"Did Dick Connor say that, Frank?" sho asked, picking up the trend of his last remark. "Well, I suppose they've got some substitute, and I do hope she won't murder the part. Sho probably won t do it ns well as I," she added, with a little vanity, "because Mr. Cros by said nobody could." Then she said, by way of explanation, and showing the better side of her, "Of bourse, I have had more time on It." "Aw, come now, sis, now you are get ting to be Just like a girl. Of course, It's a shame that you can't do It, but, then, these things will happen." And so It happened that on the night of tho performance. Instead of being the performer. Shirley was the audience. There she sat. poor little thing, between her brother and Dick, suffering with her sore ankle, but wearing a smile at tho thought that the boys were having a good time. Once or twice Dick looked down at her, and he thought he Baw tesrs in her eyes, but he wasn't Bure. Poor little thing! How she must be suffering! Anybody who knew Dick would, on looking at his face at that moment, hae said that he was deciding eometning. When he took Shirley home that even ing, Dick had evidently made up his mind.

The dress itself is of silk fibre with silk-covered buttons A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose THKtlK Isn't the slightest doubt but that the American manufacturers were In perfectly good faith when they announced early In the season that they would show dresses and suits with longer skirts for the coming season. ISot only did It seem wise, Inasmuch as the skirts were narrow, to have them a little longer, but the Government had asked tho bootmakers to shorten the boot top. nnd In order to have the skirt In some sort of relation to the boot, the only thine to do was to bring the skirt down at least to meet the boot top. But the latest French models have begun to ar rive, and we aro all discovering, very much to our surprise, that the French have not taken the edict of tho American Goernment Into consideration at all For, Instead of the skirts being longer, they are shorter than they have ever been before, In fact so short that even the highest street boot that we now havo would scarcely be high enough to have the skirt and boot meet. Now tho vital Question of the hour Is: Just what are the women going to do? Will they approve of the shorter skirt and wear It? Then again. If they do, what Is going to be done about shoes? Are wo to wear a short skirt with a high boot that only comes within two or three Inches of meeting the skirt, or maybe wear the low shoe all winter? There is the spat, to be sure, but the anat also Is limited In height. There really does not seem to be anything to do but wear tne snort sairr, ana make tho best of It. While we are on the subject of boots. I must tip you off to the very newest fancy of lacing the Oxford with an Inch- wide ribbon. This Is considered very smart, the rlbHOn should matcn tne dooi In color and be firm enough to make perky bows that stand away from the instep. There Is one satisfaction: The style of shoe Just mentioned does look very chlo with the one-piece dress when the skirt 1b short. Especially Is this true of tho satin and trlcolette frocks. I am hnwlnir vou one of the new silk fiber dresses today which makes an excellent street dress. This has a long panel back and the popular apron front, both edged with long silk fringe. The buttons which decorate the bodice and the sleeves are covered with the silk. Here you see one of the shoestring belts of which I told you. Copyright. 1018. by Florence Rose.

Jack felt strangely out of It, too, al though he made a deliberate effort to talk and laugh as he felt the occasion demnnded. "Wo havo another surprise for you," laughed Helen, finally.

There was much talk and muffled laughter as they stumbled un the four dark flights of Bairs and Into a tiny two-room suite, uutn tnougnt It stuffy and ugly. The rooms were fur nished after a fashion, and as Helen hurriedly explained, they were tempo rary, but Iluth could not Imagine living in them a day with any one. Later, after a marvelous rarebit con cocted by Helen's cleer fingers, nnd somo salad which they all made together, and after the bride and groom had been properly toasted In claret punch, Ruth nnd Jack stolo down tno four long, aara flights of stairs, lealng behind them happiness and a confidence that made the ugly little npartment a Home. "Let's take a taxi home," suggested Jack. "It's such a lovely night. I'd rather walk," returned Ruth. She was afraid of the unavoidable Intimacy a taxi would suggest.

The home economics department of tho National War Garden Commission advises preserving ripe and green toma toes for frying by the following method : Select tomatoes which are firm and free from cracks and bruises. Wash them and pack whole In a wooden or earthenware container. Cover them with a brine made of one and two-thirds cup fuls of salt to every gallon of water used. Place a layer of grape leaves or Swiss chard on top and cover with a cloth and board or glazed plate. Place a weight on this. When bubbling ceases seal by pouring hot paraffin on the sur face.

