STAUT THIS STORY TODAY
AFTER Mrs. Jcrgcns lintl left Nntnlic
" to herself and had proceeded on her
nay to Jack's office, Natalie came to
n sudden decision. 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. It Is n wide kerchief
nfTuin edged with n tiny ruflle, which
' extends to the svnist line and spieads
out toward the arm lioles, leaving a
vest effect of the dress in front. Then
instead of stopping nt the waist lino as
most collars do, It continues down the
side of the skirt, nnd forma nn apron
jnst over the knees, the apron nnd bide
N, panels being in one piece. The seams
ran be made nt the uuist line, if neces
sary, where they will be covered by tho
snsli. With this disguise the dress will
look like an entirely different uffulr, and
it Is very easy to make, '

A Special aod Important Event In Suimmer
BnvoBving a Salle of 3489 CoBoniaB Rag
Rugs and Heavy Orade Orass Rugs at
an Average Saving of $3fy& Per Cent.
This manufacturer has been making these Colonial rag rugs for the past few
months for future delivery orders. The goods piled up and for lack of storage space
he wanted to sell quickly. We figured with him and the result is rag rugs at less than
most stores pay wholesale. These rag rugs are of the .old-fashioned kind, sturdily
woven on liand-looms by one of the oldest and most reputable manufacturers.
The grass rugs are woven on a heavy warp, and the colors are chiefly green,
although there are some blues and browns in the lot.
As an example of the worth of these rugs, take the 9x12 size at $9.50. We have
not seen this season as good a rug under $15.
The 27x54 inch grass rug at 85c is another example. We have seen a similar
rug selling for $1.75 this season.
This is an exceptional opportunity, anil so desirable are the rugs that prompt
action is advised.
Three selling spaces have been arranged for this sale. Part of the smaller. rag
rugs- will be on the center aisle, central section. The carpet-size rag rugs and part
of the smaller sizes will be in the regular department. The grass rugs will have a
special space on the west aisle. Extra 'Salespeople will be ready to help you promptly.
