Kathleen wag now laying, "I know 1 shouldn't have come knowing you're engaged to my litter, but but " "I'm slad vou did come. Mau reen," said Paul. "I've always liKed Molly s little suter. "Is liked" all?" "I'm fond of you, awfully fond of you Maureen. You should know that More lines alone that order. with Maureen trying to tell Jimmy that she was in love with him. and Jimmy, suspecting, and trying to change the subject It wasn t such a bad scene, Joe thought if only they didn't drag it out so long. His hands were wet with perspiration, and per spiration was running down his back. He could feel it trickling under his shirt Then, with a few little running steps, Kathleen was clinging to Paul. She was sobbing out her love. Her arms were clasped tightly about Paul's neck. It looked more like a stranglehold in a wrestling match than any thing else. Mr. Frank thought "I love you I love you I love ' you Jimmy darling! ' Kathleen was saying, in between sobs. "You mustn't say that, Maureen,- Paul said. "You mustn't!" Then sotto voce: "And for Pete's sake don't choke the life out of me." "Take me with vou. Jimmy! Please!" said Kathleen. And aside: "I'm not choking you. I'm trying not to cover your face, like vou said Rubv did. The word ''please'' was Ruby's cue. She came tripping in. - "I forgot my fan! she said. Then, seeing Kathleen in Paul's arms, she gasped. "Oh. so that's the way things are! My own little sister my own innocent lif-tle The words "husband - to - be' were Paul's cue. but he failed to take it Ruby, startled, repeated them. Paul, who was now staring out across the footlights, appeared to Be stone dear. "My own innocent little sister, kissing my husband-to-be!" said Ruby, this time so loud it round ed like a clarion call. Down Front DAUL Jumped. "It's no fault of hers, ha said. It she falls In love with me. is it?" At last he found his line. "She Is inno cent Molly. You must take good care of her, while I'm gone, and when this horrible war is over, I'll come back and take care of both of you." "Oh. Jimmy Jimmy," said Ruby, "forgive me! I didn't mean to suspect you, but" There was a sudden stop, as Ruby now looked out across the footlights. "But but I love someone else, Jimmy. I can't wait for you." "You vou what?" "I'm going to marry Peter Van Wert So when you come back, you must forget me and learn to love Maureen. "OhP said Kathleen. "Oh, Jimmy you will, won't you?" And then the curtain. Kathleen, spent, t r e m b 1 1 n started to run off the stage. But the applause called her back. The curtain went up. She took call after call, standing between Ruby and PauL Then, flnaUv, the cur tain stayed down, and Kathleen rushed off to her dressing room. Ruby and Paul faced each other upon the stage. "I suppose you saw who's sit ting down front as big as life!" said PauL "Yes. I saw said Ruby. "She looks well, doesn't she? But she pretty nearly ruined your scene." "Pretty nearly?" said Paul. "She did ruin it But what could I expect of a woman like Laura selfish, grasping " "Don't yell so," warned Ruby. They'll hear you out front." "Well, let them!" said Paul. He started oft, and then whirled about "Did you have anything to Gold Hill Gold Hill, June 13 (Spl.)

Local Boy Scouts who attended the do with Laura coming down here?" The idea, Paul!" protested Ruby. "What a thing to ask me. You don't think I'd deliberately do something to spoil our beauti ful play, do you?" . Paul watched Ruby's face close ly. "Sometimes I think you and every other woman living are quite capable of anything," he said. Then he stormed off to change for the third and last act There was shooting in the final scene and several dead extras lay around the stage, having fallen when the "damned Yank ees" fired upon the old home stead. Then when the curtain fell at last Paul and Ruby stood among the dead, safe in each other's arms, vowing to go on together, working to build up the waste that was their beloved Southland. "Innocent little sister Maureen", lay beneath the apple trees she had loved, the victim of a wild bullet . Shock For Kathleen A PPLAUSE, more generous than the play deserved, rang throughout the reconstructed oia barn. All the actors and actresses took bows, even Kathleen, who arose from beneath the apple trees to greet her compatriots. And the two lonely scouts who had been sent down to Linville to look things over, sneaked out holding their noses. "At first I thought It was the barn that smelled," said one of them. "Eut I was wrong it's the play." "And some of the acting," said the other. That local gal's easy to look at," said the first speaker, "but she ought to stick to high-school plays." "what practically killed me," said the second speaker, "was that plumpish girl Daisy Some-thing-or-other trying to talk with a Southern drawl." Joe and Mr. Frank overheard the conversation. They looked at each other. "I'm afraid I shall have to agree with them," said Uncle Frank. "I. too," said Joe. "I'm afraid the play's one-week run here in Kathleen's old barn will be its lifetime." He sighed. "Boy, what a heck of a time I'm going to have reviewing it without panning everything about it and everyone in it." "Except Ruby?" said Uncle Frank. "She wasn't so bad," said Joe. "But there was room for im provement." "You're right, son," said Uncle Frank. "I'm afraid Ruby's no Cornell either." "Should we go back to see Kathleen now?" said Joe. "I don't know," Uncle Frank replied. "I rather dread it" rSo do I." "Let's get a soda first" "Yes, let's." Back in her dressing room, Kathleen was hurrying out of hex costume and into her own cloth ing. She had the fceli. g that she hadn't done as well as she should have, and yet there had been ap plause. Perhaps she was too critical of herself. Someone ought to know. Fred, perhaps. She fin ished dressing, and hurried out It was when she was going out through the stage entrance that a perfectly strange young woman stopped her. . "How do you do?" the woman said. "How do you do? Kathleen re sponded, "were you looking for someone?" Yes, I was looking for you. My name is Pennell." "Oh." said Kathleen. "How nice! You must be Paul's sister." Mrs. Pennell, said the wo man. Tm Pauls wife not his sister." Kathleen went weak. She had the feeling that her limbs were made of rubber bands. Paul's wife! Then she remembered that she wanted to be an actress, and struggled to get hold of her poise.

Mrs. Guttersen. who started her unique project In connection with a church society, says that the material for the handkerchiefs is becoming increasingly difficult to procure. She says she hopes her story will start other women doing this service, and that the government will "see to it that we can buy the material."
