STAItT Tllfl STORY TODAY
pEATIUCE'S fnce was rntllftnt. It
- scemcil uplifted by something from
within. Gone wns the affected ennui
that Beatrice, had used that first eve
ning when she had wanted to appear
blae and world-weary, gone were the
bard young lines that had marred her
faca nt breakfast that morning. She
looked like n radiant young girl just
as sho was intended to look, natural
and sweet.
Ituth smiled Involuntarily into the
girlish face. Sho felt nenrs older than
Beatrice Moore, ccn the youth of the
late twenties has not that fniry talc
aspect that the youth of twenty one is
brimming over with.
"Something wonderful has happened
to me," Beatrice said softly, "some-
thliic so snlendld that I am ashamed ol
over being unworthy of It, Hint is wny
I hurried up here as soon as 1 couiu.
Can't you guess what it is?"
i t Ituth shook her head slowly.
"I'm engaged."
"Beatrice, not rcolly!"
"Yes, I am."
, "When did, this happen'1"
"This morning."
"To Boh Kdwards?"
Beatrice nodded Monh
"Can you be a little glad for me in
gpito of my having been so nasty?" She
Bpoke like a wistful child afraid lest
any one mar her blissful happiness by
being cross with her, no matter how
well deserved.
Ituth was all gladness, all response.
"Glad for you? Of courso I am. I
think it's splendid."
"You don't think I'm too young?
There was a question in this.
"Not to be engaged." Kittli returned
promptly. "Of course, you needn't be
married yet."
"Oh, but I want to be man led. We
want to wait six months and then hac
our wedding. Bob says we'll be sorr
twenty years from now that we wasted
any time just now. "ou'ie married,
Mrs. Uajinond, jou understand. I told
father jou would."
So this was whv Beatrice was being
no utter!) sweet, Ituth thought quiekl.
It was different now, ccrjthing was
changed since Beatrice had become en
gaged. She was no longer the poised
young leader of the jounger set with
half a doztn swnins swarming nround
her, she was just a woman, cry young
and unsophisticated and eager to be a
disciple of n girl not too much oldei
than she was., not too old to hae out
grown the impulses of jouth and to
have substituted common sense ns her
mother had
Ituth wanted to tell Beatrice to hold
m to her courtship davs with both slim
hands for tliej would never como again,
and although man led life might bi nig
greater experience, it also brought otlici
things, misunderstandings, little hurts
and most of all that fe.irful habit of
becoming too accustomed to onth other.
.Bob IMwards was a inqc boj, but an
'awful cub. He and Beatrice were iu
i love, just now they saw eich other onlj
at the most advantageous timet. Thcv
had not jet tiiid the experiment of
living together in one apartment, see
ing each other across the table throe
times a day, enduring together nil the
little petty details that bo stuccssfully
rob life of all romance.
When Beatnce iinnlly danced out of
the room, Ituth was sure of one thing
and that n- that Beatrice was no
longer hostile. This fact was a lclief
but in that face of other impending
things it somehow seemed small. There
was George Everett to be considered.
Ituth had started a little flirtation witH
him to punish Grace Lovett, but sdie
had no idea of making the boy fall
in love with her. This was tragic.
What had he wanted to say to her
in the hall? lie had said, "Let me tell
you how much I care for you?" Did
that mean that he wanted to toll her he
loved her? Had he any nonsense of that
nd in his head? Then there was Scott.
Ot only the wall of misunderstandings
at' had been erected between them,
t the fact that Scott might genuine!
re for Dot Salisbury, that bhe might
ve awaUened his feelings with her
,1 inty tricks, with the flattery of her
-SefprnpA fnr litm Tirnii if lia ,11.1 nnf
irAre for her deeply, the fact that Scott
might stoop to a flirtation with an
other woman, to perhaps kiss her, would
tear away all the trust and faith that
Ruth had in life.
Ituth in looking at the experiences
of any other young married couple
would have been abio to see more than
eho did In her own. She would have
. observed things impeisonally, Bhe would
not have been so quick to misinterpret
trifles, sho would have known that
where there is love and more than love,
thorough understanding, nothing cry
big can go wrong.
(Tomorrow, Ruth proves herself the
typical woman.)
Walt a While
Dear Cynthia I am going to ask jou
to please help me out of a difficulty I
can't imagine how I ever got into. I
care quite n bit (I am afraid to say "I
iovo") for n young soldier (twenty-'
one) and he thinks a great deal of me,
also his mother and father, who ha?
asked mo to dinner a few times and ,
aro just the dearest parents I know. I
often eny him because I liac none.
Since I came from New York nenrlj a
jear ago lie has been the onh boy that
I have stopped to think of, ns I niwt
go around erj much to mcit manv. He
is uu ideal man. 1 hae not found one
fault with him ytt.
He lins been kind enough to show me
Philadelphia and lie Ins kept me from
being blue many a time. He has nncr
said or done anything familiar or fresh
Ho has told me a few times that 1
"looked nice tonight," but nothing
inoie. AVhcn he pajs "good niht" he
holds mj hand a littl" tight, but I nooi
took am tiling out of it. He nlwins
spoKe to me in i "lug liinthpi win.
lie often told nip that he hoped I would
never go with or have anj thing to do
with the girls that ate alwovs looking
for kisses and of the hojs that ulc guN
fur tools. 'Anjhow, to get to the point
and mnkc a long storv short, we weie
both invite'd to a weik-end party Insi
week and both attended The last night
we all went on a moonlight on this
soman's jncht. 1 don't know if the
music nffected him or not, but he surelj
surprised me. He told me how nnuh lie
eared for me, speaking of the future
and told me he wns saving to lra me a
nice ring for Christmas. I didn't know
how to feel or w hat to s.ij w hen he told
me, so I ouh laughed and told him how
foolish he was and that I was too jouug
to even think of null a thing He felt
quite hint, but I could not help it. Al
though I Measure him I would not 1(11
him so. I don't think I toulil uire for
him or love him in another wa except
like it brothei. Please till u advise me
what to do, ns I feel teiriblv upset
about it. I don't want him to feel hadlv
about it, as he thinks now tli.it I urn
trying to break Ins heart.
NOT A HEAItTBREAKHR.
Perhaps you caro for this bov more
thin jou realize W hj not tell lnm
there is no one else, but that it is' just
that jou feel vou me too joung Ask
htm to keep on being pals with jou, but
jou must see to it that jou do not
upend us much time with him as hereto
fore, nb it nm't fair to him if jou nie
s.0 verj unci rtain as to jour feelings. If
in the course of a jejr oi so jou dis
covei vou could mvir cue Cipriousij
foi him it would be kinder to let him
know thnt definitilv , but in this case I
would not decide until I was sure.
Thanks for the flower, dear It was
sweet of jou to send it.
To Janet
A bpecial article addressed to jou
will nppcar on the page within tho
course of the next two weeks. So ninnj
girls' afe trjing bravcl, like jou are,
to be happv in spite of things, and a

More About Kissing
Dear Cvutlua Although 1 ant quite
voting and I nther inexperienced, still
I would like to make a comment
on the topic so much discussed heie
Intclj, ns to whv girls allow them
selves to be kissed bj everj man that
takes them out. I certainly disaguo
with these girls, foi I think it is a sure
nnd casv waj of losing one's self-respect.
Hut, after ull, whj put all the
blame on the girls'1' Are not tho men
showing lack of manliness when thov
attempt to kiss a girl after taking her
out, so ns to rcpnj him for the good
tune lie had shown her. I am so pur.
zlcd ns to whj o many men insist
upon doing this that I would appreci
ate it .cry much if any of our male
readers would enlighten me on the mat
