alter Ruth crfma back from across the
hall)
& Scott began to urge him to stay, but
ho refused. "I'd like to, old man, but
I have some work to finish."
Ruth was radiant again. How splen
did, things were working out all right
after all, now the Whltmorcs could
come In and everything was splendid.
They stood in tho doorway chatting
together for a few minutes, when sud
denly the door opposite opened and Rita
and Dan came out. Rita made an effort
to draw back when she saw Ruth, but
it Was too late, and Rita, realizing this,
was too perfect an octrees to seem con
fused. She was beautifully dressed in
evening clothes. A long blue velvet
cloak with gray fox fur-trlmmlngs,
Swathed her roundabout, and her cloudy
black hair was piled high with a blazing
comb of blue jewels thrust carelessly
into" its waves. Dan was in evening
dress.
I It was Dan who spoke, trying to make
I his voice Bccm natural :
"Hello, folks, how are you?"
"Fine; going out somewhere? Gee,
rltltn. von look ereat."
r Klta Jnugncd that nlgn unsiy laugn
that was so melodious and fascinating.
She brushed by Ruth with a friendly
: little smile and the two passed down-
h stairs. Ruth's feelings were a mixture
of anger. and hurt pride, one was furi
ous at Rita, but she was more furious
I at Scott for acting as if nothing had
happened, when he had had a chance
I io show that he understood that they
1 tiadn't wanted to come over, that they
'had already planned to break the date
f before Ruth had gone across the hall.
It She turned to the men slowly and met
Gene's puzzled look. "That girl's face
! looks familiar," he said, wrinkling his
brow in an efforf to remember. "She
y certainly is some beauty. Well, I must
get along, folks; drop in on me soon,
h will you?" And with n laugh, he was
; Off. '
Ruth could hardly wait until she was
Inside to impart her fury to Scott.
"She Hed to me when I was over
there," she burst out. "She said Dan
hadn't come home yet, and he must
I 'hare been home all the time."
1 "He might have come In afterward,"
IWt la Scott.
'"He couldn't have dressed in that
(space of time. I heard Rita laugh or
thought I did before I closed my door
after I had been over there, but I put
nit down to imagination. I never thought
Ithe would He."
Scott slipped his arm through hers
and drcw her into the llvlng-rooni.
"Doritcare so much about it, dearest,"
he urged.
"How can I help caring? You know
how much I think of Rita, and the way
you acted, -too, just as If they hadn't
broken a date with us? You seemed
bowled over by her looks. Vou acted
as if nothing had happened."
"But what would you have had me
dox"
"You might nt least have shown thenj,
mat we lcit it."
"It wouldn't have done any good
Now, see here, Ruth, before you get
all overwrought about this thing, sup
pose you wait and see what happens;
cvcryining may oe explained away."
But this was easier said than done.
Ruth had formed a romantic attachment
for Rita, she admired her extravagantly.
she constantly excused flaws in her that
she would have heartily condemned in
any one else simply because she liked
her, nnd to be disappointed in her so
flagrantly was a terrible disappoint
ment. Shp. thought of this as she put the
dinner things away in the ice box nnd
glimpsed the plate of sandwiches that
Bhe had made that morning and which
were reposing damp nnd cool under a
wet napkin. She drew the plate out,
dampened the nnpkln again and put it
back, snapped off the lights in the
kitchen and went to bed with a hcart
nchc. She slept fitfully and dreamed
all night long.
The next morning when she saw
Scott off for business, she deliberately
closed the door ns she glimpsed the door
opposite open. Then she waited ex
pectantly for a ring of the bell nnd when
none came she was nervously angry.
She forced herself to go about her morn
ing tasks so as not to think of what
had happened, and when the bell finally
rang and she went to the door to find
Rita standing outside, she was so glad
to see her that she almost forgot the
Incidents of last night.
Not quite though, and her manner
showed it.
"Aren't you going to let me come
in?" said Rita, purposely speaking like
a child that has been naughty.
Ruth opened the door and maintained
a dignified Bilcnce, while Rita went into
the sunny living-room and curled up in
a corner of the davenport. She wore
her embroidered coat and her wonderful
hair hung about her shoulders as usual.
Ruth realized as she looked at Rita
how much she was enjoying the cosy
intimacy of having Rita run in like this,
of gossiping with her on subjects inter
esting to both of them. If "she quarreled
with Rita these good times would end.
Perhaps, as Scott said, there was n
tood reason for everything that had
happened.
MRS. PETTIT PAID
$500 A MONTH TO

