Head this story nnd decide these piohlcms for yourselves. NOW fiO ON WITH TUB STOIlV LUCY determined to give her sister a real tnlklng to, hut when the time came she accomplished very little. Julia just looked nt her nnd laughed. "I don't think you're treating Dan at nil fair," Lucy flamed. "I'm Korry, dear." , , ... "You mean :iou wont marry mm.' "No, 1 don't mean I won t mam him. but I want to finish my trninliK jit the hospital." ,. "That's nil noil think of these days. t'WUcy taunted.

"I was awfullv unhappy, too, Luc, not so long ngo." "O, I know j on were, dear; forgHe mc for nagging iu. J did it because Hwaut voit and Dan to be happy. Quick tears stood in l.ucy s eyes ; sue looked like a sorry child. The two girls kissed and .Tulia went back to the hospital, but both kuew that nothing had been settled, .lulin 1-new. too, that Lucy's sympathies were with Dan She suspected that Dan had enlisted l.ucv to speak n his be half, nnd that fact annoyed her. It wts a question to be decided between them, nnd she felt that Dan hail broken faith with her to speak of it to l.ucy. Dan's action had accomplished two things. It had opened up a bond ot sympathy between himself and l.ucy nnd it lin.l made Julia's trust in him waver. . . . ... . Julia had grown to love u "' of the hospital; it had a clean antiseptic odor. She thought of the hospital n-j a great palace of healing any dread that she might have once felt o It through ignorance had long since, ce partecl She was off duty or the night, but as she passed Miss Tully's door, the superintendent spoke to her. "Miss Ornnt. Doctor Norville hns been looking for you. e need jou for an cmcigcncy case. , Julia nodded. "I'll W.t ready imme diately." And she hurried up to her loom and into Imr white uniform. hen c ret Si neVl to Miss Tully'.s office. Doc tor o rvillo wns there and be swung around ..r looked at her with that ap praising glance tlmt told her nothing of his feelings', owwr. Ho cave her directions. 1(" operated, but things aren't quite r right. We're short of nurses, or I shouldn t CajuTiaywen't up to the private room and slipped in. A night light was burn ing dimly, and on the narrow bed ln a slim figure. Some one touched her on the arm, and fche turned to sec Doc- t0 The"' were to watch this case through that be. the great surgeon, with his .,, , rlnver Pincers, had done tlie woik tmt she must wntch so carefu ; y. It was her first private case with him, and she was l,eed up in every nerc. mi. t..,i;.1 Htt1 scene with 1.UCJ Slip- -,,0,1 out of her mind. Her own private affairs seemed verv far away. in'ThJmmWt J..la It ids eyes upon her and the question wns n per sonal one. She shook her head. , "Give me jour hand." Tlifl tone was a command, , . He lifted the hand that hung at her side nnd took her pulse in silence, .lulin could feel the hammering of her heart. It seemed as though be must hear it, he stood so close to her. She fought a sensation of weakness that wns al most overpowering, mid it seemed that neons of time had passed when lie finally released her. They stood a mo ment' in silence, nnd then he left nl niptly and Julia sank into n chair iv the bed It was a stiange place for the feelings that were surging through htr feelings that were utteily mine countable. The close touch of his tui ctrs on her wrist, the note of command in his nice. the knowledge that in the darkness he had been searching her face with his impenetrable cjes. had brought to a clima the little feeling of shock that she had felt each time she had met his glance. What was the matter -with her; where were her feelings lead iiif her? She told herself over and over again that she had been working too hard, that her nerves were all on edge, but nothing could make her thoughts of him any different. She sat there in the darkness for long nioments, until' her patient, stirring restlessly, nwoke Julia to her duties, and she sprang up and began to move noiseless ly about the loom, working silently, ef ficiently, the perfect, well-drilled nurse, even while her woman s heart listened for the sound that would bring Jboctor Xorville back to her. (Tomorrow Tlio heart of a woman.) 0X1') more Halloween suggestion, and then, nerlimis. I won't make nny more this jenr. Although, I do not give my promise. Anyhow, here's the suggestion. I don't need to remind jou that Halloween is a very spooky occa sion. Well, now, one shop has card board skeletons, nbout fiftten inches high, with jointed arms and legs. One pulls Uin strings, nnd away jog arms and lega nt a' great old rate. These skeletons, costing ten cents, would bo lots of fun nt n Halloween party. I'm full of suggestions today! Here's another one, this time n suggestion for Christmas, and I might as well say right hero and now, that as I come across Christmas Ideas I am going to jot them down, and tell you nbout them. This is a suggestion for the friend who wenid daik clothe, particularly, geor gctte blouses of black or dark blue And my suggestion is, n dark blue or black cnniisole. They look ever so much nicer under dark waists than n light one. One shop hns a special sale of daik satin uiinlsolcs. They nre ery thihitj nnd attractive, and the prices hi gin at $2.50. You know they me geiicially quite haul to find. And then for the woman who wears light blouses of georgette, or line nin teilal, is there mo thing runic untidy looking than In sec two or three sets ot shoulder stinps from undervest, camisole, and, iiciliaps, binssierel fn (lucstlonnbb, she should wear lingerie clasps. The newest clasps are uncom monly dainty nnd uttrnctlve. They nre the regulation sbe and slinpe, gold llnishcd, but perching .snucllj on pneli clasp Is a tiny silk rose of pale blue or pink. They cost only sixty cents a pair. Coming down to n very matterof fact article, far removed from either camisoles or lingerie clnsps, if you are u caieful housekeeper, and possess n kill lien sink of gleaming white enamel. the appearance of that sink is n mat ter ni great pride to jou. Natuially j on lake the best of care of It. One thing which plays hob with the white enamel Is pots and pans. They will scratch the shining surface. Hut if jou were to use a sink tuck, jou would prexent this. You can buy n wooden rack for ten cciMs which will (It In most nny sink. And all pots and pans lest on this Instead of the enamel. A sink-rnck, then, nccoiding to my wnj of thinking, is n right good Investment. Tor iinmrs nf .linn nririrrti Woman',, Pace lUtor, nr pliono Vtnlnnt 3000. 3M !iX?3&g.Till A- S.
