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 if-1-u-ill EY E S I G II T EXAMINATION Ilttlng mdlmepglylng Glsmlr II. J. IAA!" onumsnler ‘ 0f|lso Connected WIC! Drugilon 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?"

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.

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.
