The Testing of
Julia Grant
By HAZEL DEVO OATCIIKLOR
CuvvrUihl, 1)10, hv the l'ublio Ledoer Co.
ItKA!) THIS KIKST
Julia Grant is jilted tlirpp wroks
before her wedding day. She rom
into n hospital to study nursing mid
mpcts another man, Dr. John Nor
vlllp, who Intercuts her very much.
Tlion out of a clear sky linn Carson
conies back to Julia, and feeliiiK that
she still loves him, Julia Rives him
her promise a second time. It Isn't
until later that she discovers her loe
(or John Xorvlllc and then it is too
late The wedding day i approach -lntc
for the second time when Julia
discovers that her MiuiiRor sister
Lucy is in love with Dan, nnd a
few weeks before the wedding Lucy
tins a bad accident which lcsults in
brain Out. Julia doesn't want to
marry Dan but she feds that she
cannot break her promise and she is !
assured that he does not love Lucy.
xhen Lucy discovers something about !
I)an nnd decided to try to break off
the cnRaRcmcnt herself. i
NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY
JULIA, sitthig in the dimly lighted
" sittlnR-room with her fnther and'
mother, heard the door open upstairs
and then close. Footsteps began to
come down the stairs. It was Dan I
coming out of Luc.v'h room. The door
tood open into the hall and Julia called
to him. Ran stopped in the doorway; I
his face looked very white,
"Come in and sit down. Dan," said
Mr. Orant, putting down his paper long
enough to Indicate n chair.
"How did you leave Lucy?" asked
Julia. i
"All right," Dan returned, but he
made no move to come into the room. '
"I believe I won't star tonight." he
added. "I'm nil in: I think I'll go
home and get some sleep." He lin
gered a moment uncertainly and .Tulin
rose. ,
"I'll sec you safely off." sl- said,
trying to speak lightly, and with a brief
goodnight Dan preceded her down the
dark stairs. They paused in the hnll.
At the other end a dim light shone nut
of the back parlor. Mary was supposed
to light the gas in here every night be- I
fore dinner nnd to turn it very low.
This was so that if nnv one came un
expectedly it would not be necessary '
to hurry nround in the dark in senrch
of n match. i
Darkness with Dan had formerly .
been an exeuKo to draw Julia to him, ,
but tonight he stood stiffly nwny from
her and suggested that they go into the
parlor for a minute.
Once there he did not seem inclined (
for speech ; he sat in one of the red up- I
holstered chairs; his eyes bent down to1
avoid the light which, burning over
head, always threw n brilliance directly
into the eves. There is no softness
about a gaslight nor is it kind It
threw Julia's pure, colorless face into
plain relief, showing faint hollows be
neath the eyes. When Jian finally
looked up he saw that she looked very
tired. In a fit of desperation he began
to speak. Julia made no effort to stop
him ; she simply snt there with her
hnnds folded, listening.
"I have something to tell jou," he
said, sneaking hurriedly; "something
that I know you will be glad to hear.
Once, long ngo, T made a fool of my
self by telling jou that I no longer
loved you ; now I am sure that I love
jou, hut I am giving jou up. That's
something, isn't it. Julia?"
"I!ut, Dan," Julia began.
"Let me finish." he interrupted; "it
Isn't easj Tonight Lucy spoke to
ine ; .1ip said I had no business to
marry you; that you did not love me."
"ou knew that, Dnn."
"Yes, I knew it; but T thought I
could make jou love me; T was sure
of it; I Ioe you so much."
Julia was silent. There was really
nothing she could say.
"You want to be free, don't you; it
will make ymi happj ?"
Nothing would make her happy; Julia
knew that She felt as though she,
never could be happy again, as though
the life that swirled about her nnd had
drawn her into this vortex hml some-1
how taken away her peace of nuncl
forever Hut she did want to be. free;
she wanted to be free of the future
that awful future in which a married
life with Dan had agonized her with
its possibilities. Xo longer would she
wake in the morning from troubled
dreams to tnni niaiiKiies.s mac prcciMicii
memory Anil tlien wncn memory una
rushed' over her that horrible fear of
something unknown, that consciousness
of a relentless fate rushing down on
her. She could not believe that Dan
i was going to release her. She wondered
vaguely what Lucy linn tuiul to him to
persuade him to do such a thing.
She stretched out her hand to Dan.
Vaguely she wanted to comfort him;
his face looked so bojlshly miserable.
I He took the hand gently nnd held it
I palm upward against his check.
I "Julia." he said nfter a minute with
I nn obvious effort "I want you to an-
swer. Just one question. If nothing had
I ever come between us, if I had never
I done this thing to you. could you Have
I been happy with me really happy. I
mean did you love me eneugh for
I that?" .... I
I "Why, Dan. I think so; It's hard to
, tell ; hut I did care for you ; you know
that."
"Hut not as jou do for this other I
I mnn " lie hllrRt nut. flercelv. "With
him you're different. I've watched
ou ; I know."
He dropped her hand nnd turned,
nwav, his fnce working. "I'm going,
brought ciiiitigii
them and I have tried everything that
has been recommended to me, nnd
everything has been a failure. So please
advise me what to do to tret rid of
them. MRS C. V. K.
Hnvo you tried all the insect pow
ers on the market? There are some
very good ones that have been found
satisfactory. Try powdered borax, put
ting it In the places where the bugs
are mostly seen. He sure to keep your
sink dry nnd not to hnve wet mops
or dishcloths nbout, for that brings
them. Put alum or borax In the pan
under the refrlgcrntor and in every
crack that you can find In the kitchen.
This ought to extcrminntc them for
you.

The secret of making the new

T
H K materials for tall arc so e.quibitely soft and
velvety, so easy to make up at home. And
don't need pressing! Duvctyn,
the seams
for instance.
Your own dressmaker could not make anything
more gracefully perfect than the suit of duvctyn you
make yourself. But you must be as'careful as she in
choosing your spool silk. Examine a cheaply made
suit stitched with just thread. Hip; fuzzy stitches
pucker the seams. The whole suit is ruined.
Then look at a suit stitched with spool silk. Note
the look of expensiveness that smooth, perfect scams
can eivej
Your dressmaker knows this. She would have
chosen Braincrd & Armstrong spool silk for your
suit. She knows that it is pure silk, so strong and
elastic it cannot break under strain, so carefully,
evenly twisted it will not snarl. You will delight in
such a. perfect rpool silk.
