SMALL TOWN GIRL BY BEN AMES WILLIAMS

Continued from page 2

he’ll ever get marriecifl-l?.s-§l`vi'ray`s rushing some girl; but he never gets real chummy with anyone but mar- ried women, where he‘s safe. He’s like a cat walking along the edge of a pond, afraid to wet his feet. He was crazy about Emily when he was with her here; but after we got

home . . . ."

“I don't see how a man could

help being in love with Emily,” Kay confessed. “But of course it wasn’t

your fault, Helen." _

She found it somewhat easier,

during the months that followed, to forget Dane; because her mother wrote that Ned Pastor, the new superintendent of the Power Plant, was paying Emily attention. Dur- ing the Christmas holidays Kay met this young man and liked him. She and Emily talked about him. for an hour before they went to sleep that night.

"Hes so awfully shy and gentle,”

Kay commented. “I should think he‘d just wilt if you ever frowned at him, Emily." .

Emily nodded sn1llingly. “But hc

isn't really shy." she said. “He wasnt very well, when he was a boy; so he never did anything in athletics But he's wonderfully bril- liant. Father says he’s put in a number of changes at the plant that have improved things. Of course I don't understand the tech- nical side of it; but Father likes him.”

"I suppose that’s why you’re nice

to him?" Kay suggested, teasingly; and Emily laughed and shook her head,

"No, I’m really quite fond of

him," she declared. “He likes to come to supper here; and during the fall we used to drive a good' deal, in the evenings, after supper. He doesn’t dance, and he doesn’t like parties. He likes to be out of doors, so we take walks together, and things like that."

Ksy, watching the older girl

ohrewdly, asked: "How about Dane? Have you told him? Won't he be Jealous?"

"Oh, I don’t hear from Dane,"

lmily said in a. carefully careless ions. “There wasrrt really anything to that, Kay. We just-liked each other in passing, that's all."

Kay touched her hand. "Honest,

lknlly Doe.m*t hurt any more ”

“Never did." Emily assured her.

“Cross my heart!"

Kay only half believed her; nevertheless, when she retumed to college, she told Helen about Ned Pastors devotion with a certain tri- umph: and Helen cried.

"Well, 1'm glad of itl It serves

Dane right for being so poky slow; I told him when I was at home that if he had a bit of sense he'd go up and see Emily during Holidays; but he said he couldn’t get away. He said he'd write her a letter. though." She laughed softly. "You know, a man always gets interested if he thinks o. girl like; him!"

"Emily doesn’t care anything

about him any more,” Kay said atoutly. "I hope you didn't tell him she did. But Ned ... ."

"I'll bet if she were in New York

or somewhere near Dane, it would be different," Helen declared; and Kay said honestly:

"Why-maybe!" Her eyes were

shadowed. "Cai-vel's a small town. Helen: and most of the boys get jobs somewhere else, or go td col- lege and don’t come back. Therc arent many available husbands

there. I hope Ned marries Emily

and takes her away. If he’s clever as she thinks he is, he’ll be promoted to some other Job pretty soon, somewhere else. The Ca.;-vel plant lsn’t. a very important one. I Suppose.” And she added loyally: “Carvel's a lovely place, and the people are nice, and I like it. But- I’d die it I had to live there al- ways!"

Helen nodded; and than Bally

I-lays came in and asked in a dry tone: “What are you two talking about so seriously?"

“About men and marrying,"

Helen told her. ,

“Two entirely unrelated subjects,”

Sally protested. “Men don’t know anything about marrying. It's we women who have to attend to all that.” '

Helen said laughingiy: “Of course,

but we have to pick out a man before we can marry him.”

"One‘s as good as another," Sally

rejoined indolently. “Not much to choose, if you ask me. Men have single-track minds.

Sally arched her brows. “Your experience? My dear. I`vc madd a study of the male, lo, these nine- teen years. To hear them tell it." She looked at Kay with a wise eye. “How do you know so much?" she demanded. “I've always understood that New Hampshire winters discouraged romance!"