Philadelphia Woman Seeks to
Break Contract in Suit
Started in New York

How 'a rich Philadelphia woman
bound herself to pay $500 n month to
an automobile salesman for acting as n
companion and escort was brought to
light in New York when Mrs. Knthcrinc
Howell Pettlt entered suit yesterday to
set aside the ngrccment.
She Is the widow of Horace Pettlt,
former member of the Union Lcngue,
the University, Rnrquet, Art and Hunt
ingdon Valley Country Clubs. She Is
now staying at Greenwood Lake, N. X
The man holding the lontract for the
position as companion-escort is George
W. Boyce.
According to Mrs. Petit, and con
firmed by the contract terms, Bojce
bound himself .October 3, 1010, to act
ns her escort to dinners, theatres nnd
"other such social functions as she
might designate, to drive any of her
automobiles for her, to take tare of and
Ball for her any boat or boats nnd to
perform an other 'services ns com
panion ns he might be required."
.AA the time Mr. Hoycc agreed to
spurn n position ns sales manager of
an automobile concern which was to
pay him $10,000 n year and in return
for his sacrifices Mrs. I'ettit promised
he would receive from her $iAH) n
month.
Mrs. Pettlt explained that the prin
cipal of the ttust nnd its management
were intrusted to the (lirard Trust Com
pany, through which pnjmeuts to Bojce
were made in accordance with the con
tract. The contract, declares Mrs. Pettlt,
was to operate for ten yeais, but on
December 20, 1018, and since then
Boyce has refused to perform any serv
ices required of him. The first intima
tion, Mrs. Pettit states, she had of
her companion's reluctance to continue
his form of employment was when she
asked him to drive her to Philadelphia.
He demurred, and when she insisted he
refused, she said.
Tho Pettlt home wns on Price street,
Germantown, but Mrs. Pettit has been
mnking her home at the Kltz-Carltou
when she came here. ,

question.

1 fussed around it, pretending that it

helped her with the dishes and saw
her kitchen knives. "If ever I hav6 a

A', Not Kind to "Couple Off"
RpDear Cynthia I wish to nsk you a
frery important question, and you will
'confer a great fayor by answering it for
Irjnej . ,
ii- Last week I went 'to a picnic with a
' party consisting oi ten couples, mere
was one girl with whom I was very in-
ijjfcdRate and with whom I was with the
jareater part of the day.
f - Every "time we were alone enjoying
iur!ves a certain fellow would come
vr to us apd, as I would call it, dls
f turb' our eniovment. I did not approve
f. (J bis disturbing us .continually e'ach

once and for all 1 would' tell him be

learned what I had told him, said I was
entirely wrong and thought I hurt his
feelings by telling hlra so, which 1
know I did not, according to the answer-
Mr. E. W. K.
There are two sides to this matter.
When boys nnd girls go off together for
a jolly picnic it is not polite for certain
couples to go away from the others for
the greater part of the day. It was not,
perhaps, exactly polite for the young
man to intrude where he was not
wanted, but don't you think it wns a
little mean of you to monopolize a girl's
time to the exclusion of all others?
What Fashion Says

black velvet, is used for summer suits.

Dr. Francis Barton Uuminere wns
buried yesterday afternoon in the little
Friends' burying ground nt llqverford
meeting, where his father, once presi
dent of Haverford College, was buried
before him.
In the drowsy bummer n!r, in the
hush and fragrance of that lovely cam
pus where he hud taught so many jouug
men the meaning and spell of Beautj,
the beloved teacher went to his resting
grave.
A company oT friends and former
pupils gathered at the home on college
circle to pay tribute to the brilliant
spirit that radiated such a gift of friend
ship. In the quiet service, conducted
in the manner of the Friends, there was
the solemn hush of sorrow at this trag
edy of sudden parting.
A letter was read from one of his
former pupils, quoting a passage from
George Meredith, which was known nnd
admired by Dr. Guminero himself. Dr.
Bufus Joues and other Mentis paid
reverent testimony to the spirit of the
educator.
One of Dr. Gummcrc's pupils bays of
him :
"It is true of Dr. Gummerc, as it is
true of every man who has served his
fellows, that his life is not brought to
an end by the old riddle which will al-
wajs remain n mjbtcry until vvc meet
it ourselves. Lover of poetrj, himself
a poet, he brought to his btudents his
own thrilling eujojnient of the .beauties
of the written and spoken word. He
made their lives richer by his vivacity,
his cndlesB patience, and the gentle
ness of the great bcholar who was never
too occupied to share his treasures of
th mind vv ith the humblest tyro. There
is none of his pupils that has not, since
the news of his death came, turned over
some of the books that Dr. Gummere
first introduced him to. Many of these
will recall tho old line, o one of his
vell-lovcd ballads:
'"I'm weary wi' hunting, and fain
would lie doun.'
"The great teacher has lain down iu
his resting grnvc. For that quick spirit
a slow descent to the tomb would have
been intolerable. He died, like the
Stevenson he loved, in the full bright
ness of his powers,"

"We meet all sorts of new ideas
among the applicants," said Doctor
Farson, head of the domestic servant
department of the IT. S. Employment
Service, 258 South Twelfth street. Doc
tor Farson believes that both the serv
ant's and the housewife's sides of the
question must be considered before the
problem can be solved. She sees both
advantages and difficulties in the plan
for unionizing domestic servants.
"While $18 a week, even wdth the
