Carl stared back. and then
smiled. "Stan. you are some lucky
chap. Why the queenliest girl in
the house should invite you to go
with her to.‘ the girl's party is be-
yond me, when there's myself and
a dozen handsome fellows she
might have asked!" ~
Stanley looked again at the in-
vitation. It told him that. the
girls in the boarding house next
to his were to give a party. and
that Miss Betty Hat-groan was in-
vitiug him as her guest. Why
should she ask him when she could
have had the pick of the men in
his house? Then there was Alan

her considerable attention.
"By Jove, there is some mystery
in this, Carl. I must be the seat
for something or other." Stanlex
ventured. ~
Carl laughed. than drew sober.
"Now look here. old chap. You
are darned homely and you haven’t
much of a way with the ladies. but
you’re gold all the way through.
'and don't forget it. You" accept
that invitation, and hold up your

So it came about that a much
puzzled but “game" Stanley fo'und
himself escorting the girl whom
he had admired at a distance to a
gay good time at her invitation.
She accepted him quite frankly.
and he was not an awkward a com~
panion as he fully expected toilbe.
She had a gay, friendly way of
chatting with him that relieved
him of most of the conversation.
As the evening wore on. he mar-
veled more. It seemed strange to
him. as he saw her about the
rooms, the leading spirit among
the girls. her dark. radiant beauty
standing out vividly. that he was
really with her: ‘
Carl gave him a nudge as he
went by. "Get into the game, old
man. Gather ye rosebuds while
ye wayuye know."
So Stabley "got into the game."
He danced with her. her dark head
against his shoulder. her firm’.
slight body moving in time with
his to the music.
Theouly annoying feature of
the evening was the attitude of
Richards. He came up to Stanley
in» the smoking room. a grin on his
handsome. masked face.
"So Betty picked you from the
bunch. eh?" He laughed.
Stanley felt his face color. and
as usual under insinuations he
could not think of anything to say.
but Carl standing by” said mean-
ingly: t'Sbe might have made a
worse choice. Alan!” .
"Bah! She had a reasons-sud
I happen to know what it was!"
he retorted. .
The music cut short the conver-
sation, but the upshot of it was
that Stanley. under the smart of
Richards' sneer. later, when he
left Betty at the door asked her if
she would go to the theater the
next evening with him. She hesi-
tated. and then agreed.
"That's the stuff. Stan.” Cari
said when informed of the agree-
ment. “That nigger under the
wood pile is still there. but keep
at it until you find out."
Stanley did. The evening at
theater was the beginning of other
evenings. The only tragic thing
was What Stsuley came to realize
—that he was falling head over
heels in love with her.
Carl sensed it. and one day he
said quietly: "Old man. you are
worthy of any girl who ever trod
the earth, but don’t get. in too
deep. She’s a wonderful girl. but
———well. I have a. hunch that she
isijust trying to be—decent to
you."
Stanley thought of the happy
hours with her. of her nick will-
ingness to go with im new.
thtwss her real motive?
l
Carl found out. His face I. lit-
tle pale, he told the isle. "Stan.
you are the goat. Betty told
Maude. and Maude told me that
she's been going with you to get
bothering her to death. Maude
said that Betty thought there
would be no chance of your get-
ting serious and starting talk.
There you hava it, old fellow.
You might as well face it."
Stanley reached for his but.
”That's it. is it? Ailith choice to
keep somebody else from bother-
ing her. I can't believe it!" His
voice quieted. "I'm going to find
out!"
And he stood. a, few minutes
later, in her reception room.
When Betty came. and he told
her. he saw the roses fade I. bit in
her cheeks. and at the and of his
story she nodded. and said gently:
“It's true. Stan. I had to‘ get
rid of Richards, and you—you
seemed so—-" -
“I know.” he added quietly.
"Let's forget it. I have had some
happy times with you. and I thank
you—" He stepped to the door.
Firm round arms caught him.
He turned in surprise to look into
dark eyes. a bit misty. “0h, Stan.
it was that way at first. but—but
—oh. can't you see—it’s not now
”not now!"
He caught her in his arms.
"You mean——you——"
She drew his head down. “Yes.
Ihave—just simply learned to love
you. I know you'll be good and

EVANGELINE
an very essence of poetry is ' est American feminine mm. which
‘ captured -snd‘-luld imprisoned
'in the name Evangeline. The
legend of that~bennti I‘snd‘un-
happy maiden whose fateful new
derisgs wereimmortnlised by Long-
fellow surrounds the name with
nomance and channbo'yond another

Evangeline is derived_from the
Greek and signifies engeldike. It
also has the- translation "hIDW

Greek 'word meaning weilphappy.

