Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love"’ Why Mrs. Durkre Was Worried About Alfred and Leila. Little Mrs. Durkre put her head on one side. Irresistibly reminding me of a wise robin, and eyed me shrewdly. “So you saw that, too." alia said, patently acquiescing in my comment lhat Alfred and Leila were dwelling, loo much upon some pretty personal problem of their own, and needed a , shock of some kind to take them out j of themselves. "Well, that's all right, j as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough. There's more the matter be tween them than just temperament. And my getting sick wouldn't help matters any. Of course, it would keep 'em both busy, but it would give that Bess Dean a chance to pile on the sympathy stuff. 1 can just see her waltzing in with flowers and broths and eooings for me. always timing her visits when she's sure Alf is home.” It took all my will power to hide the astonished concern her words gave me. I bent lower over my park ing that she might not see my face until I was able to present an unruf fled countenance to her. Madge Begins to I’nderstand. Bess Dean! Before me rose the vision of Leila's quivering lips and tortured eyes when upon the preced ing evening she had mistaken another woman for the pretty, scheming Bay View school teacher, and had blurted out her belief. I saw also Alfred's agi tation and Dicky's inexplicable an noyau- o at lieu abrupt question. And here, from the lips of Alfred Durkee's mother, 1 was bearing words which "bound off the stitches in the fabric of worry over Bess Bean's activities which I had knitted since my goodby to Leila. I straightened myself with a pre tended catch la—the muscles of my back and spoke with apparent casual ness. "So she's still affeeiing the neigh borly sympathy pose, is she'.’" 1 asked. "I remember your telling me about that the last time we lunched to gether in the city.” 1 remembered something else of that conversation, also. Mrs. Burkee had said that liens Bean contrived to take the same train as Alt cvfry Saturday morning, saying that she had classes at Columbia, a state- ; ment which the little woman frankly j disbelieved. I had thought at the time that the situation had dynamite concealed in ] it. and had resolved to thwart Bess j Dean's cattiness if it were in my pow er. Then for weeks, because of the injury received in the final roundup - of the gang of conspirators headed ; by the man. Smith. 1 had been unable j to attend to anything. And after I had (recovered, my search for an apartment in the city had left me so little time or strength, that I scarcely had thought of my friends in Mayvin. My conscience lashed me sorely with the remembrance of Leila's trou bled face, and I listened for my little friend's reply to my question. “It's a Mess.” "She’s doing everything she can think of to make Leila Jealous! " Her Fluffinoss snapped. "1 don’t think she rare two cents for Alf. or any other man. but she simply can't rest unless she's making some other wo man miserable. I've seen her type before. She's like a cat with a live mouse between her paws. And Leila has got just about as much spirit as a mouse, too " I paid a mental tribute to the shrewdness of her insight and the patness of Iter simile even as I haz arded a hesitant uuestion: ' But surely, Alf*—" "Alfa a man."’ Alf’s mother de elated with an intonation that con signed everything masculine to an asylum for the feeble minded. "I don't mean that lie's In love with tier, or anything like that, lie's just as crazy about Leila now as he was the day lie married her, but lie's as easily flattered as—as—well—as tile Dicky bird." this witli a half frightened half defiant glance at me, "and that Bess Dean is just devilish, that's all, in the way she does things. .Site's man aged her moves so slyly that Alf thinks she's a most wonderful friend of Leila and resents the fact that Leila doesn't appreciate the darling ns she deserves. "And,” Mrs. Durkoe drew a deep breath. "Leila's begun just lately to show that she's jealous. Of course, that’s Just nuts to Bess Dean, and it makes Alfred sore. It's just a mess all around, and sometimes I'd be glad if something did happen to me so I'd be out of it. <iooil Hither Way.

