He had heard his mother speak of him, but At seventeen Dirk and Selina talked of the year to come. He was going to At Eighteen It Had Been Midwast University for Dirk. a university. - But to what university? And what did he want to study? We-e-ll, hard to say. Kind of a general course, wasn't there? "Oli, Selina liad said. "Yes. General. Gen-eral. Or course, If a person wanted to be an architect, why, I suppose Cornell Cor-nell would be the place.

Good idea, though, to take a kind of general course until you lound out exactly what you wanted to do. Languages and literature and that kind of thing. At eighteen, It had been Midwest university for Dirk. High Prairie beard that Dirk DeJong was going away to college. A neighbor's ion said, "Going to Wisconsin?

They say It's wonderful." won-derful." She looked at him, suddenly. "D.lrk, you wouldn't like to take it. would you? To go to Madison, I mean. Is that what you'd like?" He stared. "Me! No! . . . Unless Un-less you want me to, mother. Then I would, gladly. I hate your working -like this, on the farm, while I go oft to school. It makes me feel kind of rotten, having my mother working for me.

"What do jrou mean by 'successful,' Soblg?" She had not called him that la yean. But now the old nickname came to her tongue perhaps because they were apeaklng of his future, hll success.

"Oh, well, If you have money enough you can buy the things he makes, and have 'em. That's almost as good Isn't ur Dirk commenced his studies at Midwest Mid-west university In the autumn of 1909. His first year was none too agreeable, as Is usually the case In first years. He got on well, though. Before the end of the first semester he was popular. popu-lar. He had great riatural charm of manner. The men liked blm, and the glrbvioo. He rarely, "cull a !es. He would have felt that this was unfair arid disloyal to hls'mdthefr Some of his fellow students Joked about this faithfulness to his classes. "Person would think you were an Unclassified," Unclassi-fied," they said. "" The Unclasslfleds were made up, for tb.e most part of earnest and rather middle-aged students whose education was a delayed blooming. They usually were not enrolled for a full-course, or were taking double SATURDAY,' SEPTEMBER 5, 1925 work feverishly. : " The professors found them a shade too eager, perhaps; too Inquiring; demanding de-manding too much. They stayed after class and asked Innumerable questions. ques-tions. They bristled with Interroga-tlou. Interroga-tlou. They were prone to hold forth ln he classroom, "Well, I have found If to be the case ln my experience that" But the professor preferred to do the lecturing himself. If there was to be any experience related It should come from the teacher's platform, not the student's chair. In his first year Dirk made the almost al-most fatal mistake of being rather friendly with one of these Unclasslfleds Unclassl-fleds a female Unclassified, a large, good-humored, plump girl, aboih thirty-eight, with a shiny skin which ahe never powdered and thick hair that exuded a disagreeable odor of oil. She was sympathetic and Jolly, but her elothes were a fright, the Classifieds Classi-fieds would have told you, and no matter mat-ter how cold the day there was always al-ways a half-moon of stain showing under her armpits. She had a really tine mind, quick, eager, balanced, almost al-most Judicial. She knew-Just nwhlcb references were valuable, which useless. use-less. Her name was Schwengauer fatTie-Sehwengauer. Terrible I She and Dirk got ln the way of walking out of the classroom together, acrons the campus. She told him something of herself. "i'our people farmers!" Surprised, she looked at his well-cut clothes, his slim, strong, unmarked hands, his smart shoes and cap. "Why, so are mine. Iowa." She pronounced It Ioway. "I lived on the farm all my life till I waa twenty-seven. I always wanted to go away to school, but we never had the money and I couldn't coine to town to earn because I was the oldest, and Ma was sickly after Emma that's the youngest there are nine of us was born. Ma was anxious I Should go and Pa was willing, will-ing, but It couldu't be. No fault of theirs. One year the summer would be so hot, with no rain hardly from spring till fall, and the corn would Just dry up on the stalks, like paper. The next year It would be so wet the seed would rot in the ground. Ma diel when I was twenty-six. The kids were all pretty well grown up by that time. I'a married again In a year. I came to Chicago about five years ago. . . . I've done all kinds of work, I guess, except digging In a coal mine. I'd have done that If I'd had to." She told him all this ingenuously, simply. lirk felt drawn toward her, sorry for her. His was a nature quick to sympathy. He told his mother about her. Selina whs deeply Interested and stirred. "Ihi you think she'd spend some Saturday and Sunday here with us on the funu? She could come with -j orron Friday and go hack Sunday nij;!it if she wanted to. Or stay until Monday morning and go back with you. There's the spare room, all (inlet and cool. She could do as she liked." .iiittie enrne one Friday night. It whs the end of October, and Indian summer, the. most beautiful time of the year on the Illinois prairie. About the countryside for miles was the look of bounteousness, of plenty, of prophecy fulfilled as when a beautiful and fertile woman having borne her children and found them good, now sits eerene-eyed, gracious, ample bosomed, satisfied. Into the face of Mattle Schwengauer there came a certain glory. When she and Selina clasped hands Selina ; stared at her rather curiously, as though startled. Afterward she said to Dirk, aside: "But I thought you said she was ugly!" "Well, she is, or well, Isn't she?" "Look at her!" Mattle Schwengauer was talking to Meena Bras, the bouseworker. She was -standing