"But the summers are grand,"

said Kay, amused now. “‘I-lot as love in haytime,’ you know. That’s a New England simile."

“Tell us all." Sally challenged:

“Where do you bury your dead?"

Kay chuckled. “I haven`t any,"

she admitted. “Theres one boy in Carvel. He works for the Power Company, and lie's always covered with hardware. Climbing spurs, and pliers, and wrenches and screw drivers and things. But whenever he sees me, he gew red around the ears: and once he came to call' on me,"

"Sounds like the answer to a

ma.iden‘s prayer," Sally commented; and she looked at Helen wisely. “We’ll have to undertake her edu- cation, won’t we? How about show- ing her Chick R.antoul?"

.Greatest J ewess

In The World

BALTIMORE, Dec 23.-Acclaim-

ed by Jews as the greatest woman their race has produced in genera- tions. Miss Henrletta Szold, Balti- more-born Palestine social work- er, was back in this city today to spend her 75th birthday with rela- tives.

International Jewry is planning

her natal day observance today on a wide scale. Although Zionist lead- ers will participate in an interna- tional broadcast, and rabbis in every city will preach of her labors in Sabbath services. Miss Szold will not take part in the celebration.

She slipped unnoticed Wednes-

day from the steamer which brought hér from Palestine tc New York, and motorcd here to avoid any receptions which might have been prepared for her. She will rest, she said, before starting. "A great work ahead of me."

“I must get every young Jew out

.of Germany.” she explained. "And after that, I must get thorn out of Poland France. Lithuania, and »Carpathia, Russia."

“Abide With Me”

THE KING‘S FAVORITE HYMN

A good many people were sur-

prised at the time that the Kings favorite hymn, “Abide with me," was not included in the Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving. “Abide with me." both in its ordinary set- ting and in the lovely arrangement by Liddell, is one of the best known hymns in the English language.

When Queen Elizabeth entered

Bt. Paul’s Cathedral to give thanks for the defeat of the Spanish Armade. one Henry Lyte, botanist and- antiquary, presented to her a copy of his book, “The Light of Britayne," which he had dedicated to her. Centuries later, his das- oendant. Henry Francis Lyte, then a. Devonshire clergyman. wrote the hymn which was tp become the favourite of another monarch

' Bom Near Kelso

Lyt: was born in Scotlandeducat- ed in Ireland. and worked in Eng- land. As a boy he left Ednam, near Kelso, to go to school at Portora, Enniskillen. He trained as a doctor, but later took Holy Orders, a. graudating from Trinity College. Dublin. In 1815 he was _appointed curate at Taghmon, near Wrex- ford, but had to resign owing to ill- health. Two years later, at Marsa- ion. in Comwall, he married Ann Maxwell. who wrote s chapter of Boswellia Life of Johnson."

They were ideally happy together

the only cloud being Lybe's delicacy. But in 1823 they went to Lower Brlxham, in Devon, where for 24

years he was a much-loved pastor

TOWARD POETRY

(By The Canadian Press)

EDMONTON, Dec. 23-Under the

title "Canada's Tide of Poetry Ris- ing," The Journal says:

“A recent survey revealed at least

15 new books of Canadian poetry that have appeared during the pros- ent year. The majority of these were by singers of established reputa- tion such as Duncan Campbell Scott, Wilson MacDonald, E. J. =Pratt, Arthur Bourinot_ C. F. Lloyd and Annie Charlotte Dalton. Moro than this, several second editions appeared, bringing with them the indication that Canadian readers were tuming to the muse to a greater extent than they had been doing in the past.

"Under these circumstances it is

not surprising to hear that A monthly publication devoted entire- ly to Canadian verse is to make its in-at appearance shortly. There is unquestionably enough material available to maintain a high stand- ard and the time seems propiticus
