AViPe’s - Confession • by" .. Ilow Lillian Insures a Nice Quiet Chat. Marion ai)d I presented our names at the desk of ths Tudor and were promptly taken In the lift to the next floor and ushered down a cor ridor to a tiny sitting room. There Lillian stood alone, with no sign of the' ijny8terious girl who i^ad accom panied her to the hotel. "She’s in the bedroom, asleep, I hope,” she told us in a voire so low that no oils outsldo the room possi bly rould have heard it. "I took, this small suite here for the day, Madge,” Lillian continued. "But. dlt down and get your tilings off while I feast my eyes on you both. Oh! but it’s good to be back home again, or 03 near it 33 this.” She was busy with Marlon's hat and coat as she spoke, her bands lingering lovingly over her idolized daughter. Then she drew the child with her to a big arm chair and sat down, cradling her in her lap as though Marlon had been a child of three. "Has my baby missed her mother?" •he asked in the universal foolish fashion of mothers. Lillian, despite her unusual- mentality, remarkable poise and checkered experience in her r profession, and her government work ^ is most feminine and emotional where Marlon Is concerned, • "We ve r'lnishrn. “Missed you!” Marion rejoined fer vently, all I lie repressed feeling of the weeks of separation in her voice and eyes. Then for some time moth er and daughter, between caresses, chattered in a fashion which would have made any self respecting mag pie tuck their heads under their wings in shame. I picked up a magazine from the table and pretended to be engrossed in it, so that their reunion might be undisturbed. But Lillian was not deceived, and presently she released Marion, rose and, crossing the room, laid an affectionate hand upon my shoulder. “You blessed, self-effacing person,” she said, smiling, "you needn’t bury yourself in that magazine any longer. ■We've quite finished our little petting • party, and I’m dying te talk to you. Here, sweetheart,” she turned to ■Marion, “If you’ll rummage In this bag you'll find a book you’ve been talking about, and a box of your favorite bonbons. Just take them over and curl up In that arm chair by the window. They'll serve lunch eon downstairs in an hour, and you mustn’t spoil your appetite.” Marion flashed a merry glance at her. . , "I couldn't do that with the whole box,” she said, “but I’ll be good and take teenty vveenty bites, the way I used to do.” In another minute, curled up In (he armchair, she was so deep in the book tiiat we knew from experience that her ears would be completely shut to any conversation of ours. Indeed, when Mariqn Is absorbed In reading, we sometimes amuse our selves by seeing how long a Conyer s' Ration concerning herself can he car lied on In loud tones without her noticing a word. “Now,” Raid Lillian, drawing up a chair opposite me, “what s on your mind?” I suppressed the retort that I might more suitably ask what was on hers, but instead I made an in quiry concerning my father’s health. •Tie’s very fit, Indeed,” she said, and then she gave me a gamin like grin. f-- ' COLOR CUT-OUTS SLEEPING BEAUTY V___* A Id-ave Taking. "You must go away now,” ordered the good fairy. "You can move to another palace. I can not put you to sleep UK I did the other people In the court, for your people need you to t itle your country.” "That. Is tru<(” sighed the king. "We must go away.” t Then the queen put on her mourn ing dress and got ready to leave the palace. How still and strange It was with everyone In It. uleep! At last the king and queen took one more look at their sleeping daughter and then started away from the pul see. the growl 'fairy with them, "I'm alraid thieves will lirrnk In end steal all the lovely things In the palace or entry nwny the princess," worried the queen, "|'|| fix that,” answered the good fairy.

A "Possess jour soul," shs advised. “Toll shall know all,”—shs spread her hands theatrically—“In due time. But,"—with sudden sobering —“I can’t talk, even to you, j'et.

