IS East and West is West, and never the twain $311? 2.1.135 limit tiglllltfrfililisd’ 01 mliie l5 Very much in love with a boy of d nafionalilv diners“; from hers. As we two individuals, separate and distinct from their iaeal herit- ages, they believe that they are suited to each o.her. However the boy feels a strong sense of loyalty towards his lather who expects’ h m to marry within his own race. Should the boy heed lhle teaching-S and desires of his parents, or the proinptiiigs of his heart? LIVE Answer '

Interracial marriages are seldom successful, and they are pgrtlgularly risky when tlie ivoiiian is mi American, For American women are SDQlICEl,

as IOIGILLHCFS say. 'I‘liey have cnioyed a freedom and a consideration that the women of no other race have. and they find it almost impossible to adapt themselves to the ivavs of husbands who are accustomed to see- m3 ‘he Wilme“ °§ their m"! landfi 00011173’ a subservient position and live restricted lives.

I take it from your letter that the boy in this case is an Oriental and that he expects to return to his o\vn country. If he took an American wife with liim, he would deeply offend his parents and his family. who would give her a cold shoulder, if they did not refuse to receive her at all. For Orientals are Just as much opposed to their sons marrying white ‘women as white pétfilllls are opposed i0 their daughters marrying Orient- als. Aiid the girl woud liiid herself most miserable, with no society, no amusements to which she had been accustomed, nowhere to go and noth- in: to do. and perhaps alter a while to find herself Just one of several

wives.

It will be far better for both the boy and the girl in this case Just to kiss untl part, and fold their little romance away in lavender,

Dear Dorothy Dix~Two men wish to many me. One is flph and one is ncor- Tlic rich one I do not love because he is illiterate, morally weak, inconstant and bores me to death. I love the poor one madly. He is cleao and fine and brilliant. But, being an extravagant woman and quite clothes-mad. I feel I cannot be happy without the life of ease and all the lovely things to which I am accustomed. On the other hand, the {poor one would give me a beautiful love and be my intellectual equal, but ittle else. Ultimately, which will be my greater need-love and oom- finionship, or ease and luxury?! do not know.

ion before long. Answer:

_ If you have more back than heart and would rather ride in a liiriou- sine vititha bore than to have your true 10ve’s arm about you and walk through life with a fascinating companion, then take the rich man, But, the trouble with marrying a man for his money is that so often he loses it, and you have nothing left. Whereas the poo" man often makes a fortune. But which ever way you decide the question you will probably have your moments o! wishing you had taken the other.

The living room looking a little dingy these bright summer dayl? flay flounced curtains dress it up.

They're inexpensive, quickly made -and you'll fall for the clever valance that looks like a smart new cornice.

Imagine these draperies in a cool-tulip-patterned chintz, crim- son and green on gray. Or in lemon-yellow with an all-over design in gray and emerald green. Or in Swedish blue piped in red.

To make the valance, simply take a iii-sight length of material and ahirr on two flat rods with a trill on both edges (A).

For each flounce of the druperiel, bind or picot lower edge, gather top. stitch to muslin ‘ ’ " (B). Let each flounce overlap the one

CHANCE

RECEIPTS ONE LUNCH.

The form required his name and address and that of his previous employers and having shaken the large, and rather moist hand of Mr. McKissoch, Ferguson sallied forth into Vallence Street carry- ‘ing a brown bag made of a sub- istaiue that closely resembled lea- itner. It wasn't heavy but ne grip- ,ped it tightly. The whole thing lseemed unreal and it. was not until Ihe got back to his room in Percy Street that he realised how little the Job really amounted to.

No wages: no expenses. Ten per cent. on sa'es . . . if any.

In ‘the seculsion of his mom he examincd the samples carefully. They’ were got up very attractively and znside the dummy covers the reason why all and sundry should subscribe to the particular edition of the particular author were cun- nlngly set forth.