with her hands on her ample hips, her fine head thrown back, her eyes alight, her lips smiling so that you saw her strong square teeth. Something had amused Mattle. She laughed. It was the laugh of a young girl, care-free, relaxed, at ease. For two days Mattle did as she pleased, which meant she helped pull vegetables ln the garden, milk the cows, saddle the horses; rode them without a saddle ln the pasture. "It got so I hated to do all those things on the. farm," she said, laughing laugh-ing a little shamefacedly. "I guess It was because I had to. But now It comes back to me and I enjoy It because be-cause It's natural to me, I suppose. Anyway, I'm having a grand time. Mrs. DeJong. The grandest time I ever had ln my life." Her face was radiant and almost beautiful. "If you want me to believe that," said Selina, "you'll come again." But Mattle Schwengauer never did come again. Early the next week one of the university uni-versity students spproached Dirk. He was a Junior, very Influential In his class, and a member of the fraternity to which Dirk was practically pledged. A decidedly desirable frat. "Say, look here, DeJong. I want to taU to you a minute. Uh, you've got to cut out that girl Swlnegour or whatever her name Is or It's' all off with the fellows ln the frat" "What d'you mean I Cut, outl What's the matter, with. her.r "Matter! She's Unclassified, Isn't she ! And: do you know what the story Is? She told It herself as sn economy, hint to a girl who was working her way through. She bathes with her union suit and white stockings on to save laundry soap. Scrubs 'era on her! S the God's truth." Into piiVs mind there flashed a picture pic-ture of this large girl. In her tight knitted union suit and .her white Stock ings sitting In alulaTTfuTTi? water j and scrubbing them and herself aim-1 Bltaneousiy. , a comic picture, and a revolting one. Pathetic, too, but he would not admit that. . "Imagine!" the frat brother-to-be was naying. -Well, we, cant have a fellow who goes around with a girl tike that Tou got to cut ber out, seel tXunwVtely. The fellahs won't stand for It." I'irk had a mental picture of himself striking a noble attitude and saying, "Won't stand for It, huh ! She's worth mure than the whole caboodle of you j put together. And you can all "go to I h I!" I Instead he said, vaguely, "Oh. Well. . Uh " .. - l'lrk changed his seat In the classroom, class-room, avoided "Mettle's eyes, shot out of the door the minute class waa over. One day he saw her coming toward him on the campus and he sensed thst she Intended to stop and speak to him chide him laughingly, perhaps. He quickened his pace, swerved a little lit-tle to one side, and as he paased lifted his cap .and nodded, 'keeping his eyes straight ahead. Out of the tall of his eye he could see her standing a moment mo-ment Irresolutely in the path. He got Into the fraternity. The fellahs fel-lahs liked him from the first Selina said ouce or twice, "Why dont yen bring that nice Mattle home with you again some time soon? Such a nice girl woman, rather. A fine mind, too. She'll make something of herself. You'll see. Bring her next week, h'mT Dirk shuffled, coughed, looked away. "Oh, I dunno. Haven't seen her lately. Guess she's busy with another crowd, or something." He tried not to think of what he had done, for he was honestly ashamed. Terribly ashamed. So he said to hlra-sajjf, hlra-sajjf, "Oh. what of It!" and hid his shame. A month later Selina again said, "I wish jou'd Invite Mattle for Thanksgiving Thanks-giving dinner. Unless she's going home, which I doubt. We'll have turkey tur-key and pumpkin pie and all the rest of It. she'll love It." "Mnttle?" He had actually forgotten forgot-ten her name,. - - - "Yes, of course. Isn't that right? Mattle Schwengauer?" "Oh. her. Uh well I haven't been seeing her lately." "Oh, Dirk, you haven't quarrels with that nice girl!" He decided to have It out "Listen, mother. There are a lot of different crowd's at the U, see? And Mattle doesn't belong to any of 'em. Tou wouldn't understand, but it's like this. She she's smart and Jolly and everything, every-thing, but she Just doesn't belong. Being Be-ing friends with a girl like that doesn't get you anywhere. Besides, she isn't a girl. She's a middle-aged woman, when you come to think of it." "Ooesn't get you anywhere P Se-llna's Se-llna's tone was cool and even.' Then, ai the boy's gaze did not meet hers: ''Why, Dirk DeJong, Mattle Schwengauer Schwen-gauer Is one of my reasons for sending you to a university. She's what I call part of a university education. Just talking to her Is learning something valuable. I don't ' mean that you wouldn't naturally prefer pretty young girls of your own age to go around with, and all. It would be queer If you didn't But this Mattle why, she's life. Do you remember that story of when she washed dishes In the . kosher restsurant over on Twelfth street and the proprietor used to rent out dishes and cutlery for Irish and Italian neighborhood weddings where they had pork and goodness knows what all, and then use them next day In the restaurant, again for the kosher customers?" Selina wrote Mattle, Inviting her to the farm for Thanksgiving, and Mat-tie Mat-tie answered gratefully, declining. "I shall always remember you," she wrote In that letter, "with love."

Is usually weakened by the rigors of disease and the excessive heat Is wont 'o sap his energy. Hence, the foods :hat are consumed during this period hould be considered carefully as to digestibility, food value, ease of assimilation, as-similation, purity and sterility, "These are Important In any food but especially espe-cially to :when the consumer Is not strong and healthy. In most cases, the one who Is convalescing con-valescing consumes milk In large quantities. This food contains all of the elements that are essential to the MHly.
