Jane's wayward untidiness seemed childishly simple compared with Elsie's restless dipping into life. That night nfter tho climax iu Buth's own apartment, when Gene and Elsie and Joe had had It out to gether, Ruth had asked Scott to hunt Gene up after dinner that evening. When Bcott had arrived at the dingy studio where Gene worked, he had .1ound it empty. It continued to be empty in the days that followed. Gene tinrl nnnnrentlv rltsnilttearcd. It was Betty Lambert who reported this. She had known oil onout none s affair with Klsic, but liko n wise irnmnn nhn lintl mndn no nttemot to in terfere; she had known that would be np good.

Betty was the fact that she was such good sort to be with. Betty grew thin and haggard through worry. Ruth was worried, too, and she tried her best to keep Betty's jplrits up by being cheerful about ivcrythlng. "Betty, you know. Gene is too sen flible to do anything foolish," she trould argue. "How do you know he Is?" Betty would return. "You have no idea how much he cared." "Oh, yes I have; saw him when Elsie told him she did not love him enough." This would comfoit Betty vaguely. She wanted to hope that Geno was all right. That he had sim ply buried himself because he did not want to sei people until he had pulled himself together somewhat. This disappearance of Gene's cast an unmistakable cloud over both Uuth and Scott; they were able to thiilk of nothing else. It was the first thing that Ruth nsked Scott when he came In the evening, whether anything had been heard from Gene, and it was al ways "no." One morning, about 10 o'clock, the bell rang sharply three times. It was Gene's own ring, and Ruth rushed to tho door eagerly, hoping against hope. Imagine her surprise when she saw standing outside Bob West. Of nil people in the world the one she could least expect. "Why," she gasped and stepped back, "where did you come from? "I'm in New York on n business trip and thought I'd stop in and have a chat." Ruth ushered him In and he looked around appreciatively,, eager eyes on. me sott colorings, me artistic placing of tho few things in the big high-cell-Inged room. "Do joii like our place?" "Do I? Why it's .great!" he re turned, boyishly. "I suppose you're interested In the way this looks becnusc of your own home," Ruth returned. "Do tell me about it, and nbout .Inne. Of course you're awfully happy?" Did Ruth fancy It, or was It true that a cloud pasied suddenly across Bob's face. He responded so quickly that she hardly knew which it was. "Of course, I'm happy, and I think she is. Of course, we do things dif ferently out West from the way they do here in New York, and she has a lot to learn." Ruth wondered ngain whether Boh thought this himself or whether it wns an echo of something his mother had said. It sounded unlike Bnh; it seemed a somewhnt priggish remark for n man to mnke. Suddenly Ruth de termined to pin him down. "What no you mean, they no things differently?" she pressed. Ho flushed. Oh, you know, came after n silence, ".Tnne has done as sjie pleased, and mother thinks she isn't tidy enough." "What do you think, Hob.'" "Oh. I don't know. At first I didn't notice things, or else Jane was care ful, but now I can't help seeing It, I can't feel that mother is all wrong You sec I've been brought up differ ently, and I can't stand dirt, and Jane has such lovely hair, if she would keep it washed, and" his words dwindled out miserably, nnd he stopped aghast at having gone so far and admitted so much to Ruth. Tomorrow Scott brings Ruth a present. 1920 Model SLICING MACHINE The Incomparable Leader $175 Wf UHITED CASH REGISTER Co. 1217 Filbert St. Ph ?lJJMlgM CTT ' '""Wherv NyBabyGme WHEN they put that warm, fragrant little bundle into my arms and told me he was perfect", 1 cried. I was so happy. Of course, I was going to nurse him. And so I did. for two months. But he didn't gain weight as fast as he should.

"Of course, ho has to have milk in some form and NestleVispure milk only made easier to digest because the tough curdsarebroken up. To that they add just the right amount of sugar and cereal, so you only add water to Nettle's, boil it, and your baby has all the nourish ment he needs in the safest form."