The Empire Encyclopaedia seem- ed particularly attractive. So mu.h so, that Ferguson in happier circumstances. might have been inclined to buy it himself. Teach-

ers, and persons, Mr. McKlssoch had suggested. Ferguson gave considerable

thought to his plan of operation and decided that the best thing to do would be to go out to one 0f the smaller towns round Ion- don and try his luck. County peo- ple. he imagined, were more readily accessible than Londoners and were probably not so pest/cred. Some- where about half-a-crown day re- turn from London was indicated and in the evening he walked afiong to Euston.

Berkhamsted, a small town in Hertfordshire, was the one he chose for the initial experiment. A cheap day-return cost exactly half-a- crown and a little after ten the next morning he walked out of the L. M. S. station on the out- skirts of the town.

He discovered, before the day was out, that he had chosen one of the most ‘heart-breaking iobs in the world. People sirnplv did not want complete editions of the great WTHQRS, Lind although here and there he managed to interest a per- son in the Empire Encyelopaedla, the interest did not take them as fai- as the essential signing on the dotted line.

He called on a clergyman, an old man with grey hair and kindly eyes, who asked him into his study. "No," he said. “Look . . .I've bought all those at one time and another."

“Sorry, sir!" likrguson said with a rather weary smile.

"I'm Just going to have lunch. Care to Join me?"

"I don't want to inflict myself." "Not at all. My wife is accustom- ed to it I assure you."

After lunch Ferguson had a chat with the old adre and ended up with telling h in his whole story. "Give me your address, Mr. Fer- guson. I may be able to help you. And in the meantime call at Num- ber Nine. Beauman Road. and ask to see Miss Cawthoi-ne. She ml ht quite easily buy the Encyclopae la. - She does buy the most extraordin- ary things."

"Thanks very much, I will."

But when Ferguson ot to Beau- man Road, Miss Ca orne was

out.

He reached Balaton just before six, having sold nothing whatever. He had met. with a good many re- buffs during the day. but he had a feeling that with a little more luck he might have sold something. He saw, of course, that the arrange- ment he had made with the Pub- lishing Company was a. very one- slded argeement. The Company, in deed, could send out scores of travellers without lncurrinl any expense the cost of the

still, it was a job of sorts.

The next day he tried his luck in Camden Town.

on the offices of House Agents and similar people.

For a wnile he met with no re- sponse, but Just before lunch he culled at the office of a solicitor. The young mansitting at the desk in the outer office was very inter- ested in the Encyclopaedia; Fergu- son did his very best and at length was delighted to hear the young man say: “All right, I'll have it."

Not until his signature was place- ed on the dotted line did Ferguson really believe that he had actually sold an encyclopaedia, had earned a guinea.

But he had.

In the afternoon he called on every other solicitor in Camden Town, but there was nothing do-

ins.

Still, a guinea for two days’ work was not too bad. and if it could be done once it could be done again.

When Mrs. Pensieven brought up his breakfast —-which always con- tained as per her contract what she called a "relish"—she also brought three letters. The first was from Mary Donovan and in second from Mrs. at Number Five —a warm, friendly, motherly letter, but the third was addressed to Ferguson I-lallett, . It was typewritten and irnperson .

"That is for you?" Mrs. Pezisleven

I. With increasing surprise Fergu-

“Dear Sin-If you have nothing better to do on Monday morning you might care to drop in here. I have a little matter to discuss with you which may prove to be to our mutual advantage. I could see you any time between ten and one."

An undecipherable signature was scrawled across the words "The National Stamp 00., Ltd," which had been impressed on the paper.

"The National Stamp Co., Ltd," Ferguson said aloud. It was addres- sed to him in his real name.

The more Femiison thought over the matter the more puzzled he came, but by the end of his meal he wisely decided not to worry any more about it until Monday. As he Se! out. carrying his sample case. he smiled as the thought came to him that l-ie might. in any case, attempt to sell an Encyclopaedis to the National Stamp Company. Ltd. There were severel men in the waiting room when he got to the office. men of a better type that the ones he had seen there on his previous visit "Here's another one." one of them greeted him. “You Just Joined up, brother." he went on to Ferguson.

"Any luck?" "A bit. Rather hard ilolnil." There was a laugh which was
