A sophisticated young man of
Memphis wants to know.
My dear Mrs. Jerome:
I have been about a lot and
I’ve known a lot of women, but
I haven’t found one yet worth
falling in lo.e with, in fact, I
have come to doubt that any
such thing as love exists. I’ve had
every opportunity to feel it and
yet I just don’t get that way. -I
find women too easy and too
stupid to be t:’cen seriously. Now,
I’m asking you—isn't. all this
talk of great loves the bunk?
SOPHISTICATE.
My dear young man. love is not the
bunk. An emotion which has in
spired the greatest literature, the
finest dramas, the most sublime
deeds, as well as the most terrible
ones, in history must exist.
But this kind of love is not com
mon. It is not to be found every
day, nor every year—or perhaps in
every lifetime. That is the reason
it is material for great drama and
literature. Great love is rare; and
when it is found it creates great
►beauty and perhaps great havoc.
Do you want to know why great
love is rare? Because most people
are incapable of insp.Jng it. Because
most people are too selfish, too Indo
lent and too ready to accept a sec
ond-rate affection and say that great
love is the bunk.
But few men are capable of being
great lovers. Just having a lot of
women does not mean anything. And
so, my dear, Sophistocate, if you
really want love, learn to inspire it.

even being shot was preferable to this*
terrible enforced toil.
He did not confide to his friend
his growing determination to try to
escape. It would do no good, and
perhaps the little brown man would
get hurt.
Underfoot the earth was a mass of
slippery mud which made every step
precarious. Up the river about four
hundred yards there was another
gang of dark men working under a
gang boss. Carl measured the dis
tance and decided that the other boss
was too far away to stop him -f he
should carry out his design.
His chance came sooner than he
had expected. He was staggering up
to the levee with his sand sack, when
he lost his footing and fell. As the
sack hit the ground it burst, spread
ing its damp brown contents on the
muddy ground.
The gang boss cursed him with
fluent vileness, and as the youth was
getting to his feet, the man carried
out his threat made a little while be
fc and launched his heavy booted
foot into the youth’s side. Carl was
sick with pain, but rolling over quick
ly, he evaded another kick, aimed at
his head, and got to his feet.
For an instant he stood swaying,
collecting his senses. His young jaw
went rock-like, and the color drained

•from his face. He crouched omi
nously, his arms extended crookedly
toward his assailant, and he moved
forward with the stealthy stride of a
forest savage. Suddenly he had be
come a primitive in breech-clout in
tent on the destruction of an enemy.
The thin veneer of civilization
dropped from him, and he was pos
sessed of a savage rage which sur
prised him when he thought of it
later.
The gang boss, seeing the di
sheveled youth with the terrible light
in his eyes advancing toward him,
started fumbling ineffectually at his
great coat as though searching for
his pistol. His eyes grew larger with
terrified astonishment. He hadn’t
expected any resistance. Secure in
his position as boss, vith a revolver
tucked in an inner pocket, he never
dreamed that one of these dark men
would have the courage to attack him.
He shouted weakly as Carl closed
in on him, then the youth’s strong
young hands clamped like a vise on
his throat.
Writhing wildly, the large man
slithered down into the mud, Carl
atop him, throttlin • him with a mad
strength. The man’s struggles were
becoming fainter. Hotshot shouted a
warning.
Along the bank of the river the
other gang boss was running as fast
as he could toward the struggle. In
his hand he waved a large pistol. It
was evident that he feared to shoot
from so far away for fear of hitting
Carl’s victim.
Unheeding Hots'ot’s cry, Carl re
moved his hands from the gang boss s
neck and struck tho fallen man full
in the face several times. The other
members of the crew scattered wildly,
shouting in fear at the unexpected
development. By now the other boss
was near to the seen of the fight.
As Carl rose to his feet, the man
leveled the big pistol at him, taking
deliberate aim. For a paralysed in
stant the youth faced the weapon, its
long black barrel trained directly at
his head.
In fascinated horror he saw t’ e
ponderous hammer of the enormous
weapon move back slowly, a the
pressure of the man’s finger on the
trigger increased. Then there came
a terriffle roar, and a sharp burst cf
flame.

Salads for September 4
By BETTY BARCLAY '
It’s easy to serve salads In Sep
tember, for the market is filled with
fresh fruits and green vegetables.
Salads are easy to prepare, are filled
with minerals and salts, and seem to
‘‘touch the spot” on a hot day — par
ticularly if they are cool and crisp.
Use a little sugar whenever possible.
It adds a quick-energy fuel to the
salad and tends to accentuate the
full flavor of the other ingredients.
RASPBERRY PUNCH
1 cup raspberries
1 cup currants
1 lemon
1 pint boiling water
1 cup sugar
1 cup tea
Crush fruit and strain through a
cloth. Without taking the pulp from
the cloth, put it into another dish
and pour the boiling water over it.
Drain off, but do not squeeze or it
will be muddy. Add the sugar and
stir until it is dissolved. Crol tho
roughly before adding the fruit juice
and tea.
ASPARAGUS SALAD
Cook the asparagus in salted water.
The dressing consists of one-half tea
spoon salt, a quarter teaspoon pepper,
a half teaspoon sugar, a quarter tea
>spo^n onion juice, one tablespoon
vinegar and five tablespoons of olive
oil. Mix and beat until thick and
white. Keep the asparagus in the
refrigerator until ready to serve.
Then arrange the stalks on salad
plates and serve the dressing in a
sauceboat. A bed of crisp lettuce
leaves, or water cress makes an ex
cellent addition.
SUMMER HODGE PODGE
Cut up a liberal supply of any
fruits and berries you have on hand,
mixing them as you would for a fruit
cup or punch. Orange, apples, pine
apples, grapes, cherries, peaches,
pears, plums, strawberries, raspberries
—all are good, and there should be at

►least three or four varieties used.
Cool, place on crisp lettuce leaves,
and just before serving, sprinkle
liberally with a sauce consisting of
two parts orange juice, one part
lemon juice, and as much sugar as
can be dissolved In it without thick
ening. This makes an excellent salad
for a children’s party, for it contains
nothing except the foods children
like, and is strongly alkaline in its
reaction.