How different things had been then. Sho remembered the taxi rides home from different affairs. Tho little dark enclosure had seemed then n wonderful place, where tho knowledge of Jacks nearness had electrical possi bllltles. Jack had kissed her the very first time In a taxi, and she had thrilled to the wonder of It. That had been Just two nights before she had become en gaged to him. "What are you thinking of, Ruth?" Ruth started guiltily. "Oh, lots of things." she returned lightly. "Of Helen mostly. What do you think of them. Jack?' "I think It's great, splendid." "Oh, of courso you men would. I might know you would think Just that way about It. You think of Just your side of It always." "What do you mean?" "Why, Just that Jim Is Very fortunate ; any man would be fortunate who got Helen. But what of Helen nnd the risk she Is taking? What of the time, after Jim goes?" Jack was silent as though consider ing; then he said slowly: "Helen didn't seem to be weighing such possibilities herself.'' "Of course not ; she's carried away, In fatuated ; she hasn't used any common sense at all." "But she and Jim Townsend have known each other for a good long time. It doesn't look to me as though she had done this thing lightly." This time Ruth was silent. She knew In her heart of hearts that she did not bellevo what sho was saying. She know that she admired Helen more than she had a'dmltted for her pluck. She knew that she was only arguing this way with Jack because she was up set and hardly knew what to think. But her Innate sense of Justice came to the fore and she said suddenly: "I don't know what has como over Helen. I can't understand It at all." "I can." "Whnt do you mean?" "Just that Helen haB changed be cause a hie thlifir has come Into her rlifc, a bigger element than all the petty little things she used to consider im portant. That's why she is willing to do this thing without considering the con sequences. She reasons that whatever may como of good or bad, this time of throwing caution to the winds and obey ing her Instincts will have been worth It." "It doesn't see.m fair that Jim has nothing to lose and that Helen has to stay and face everything." "I know It doesn't, but I think Helen nrranged things herself. I think she was more than witling." "It was wonderful of her," said Ruth, hardly abovo a whisper. They had reached Ruth's own apartment house and stopped to look at each other. An electric light shone garishly down on Ruth's face. It made her aecm paler than usual. Jack's face grew suddenly tender. Both were unconsciously facing a sacrifice, and Ruth was tho first to speak. "Helen haB made me feel as though I haven's been playing tho game. Jack," she said quickly. "You do love me, dear?" he asked. "Of course." Ruth returned gravely, and sho smiled up Into his eyes with a question In her heart. (In tomorrow's chanter Ruth settles a blc I problem and Is comparatively content.) SATURDAY'S ANSWERS 1.

CHAPTER XXV (Continued) ALL of this the Blalsdells heard from . Miss Maggie In addition to seeing It In the newspapers. But very soon, from Miss Maggie, thoy began to learn more. Before a fortnight had passed Miss Flora received another letter from Chi cago that sent her flying as before to her sister-in-law. "Jane, Jane. Maggie's met him," she cried, breathlessly bursting Into the kitchen where Jane was paring the apples that sho would not trust to tho maid's more wasteful knife. "Met him I Met who 7" i "Mr. Fulton. Eho talked with, him I Sho wrote mo all about It" "Our Mr. Fulton?" "Yes." "Flora !'" With a hasty twirl of a now reckless knife Jane finished tho last apple, set the pan on the table before the maid and hurried her visitor Into tho living room, "Now, tell me quick what did she say? Is ho nice? Did she like him? Did he know she belonged to us 7 "Yes yes everything," nodded Miss Flora, sinking Into a chair. "She liked htm real well, she said, and ho knows all about that she belongs to us. She said he was real Interested In us Oh. I hope she didn't tell him about Fred I" "And that awful gold mine stock," moaned Jane. "But she wouldn't I know she wouldn't I" "Of course she wouldn t," cried Miss Flora. "'Tlsn't like Maggie one bit! She'd onlv tell the nice things. I'm sure. And, of course, she'd tell him how pleased wo were with the money!" "Yes. of course, of course. And to think she's met him really met him!" breathed Jane. "Mclllcent!" She turnpd an excited face to her daugnter, wno had Just entered the room. "What do you UilnK7 Aunt floras just naa a letter from Aunt Maggie, and she's met Mr. Fulton actually -talked with him I" Really7 Oh. how perfectly splendid ! Is he nice? Did she llko htm?" Miss Flora laughed. "That's Just what your mither asked. Tcs, he's real nice, your ATint Maggie says, and sho likes htm very mucn." "But how'd she do It? How'd she happen to meet him?" demanded Jane. "Well, It seems he knew Mr. Tyndall, and Mr. Tyndall brought him home, one night and Introduced htm to his wire ana Maggie; ana since men "en been very nice to them. He's taken them out In his automobile, and taken Viom in Ihn theatrft twice." "That's because she belongs to us, of course," nodded jane wisely. "Yes. I suppose so," agreed Flora. "And I think It's very kind of him." "Pooh!" sniffed Melllcent airily. "I think he does It because he wants to. You never did appreciate Aunt Maggie. I'll warrant she's nicer and BWeeter and nnd, yes. prettier than lots of those old Chicago women. Aunt Maggie look ed positively handsome that day she left here last July. She looked so so absolutely happy! Probably he likes to take her to places. Anyhow. Im glad she's having one good time before she dies" "Yes. so am I. my clear. Wo all arc, sighed Miss Florn. "Poor Maggie!" "I only wish he'd marry her nnd and give her a good time all her life, avowed Melllcent, lifting her chin. "Marry her!" exclaimed two scornful voices. . . . . "Well, whv not? She'B good enough for him." bridled Mrlllcent. "Aunt Mag gie's good enough for anybody!' nf nmir ahn Ih. child I'1 laughed Miss Flora. "Maggie's a saint If ever there was one." "Yes. but I shouldn't call her a mar- "Well. I don't know about that." frowned Miss Flora thoughtfully. "Hat tie always declared there'd be n match between her and Mr. Smith, you know.' "Yes. But there wnsn't one. wnj there?" twitted Jane. "Well. then. I shall stick tn my original statement that Maggie Duff Is a saint, all right, but not a marrying one unjess some one marries her now for her money, or ""ASK Aunt Maggle'd stand for that !" scoffed Melllcent. "Besides, she wouldn t have to ! Aunt Maggie's good enough to be married for herself. "There, there, child, Just because you aro a lovesick little piece of romancn Just now, you needn't think everybody else Is." her mother reproved her a But Melllcent only laughed merrily as she disappeared Into her own room. "Speaking of Mr. Smith, I wonder where he Is. nnd If he'll ever come bnrk here." mused Miss Flora aloud. "I wish he would He was a very nice man, and I liked htm." ,,, ... "Goodness.

CHAPTER XXVI Re-Enfer Mr. Stanley G. Fulton 1-1 N THE library of Mrs. Thomas Tyn- I dall'n Chicago home Mr. Stanley G, Fulton was Impatiently awaiting the appearance of Miss Maggie Duff. In a minute she came In. looking charmingly youthful lir her new. well-fitting frocK The man. quickly on his feet at her entrance, gave her a lover s ardent kiss . but almost Instantly he held her off nt arms' length. "Why. dearest, what's the matter? he dmanded. "W-what do you mean? "You look as If If something had hap pened not exactly a bad something, but what Is it?" Miss Maggie laughed softly. "That's one of the verv nicest things about you. Mr. Stanley-G.-Fulton-John-Smlth." she sighed, nestling comfortably n.n Ilia nlMA lT tllR Arm B.1 II1CJT Ml dnwn nn the divan "that you notice things so. And It seems so good to me to have Bomebody notice. ' t)A lnnalv little woman! And to think of all these years I've wasted !" "Oh. but I snan I db loneiy miy niuir now. And. listen I'll tell you what made me look so funny: I've had a letter from Flora. You know I wrote them about my coming marriage. "Yes, yes," eagerly. "Well, what did they sav?" . . . M , -Miaa XTno-irlA lauirhed again. "I believe I'll let you read the letter for vcurself. Stanley. It tells some things toward the end that I think you'll like to know," she said, a little hesi tatingly, aB she held out the letter she had brought Into the room with her. "Good! I'd like to read It," cried Fulton, whisking the closely written sheets from the envelope. "My dear-Maggie (Flora had written) Well, mercy me, you have given us a surprise this time, and no mistake! Yet we're real glad. Maggie, and we hope you'll be awfully happy. You deserve It. all right. Poor Maggie I 'You've had such an awfully hard time all your life ! mtoaii whAn vnur letter came, we were Just going out to Jim's for an old fashioned Thanksgiving dinner, so I took It along with mo and read it to them all. .1 kept It till we were all to gether, too. though I most bursted with the news all the way out. "Well, you ought to have heard their tongues wagl They were all struck dumb first for a minute, all except Mel llcent, She spoke up the very first thing and clapped her hands. " 'There I" she cried.

We were talking one day about you Jane and Melllcent and me and we said you were a saint, only not a marrying saint. But Melllcent thought you were, and It seems sho was right Oh, of course, we'd all thought once Mr. Smith might take a fancy to you, but wo never dreamed of such a thing as this Mr. Stanley G. Fulton. Sakes alive I can hardly sense It yet I "Jane, for a minute, forgot how rich he was and spoke right up real quick It's for her money, of course. I knew some one would marry her for that $60, 000 1' But she laughed then, right off, with the rest of us at the Idea of a man worth millions marrying anybody for 150.000. "Benny says there ain't any man alive good enough for his Aunt Maggie, so If Mr Fulton gets lb being too high-headed sometimes, you can tell him what Benny says. "But we're all real pleased, honestly, Maggie, and of course we're terribly ex cited. We're so sorry you're going to be married out there ln Chicago. Why cant you make him come to HIllerton7 Jane says she'd be glad to make a real nice wedding lor you and wncn jane says a thing like that, you can know how much she's really saying, for Jane's' feeling awfully poor these days since they lost all that money, you know. "And we'd all like to see Mr. Fulton, too 'Cousin Stanley,' as Hattle always calls him. Please give htm our congratu lations but there that sounds funny, doesn't It? (But the etiquette editors In the magazines BJy we must always give best wishes to the bride and congratula tions to the groom.) Only It seems funny here to congratulate that rich Mr. Fulton on marrying; you. Oh. dear! I didn't mean It that way, Maggie. I declare. If that sentence wasn't way In the middle of this third page, and so awfully hard for me to write, anyway, I'd tear up this sheet and begin nnotner. nut, alter an, you'll understand, I'm sure. You know w all think the world of you. Maeglc. and that I didn't mean anything against you. it's just that that Mr. Kuuon is Is such a big man, and all But you know what.I meant. , "Well, oneway. If you can't come here to bo married, we hope you'll bring him hero soon so we can see him, and see you, too. We miss you awfully, Mtrggie truly we do, especially since Jim's folks went, and with Mr. Smith gone, too, Jane and I are real lonesome. "Jim and Hattle like real well where they arc. They've got a real pretty home, and they're the biggest folks ln town, so Hattle doesn't have to worry for fear she won't live quite so fine as her neighbors though realty I think Hattlo's got over that now a good deal. That awful thing of Fred's sobered her a lot and taught her who her real friends wero, nnd that money ain't everything. "Fred Is doing splendidly now. Just as steady as a clock. It does my soul good to see him and his father together. They are Just like chums. And Bessie she Isn't near so disagreeable and airy as she was. Hattle took her out of that school and put her Into another where she s getting some real learning and less so ciety and frills and dancing. Jim Is doing well, and I think Hattle's real happy. Oh, of course, when we first heard that Mr. Fulton had got back I think she was kind of disappointed. You know she always did Insist we were going to have the rest of that money If he didn't show up. But sho told me Just Thanksg!lng Day that she didn't knpw but 'twas Just as well, nflcr all, that they didn't have that money, for maybe Fred'd go wrong again, or It would strlKo Benny this time. Anyhow, however much money she had, she said, she d never let her children spend so much again, and she'd found out money didn't bring hap piness always, anyway. "Melllcent and Donald are going to be married next summer. Donald don t get a very big salary yet, but Melllcent says she won't mind a bit going back to economizing again, now that for once she's had all the chocolates and pink dresses she wanted. What a funny girl she 3 but she's a dear girl. Just the same, and shos settled aown reai bmbi- ble now. She and Donald are as nappy as can be. and even Jane likes Donald real well now.

Mnrv Hicks came i home from Boston sick last September, and she's been nere at my nouse ewr since.

She works ln a depart ment store and was all played out, hut she's picked up wonderfully here and Is going back next week. "Well, sho was telling me about a Klrl that works with her at the same counter, and saying how she wished she had a place like this to gey to for a rent' and change, so I'm going to do It give them one. I mean, she and the other girls.

With a Bmlle Mr. Fulton folded the letter anaVhandcd it back to Miss Maggie. "I didn't feel that I was betraying confidences under the circumstances." murmured Miss Maggie. "Hardly !" "And there was a good deal In the let ter that I dfd want you to see,' added Miss Maggie "Hm-m ; the congratulations t'for one thing, of course," twinkled toe man.
