A Sequel to Marriage Meddlers
I STARED at my father in al->
mo*t terrified bewilderment at the
uncanny guess he had made.
“If thl« were 200 years sgo.“ i
I said, making a sorry attempt I
at a smile, “you would be burned
at the stake as a wizard. How- ,

“No, no," I almost shouted.
“But I had to employ a little un
holy blackmail. In the form of a
threat to make her voice her re

of to me, before she agreed to
go on.”
My father laughed, a sound so
rare wnth him that I looked at him
uneasily.

It does your heart credit, If not
your judgment.
“I suppose you felt so sorry
for Noel that you wanted to Im
press Mary with the necessity
for being kind and gentle with
him.”
KEEN INTUITION
“You are being uncanny
again,” I said, though with lips
a little stiff, for his reproof was
cutting, although I knew he did
not mean it to be.
“No, only comprehending,” he
answered, “but, thanks to you,
everything is all right. Noel
will raise no objections and
Mary will go on with her en
gagements with Redfleld. But
where Is Mary ? Busy being
kind and gentle to her husband,
I suppose.”
I knew that he did not mean his
words to sound like a sneer, but
to my overwrought imagination,
they had exactly that intonation.
1 flushed painfully, not only be
cause of what he was saying, but
because of my consciousness of the
disappointing answer 1 must give
him.
••Yes, she Is over with Noel,” I
said, ”and I am afraid you will
be angry at what I must tell you
now.”
He gave me another keen
glance, and I knew that my flushed
face and slightly trembling hands
did not escape his observation.
“I think you may tell me al
most anything,” he said, “after
the almost Insuperable task with
Noel and Mary you have just
accomplished.”
My spirits leaped from nadir to
zenith in a trice.
”You really mean that?” I
asked banally—and tremulously.
“I really mean It,” he said, ”so
tell me your piece of news at
once. Rut first, when is Mary
going to see Kcdfteld? I hope
there Is going to be no delay on
that.”
Nadir and zenith changed places
again, so far as my spirits were
concerned, but there was no use
dodging the issue and I girded my
self for the fray.
“We do not even know where
Stephen Redflrld Is.” I said. “I
shall have to And that out from
Philip Yerltzen, who spirited the
actor out of Noel's way last
evening. And I have promised
Mary that I will see him first
and pave the way for her first
meeting with him, since the
scathing xerhal dressing down
the gave him last night.”
“Yes, that's a wise pre
caution,” he assented quickly.
OUTLINES HER PLAN
“I have a talking point of ap
proach which I want to submit
to you later for your approval.”
“Presently, presently,” he said
a bit impatiently. “You haven’t
told me yet when Mary Is going
to stage this reconciliation with
her leading man.”
There was no use dodging the
Issue any longer. I gave him the
only answer I had.
“She Is going to get In his
way, and make It look acci
dental, tonight at the theater
when they are getting ready tor
the play.”

Fighting Men'* Friend:
Call Volunteers
Anew to Enroll
Draftees Feb. 16
I
If you registered for the first
draft, and have not been called up,
you do not have to register again
on February 16, but if you are
within the age limits of 20 and 44
you must register.
Registration places are now
being prepared in schools, indus
trial plants, government buildings
and other convenient places. Loca
tion of these will be published
within a few days.
Volunteer workers are required
almost 20,000 throughout the
state —for registration day. If you
can serve on February 16. offer
your services to your local draft
hoard. In Detroit get in touch with
the draft officials in the Cadillac
Square Building.
REGISTER, THEN ENLIST
MRS. FRAZIER SNAVELY:
Can my son, who will be 21 Febru
ary 21, enlist in the navy after he
registers February 16?
A—Yee. If he is able to pass the
mental and physical tests he can
enlist in either the army. navy,
marine corps or coast guard up to
the time he receives hia order for

days’ leave to come home to be
married. Does he still have a
chance to get the leave? I haven’t

A—Probably hi* leave was can
celed because of changed condi
tions in his regiment. If he applies
to his commanding officer, stating
fully the circumstances, he may be
able to obtain leave long enough
for him to come to Detroit and be
married. The probate judges at
the County Building will waive the
five-day requirements in special
cases like yours, so If you both
have your health certificates you
can obtain your marriage license
and be married within an hour
or two.
C. F. M : Q — Whom should I
contact for a position having to do
with traffic work In any of the
armed force?
A—See Captain Gillespie at the
army recruiting office in the Fed
eral Building.
ALICE: Q—ls a man Is granted
deferment because of hls depend
ents and then refuses to support
them, who should one report the
matter to?
A—Go to his local draft hoard
in the Cadillac Square Building.
E. B. M.: Q —How much do first
lieutenants draw?
A—A first lieutenant with less
than three years’ Service draws
$125 monthly and is allowed an
additional SSB monthly for rent
and subsistence.
(Editor’s note: Your second
question should be taken up in
a letter to his commanding of
ficer.)
