' " The Testing of Julia Grant
By HAZEL DEYO BATCIIELOR
i CosvTteht, sttt, in Fublio Jjtdqtr Co.
Where Julia Weill After Her Grilling Experience and
What Came of It
HEAD THIS FIRST
Julia Grant, a quiet sort c girl,
of an unusual typo of beauty, has
been engaged to Dan Careon nearly
n year, when sbn begins to worry
About a stradllv grow lug indifTcrenec
on his part. The wedding date lins
been set, but three weeks before she
ean stand the ngony no longer and
decides to nsk him wlint i wrong,
rioally .Tulin wrings from Dnn the
admission thnt he no longer loes
her that there is sonic one else, Al
though completely crushed. she
bravely renounces her claim. Martha
Blake, a friend, advises her to toko
up nursing. In the meantime Dan,
inwardly rejoicing at his freedom,
goes to Nancy Cromwell, the otter
girl, confident that she is his for the
asking. It dev clops that she has
only been playing with him and his
offer of marriage is refused.
THE great whlto hospital where Julia
was to take nn her trainlnir. trnmrtl
!with busy life. Julia ncvpr forgot her
flrst( Impression of it it was llXo be
ing one of a swarm of bees, with each
one working in unison for the bhc.
Later Julia was to realize her peculiar
nptituto, for nursing, her sjnipathy, her
patience the necessary qualities for
any successful nurse, but just at first
ho felt the vc'rlest amateur at every
thing. Her fingers seemed all thumbs
and the frankness with which certain
subjects were discussed filled her with
embarrassment which &bc dared not
show 'for fear tho other nurses, cool
eyed, efficient young women, would
make fun of her.
Ono of the things that Julia liked
was the fact that no ono paid much
attention to any one else. There was
n sense of isolation nboUt her position
that was soothing to her nerves. The
superintendent, Miss Tully. a large, imposing-looking
woman, had no time for
sentiment. If she had known of .ifllia's
heartache sho would havo looked upon
It very much ns she looked upon bodily
ills, something unfortunate that must
bo taken care of and cured as quickly
as possible.
Some of the nurses thought Miss Tully
had no heart. Certainly she dealt se
crcly with any one who needed severe
treatment. There were certain thiugs
sho would not tolerate. Any infringe
ment of hospital rules was niwn.vs pun
ished most sevcrclj. Julia remembered
during her first wick in the hospital
how one of the nurses, n blondo prcttj
thing, who reminded Julia of Lucy,
had been caught sneaking out to n mowc
with a good-looking youug interne. Tln
girl had nearly lost her place on the
staff and Miss Tully was scathing in
her sarcasm. Tim mau had a good
time over the entire episode. It meant
nothing to him that pretty Miss Mcrritt
was starved for good times, and that
It meant romance, excitement to her to
steal off to tho movies. To him it
meant a pleasant episode with a pretty
girl and he knew very well that noth
ing wpuld happen to him even if it were
discovered. Julia could not help think
ing that tho state of affairs here in the
hospital was'ery much like the state
ir affairs in the world. A man could
ilwa8 escape entirely free and untram
neled, the woman aluajs suffered.
ANQTHitftH ARMING
BLACK DANCE FROCK
Juliu wore the legulntlon hospital
uniform a starched blun and white
striped dress nud an enveloping white
npron. Sho began to long for tho time
when she could wear all white nnd
perch n wlde-wlngcd cap on her beau
tiful hair. It began to be a goat with
her. something Jo llc for. She wan
assigned to wnrd dtitj and she did work
that she had never been nicustomcd to
In her life befor". When night came
she was so tired that she would drop
almost immediately into dreamless sleep
in which her tired body, aching In every
bone, would bo forgotten as well as the
thoughts that had been tormenting her
ever since that necr-to-be-forgottcn
night.
It was to be expected that Julia would
stand out among the other probationers.
Her beauty was of that rare kind that
nothing could hide, nud she was dif
ferent from the other nurses. Vor one
thing, she did not mingle with them,
Dhe did not talk uirreut gossip and she
made no effort to flirt with any of the
internes. This fact was the most as
tounding of nil to the other nurses, who
found it tho cosiest form of excitement
in a place wbero discipline was un
usually strict nnd rules were the only
thing thnt counted. '
But because Julia did not llirt was no
reason why she wns unnoticed bv the
men. They nil ndmlred her, even Doe-
tor Nugent, who wns so uiiusuallj good-
looking that every nurse In tin- nnv
pital secretly adoied him. He wajhud
Julia one day in the hall when she wts
cnrriug a largo tray out of one of the
rooms.
Julia stopped, balancing the henvy
tray carefully, nnd looked up at him'
inaulrincly. To her there was just one
reason for being stopped, that she was
about to bo told to do something. Julia
had no comprehension of stopping for a
few moments of idle conversation just
for the fun of tho thing; it simply
wasn't in her.
Doctor Nugent had n mop of curls
on the top of his hend He whs re
splendent in crackling white duck, and
he wasu't averse to a flirtation with flii!,
little probationer, with her reddish-
black hair that swept away from u
rather low forehead, her magnificent
c)cs with the thickest .lashes lie had
ever seen, and her curbed child's mouth,
lie made no effort to take the trnj.
Internes are not supposed to perform
.acts of gallnutrj for nurses Nurses
aro simply supposed to make them
selves agreeable, and the pretty oufb arc
always fair game and generally like It."
(Tomorrow Dr. Dick Nugent dis
covers a new tpo In Julia.)
your bead about girls "making" (get
that, boys) tho men como.to thorn. "Tou
might' think men were little innocent
boys who don't know whnt thcy'ro do
ing and tho first "doll" they seo they
fnll for.
Why I know for a fact, that the fel
lows joil seo with "dolls" are looking
for just such girls. You kuow an
ugly girl looks like a bad dream when
sho Isn't made-up nnd you will have
to admit when jou sco her all ready to
go out she looks good.
My dear Lucy, when I mako up I
don't use a brush to paint my checks
or whitewash on my face. I use rouge
nnd face enamel nud If my face looks
like a fright after I get through I do
it all oxer and make it look better. The
reason I said I pitied n fellow who mar
ries a "doll" Is not becauso Bho is
Undcslrablo or anything like that. It's
becauso ho will get to know her secrets
of make-up and tho poor fellow will
get mad nud lose his temper when he
has to wait so long for her to get
"dolled up."
I would like to shako bands with
Babs. Hho is the only ono who has
neno enough to stand up for us
"itnlln." There. Lucy, Is nn example, of
n girl who Is not a "doll" herself but
defends them because sho doesn't put
their faces upon their souls t Did you
read what sho said? Well think about
It and let mo hear front you nnd the
other readers.
What's the matter with the fellows
who go with "dolls." A DOLL.
Please Tell Me
What to Do

