Dear Miss Allen: A while ago a friend invited me and my fiance to a party and we took his sister along. She did some things her brother didn’t like and when they got home he told her about them. She turned on him and blamed me for the criti cisms, saying I had put him up to them. Ido not think he defended me the way he should, so have decided to part with him. ELIZABETH. Tou are thinking a little too much about youself In this affair. If you really had nothing to do with the quarrel between brother and sister, I think you should pay no attention to It now. How do you know the boy didn’t defend you? What things did the boy clrltlclse in his sister? Evi-i dently she had a guilty conscience about her conduct. Don't ml* up In the family quarrels of your fiance, and If you ever marry him continue this policy of "hands off your hus band's relatives.” Still Loves Him. Dear Miss Allen: I am a young girl and went with a man two years my senior for over a year. He was well thought of by all who knew him. Then, for some unknown reason, he quit me and kept company with a girl In another town. He led a fast life. Now he wants to come back to me. I still love him, but I cannot forget the past. I ask this favor of you as I have no mother to advise me. Yours [4ruly, MINNIE. The outlook for you does not ap pear salubrious. You say so definitely that he led a fast life. Haven't you lost confidence In him? At least, be slow to take a serious step. Mrs. Rushton Hostess Honor ing Mrs. Joseph Seacrest of Lincoln.

There was an oddly feverish look on Lillian's face which I saw aa fcoon as I entered the living room of our little apartment. She had net come to the door, evidently sharing her former husband's aversion to a sec ond meeting, and she did not rise from the chair In which she was slumped—there Is no other word that so willingly expresses her posture. Utter fatigue of mind and body— these were the things which were written all over her, and I wondered what activities hud been hers dur ing my absence. "Well, Madge!" she smiled wanly up at me. “You see before you the effects of a misplaced ambition. I had an Idea, for a drawing flash upon me—you know that new soap powder thing they want—and I’ve been working like mad on the thing. Oh, no, you won’t see any evidence,” at 1 cast an involuntary glance at the table. "It's In the wastepaper basket. I had all my work for noth in. The darned thing wouldn't jell." It Is her favorite expression for the refusal of an Idea to materialize Into the drawing and amusing dog gerll for the Illustrated advertising jingles which had made her famous. I had seen her In exactly this spent state before, yet there came psychic ally to me the conviction that she was deliberately deceiving me. She had done no drawing, no writing. It was some other mental work that had drained her strength. But my cue was clear and I obeyed It. “Too bad!” I said sympathetically. "What can I do for you? Pardon! I won't even ask you. A cup of tea for youra right now. I’ll wager you haven't made one for yourself." Manila Is In Bed. 1 "Go to the head of the class," she said, with another feeble smile. "I haven’t, and I think I have been subconsciously wishing top you to cpme home and make me one. But get off that dress, first. I’ve brought all your things out here, and your dresshanger Is on the chandelier. In the words of our grandmothers, 'everything Is In perfect order, with the dishcloth in the middle of the floor.' ” I followed her eyes and answered her grin. Patently she was con quering her fatigue, and I noted for the hundredth time that she has more resilience than any other wo man I know. "I suppose this means that the fair Mamie is occupying our bed room," I said, lowering my voice. “Your supposition Is eminently correct." she answered. "If you'll come over here. I’ll help unhook you. but I wouldn't move out of Gabriel's trump." I bent over her. and she unfsst ened the snaps I could not reach easily. "Have a »good time?" she asked, as I began to wiggle out of the dress. 4 "Whit Did You Eat?" “Wonderful." I replied, salving my conscience with the remembrance that part of the evening Justified my adjective. “Where did you go?" and at my answer she nodded. "Harry always liked that place," she commented, and then to my as tonishment she asked with the eager ness of a schoolgirl: “What did you have to eat?” Before I realized it, I shot an amazed look at her. It was so un like her to dip Into details—Indeed, she generally Is extremely unobserv ant of the minutiae of daily living, but there was no mistaking her gen uine wish to know the Items of our menu. I repeated the dinner order slow ly, and when I had finished, quietly added: "I asked Mr. Underwood to order the dinner. I knew nothing of It until It came upon the table, course by course." “Thereby sending Harry Into the "I think his Idea of the hereafter Is to sit at an Immortal dinner table, conjuring up new combinations of nectar and ambrosia." There was something in her voice which puzzled me. It was not re gret, yet there was something very like that emotion in her tones. Then I realized an age-old truth, although I had not thoughtt o apply It to a superwoman like Lillian. No woman who has been married can forget the dally details of he> llfe with her husband even though they have gone out of each other's lives, and she has no shred of ro mantic Interest left for him. Lillian cared no whit for Harry Underwood, but she still had vKId memories of their life together. (Copyright, 1924 > At Happy Hollow. Mrs. W. C.
