Dan Carson Discarded Julia
Nancy Plays
II
HEAD THIS FIRST
Julia Grant, a quiet sort of girl,
of an iinuHiinl tynp of beauty, hns
been engaged to Dan Cnreon nearly
n year, when nhc begins to worry
about a steadily growing indiffer
ence on his part. The wedding dnte
has been set, but three flecks before
she ran stand the ngnny no longer
and decides to ask him what 1' wrong.
Finally Julia wrings from Dan the
admission thnt he no longer loves
ner that there li some one else. Al
though completely crushed, she
bravely renounces her claim. Martha
Blake, a friend, advises her to take
tip nursing. In the meantime Dan,
inwardly rejoicing at his freedom,
goes to Nancy Cromwell, the other
girl, confident that she is his for tho
asking.
THEN START THE STORY
rplIET stood regarding each other, the
two of them, N'nncy defiant and a
little afraid, Dan Carson stunned by
the girl's nttltudc. lie had banked
everything on her. He could recall a
hundred rensons why he had thought
that she cared for mm. He had put
down her reluctance the other evening
when his lovemaking had become more
Insistent, to her youth. Dan had known
Julia Grant, had known her well. Un
consciously he had formed his stnndards
of women from her. That n girl of
Nancy Cromwell's age could be so ad--mlttedly
a flirt with no finer feelings,
that she could allow n man to touch
her without feeling that it meant any
thing, was n revelation to Dan.
' 'jlThcn. jou don't oc me?" he said
finally.
She shook hr head slowly.
' VA wave of fury possessed him and he
took her bj the shoulders roughly. When
ihe'raised her head and looked nt Lira
through her long golden Inshes with the
look a girl, half-child and half -woman,
frightened and jit understanding, his
anger passed and he was all 1oei.
- "I'll make you love me, Nancy,'1
ho said passlonatclj , "only marry me,
and you'll see."
She looked up at him then, half
proudly. "I've promised to mairy Mr.
Whltmore."
He stared at her unbelievingly.
"When?"
"Last night."
"How long have you known him?"
'.'l'ou have no right to ask me these
questions, I " .
".' "Answer me."
-'Quite a while."
He released her so. quickly that she
.Staggered a little. He was beginning
to understand this girl now. She was
a" philanderer. She had gone to his
head like wine with her pretty wajs,
'which were so unlike those of the girl
he had pledged himself to marry, but
there was nothing about 1ier that wag
reL She playo'd with feeling; She was
Incapable of truth in it. Even now
he doubted whether she was in love
with this man Whitmbre, the nice sleek
hatred boy whom be had met the other
evening,
Nancy stood before him waiting to
see what he w'ould do. She felt like
a heroine of romance and In her foolish
little mind she had an idea that she
must l dangerously attractive to men.
The enormity of the situation had not
occurred to her at all. She was not
sorry for Dan Carson and she did not
even think of Julia Grant. All she did
think of was herself she had been en
couraged all her life to do nothing else.
She could eee her small face in a
mirror opposite and she tried putting
out a tentative hand to Dan with a
murmured "I'm sorry."
"Sorry, you're not sorry. You don't
think enough to be sorry about any
thing," he flung at her. He had real
" ized suddenly that there wasn't as much
disappointment in his heart as there
was hurt pride. His love for this girl
had departed when he found her inca
pable of such feeling for him. Hut it
was the fact that he had not made
sure before giving this girl a chance
to humiliate him l as she had that
rankled.
Her prettiness, her sweetness, her

ances are not the surest sign of this condition
that fat, rosy cheeks do not always go hand-in-hand
with a husky, normal body.
Only the scales will tell the story 1 For
under weight is the surest indication of under
nourishment. Just a mere 5 or 6 pounds below
normal is enough to class your child a full year
behind standard development.

