To become engaged to your new friend would be another matter. You well might hesitate to pledge your life to him while you feel a reasonable doubt of your love, But you are not pledging love. You are merely agreeing to ac- him as a closer, more inti- wronging either the new attachment, far wise and kind by & friendship that well. t you are after all not so con- genial as You thought and hoped.

When C came ut to the car, A asked B to please be kind enough to take the rear seat as A wished to discuss some professional mat- ters with C. B is now offended at A for being asked to do this.

There are many times when we must combine a pleas- (ure with a professional talk, and A was perfectly within his or her social rights in doing this. Evi- dently A was courteous in ex- plaining the situation to B, and B should have accepted with an equal courtesy. B was socially narrow-minded amd provincial, and showed that he or she is not used to a generous adaptation to the wishes of other people.

Of course, in dll cases of death the heart "fails" in the sense that it finally ceases to beat: but in' "heart failure" the arrest of the heart action is the first ng to happen. thi But heart failure does not hap: ~ pen out of a clear sky; it is always the result of some previ- ous trouble with the heart. In probably the majority of in- stances, especially in previously unsuspected eases, the preceding trouble in the 'heart comsists of softening and weakening of the heart muscle as the result of poison absorbed from some cen- ter or focus of infection, such as diseased tonsils, abscessed teeth and displaced and toxic intes- tines. In this class of cases the chief A PRICELESS ~BEQUEST t----By Lucy Lowell HAT heritage are YOU Ww going to leave YOUR { children? Mrs. Lydia Harding who died n New York City recently, he queathed a sizable fortune to her three children. But her will, which was more like a beautiful expression of ex- quisite womanhood than a legal document, laid no special stress upon the money she left. The main legacy and the one she wished her children to value was love! Love that came into being when the first tiny form lay in her arms. Love that grew with the years, as her children grew, . surrounding them wherever they went, whatever they did. Love that understqpd and anticipated and forgave and triumphed. Love which, for the sake of the loved ones, reached into the si- lence beyond the grave and found union there for them all. This is what she wrote: "I wont be separated from you, dear children. I'll just be closer to God and will understand bet- ter the ways In which my prayers and faith can open ways through which God can help you. "Think of me as alive--alive beyond your farthest thoughts and near and loving you and well at last, free as the wings of Heaven!"

Dr. G. A. Allan, of Glasgow, Scotland, has made a study of the preceding symptoms in 320 cases of death from heart failure. The most frequent singie symp- tom complained of was shortness of breath; vext in order came pain in the heart, palpitation; ex- haustion, cough, bleeding from the lungs, giddiness, faintness. Dropsy had preceded death in 125 cases. Disease of the valves of the heart occurred almost twice as often as disease of the muscle of the heart. This seeming contradiction of my finding, as given above, comes from the fact that my observa tion was restricted to cases in which organic disease of the heart was not previously sus: pected, while Dr. Allan's cases sembraced all classes, many of them being chronic in character. ' The presumption of a weak heart tending toward failure is greatest in victims of rheuma- tism; next in syphilitics and third in kidney disease. These facts are given to place | you on guard as to the possible existence within you of conditions | that may threaten you with heart failure. - In presence of any of the symp- toms or conditions just enum- erated, by ail means go-to your physician for a careful examina tion.

"Feature Syndicate. Ine. I am twenty-five, About eight years ago I met a young man who became a friend of my family. Later on I married a good- looking man, but I didn't love him. My husband was very kind to me, but he couldn't in- spire me with the love for which I hungered. A year later the other man told me he had loved me since the first day he met me. Although I wasnt very lov ing to my husband, I was a faithful wife. I made my friend promise not to spoil our friendship and ruin three lives: by speaking so. Since then, however, I've been everything to that man-- sweetheart, sister and mother. All this has been a secret. I've been a hypocrite.
