she hastened for sympathy.
“Truly, Helen, I’ll not stand being
prompted hy a lot of romantic Janes.
I’ve finished with th» club.”
“Oh, Em, how can you?” pacified the
less radical Helen. “Don't cut loose
from a Jolly bunch of girls without a
fully sensible excuse.”
“Excuse? But I have every reason
to do so. No self-respecting human
can stand for this continual rehearsal
of Phil Allen’s virtues and suggestion»
as to the part I should play In the
farewell affair they plan to Inflict upon
him. I’ve a notion to duck down to
the cottage till the festivities are at
an end.”
“You’ll do no such thing,” scored
Helen. “The girls are right and you
are right In your own way. Era. They
all think worlds of yourself and Phil,
and, knowing how worth while Phil
Is, they think It’s a decided pity that
you don’t reciprocate his attentions.”
“Well, ns a match-making agency

“I’d like to be *non-plus’ at the par
ty, but ’twould be terribly conspicu
ous, I suppose.”
The much heralded event was sn
unqualified success. The old bunch all
met to give the khakl-clad youth a
rousing send-off. Emily, too, attended,
hut aeemed to be less her own cheer
fully Impersonal self.
Determined to disappoint the match
makers, Emily had studiously avoided
the guest of honor, except Jo allow
him two dances at the conclusion of
which the soldier asked for and re
ceived her promise to write the home
news frequently.
“Tell you what, Em,” said Phil, “a
letter from home changes the outlook
on everything. In the same way the
promise of the only little girl To await
your return makes the fight one well
worth fighting. Changed your mind
any tn that regard?"
"Phil, this Is all war-hysteria on your
part. Everyone seems to think it’s a
necessary part of the war program. I
can’t be convinced that thia signing
up while the spirit of patriotism moves
you Is for the best Interests of the
parties concerned. Your war expe
rience will make a bigger, more won
derful man of you. You’ll come back
with changed Ideals. For me, there’ll
never be any other. I admit; but I In
sist that you wait to see If I, as your
Ideal today, will be that of your Ideal
tomorrow."
“A lot of bunk. Em. You’re a dyed-
in-the-wool Idealist. Be practical, do,
when you know that the happiness of
both of us Is at stake.”
Argument proved futile. Phil had to
resign hlinself with the promise of
having a regular correspondent. Un
cle Karn’s carriers did their share. Al
ways good pals, with much In common,
their letters were of bulky propor
tions. The feeling of eager expectancy
of mall deliveries was a mutual one.
Emily’s missives were cheery and
Impersonally breezy. Phil’s tended to
wax warmer, and contained numerous
allusions to the Invincible bachelor
maid. Mention was made of acquain
tances made In the social life of the
camp; maids from neighboring towns,
etc. Always was their cordlaj spirit
emphnnized nnd the point made that
they did not radiate any of the frigid
atmospherical chills of a certain north
ern miss. All of which Emily read
with an air of amused tolerance.
The day came, however, when this,
which Emily had termed silly senti
mentality, was a negative quantity.
The letters were Interesting and
breezy, but as Impersonal as her own.
Emily was a surprise to herself.
Who’d ever expect that she would mis»
the old letters so? A youthfully Con
ceited remark of a younger brother as
to "men b«*lng a scarce dainty these
days” reminded her that Phil probably
had met many admlrera.
Even the remark that her letters
“truly put the sure In pleasure.” and
similar comments, fnlled to convince
Emily of Phil’s Interest. Every letter
seemed strangely more frigid than the
last, till Emily decided that they were
the products of a camp refrigerator.
Strange, she thought, that as Phil
grew Indifferent she became propor
tionately Interested. She was heart
less and unpatriotic In the extreme,
she reasoned. Never, however, would
she pretend to complain, for she had
been* wholly to blame herself. •
But every cloud has a silver lining,
and when this particularly dark cloud
of Emily’s turned Inside out It shook
from Its folds an unassuming little let

thusly:
