SHORT
STORY
Will and” the Will
By CORONA REMINGTON.
OUNG Will Powers put his hand
Y out towsrd the girl sitting be-
snin. him. then resolutely with-
drew it and jammed it into his
pocket. He had no right to show
Ann St. John how be felt becsuse he
could not marry her; yet she was so
near and lo. sweet end so—touchn-
ble. There was something exquisite-
ly dainty and childlike about the
so?! flimsy little tires. the wide-
open blue eyes. the quick more
merits.
"I‘ll hove to go. Ann.“ he said.
"So soon? It isn't lste yet."
There was genuine disappointment
in her voice. and his hesrt pimped;
she did love him. and he could win
her if only he had the chance.
If only he bed the chance!
If the deed could come back to
life. if wills could be broken. if he
had had another kind of father. If
-—if——ii‘—! As he waited along the
quiet street he went over all the de-
tails in his mind again. Why had
his father willed away everything
they had except the home md a
mere pittance—not nearly enough to
support himself and his mother?
Charity begins st home. and it did
seem that. having such an sltruistic
soul. he could hsve remembered his
own people first. If he had even
left him s little capitsl to get s
start. but on it was, it would be years
before he would be anything'but s.
salaried men—with not I very big
salary at that. It would be impossi-
ble to keep up another on his in-
cpme. not even in the very [klmptegt
way. And Ann deserved the best.
It vgss not her fsult. bless her door
little heart.
He felt bitter. bitter toward his
mother for being so dependent; bit-
ter toward his fsther for leaving
him in such s position. If he only
knew what wss best to do. Wes he
doing right to :0 taking up Ann's
time end (ttention since he could
not marry her? Should he drop her
or should he tell 'her the whole
thing? No. thst would be throwing
himself upon her mercy. He would
keep sway from her; but how easy
to say it snd’ how hard to do it!
How herd indeed!

csuse I couldn't wsit snother second

"But it's msde s men of you. wm.
I didn't think so much of you three
years 180."
“Thank hesven he did it. then;
but it’s been herd. end it's going to

With the inspirsfion of Ann's love
Will worked like s. Trojan for pro-

PLANNING THE BRIDGE
LI'NCHEON
ROILED spring chicken was
B the "piece de resistance" at
a. bridge luncheon I attended
the other day. Add to thst the
fsct that the luncheon was served
at the bridge tables sad that
there was the usual variety of sil-
ver knives almost always used by
American instead of steel blades.
and you will see why it was that
many of us became discouraged
end left most of the tempting
broiled chicken untested. Until
bridge tables become far more
substantial than they are now It
is better not to serve anything
that needs to be cut strenuously
ss does broiled chicken. Lamb
chops would have the same dis-
advantage.
It is for this reason thst caterers
usually suggest some sort of cro-
quette or cresnied meet in patty
shells when planning wedding re—
freshments, dsnce supper or bullet
luncheon that must be taken by
the guests standing.
Quite often s. hostess invites
cheese mixture, 3 simple little
mechanical device may be bought
that puts it in in ripples.
SO MANY h’f’l‘S!
FORTY-ONE million pounds of
slmonds seem to have been
consumed in this country in
the fiscal years 1923—01' at least
that many nuts were imported or
raised for home consumption. and
.every year some forty million
‘Brazil nuts are brought to this
country from South America. Italy.
Spain. Portugal and France send
us about twenty-three million
pounds of chestnuts every year.
and from ltsly and other southern
European countries fifteen mil-
lion pounds of iilbcrts were im-
ported in a. year—not counting
three und in. half million shelled
diberts that came from Spain
alone!
Pecans are raised in our own
country in large amounts and
English walnuts come from Chili,
Japan. China, Czecho Slovakia.
Italy. Frsnce—anywhere but
where their name would indicate.
to eke out the goodly crop that
we raise in California. A hundred
million pounds seems to be the
annual amount of this nut used in
this country.
But towering shove all the other
nuts is the peanut. beloved of good
Americans. Almost seven hundred
million peanuts are needed to sat-
isfy our prodigious craving for this
humble nut, which is reale not a.
nut at all in the sense that a wal-
nut or almond are nuts.
