It may
prove better economy to make frequent
use of the oven.
.Another way to save fuel Is the use
of the tireless cooker for meat, cereals
and some vegetables. The main point
In the conservation of fuel In cooking
Is planning ahead how to make the
best use of the smallest amount of fuel.

NOVELETTE
"Do you know what you mean?" he
asked good-naturedly. At this remark.
Mavis arose to her full five feet two,
and tounteed, "Do you realize that you
have my new dress?"
"Do you realize you have -my new
coat?" he answered calmly.-
"Yes. but It's all J'our fault, and you
know It," sho whined. "I realized that
It Is my fault, and am not the least bit
sorry," ho answered. '"What do you
mean?" she asked hotly. "I mean that
I like you. and I Intend to know you
better now let us dance." A few weeks
later, as Jack called to see Mavis, Mavis
asked If he wouldn't try to brush up his
memory a. bit and bring back her dress,
as she needed It.
"Are you going to marry me. before I
go?" was his only reply. "No, I'm not."
Jack had popped this question so many
times to Mavis, and each time had re
ceived the same answer, that now he
was most desperate. "Yes, you are, and
what's more, you are going, to wear the
'love drees' to our wedding," he re
plied fiercely. "But Jack I don't love
jou " "Oh, j-es, you do and you know
It, so let's decide right now when.lt will
be." So It was a few days later that
Mavis, dressed In the love dress, marched
to tho altar with Jack, and as she
later told her friends, "I don't know-how-
It happened, hut you see Jack was
so forward once I thought he waa Im-
SoMe but It's Just his waj- anyway I
ad to marry him In order to get my
dress but good-by ror now. I must
make a call on that dear little check
girl. She's some ctipld, I'll Bay."
