She had closed the door of her bedroom and had cried for a long time, then she had sat up In the tumbled bed and viewed herself in the class. Her hair hung in wisps nhout her face, her eyes were swollen with crylnu, she looked limp and dejected, find she felt worse. With a spring she was suddenly out of bed, and drawing the water for n bath. For the nexf three-quarters of nn hour, she bathed, powdered, curled her hair, got out fresh linen, and Into smart clothes. When hhe wns finished, excepting for a slight lrtlncss of tho eyes, she looked her usual self. It was then thnt the idea popped into her bend. At first she shivered nwny from it. She simply could not do Mich n thing, it wasn't possible, and then it came back ngnin. After all why not? Things simply couldn't go on as they were now. Sho felt that she couldn't bring herself to do such a thing because of her pride. Well, hndn't her pildo suffered enough alrondy? Natalie, along with the vrcst of her lBceutly acquired knowledge, was grad ually learning something about men. She knew because she loved a man inoro than she would hnve otherwise. She Knew, for instance, that men are like children ; that their natures are natur ally polygamous, but that nine chances out of ten they will play the game ac cording to Iloyle unless they arc baited by a woman. The gieat idea was to go to Ruth and ask her to leave .Tntk alone. The more she thought of it the more she decided to go. She finally found her self out in the sunlight and on the way up to Ruth, her heart beating in her throat, wondering what she would say. Ry the time she actually reached Ruth's apartment sho was woiked up into n high pitch of excitement, she felt keyed up to doing this one thing whether sjic made another effort or not. Vaguely as she climbed the t-tnits sbe realized that what she wns about to do might seem theatrical and silly to Ruth, After nil it wasn't as if Ruth had done any-- thing. It was just that she encour nged Jack to keep on liking her. Deep in her heart Natalie icalied, too, that she liked Ruth, liked her awfully. She could like her better than eer now if It weren't for this one thing. Then she had pressed the button and on the other side of the door she heard hurrying feet coming to open it. Ruth had her lint on. She wns evi dently going out. "Why, Natalie '." she exclaimed. "I'm so surprised to see jou. Come in." ''Were you going out?" "Yes, but not anywhere in particular. I'm so glad to see ou."v They had reached the 'iMng-ioom so different from Natalie's own luxminus one. and they dropped into chniis facing each other. Kadi wns uncon'-riously niensuiing the other. Suddenly Natalie spoke. "I came about Jack," she began, her hands in their smait vhitc-.stitchcd gloves twisting in her lap. Ruth hardened. Theie was nothing nhout Natalie that awakened her pity, Natalie did not look as if sho needed pity sitting theie in the bright sun light, so rniefully gloomed. Ruth should hne seen her an hour or so back. She gave n sin pricd little laugh. "Why, Natalie, I don't know what you mean." "Yes, jou do," Natalie went on, sud denly looking up. "I had to come. It's the last thing I'm going to do, but if anything comes of it I won't be sorry." Natalie s ejes. looking into Ruth's were not the laughing light blue eyes thafthoy once had been ; they were dark with pain, they wcie the ejes of a woman, and they made Ruth feel vnguely unhappy. This wasn't the Nat nlie that she had known. This wns another woman, a stranger. This was n Natalie with undreamed of depths, an awakened woman. "1 cnudln't have come ifjou hndn't bepn my friend," Natalie went on sim ply, her oicc trembling a little, "and perhaps it won't do any good. Hut I know you love Scott, Ruth. I know that you don't mean n thing by this friendship with Jack, that theie isn't anything in it, but you.see by keeping it up Jack is constantly drawing com parisons between you nnd me. He doesn't love mc; ho never did; nnd I know how things were with jou. I didn't love him, either, when we be came engaged. 1 didn't think intuit about it, but it's nil I ever dq think of now, nnd I want lum to love mc more thnn anything else in the world." Nat y fille's thin little voice bioke, her com posure wavcreds n tear gathered and " dropped through her veil and down onto the snowy rultle of her frill. All of Ruth's own warm-heartedness wns uppermost now, and in nn instant she wns on her knees by Nntalie's side. "Jack doesn't care for me, Natalie; he just thinks he does. Don't you know that he wouldn't have mairied jou otherwise? He needn't have, you know. Things nio going to come out all right witli you and Jack, jou just see if they don't. Oh, Natalie, dear, I never knew you cared bo much, I'm m! glad. I , know you're going to be so happy. " In the next Installment Natalie car ries on. Ttvo Dresses in One Tor the girl who has only one white voile dres ready for her summer vaca tion and is Invited to go earlier than she expected, this detachable collar should be n salvation.
