time out from home parties tor
skiing trips into the western Cas
cades. The double holiday passed with
out incident in Bend, but, It was
generally agreed, Christmas was
just a bit quieter this year than
usual, probably due to the fact
that hundreds of young men and
boys are away from home. These
boys, it was recalled at many
home gatherings, observed Christ
mas in far parts of the world
some in tropic countries, others
close to the snowy arctic.
Services Well Attended

the holidays were well atteneded,
and in some cases the attendance
even exceeded that of last yar,
when Camp Abbot was still occu
pied. Midnight services Sunday at
thecatholic and Episcopal cnurcn

Not only was Christmas white
this year, but it was chilly, with a
maximum of only 29 degrees re

"It is, sir. A man named Brown.
He seems to do all the work on
the place. Jerry Sheldon, when
he's in the tavern and In his cups,

who had been absent-mindedly
picking a flower to pieces, got up
from his oencn in tne garden. As
he entered the common room Cap
tain Walling smiled and extended
his hand. ' -"Oliver,
you've become a strang
er, ne saia wun a laugn. "Har
vard seems, to have kept you
busy."- ' -
Aye, yaptaln, it did in fact,"
the young man said. "What with
the studies and duties a "man has
little time for much else."
"You're a graduate student, I
think. Is that so?"
"It is, sir. I graduated last year,
and since then I've been helping
out with the teaching. But that is
over now, and I'm back home
again."
Walling was well acquainted
with young Hlllman's father, who
owned one of the few paper mills
in the colonies. This mill was on
a stream of clear, fresh water a
few miles from Sudbury.
"Are you going to help your
father In his mill?"
"That is our intention, sir. I
know a deal about paper-making
already, and I shall go more deep
ly into It." This was said stiffly as
the young man sat upright in his
chair. There was then a pause for
a moment.
When the silence had become
rather thick Captain Walling said,
"Is there something that you wish
to speak to me about?"
"There is, sir," said young Hill-
man. Your daughter Harriet.
May I call on her and be her
I mean be friendly with her?"
This was uttered with blushing
and hesitation.
Captain Walling was pleased,
but he kept a solemn counte
nance. Young Hillman would be
an excellent suitor for his daugh
ter, and a most desirable son-in-law.-
After some reflection , he
said, "Have you spoken to Har
riet?" "I have, sir," the young man
replied. "Yesterday ,at Mistress
Faulkner's. She said she had no
objections, and then she said I
must ask you or her mother as
I expected to do."
"Very well, Oliver, I consent,
and I speak, too, for her mother."
"Thank you, sir."

BETTER VISION
GREATER PLEASURE
Good vision doesn't mean
merely a better score in a
bridge game, though that's
part of it. It means a more
enjoyable game cards seen
quickly and easily, both in
the hand and on the table.
It means coming home at
night fresh and unexhausted
without the headache and
tiredness that dog the home
going footsteps of those
whose eyes have had to
strain hard to see.
Safe seeing is the result of
good eyesight and good light.
Be sure you have both: eye
sight with any defect cor
rected; and good light on
every eye task. Better vision
means happier living

Oliver Hillman had known Har
riet Walling all his life. As chil
dren they had played together.
But she was now 17 and he was
19. Not only Puritan etiquette but
also Puritan law required that he
seek the consent of Harriet's par
ents before he became her beau.
Young women in the' Puritan
colonies did not accept the at
tentions of a number of beaux.
but this does not mean that the
girls were kept in a state of nun
like seclusion. They went to par
ties, to dinners and to other social
occasions and met the young men
of the neighborhood. For steady
company, however, the gallant
swain had to obtain the consent
of the girl's parents. Otherwise he
was likely to be brought up before
a magistrate for "inveigling" the
young woman's affections.
Walling rose and shook hands
with Oliver. "Come in any eve
ning, my lad, whenever you
please," he said gravely. "We
shall always be glad to see you "