Grant for Nancy Cromwell, and
the Same Game
little girl ways no longer appealed to
him in that whirlwind fashion whirh
had swept everything before It. He
seemed to think normally again for the
first time in weeks. He felt as though
he had been asleep and dreaming and
was just waking up, and strange to say
when he finally found himself In the
Rtrcct, the thought of Julia was upper-,
most. He walked block after diock
with his thoughts in a whirl, but oven
when lie finally went home and dropped
half dead with fatigue Into a heavy
sleep the last thing lie remembered was
the thought that .lulia was lost to una
forever.
When Julia told her familythat she
had decided to take up nursing, they
did not think of it -seriously. In fact,
Mrs. Grant was glad of any Interest
that might come into Julia's mind just
now, and she made no objections.
Lucy was frankly curious.
"Why nursing?" she queried. "Why
don't jou do something that would
bring In a lot of raoncj ? Nursing is
terribly hard."
Julia smiled her tired little smile.
"What could I do that would bring in
a lot of money?" she asked.
She did not add that the propcct
of her own litlc room In the hospital
where she could be alone would be
heaven to her and that the hardest kind
qf work was what she wanted to help
her forget.
(Tomorrow, Julia begins new work
and meets new people.)
TEACHER QUIT TO WED,
SCHOOL HEAD CHARGES
Norwood Official Adds New
Element to Resignation of
Miss Byers '
Reports that Miss Adallne Bjers,
who left her position as a teacher In
the Norwood school when her salarv
for the month of August was withheld,
is to be married soon were interpreted
jesterday by V. 1 Sims, president of
the Norwood school board, as the real
icason for Miss Bycrs's resignation.
Miss B.vers's salary for August was
withheld because she did not attend
summer school that month, the school
board contending that in this she
violated her contract. Miss Bvers
maintained her contract did not obli
gate her to attend summer hchool nnd
demanded her salary. When this was
refused, she resigned. The board would
not accept her resignation, but she left
her position last Fritlav.
"I have since heard that Miss Byers
is soon to be married, and that prob
ably is the reason for her leaving,"
Mr. Sims said.
The school board declined to accept
Miss Bjers's resignation because of the
language in which it was couched and
tho reasons it advanced for her action,
Mr. Sims explained.
An arrangement whereby the teach
ers of the Norwood school should at
tend summer bcliool was agreed on at
a meeting between the teachers and
the school board in April, 1918.

EYEING' PUBLtO
A SMART COAT
FOR DAYTIME WEAR
An attractive coal that could be
worn In tho afternoon or evening.
It Is In v clour with seal trimming
A Dally Fashion Talk b riorence Rose
"UR Ideas about coats have changed'
immensely within the last few jcars
Once our coat was simply Ihc outsldi
brown paper wrapper in which we wore
enveloped. AVhcn we anived at a tea
or reception or luncheon or dinner jmtv
we made a sort of duck foi cover with
out permitting any one to stop us. In
fait, it was rather bad form to stop a
friend as she entered a houw where
you both, met or to more than nnd to
her before she had a chance to divest
herself of her coat.
So t didn't much matter about the
coat. It could be just about like any
one else's coat for that mattei. And.
frnnklj , these winter coats of otlur dajs
were ugly; The only time thut thty
had any appeal was when they weio
made of beautiful fur, and then the
appeal was simply that of the pelts
themselves. As far ns desigu or cut
went, the coat was still lather hopeless.
But now tho well-dressed woman is
just as exacting when it comes to buy
ing a coat as n frock. Her evening
wraps are as Important as her eveniug
frocks and frequently cost ns much ns
her frocks. And the coat that she wears
in tho afternoon must be n thing of
beauty in itself. In the cut you maj
bee the sort of coat that smartly dressed
women arc Selecting. It is quite n dif
ferent proposition from the heavily
built tweed coat that would be worn in
the morning over a suit when winds
grew penetrating in an open motor.
And, likewise it is quite a different
proposition from the evening coat which
is usually a loose wrap of brilliant col
oring. For afternoon the well-dress-M
woman would choose some one of the
new brown shades or taupe or soft blue.
This model is made of velours enhanced
with ricE embroidery and decorated with
rows of buttons. Seal fur is used with
something approaching lavish ncss on the
cuffs and collar and to trim the peplum
in theback.

Beautiful Hair Makes

Girls! Why not have beautiful hair?
Snappy, luxuriant and shinimering hair
adds greatly to any girl's looks. Begin
today to use Newbrcvs Herpfcide and see
how soon the improvement begins.
Jfetbhro's ICerpicide
will positively remove all traces of dand
ruff, stimulate the hair follicles of the
scalp and prevent falling hair. Thous
ands of people report a wonderful growth
of new hair from its use.
Use Herpicide for a while in secret,
and see how soon your friends will note
the perfect luster, the natural sheen and
the genuine charm obtained by the intel
ligent use of Newbro's Herpicide. Her
picide has a very delightful odor. ' Do
you want lustrous and beautiful hair?
Use Herpicide now.'
About Alcohol in Hair Remedies
Every physician and chemist knows
the antiseptic value of alcohol and also
that practically every substance capable of bene
fitting the hair; or scalp requires a suitable amount
of alcohol as a solvent
The doubling of the U. S. tax on alcohol
($4.18 per goL) has caused a flood of watery
hair preparations, the repeated use of which may
cause harm unless followed by hot towels to stim
ulate the scalp.
Herpicide cannot be taken internally.
