VALUABLE COURSES IBE !
OFFERED Y. W. C. ft GIRLS
Courses in Telegraphy, Stenog
raphy and Book-Keeping, and
Millinery Soon to Open.
The Youiik Women's Christian as
sociation is offerinK three specific
courses of training for younK women
of Charlotte and vicinity who wish
to fit themselves fur a vocation or
profession. Kacli uf the three course
offered is the same that is given tn
the schools which make a specialty
of training young women for bui
ness careers, but are at a much lower
cost.
The class in telcmaphv which will
probably begin wmk August first, is
to be without cost to the individual,
the only requirement being a guar
antee of good faith with th Western
Union Telegraph company, which will
conduct the classes fiee of charge and
will in turn, expect the students tak
ing the course, to accept positions in
the event they may be offered theiu.
A course in t pevvnr.ng and book
keeping is now offered by the V. W.
C. A- for practically half of what it
would cost the pupils to take at a
business college. There must be at
least twenty-five members enrolled in
this class, Immediately, if prospective
pupils are to benefit by this excep
tional opportunity. lliey must be
members of the V. W. (.'. A. If there
are noti-memliei s who want the
course they may take a membership
in the association which is only $1
a year and thus receive the special
advantages offered by the associa
tion. Quite a number of inquiries
regarding the business course were
received at association headquarters
Tuesday.
The class in millinery which is
scheduled to begin Aum . lost, will
not be Inaugurated unless a sultleient
number are enrolled within the next
few days. This is not a new feature
for the Y. W. (.'. A. The class in
trade millinery has been previously
conducted with splendid success and
has hitherto been very popular. Miss
Lula llorton will be the instructor
again, which insures an up-to-date
series of lessons in the art of hat
making, from foundation to ti homing
and the making of trimmings. Those
who take this course are equipped
for the business, but a special course
of lessons will be given to others who
wish to make or trim hats for their
own pleasure.

The men must have dawdled, little book, for all I was the first out of the
bathhouse. There was only oi.e hfe-aver on duty as it was late in the after
noon and there were very few bathers.
I sat down on the .-an 1 ami for a moment my mind went blank. It
seemed so strange that this should come to me. Suddenly 1 remembered what
a newspaper writer had told me once of a man who was stricken with tuber
culosis, a man who presumably had splendid health and much wealth "lie
seemed so surprised that this should come to him," remarked this newspa
per man. "I cannot understand why of all men he should be stricken with
this terrible seouige."
This little conversation, long ago forgotten, came to me as I thought.
"Why should I be singled out to play a part in a domestic tragedy? Is this
the kind of thing that came to Kleanor 1'airlow and to Alice and the others?
Am 1, Margie Waverly. who has always been so arrogantly virtuous, just he
the others? Iid they give encouragement unconsciously as I have done?
Was it wrong for me. married to Dick, to accept the comfort and content that
the letters and companionship of another man gave me?
Was I weaker than other women?
Were there other women in the world so line and strong who. when
neglected by their husbands and confronted with the knowledge that other
women were enjoying the caies.-es and loe that should be theirs, would still
have the tii niness of cliar.o tei to repulse what si eine.t to them a perfectly
sincere proffer of friendship from another man.
"Are you going to be like 'daughter' and not gi
gie," asked Malcolm as he stood beside me.
Trulv he was good to look at as he stood there.
vealing his legs and aims tanned the' color of bronze.
"I am waiting for lick." 1 said.
"That's it, Margie, you have all your married life jut been waiting for
Dick. Why wait for hiin now? Look out there - the cool water beckons,
cornel I'll take you 'way out there beyond the breakers where it Is calm and
cool where the water will lave your soul as well as your body come."
"No Malcolm. I must wait for Dick." For ju.-t one moment I saw an un
certain look in Malcolm Stuart's eyes. For just one moment he lost his air
of confidence in the future in me. And then he answered. "Yes, wait for
Dick for the last time, dear. After tomorrow there will be no waiting for you
or me, for we will bo together. "
He ran lightly dow n the sands and hN foi in silhouetted against the sky
still had the lines of youth. 1 saw him tinalh dive under a gigantic breaker
and then discovered his head bobbing up beyond
Presently Dick stood beside nit Dick, grown a little heavier, a little flab
bier than I liad ever noticed before. His arms and legs were white, for Dick
had had no time this summer to accumulate a coat of tan.
"Aren't you going in .'" was his question.
"I was waiting for you," 1 said.
"Stuart come out yet?"
"Yes. he is out there beyond the float. I think he is going to swim around
the pier. It is his favorite stunt. '
"Well, he has nothing to do but keep himself in condition
with a sigh.
"How is the business golnjr, Dick?" I asked.
"All right, as far as 1 can see. Rut 1 don't like a waiting game. There
is too much at stake. Sometimes, Margie, I can see how men, harassed by
business cares, end it all."
"Dick, don't lose your courage now."
"I won't that was a silly thing to say and I didn't mean it. Well, come
on, Margie."
1 took his hand and we went to meet the breakers together. But before
I got beyond my depth, I said. "You go and take your swim, Dick. I don't
feel quite up to the fatigue of it today."
"All right. Margie," Then, little book, Dick did a most surprising thing.
He put his arms about me out there in the water up to our armpits and held
mo for a moment tight.
Then he struck out with a laugh almost as carefree. It seemed to me, as
that of the old Dick in the years gone by. I saw him, too, dive into a great
breaker. I watched him a few minutes and started in shore.
Presently I saw signs of excitement on the sands and turned to see what
was going on. I saw a head bobbing about n ear the tl" it. I looked anxiously
around, and far out I caught a glimpse of frantic arms signalling above the
waves for help.

Cherryville, .fuly if). The commu

by the chamber of roaimerce Is an
institution that is attracting and will
attract much attention, and at the
same time be of great service to the

' plant has. been built at considerable
expense and for the benefit of all who
i will use it. Kverythlng will be done
at actual cost and the committee in
charge is of opinion that the cost out-1
side of cans will be less than three!

: which go to. make up the cost of I

and thus reduces to a minimum the I

Do you realize the danger that lurks in impure,
unclean Ice Cream? If you do you will certainly see
to it that your children never eat ice cream unless you
know it is ood. Our Ice Cream is made from Biltmoro
Cream, received daily from the famous Vanderbilt Es
tate in the "Land of the Sky." It is pure, rich and whole
some. If you like really good Ice Cream you will tell
the children to always go to one of our fountains.
