got to you after he fired the gun.
I should never have left you alone
with him." He looked away for a
second. "1 goes. he used the last
ounce of life he had to pull the
trigger. But don't worry, Honey,
he brought it on himself,"
"I know," she said, but not with-
out some sadness. "Can you get
me a Los Angeles paper, Art?"
"Sure." He picked up his hat.
"And I'll see about a plane for
morning." He started for the door.
Art—" He came back to the
aide of the bed. "I can't thank you
enough for everything you've done.
But I must pay for the damages
to your car."
"Nonsense. It was insured. And
the little cut on my head is some-
thing to remember a lovely girl by
when I turn her over to the man
she loves,"
Honey smiled and there was hap-
piness shining in the depths of her
blue eyes.
There was eo news in the paper
about the district attorney so Honey
had to wait until she arrived by
plane in Los Angeles to learn any-
thing about Dan Brewster.

airport and carried her to the hos-
pital, despite Honey's insistence that
she felt well enough to ride in a
taxi. But Art overruled her objec-
tions. He was a masterful person
in his quiet sort of way.
"They can't put me to bed," she
told Art firmly as the ambulance
made its way through the heavy
traffic. "I am going to lite hospital
for another reason,"
And she stubbornly refused to be
placed in a room when they arrived.
"'sYhen I have seen Mr. Brew-
ster I'll go to bed, and not before."
she said emphatically, her blue eves
snapping. "Please take ale to kiln."
"He is not having company,' the
head nurse told her for the sixth
consecutive time. "lou cannot see
him,'
• * 5
"I will see him. i have to." she
insisted.
"Official orders," the nurse re-
plied briefly.
Art interveneu then, "Let them
take you to a room, Honey. I'll
see the right persons and fix it for
you. It will save time,"
Tears swam in her eyes, but she
permitted herself to be hauled
away. She was very angry and did
not mind letting her attendants
know it. Nothing they did for her
was right.
Honey scowled at the nurse at-
tending her. Then she brightened.
She decided to try another ap-
proach .to get what she wanted.
After all, she retnembered From
past experiences, smiles were more
effective than words.
"I know I'm being terrible. Please
forgive nee," Site gave the girl her
most charming smile and the nurse
could not resist and smiled back at
her. "Do you know Dir. Brewster?"
"He's in No. 240," the nurse said
innocently. "He's doing nicely. He
has been rational since yesterday
morning but he won't talk about
what happened to him, except to
say he was bit over the head with
something. Everybody thinks he is
worrying about the affair. He looks
so sad all the time and never smiles.
He doesn't even put forth any effort
to get well."

Honey turned her face so the
nuise could not see her eyes. "1
wont need you for a while. I am
all right now,"
Shortly, the girl left her alone.
Honey repeated "240,' and slipped
from her bed, She was careful of
her wounded shoulder as she walked
slowly to the door. The hall was
deserted at the moment so she
turned down it in search of the
number she wanted, It was not
far from her room,

"What ant 1 to do with my fiance,
Anne ]-Iirst?" asks a distraught
young man, "She keeps postponing
our marriage because she feels she
has to help her
married sister.
That sister has
three daughters,
and sly girl has
been contribut-
ing part of Iter
salary to them
for y c a^r s
(\T'e'es been
> r` engaged f o r
seven.) Recently when one daughter
graduated, she gave her a' good
watch (1 helped pay for it) and
site keeps on providing luxuries they
otlurwise wouldn't have. t grow
impatient."
It seems that the mother of these
daughters does not approve of the
situt,tion. She wants her sister to
marry. And she feels her girls
would be better off without so
hutch indulgeucc.
"Last year, for instance," contin-
ues the young man, "1 had a chance
to get a car. I wanted a roadster
just for us two, but it ended in
my buying a sedan so we could
take iter fancily driving with usl"

Modern Etiquette
by Roberti, Lee
Q. When one hes been presented
to a group of eight or tett persons
and is taking leave, is it necessary to
bid each one of them "good -kyr"?
A.,No; a cordial "good-bye", in-
cluding the entire group, is all that
is necessary.
Q. When the bridegroom is
wealthy, and the bride's family is
not, wouldn't it be all right for the
bridegroom to defray the wedding
expenses?
A. No; the bride's family must do
this, even if it must be a very simple
wedding,
Q. When the dessert plates are
brought to the table, should they be
placed on other plates or on the
tablecloth.
A, They should be placed on the
tablecloth; other plates are not
necessary.
Q, Should business letterheads
ever he toed for social correspond-
once?
A, Never.
Q, Is it proper for a hostess to
keep eating as long as her guests do?
A. lies; the hostess should notice
if her guests arc slow in eating, and
should manage her own food to that
sire finishes eating about the same
time they vie

Mistakes Some
People Made
1 bought a "bargain" farm, Since
1 knelt nothing about farming, it
sotindegf dirt cheap to me, But when
1 finisled remodeling the old house,
and still hall a barn to build and
land that had to be fed before it
would produce, I now know It
would have been cheaper to have
bought a good farm especially since
1 had the money,
D. j. T.
Buying a home after only a su-
•perficial examination was our cost-
liest mistalte, New wallpaper and
paint covered such common de-
preciation as leaky roof, rotting
woodwork around the kitchen sink,
and decaying foundation. After in-
vesting all our money in the house,
we were unable to maks these need-
ed repairs, N. D. M.
Neglecting my daughter's teeth
was my worst mistake. I put off
taking her to the dentist in her
early childhood, and now she is 20
and is already wearing false teeth!
Mrs. J. M.
I felt I could spare neither the
time nor the expense to terrace nay
good farm, Now I am old, and it
is sad to look at ditches and gullies
on land that once grew fine cotton, .
J. G. S.
T carelessly burned trash tog
close to our car, forgcttiug that 4
car contains gasoline, 5, L, J,
Not lceeping up the buildings on
our fares when they began weak•
ening was my biggest mistake, The
result is that now all buildings need
repair at Duce, attd the expense ie
too great to have it done, Z. V. G.
We should have set out many
more fruit trees and grapes than
we did, when we moved to our
new farm, We have been here IS
years, and stili do not have an ade-
quate orchard. J. R. A.
I put off buying farm equipment,
depending on the promise of neigh.
bons ,to lend me equipment to plow,
gather grain, lespedeza, press play,
etc. But just when I needed it most
they were using it. I lost enough
to have bought the machinery I
needed, M. M. A,
Parson's Poser
The vicar was addressing the Sun-
day school children. After. several
minutes he asked: "And now is
there any boy or girl who would like
to ask me a question?"
For a moment there was silence
and then a shrill voice piped out:
"Please, sir, why did the angels
walk up and down Jaeob's ladder
when they had wings?"
"Ah, I see," said the vicar. "Now
would any boy or girl like to answer
that question?"