Iiivangelus. bearer of good tidings.
The term' applied originallyto'a.
shepherd who brought to Ephesus
the tidings of a quarry of beautiful
marble for the building of the torn-
‘ple that‘was the glory of the city
and of Asia. Adored with heroic
honors as he was. the title must
have seemed to the Ephoslan Chris-
tians to fit those spiritual shepherds
who brought the best of tidings and
Evangelista became the term for
preachers. . .
Evangelism was an old Italian
name and Longfellow seems to have
borrowed it and invented his Evan-
geline purely for use in his‘ poem.
it is from his adoption that all the
'Amer‘ican Evangelines‘ are derived,
so it may perhaps be called the pur—
we have. Certainly Longfellow has
described an ideal American Kiri:
"Fair was she to behold. that maiden
of seventeen summers;
Black were her eyes as the berry
that. grows on the thorn by the
way-side.
Black. yet how softly they gleamed
beneath the brown shade of her
tressesi
breath of the kins that feed in
the meadows,
When in the harvest heat she bore
'to the reapors st noon-tide
muons‘of home-brewed ale. Ah.
fair in south was the maiden.
When she had passed it seemed like
the ceasing of exquisite music."
Evangeline's. talismanlc gem is
the ruby. that warm pulsing stone
which is said to be.an eliiir of
Brent potency for the wearer. Its
medicinal qualities were held in
great-esteem by the ancients and
from it the portion known as “ruby

QUILTED CALICO
There is a. vogue for quilted
calico cushions. They are used on
furniture of the early American
period—that substantial, restful
furniture of maple that is enjoying
such vogue at present. They are
likewise used on the most modern
of rotten chairs—rattan chairs
from the Orient. long. well-curved
lounge chairs to which the thin
padding of quilted calico adds just
the requisite touch’of softness.
If you happen to have an old
quilted petticoat in the attic that'
belonged to some ancestral lady—or
if you happen to be able to get hold -
of a. quilted piece of calico from
some French peasant's cottage, well
and good. But most of us can't find
bits of ancient quilted calico just
for the looking. We must find i
substitute.
The substitute. of course, is the
piece of modern printed stuff. com-
ing an ancient design of little flow-
ers, padded and quilted like the old
pieces. This is quite as effective.
of course. and one feels, gulltily, a

Common Errors in English. and
How to Avoid Them.

“BALANCE" AN D “REMAINDER’
. LTHOUGH grammarlsns writ- .-
ing in recent years say that
the use of "balancd' in the
sense of "rest" or "remainder" is
now used so frequently that it may
be said to have become a part of the
language. they agree in asserting
that a distinction should be made
between "balance" and "remainder."
In this as in many other cases,
everyone must cit-operate if the
purity of the English language is to
be preserved.
A “balance? is the amount that
must be added to or subtract from
one side of an account to make the
'two sides agree; the word should
not be employed to” indicate the
amount or the numbfi left after a
part isntaken away. When it. is
necessary to express the latter
meaning say "remainder" or “rest."
For example; do not any, “I ate half
of the apple this morning. and ex-
pect talent" the balance this after--
neqnfi’, .Use "remainder" or "rest."

radio programs are disturbed
much less frequently by code
then they used to be? ' '
For this you may thank the or-
ganized efforts that are being made
throughout the country to rid the
air of this most troublesome form
of interference. .
In the effort to increase the pleas-
ure of broadcast listeners, the U. 5.
Navy especially has been active.
During theglast $59?! more than [lye
per cent of the old ship spark sets
have been replaced by tube sets,
and practically all new ships are
equipped with tube transmitters.
Orders have gone out to com-
mandants of all naval‘distrlcts to
conduct reception tests in their dis~
tricts to find out whether naval arcs
and sparks are causing interference.
HAVE you noticed that your:
Radio fans. too. have been active
in the effort to clear the ether of
dots and dashes. as‘well as interfer-
ence from high-power lines and
similar sources. Only recently the
American Radio Association, the
national organization of listeners it),
sent a request to Postmaster Gen-
eral New that the Post Office De-
- partment get rid of obsolete spark
transmitting equipment on the U. 8.
mail boat President, which has been
causing a lot of disturbance in the
vicinity of New York harbor. The
association suggested that "if the
'Post Office Department cannot af-
ford to provide a. modern transmit~
ting apparatus for this mail boat.
several broadcast listeners stand
ready to contribute to a fund to pur-
chase the equipment and thus save
the programs from the bombarding
interference."
There is a surprising number of
fans, too, who. along with the ex-
perts, are devoting much thought
and study these days to the other
two members of the interference
trio-fading and static. The fasci-
neting opportunity of running down
these elusive pests is open to all. and
there is plenty of glory awaiting
him who finds the solution.
If you are bothered by body
capacity, keep the parts of the coil
or apparatus to which the grid or
plate is connected as far as possible
from the panel. The grid and plate
terminals are most sensitive to body
capacity effects.
-See that,the filament circuit is
properly grounded. If the variable
condenser is mounted on the panel.
connect the rotor plates to the
ground or filament side.
THE RADIO PRIMER
Oftoeraily Fact for Listeners
Tho Eluctrolytic Rectifier often is
used in radio for 'bharging storage
"13" batteries from the alternating
current of house lighting systems.
All storage batteries require direct
current for charging, and therefore
the lighting current must be recti-
fied before it can be used.
This type of rectifier is based on
the discovery. made nearly a. cen-
tury ago, that aluminum dipped in a
unit solution. allowed current to pass
in one direction but. not in another.
Later it was found that this prop-
erty was possessed also by ether
metals, though to a less extent.
For the cathode. or plate from
which the current leaves the liquid.
lead or steel are commonly used.
while aluminum is used as the
anode. or plate where the current
enters the liquid. .
In operation. a thin film of alumi-
num hydroxide seems to form on
the aluminum plate. allowing the
current to flow in one direction but
not in the other. unless a certain
critical voltage is passed, when the
film breaks down.
Although comparatively easy for
the amateur to. construct. electrolytic
:rcctirlcrs are not very efficient for
any but small currents.