Dear Miss Fairfax; I have read the letter of “Lover of Pretty : Things,” You want an opinion on ' the letter. Well, I think that a girl ; is very foolish to keep gifts from a man she is not going to marry. (1 mean such expensive gifts ns this girl received). If her present Inver does not want her to keep the gifts she should by all . means return them. 1 don't think it makes any difference if they are going to live in another town. This man may not cure for these gifts now. but some time he may. 1 1 hope to see this in print. I am just a reader. WALLACE. She Would Keep Jewels. Bear Miss Fairfax; Before running down town to shop, 1 want to drop a line for the benefit- of “Lover of Pretty Things." This man she is about to marry really doesn't object to the jewelry given her by a friend before In* came into her life, he is just plain jealous of the man he associates In his mind with this Jewelry. Were they gifts from a lady friend he wouldn't object to them; why should he object to them given by a gentleman purely out of friendship? Had she had a love affair with the giver of this jewelry it would be different, but they do not bring to her memory any heart throbs, so her husband-to-be hasn’t any right to lie jealous; but men are always that way. If she lets him dictate to her now I feel sorry for her once they are married. She lias a right to some consideration of feelings. This is what to do; Tell him you won't give them hack; put them away . nd don’t boile r the poor fellow by wearing them. Then don't talk about the man who gave them to Aon—let him forget this man After a year or so of married life and you have shamed him out of his jealousy, he won't care one bit if you take your precious gifts out of hiding and wear them to your beat it's content. I bad the same experience. That's what I did and it worked out beauti fully. Hut. look out, “^overr of Pret ty Things.” these men camouflage their "demands ‘ the same as women, so don't let him pet you into giving these back. If you want them, keep them, but go about it honestly, but use some tart. IHISir THE SECOND. Miss T. .fames: Platinum or white gold settings are being worn a great deal. The platinum is very much more expensive than white gold. Our Children By .WORM) I'ATRI. Baseball. "Junior simply has to stop playing ball,” announced bis mother with sharp incisiveness, holding up a be grimed and tattered knickers. "This is the third pair this week. Ilis shoes are gone. Scrubbed to a frazzle. He is on his last pair. That's had enough. But—have you seen him this eve ning?” "Not yet.” said father. "I won dered where he was. Thought h" hadn't mine in from the game yet.” "He's in' I've been washing and mending him and bandaging him for (lie last hour. Jun yur r- r! t ome down hen- and lot your father see you." Junior came stiffly. There was a wodd.v bandage about his left knee and lie favored the right heel slight ly. Tlu- right sleeve of his blouse was rolled high and for a considerable dis tance above ond below the elbow his arm was neatly swathed in white. Mis fare was rather one-sided and bulgy at that. There was a puff above one eye and the cheek below It was deep red and hinting of blacker shades to come. l.ong crimson scratches ran from chin to brow and the whole shone under a coat of cold cream. lie smelled like a cross between a drug store and a beauty parlor. "Now isn't that a picture? Wonder he wasn't killed! T tell you this thing has lo stop.” and mother's voice trembled with anxiety and indigna tion. "That's not play. It's wild bat tle and butchery!" "Aw, Morn, what's the matter with you? I'm not hurt! Just a few scratdhe*. Twon't show in the morn ing. The other fellows Bt-e all scratched up. too, and they aren't saying anything." "How come?" said father, cocking a mild eyebrow. "Mb;-moionship game! The field was kind of sandy aral wo had a licit game. The Orioles had Hed Flannl gan pitching for them. The big skins! He's In higli school already! But we licked them, just the same.” "Did you?" said father. "And with Bed in the box?" "Vep. They had three men on bases and me pitching! Not a man got in. Some scrap!"

A French Clay Gave me beauty and perennial youth By Edna Wallace Hopper I haveNbren a famous beauty f*>r nearly 40 years. 1 am still a stage beauty, playing ; oung mils’ parts. And l look like a girl of 19. I was born with gome beauty, but I learned in France how to multiply that beauty* And I learned how to keep it to my gran 1 old age. I have supplied those helps to countless friends, and they obtained like results. So I ki w that millions '•an gain new beauty and keep youth in my ways. And I write this to help them. Above all, a clay My * h rf help is a facial • lav. Not the crude and muddy clays so many use today. I quit those years ago. French experts have perfected clays by twenty years of scientific study. 1 use thgir latest type. It is, they tell me, the very utmost in a facia] clay. I now have it made by American experts. Just as French experts make it. 1? is a rare day, mineral lad* n, which proved itself supreme. It is a efined with the useless mud removed. It has added factors which give the clay new and increased effects. I used the crude clays in the old times and thought them wmderfuL F.ut this perfected ' by is futty ten times better. No woman who or.ee ‘lies it "ill return to other clays. New beauty at once I now- have this clay made for all who desire it. I call it my "White Youth Clay. It is at your store to day. I feel that I me.- this ,«<-i vice to my sex. Youth Clay brings results which are quick and amazing. It purges the skin tu remove the cause of sallow ness, blackheads and blemishes. It brings the blood to the skin to nourish and revive it. That bring* a rosy afterglow. Many women, in 30 minutes, seem to drop ten year'. 1* firms the *1.: i. combats ail l.i'v and wrinkles, red in enlarg'd !>'• •-' Thus it acts to give and maintain r youthful bloom and contour. I owe rny beauty largely to Youth Clay. To ’t I owe my baby like com plexion at my age. It should do the same for millions and I want it to. Clay is a beauty essential. No wo man can look her best without It. no woman can keep her youth, fa mous beauties of all age* have used clay. You can pick out clay users in any cri'Wd by tbsJr beauty and ti ' bloom. Ho every woman owe* this to herself. Edna Wallace Hopper’s Youth Clay s now supplied by all druggists arid toilet counter'. Price, 30c and II fte tube. Also my Youth Cream, which should follow the clay. Also mi facial Youth—my famous liquid , leans* r. Also my Hair Youth, whic h brought my luxuriant hair. My Beauty Book comes with *aeh.