But at her appealing comradely grimace my re sentment fled. “I won’t ask even a mental ques tion concerning her," 1 said. ‘‘I've too much to tell you on my own ac count.” She put her finger to her lips, then spoke In a voice pitched to the tones of ordinary conversation. "Marion, will jou please bring me your book'"' I followed Lillian's Intent gaz<^ but tho joungj girl’s face held no con sciousness of her mother's request. Instead It held the absorption of the imaginative reader in a treasured book, and I knew llmt she was trav eling far afield with the characters in i lie story. "Do you know, Madge, I believe Marlon's dress is torn.” This was Lillian’s next sally in'louder tones, but there was not the slightest In dication that the child had heard, and with a satisfied nod she settled back in her chair, certain as I was that there would be no auditors of our colloquy. • The Kountzes in Cannes.

OF EVANSTON, ILLINOIS Member of the Board of lecture.hip of Ihe Mother Church The Fir.t Church «l Chriat, Scientist, in Bo.ton, Ma.aachu.ett. At Brandeis Theater, Friday Noon, February 6th In the Church Edifice, Twenty-fourth and St. Mary* Avenua Friday Evening, February 6th, at 8 o’clock The Public la Cordially Invited to Attend 1 : Disappear ? YOU wonder what becomes of them. —the girls who disappear—drop out of si ght, many never to be heard of a gai n. There are hundreds of such girls. You read about them in the papers for a day or two—then interest lags, and except for a broken-hearted mother, a father prematurely aged and hair turned gray, each case is forgotten in the interest that the next arouses. Late one night a young girl stepped from a train in the station at Youngs town, Ohio. She was attractive, beau tiful and of excellent family. She wanted to surprise her parents by her unexpected home coming and so, instead of telephoning to her father to come and escort her, she took a night hawk taxi standing at the curb. Later, a car came to a stop before a quiet-looking house with drawn cur tains, and an unconscious girlish figure was carried quickly up the steps and through the door—a door that might well have borne the legend “All hope abandon, ye who enter here.” That is how one girl disappeared as though the earth had swallowed her. Thus it was that through a simple error such as any girl might make, there began a chapter in her life so dreadful that she will carry the sickening mem ory of it with her to the grave. Ordinarily wild horses could 1 jK not tear from her the details of the J mk horrors she endured from the time j mm she stepped into the taxi until she J was rescued days later from that ft terrible barred room in the house | with the shades drawn dowy. j WF But because she realizes that f thousands of girls innocently and .Wjfk unthinkingly make errors that \y\ might easily result as disastrously if V as the simple mistake she made, Q M she has relived the episode once t again, in order that other girls may be spared the depths of ^ degradation and humiliation she suffered. You will find her story, told in m, her own words, in True Story Magazine for March, entitled “Out side the Law.” Every word, every incident, every detail, recorded exactly as it -S? was burned into her memory. Nothing is changed, nothing hidden, except the real ^ names of the persons involved, which for obvious reasons have to be disguised. It is a powerful, gripping true story that every girl and every parent of girls should read. Never in the history of True Story Magazine, whose purpose is and always has been to fight the powers of evil, has it placed before its readers a tale that will do more to protect girls and women from the human vultures who feed upon the trustfulness and thoughtlessness of innocence than this self-told story of a girl who disappeared. You will find it in True Story for March, now upon the newsstands. Other Heart-Gripping True Stories in the March Issue Are: “As a Woman Sows” —To Blanche, mar riage for love was a forlorn road to happiness— unless plenty of money went with it to bolster was to involve herself as a result. While there is a touch of humor in this astounding true story as Winnie tells it—every girl who reads up the matrimonial scheme. So she hesitated not an instant when she saw a chance to lure rich old Alexander Potter into marriage with her. She did not count on the fact that a man may be old, but still very clever—and when, shortly afterward, real.love actually came into her life, she found that she had recklessly thrust herself into the jawa of a ter rible trap from which it seemed there was no escape.

This is a truth about life that Bemarr Macfadden has been hammering home ever since he started several years ago to edit and publish True Story Magazine. In a thousand different ways, touching on a thousand widely-varied problems of life, he has sought, through the pages of True Story- Magazine, to dnve into the public consciousness those great burning truths about our moral, spiritual and physical lives that every man and woman, every boy and every girl ought to know. That he is succeeding in a big way is attested by the larga number of letters from all over the world that pour into ths offices of True Story Magazine. Those who have walked biindl v