From One Who "Dolls Up"
Dear Cjntliia While reading your
excellent Evfmjto I'uumo Lkdcilu I
came across Lucy'sianswer to my letter.

My Dear Lucy I hae been uway in
New York or sou would havo heard
from mc sooner. When I cahie home
I went over all the Ledgers uu'd found
jour little saucy letter. My dear girl,
whj pity mc? I'm not deud or I'm
not a varuplre man-eater, so I sco
no cause for pity. As for my make- i

do a maximum of shopping at a minimum expenditure of time

appeal to every busy man.
The Clothing1 Store Is Lighted by Daylight
so that you can see the genuine goodness of the materials, the
care and skill with which the tailoring has been done. Here
every suit and overcoat is of pure wool and, by actual com
parison, we have found that the quality of clothing shown
here is not surpassed and seldom equaled elsewhere in Phila
delphia at these prices.
Soits for Meo and Youmig Mem
arc of fancy mixed cheviots, cassimeres and flannels. Young men,
particularly, like the 2-button, double-breasted suits that fit snugly.
Other suits of similar type are belted all around and some have waist
lines marked by a stitched welt. Men who like plain sack suits for
business will find a broad field for choosing.
Prices start at $27.50 (and these suits arc unusual) and go to
$3G.50.
Overcoats to Be Prood Of
open the cold-weather season with a snap. The materials are good
and'thick and warm, fairly radiating comfort and well-being. Lines
are what they should be, with a well set-up air about the shoulders.
Workmanship is thorough-going and honest throughout.
As to style, there are ulsters and ulsterettes with belted backs,,
convertible collars, roomy pockets and a general air of smartness.
More conservative are the Chesterfield models that many men prefer. For the man who drives his own car or is out in all
sorts of weather there are thick, warm ulsters that are lined from neck to hem.
Prices &tart at $25 and go to $40.
