By MARTHA ALLEN. □WO girl churns think they have real heartaches just because two young men, brothers, have trana ferred their attention from them to two new women In town. You are not engaged to them, B. and S., but still you th-.rfft of telling them all about these new women who are said to have bad characters. It's the nature of some men con stantly to seek new fields to conquer so you'll have to be content to lie on the sidelines instead of taking part in the game. Since neither of you is engaged to either of thesg men, there is no need to consider a change of heart to be trouble. Walt until you have good cause before you cry for help. Even if you have proof that these new sirens have a "shady" past it wouldn't be advisable to let the young men hear you say so. If you want to hold their friend ship keep silent about other girls and their characters. Men hate women who show a jealous disposition by maligning other women.

Katherine not only has the know ledge, deftness and resourcefulne-sB which her training as a nurse hos given her, but she possesses a deli cate and sure Intuition’, and an In itiative which enables her to handle any situation. Whether or not '(.he had met Leila in the hall and been told of her patient’s hysteria I could not tell— her keen, practiced eyes were guide enough to the problem, and her words were as casual as if 'Mrs. Durkee and I were calmly seated at afternoon tea. " ’Lo, A: ,dge, I was afraid I'd miss your coming. Hut I had to go to Kreeport for some things we needed and which were not delivered when they were promised, and you know what a hurg that is to get back from by train.’* "Indeed, I do,” I returned with a reminiscent little laugh. Katherine had laid down her parcels, and re moved her hat as she spoke, and she now advanced to us, and put her arm around her trembling patient. "Time for your nap, little lady," she said with her best professional manner. Mrs, Durkee looked up at her with a tremulous little smile, In which, however, I detected a touch of the delicate diablerie which Is the lltil*> woman's chief charm. "Madge says I don't have to see Dr. Braithwalte or have him operate if I don't want to,’,’ she announced a hit defiantly. “Madge is a wise girl," Katherine returned with an emphasis which I understood, while the approval of my actions which it Implied gratified me exceedingly. She was turning down the bed as she spoke, and she patted the pillows invitingly. “Just lie down and I’ll take off your shoes,” she said. "Her Fluffiness" cast a protesting look at her beautiful negligee gown. Soothing the Patient. "But this will get all rumpled," she said. "I shan't be fit to be seen. It's bad enough to have to appear in a negligee, anyway." Over her head Katherine and I flashed a glance of amused under standing. She already was subcon sciously anticipating a meeting with the surgeon whom she hysterically had declared five minutes before she would not see. “That's true,” Katherine said. "Madge, toss me a kimono from the closet, please.” I obeyed her, and In a few sec onds Katherine working swiftly had taken off one garment, put on the other, and tucked our little friend In bed. “Now this," she said, handing Mrs. Purkce a tiny pellet and a glass of water, “and you'll be asleep before you know It." The little woman docilely cuddled down among her pillows and closed her eyes, but opened them almost im mediately to say imperatively: "Girls, don't let the dinner spoil. That Mrs. Braithwalte Is a model housekeeper." She closed her eyes again, and Katherine motioned me to the door, through which we passed leaving it hut a trifle sjar. There we stood, tense, listening, until the sound of deep, regular breathing told us that Katherine’s prescription had taken effect. Leila, red-eyed and tremu lous, had joined us, but Katherine’s gesture of s.lence had kept her as quiet and watchful as ourselves. My little kinswoman noiselessly stepped back Into the room, and came out again almost instantly, dosing the door tightly shut behind her with such infinite care that not even the tiniest creak betrayed the action. Then she beckoned us down the hall to her own room. "Now." she said, "one of us must sit outside until she awakens.” "Please let me,” Leila pleaded. Mrs. Ourkee Sleeps. ‘‘Surely,” Katherine assented, "only you must promise me one thing. When she awakens and calls, do not answer her yourself, but call me I Instantly. I want to see her before anyone else does." There was an authority in her vo’ce which was not to he disregarded, and Leila promptly pave the required promise. "That's that." Katherine said, when after Leila had left us and taken up her vigil, my little kinswoman closed l)er door and faced me. "Tell me what happened." I told her as briefly as possible of Mrs. Durkee’s brainstorm and hyster ical protests that she would not see Dr. Tiiaithwaits. “With Leila dripping quarts of tears all over the room," Katherine inter posed. "I thought so. 1 never should have left them together. Hut It's all FRIDAY % at Edward Reynolds Co.
