STAltT THIS STORY TODAY
SCOTT'S heart somehow rnljgavc h!m
as he and Dot drove up to the side
of the clubhouse and ho stopped the
car. It seemed as though he had fleen
Bono for n very lone time. It 6ecmed
too as though every one must know
What had happened and notild judge
J-,hlm accordingly. Hii heart leaped as
j he thought of Ruth. She did not seem
j 'at all like his wife, hut as tho m) uteri-
ous stranger who was just out of reach.
Of course he had loved her nil the while,
but what a fool he had been to take
L.. L.l I'Lnl fnAl nt.tr man

J was who took an attractive woman for
i granted, and Imagined In his foolish
heart that he could have a better time
With some one new nn.d fresh. Ho Im
agined as he went up the btops with
,Dot that he would find Ruth dancing
around In the arms ol that cub uvcrcu
who had dogged her footsteps every
f minute of the last two weeks. He quite
suddenly hated Dot Salisbury. She wns
lacking in all the forms of feminine
allurement, of little girl appeal, of fresh
charm that she had had for him at first.
He wondered how he could ever have
told Ruth that she was different, and
that she amused him. Why she was
the kind of a t;irl to amuse n cub like
Everett or even Kenneth, but not n
man like hinibclf who had married a
rinl trnmnn.
I Thi little knot nf dnwacers looked
tnlA.n.Arlllf nf li n t-lltllll OQ tllOV Htpll-
ptd upon the vernnda. Several
looked at each other and nodded, with
an "I told you so expression," but Mrs.
Moore with wise eyes on Scott's face.
saw something there that brought her
understanding. Ibis wag not a man
enjoying himself with a casual flirtation ;
there was concern and worry on this
man's face.
The chair In which Ruth had sat only
a few minutes ago was now empty.
Ruth had left it with an impatient toss
of her head and Mrs. Moore did not
know where she had gone. Things wcro
certainly going all wrong. She was
watching Scott and Dot Salisbury close
ly, and suddenly she saw Dot fling Scott
an angry little look and disappear into
Ji hnllrnom. Through the wimlnw Mrn.
(Moore watched her walk across the room
and immediately become the center of a
group of joung people.
Scott stood irresolute for a moment
after Dot had left him. He, too, saw
the laughing crowd within, and he saw,
too, In that quiet glance, that Ruth was
not among them. She did not belong
among that crowd of fluffy creatures in
their cornflower blue, their shell pink
and their golden jellow ruffles.
Suddenly he wanted to get away from
It all, and he thought of the pier. Out
at the very end of it he could be alone,
alone to think what he would do, and
like a shot ho was down the steps
and striding down the gravel path that
led to the pier. He walked more slowly
after he had gained it. A heavy mist
had como up and almost hid the very
end of the pier now. It was like
treading on velvet ns one advanced into
the smothery white vapor that seemed
to awirl up from the darkness of the
waters. Then quite suddenly ahead of
him a figure sprang out of the gray
gloom, a woman muffled in n coat. She
was sitting on the railing looking out
to sea ana sue apparently had no idea
that any one was approaching. Then
she turned her head and saw him. They
were quite close now and Scott could see
the woman's face. It wns Ruth !
She did not show any surprise, and
he stopped and looked at her and she
looked back at him. It seemed like a
lifetime that they stared at each other,
but In realty it was only a few min
utes, then Scott sprang forward and
drew Ruth down into his arms. Her
face against his was cold, but her
lips were waim and she was responding
to his kisses with murmured, endear
ments, and caressing fingers against his
throat and on his hair.
. It was a moment snatched from Fate,
a moment that Ruth would have been
glad to suffer two weeks for, a mo
ment In which were dissolved all mis-
ndcrstandings and which seemed to bo
ncnlng forever that perfect under-
Unding toward which we are all striv
ing, Uf course it was only a moment,
head lay hours of darkness for both
uth and Scott, but now as she lay
in his arms and be held her close there
emed to be nothing iu the future that
really mattered.

Adventures
With a Purse
ASK nny number of people what their
views arc of the Ideal dres for a
business woman, and they will tell you
that is, nine out of every ten of them
will tell you that they like to see her
in a trim-tailored suit. There Is some
thing very smart in the tailored suits
which hare recently been adopted by
our women. I refer to the so-called
sport suit. Not only have I made up
my mind to have one for the fall I
have gone even further, and have taken
advantage of a remarkable sale one shop
Is having, and have bought one for
$29.75. And the tag bears the original
price of $35.75. You will Bee from this
that this Is quite a reduction. The coat
is rather long and fits snugly with tight
sleeves, while the skirt has patch pockets
and is gathered In the back. You can
get these suits in a number of colors,
all of them good shades. 1 feel very
much dressed up In mine.
And then, of course, if you decide on
n sport suit jou will want a tailored
waist or two to wear with it. So
you will want to hear of the waists I
aw- in a nearby shop. One style has
n high collar edged with n tiny pleated
frill. The front lias rows of fine tucks
and a pleated frill runs down tho middle
of the front. You ran always tell a
good waist by tho cuffs nnd buttons,
and so jou would know nt n glance flint
this blouse was never meant to be sold
for the remnrknblp price of $3.90. It
is a very easy matter to believe that it
was first priced at $7. GO

It would be difficult to teach you the

you could get what you are looking for
in the Public Library at Thirteenth

then sponge with peroxide of hydrogen.

A Beverage That Was Discovered
More Than 4600 Years Ago
The exact date when Teas were first used is to some extent more
or less conjectural. We do know, however, that an ancient Chinese
wnter -referred to the Tea-Plant as far back as 2700 B. C.
In all those centuries its charm has never failed wherever man
has had knowledge of its virtue.
It is the beverage supreme, the always harmless, and yet
never failing to satisfy drink, enjoyed both by old and young
Our exact knowledge of the Tea-Plant, backed by our years of
experience as to what the American people demand, coupled with the
fact that we are direct importers guarantees to you the biggest Tea
Values to be had anywhere.
There is a big difference in Teas judge ours in the cup.

Will Open Its Doors Tomorrow
In the Down Stairs Store
One of the most interesting spots in the Wanamaker
Store is this series of seven rooms newly built in the Down
Stairs Store. The rooms are of average sizes found in cot
tages and apartments and their object in life is to show you
how delightful such places can be made without a great ex
penditure of money. It's such a cozy, homey place that it will
set you singing
"Oh, to Jiavc a little house,
To own the hearth and stool and all "
as you go from living room to cheery bedrooms, from dining
room to shining kitchen. Each room is completely furnished
in perfect taste, yet with a careful eye to tho dollars and cents
side. Everything is good, through and through, furniture to
be lived with, pictures to be enjoyed, bowls and vases to hold
the flowers you love.
Such rooms as these we count of inestimable value to the
new homes so fast being established in these after-war days.
Suggestions abound, and a woman will see on every side
pleasant ways of adding charm and beauty to her own home.
Everything is for sale (the furniture at August Sale
prices) either in the Down Stairs Store or in the Upstairs
Departments devoted to such things.
