"I am 29," writes Caroline, "healthy, tall, slender, smart, and without any real fault of feature. My mirror shows me a good straight nose, good eyes, plenty of brown hair, perfect teeth--my best feature--dull skin and an expression that evidently suggests 'Keep Off.' "I was the only daughter of a bank-commissioner father and. a very fine mother. When I was nine rny father was convicted of dishonest dealiilg; this was not true, as we afterward proved, but it ruined my father. He served a sevenmonth term, after which we three rhoved into the mountains, and lived an isolated life for ten years. I had no friend except my mother. "My father's name was cleared just before he died. He had planned often to come back and try to begin again, but there was no time. After his death, helped by the old friend who had fought my father's cause for ten years, my mother and I came ttf the city and I studied bookkeeping and stenography. We had very little money; we lived in one room and cooked our meals there. When I began to earn money every extra dollar meant a treat, or the .wpnderful feeling of paying off bills ;, we two were sufficient to ourselves. ^Mother Became 111. Four years ago my mother developed an incurable malady. Turning to the "friend who had saved us once before I borrowed enough money to take her to the woods she loved for the remaining ten months of her life. "Since thed I have plugged away in gradually improving jobs; I now make $1,800 a year, live comfortably, and have a few good woman friends. Also I think I ought^to tell yon that two men, both married, have expressed affection for me. One is the friend of whom I have spoken. After my mother's death he told me quietly that anything he could do for me was a pleasure to him, because he had always felt a strong affection for me. "His wife- -and X are friendly, although I don't see either of them often. She has two children by a former marriage and is wrapped up in them. /. "The other man is an army captain. He was stationed here without his wife, who is an invalid. These circumstances made me feel that I am11 not-without .attraction for men, but the truth is that few of them seem to know that I am alive. Seriously,* I know I would nev«?r have the courage to wear a button announcing my marriage-hungry sta.t<? to the world, but is there some lesser device that ycu coi^ld devise? I want a home;. I want children; I warft someone to love and spoil. How to go about finding them?" Must Net Be Impatient. . Caroline, you are only 29, and the ,tragic story of your life accounts for your being far behind most women of your age in opportunity. You had no girlhood, no school friends with whom to form natural social affiliations. Those were years of exile and sh^me for you in the most sensitive period' of your' life. Your .'atiier's sorrowful death, just after \ The Phelps-Stokes - Fund, founded for the development ' of ^th^ Negro people in America and in Africa, and the recent Church Conference on Afri^ n Affairs, held in Westerville, Ohio, have both concluded that the post-war welfare of the African continent demoands an extension of the, "mandate sysjt^m" b$ which several large areas are. now administered by European governments. To present mandate processes they would add an "international inspection" by some international body such as thr League of Nations. "I hope," sSys Canon Anson Phelps Stokes, president of the Fund, "that the • United States w^T! 10 operate jsctively in any revived ov new association of nations which mav be established, and that it tpay be willing. to share with European and other powers some degree of r^snohsibilitv for the development of Africa in the interest of the African peop|e.

Now for the first time you are free to make your own friends and find your own place, and you must not be impatient if it takes a little time. Look about you, not for the attractive, popular men of just the right age, position, income to make ideal, husbands, but for some soul perhaps as lonely as yourself, with as unusual a story, and be a good friend to him before you expect him to be one to you. One way to find him is through church circles, or language or study clubs.
