When had the dullness entered her marriage? she wondered. When was it Charles began to take her for granted? Each day he came from work, gave her a peck on the cheek, ate his dinner, then retired to his. easy chair to read and watch television. Or, as was often the case, to drowse un til time for bed. Surely he was bored, too! She had certainly done her part. She went regularly to the beauty salon; she watched her weight; and she kept her mind active by reading the latest books and maga zines. But Charles seemed not to notice. She smiled reflectively. How dif ferent her life would be if she had married Edgar Somers. Although, she hadn’t seen Edgar in years, she could still remember his ten derness. Edgar was the reason she was in Chicago. Charles had come on business, and she had felt impelled to come along. She knew Edgar worked here, and the urge to see him had been too strong to ignore. She felt it was time to keep a nos talgic date with her past! An hour ago, she called Edgar on the phone,' and his voice had sent shivers up her back. Just those few words had made her feel like a girl again. And he had invited her to lunch, as she had known he would. Dear Edgar, always so dependable! Edgar recognized her first. “Leora, dear!” he exclaimed, pressing her hand. “You haven’t changed a bit! I would have known you anywhere. The same wonderful smile—the same even white teeth.” It was almost as if he had added, “Thank God!” How she wished it were all true. “I often think of the old days,” he went on. “Of the time I thought I was a poet. Most of the stuff I wrote was about you.” He stopped and laughed. “The girl with the Mellin’s Food teeth. She eats chocolate fudge and roast beef, I know ’cause I saw her^ And her name it’s Leora, The girl with the Mellin’s Food teeth.” Leora stared. Mellin’s Food, in deed! She hadn’t thought of that baby food in years! She had ex pected a sentimental ditty about the stars in her eyes. And all he could talk about was teeth. What had become of the tenderness? Of *he romantic love they had shared? All during lunch she felt uneasy. Edgar seemed to be watching for her to smile. Waiting to see those even white teeth, no doubt. Leora was glad when it was over and she was back in her hotel room. She had never been so disappoint ed in her life. When Charles came in, she looked at him critically. Maybe he wasn’t overburdened with en thusiasm, but at least he had a waistline and hair. And it was nice not to have to conceal things from him. She found it comfort ing, too, the way he took her for granted. Still her meeting with Edgar hung over her like a shad ow. ^ Later, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror and tried to see herself as she had looked to Ed gar, today. She smiled, gently at first, then wider until all her teeth showed. A wave of sadness shot through her. He had said she was unchanged, but it wasn’t true. She had changed terribly. Suddenly, with a gesture of im patience, she turned from the mirror. Why must women be so sentimental about the past? She and Charles had a fine, solid mar riage. But the sadness persisted, because she knew things could never be the same. And she sighed heavily as she took out her teeth and dropped them into a glass of water.

PLOW GIRL . . . GaU Orde, 13, is only girl competing in 43rd «»inini.l international plowing match at Toronto, Canada. It’s a 4-day event with 600 entrants. ! REMEMBER BY IKS OLD TIMERS From J. M. Rutland, Colorado Springs, Colo.; I remember when the -boys in the country school turned mice loose in the school room to scare the School Marm and it always worked. When people didn’t have to see the banker before they could drive old Dobbins out of the state. When an auto would average 15 miles an hour if nothing went wrong—but it usually did. When people bragged of how cheap they got their piano for cash instead of how many years they wheedled the merchant to wait for his pay. When the crowning event of the year for the community was the County Fair. Most everyone went every day and when it was over people thought they had had a wonderful vacation. When a farmer wanted to say something mean about his neigh bor, he would say, “He don’t get up until five o’clock.” When a rabbit hunt meant the hunter returned with a belt full of rabbits hanging by their hind legs. When a fishing trip meant moth er needed a large skillet for sev eral days. * * * From Nettie P. McCool, Dor chester Mass.: I remember my mother wove the carpet on our living room floor. We children used to tear up old rags and sew them together, winding them into large balls. My grandmother had looms for weaving them and moth er also wove cloth for men’s shirts. We had sheep and my fath er would sheat them and get the wool carded. I also remember my father plowing and haying with oxen. ^ REV. ROBERT H. HARPER Under the Juniper Do not despair of the present when you read in the papers or hear over the radio of many crimes. It was worse in the “good old days.” The wide dissemina tion of news makes the time seem worse than the past. And there are more people in the world now. So do not despair of the United States if a few delinquents do some dastardly thing. There are multiplied millions who are re specting the law. And why despair of the human race because a small number of men and women do the things that fill the papers with lurid things? Multiplied millions of our people have not robbed a bank or shed the blood of their fellows. These thoughts are suggested by an incident in the life of Elijah, the prophet of God in an evil time and in an evil land. When God found Elijah under a juniper tree and asked what he was doing there, the prophet replied that the enemies of the Lord had slain his prophets, overthrown his altars, and were seeking the life of Elijah to take it away. And the old proph et lamented that he alone was left to serve God. Then the Lord told Elijah there left 7000 fin Israel who had not bowed the knee to BoaL And there are mil lions on our land who have not betrayed their faith.
