TO MOT IN in ill its KKClln: Mill VOV IS WKAKNKHB\u25a0 The men mupt have dawdled, little book, for all I was the first

out of the liath house. There was only one life-Haver on duty, as Itwan late in the afternoon and there were very few bathers.

1 sat down on the sand and for a moment my mind went blank.It seemed bo strange that this should come to me. Suddenly 1 re-membered what a newspaper writer had told me once of a man whowas stricken with tuberculosis, a man who presumably had splendidhealth and much wealth. "He seemed no surprised that this shouldcome to him." remarked the newspaper man. "I cannot understandwhy of all men he Khould be stricken with this terrible scourge."

This little conversation, long ago forgotten, came to me as Ithought. "Why should I be singled out to play a part in a domestictragedy? Is this the kind of thins that came to Eleanor Kairlow andto Alice and the others? Am I, Margie Waveily, who has alwaysr.een so arorgantly virtuous, just like the others? Did they giveencouragement unconsciously as I hare done? Was it wrong for me,married »> Dick, to accept the comfort and content that the lettersand companionship of another man gave ma?

Was I weaker than other women?Were there other women In the world so fine and strong who,

when neglected by their husbands and confronted with the knowledgethat other women were enjoying the caresses and love that should betheirs, would still have the firmness of character to repulse whatseemed to them a perfectly sincere proffer of friendship from anotherman?

"Are you going to be like 'daughter' ami not go near the water,Margie?" asked Malcolm as he stood beside me.

Truly he was good to look at as he stood there, his swimming•uit revealing his legs and arms tanned the color of bronze.

"I am waiting for Dick," I Bald. %"That's it, Margie, you have all your married life Just been wait-

ing for Dick. Why wait for him now? Look out there —the cooJwater beckons, come! I'll take you 'way out there beyond thebreakers where It is calm and tool— where the water will lave yoursoul as wejl as your body—come!"

"No Malcolm, I must wait for Dick." For just one moment Isaw an uncertain look in Malcolm Stuart's eyes. For just one mo-ment he lost his air of confidence in the future —in me. And thenhe answered, "Yes, wait for Dick for the last time, dear. After to-morrow there will be no waiting for you or me, for we will be to-gether."

He ran lightly down the sands and his form silhouetted againstthe sky still had the lines of youth. I saw him finally dive under agigantic breaker and then discovered his head bobbing up beyond.

Presently Dick stood beside me—Dick, grown a little heavier, alittle flabbier than I had ever noticed before. Ills arms and legswere white, for Dick had had no time this summer to accumulate acoat of tan. •

"Aren't you going in?" was his question."I was waiting for you," I said."Stuart come out yet?""Yes, he is out there heyond the float. I think he is going to

swim around the pier. It Is his favorite stunt.""Well, he has nothing to do but keep himself in condition," said

Dick with a sigh."Ilow is the business going, Dick?" I asked."All right, as far as I can see. But 1 don't like a waiting game.

There is too much at stake. Sometimes, Margie, I can see how men,harassed by business cares, end it all."

"Dick, don't lose your courage now.""I won't —that was a silly thing to say and I didn't mean it.

Well, oome on, Margie."I took his band and we went to meet the breakers together. But

before I got beyond my depth, I said, "You ro and take your swim,Dick. I don't foel quite up to the fatigue of it today."

"Allright, Margie. " Then, little book, Dick did a most surpris-ing thing. He put his arms about me out there in the water up tocur armpits and held me for a moment tight.

Then lie struck out with a laugh almost as carefree, it seemed tome, as that of the old Dick In the years gone by. I saw him, too,(live into a great breaker. I watched him a few minutes and startedin shore.

Presently I saw signs of excitement on the sands and turned tosee what was going on. I saw a head bobbing about near the float.I looked anxiously around, and far out I caught a glimpse of franticarms signaling above the waves for help.

ANSWERSBY CYNTHIA QREY

Dear Miss Grey: "A Read-er" ask ;, why the workingclass is always asked orforced to do all the fightingin time of war, and adds thatthis is a "war of commercial-ism."'

If"AReader" had followedwith really sincere attentionthe origin, course and con-duct of this war, he wouldhave learned that the sons ofthe rich and titled families inEngland were the first to vol-unteer, and that these wereto a great extent exterminat-ed before conscription wasadopted. He probably doesnot know that in France uni-versal military service oh-tains, aud that all, rich andpoor, bourgeois and proletar-ian, fight side by side.

He might have noted thatthe young volunteers whowant from America to fightin the ranks of the Britishand French armies and toserve as ambulance workers,aviators, etc., were at leastlargely from what "A Read-er" would probably term the"capitalist class." Many ofthese have fallen (amongthem the glorious youngpoet, Allan Seegar), for whatthey believed to be the caueeof world-freedom.

"Commercialism" is thevery smallest issue in thisparticular war. It is purely awar Initiated by the rulingcaste of Germany to strength-en its dominance over thatcountry and to extend thesame throughout the world.To this end, ilmt ruling cast*has risked and lost Germantrade supremacy—so littlewas "commercialism" theconsideration.

Women that onoe, at.least, they were "Heady.""Young man," said a waggish male relative to a

The day President Wilson read his war message to congress, amillion women—twio* the number of men the president asked for—were pledged Tor service to the country through their variousorganizations.

Thousands of them were organized on a war basis, listed andcatalogued with street and telephone number available, and theexact variety of service or equipment they could offer Indicated.

At Columbia university alone there are over 7,000 woman grad-uates and resident students thus catalogued. And that list In-cludes not oirty women who can give part time to cook or sew; butskilled workers willing to give all their timiv Among them arewoman physicians and nurses, woman ambulance drivers and dis-patch carriers, motor cyclists and wireless operators, typists andgardeners and camp cooks.

Then too the list includes offers of motor boats and automo-biles, garden plots and small farms, as well as typewriters and sew-ing machines which the owners, women all of them, have been readyfor weeks to put at the nervice of the country in case they are needed.

And this mobilization of forces is typical of hundreds of similarorganizations all over the country.

One organization of women is going to specialize on truck gar*dening to swell the food supply; another has formed a rantcen, andpractically all who are enrolling women for services are puttingtheir members in touch with ways and means of securing the specialtraining that will make them useful in case of need.

This time, then, when the call comes the reply that will floatacross the country from coast to coast will be, not "Coming in aMinute," but the voices of a million women with the cheerful answer' RKAUY!"
