Organ Playa at 9, 11, 11 :55 and 4:50 Chlmet t Noon WANAMAKER'S DOWN STAIRS STORE WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Unsettled m it m M w STAItT THIS STORY TODAY JANE came Into Ruth's Wo thiough Helen 'Townscnd. She was an odd little thing who might have been thor oughly fascinating but for certain draw backs. She simply did not realize her possibilities, nor play up to her attrac tions In any way. Until had been down at Helen's one evening when Jnnc came In. Her round face was flushed and full of life. When she smiled her eyes deepened and huge babyish dimples played everywhere in tier face. Her hair was short, but it was not the kind of short hair that Ruth had ever seen before. In Green which village there Is a fad for bobbed hair. Jane Knowles's hair was nothing like this. It was black and very curly unci Huffed away from a part down the Bldo which gave Jane tho most fas cinating boyish expression. Ruth fell quite In love with her. Jane did not como into the room ordinarily, she blew in, nnd the ex pression on her face was that of a naughty elf. "They've taken me on," she an nounced dramatically to Helen. ''Oh, my dear, that's splendid," Helen said heartily. "Come and sit down and tell us about it. This is Mrs. Raymond; she'll bo Interested." Ami so Jane proceeded to tell how the had landed the position of her heart, that of assistant In a publishing office. "You see," she explained to Ruth, "I lovo to write, and I have had a few things published, but I don't know the technique of the thing at all and I have been trying to find a Job where I can get what I need." "But to work In nn office," protested Ruth, "I tried It for a while, and It's deadly, the routine. Are you sure you'll like it?" Jane opened her eyes wide. "Why, I'vo worked In an office for three years," she explained simply; "this work will bo simply heaven compared to the dull typing I have been doing, and think what I'll learn." When she had gone U seemed as though a fresh breeze had blown out of the room. Ruth turned to Helen im pulsively. "Who Is she, Helen? Tell me about her; she's utterly charming." "Isn't she? I don't know when I hav.e met any one so naive and yet so far she has made an utter mess of her life." "n. T know vou're surprised, every one is who knows her; If she hndn't had ambition, I don't know what would linvc held her up. She has a baby to support, ou know, and she has been making fifteen dollars a week. This new position will pay her twenty, but, as you know, that isn't a great deal thee dajs." Ruth gasped. "Do you mean to say that that child has a baby?" Helen nodded. "Two jcars old. Do joii want to hear about her?" And that wast when Ruth first heard the story of Jane and it read like a i ii it;. Jane had been very wild a few jears ago. Slip would listen to no one who hied to gie her advice, and because she was n wild, joyous thing, every one who loved her knew that life had some hard knocks in store for her. Her great piece of folly cume when she eloped with n handscome boy who had nothing in the world but his looks, and who was shiftless and cruel to boot. Hut she was game. When any ono tried to interfere, to get her to admit that life had defeated her, she would (Ii row back her head with something of tho old defiance nnd laugh. She might bo defeated, she might be unhappy, but the world should never know, not if bhe could help it, and so she lived in miserable poverty witli the man of her choice, enduring all manner of degradation, for he drank and abused her horribly. Througti it all, however, she maintained something of her old manner, and it had tided her over until the baby came. Jane did not want the baby. Sho would -sit for hours with her hands held loosely in her lap, juct brooding. Near the end she did make some baby things in a listless fashion, not as 1 mothers generally do, setting in fine stitches with loving fingers, but in a helpless fashion, to keep herself occu pied. Jane was only nineteen at the time. Before the baby came Jane scraped together every cent she coulJ and went to a hospital. She had a horror of having the child born where its father lived. Jane tried not to think of what, would happen when her short hospitajl term was over, but mercifully the wf I rarae, and before Jane came back ns husband had beon caugni m w "'-" Weak and ill as she yki, with no money. Jane felt some of the old ox Sutton return to her She was free! To be sure, she had the baby to support, w there was no one to bully her, no onl t? ferrK her with rough words and rougher blows.
