''Cinderella's
Daughter'
Iiy HAZEL DEVO UATCIIELOB
CopirloM, 1919, ti Pufcllo Ltdatr Co.
In thin chapter VirRinia West Is
Introduced to the render. As the in
stallments of this new serial by Hazel
Deyo Batchelor come out one by one
It Is safe to predict that, Virginia
will become ns well-known ns Hutu
Raymond and Jnlln Grant. The story
of her life and problems nt school
and nftcr she leavci school arc told in
thnt some bright style, and the full
BiKiiIficnnre of the title, "Cinderella's
Daughter." will come with the ini
folding of tho various Incidents that
make the story so absorbing.
rNE of the things Miat Virginia West
remembered most clearly about her
girlhood wns her meeting with Kathleen
Foster. She remembered it ns some
thing vivid, something colorful, and her
heart wns filled with an exhilaration
thnt was nlmost worship nt the time.
Kathleen was n born lender. Her
right to rule others wns Miowii In her
clear, crnv-blue eves the set of her
head on her shoulders, the long, beauti
ful lines of her body, nnd her laugh,
which was clenr and light, but never
seemed to have much mirth in It. From
her childhood she had ruled her mother,
her two brothers worshlnncd her, and
she gcnercllv did exactly what she
liked. To Virglnin. who wns shy and
not assertive. Kathleen wns nothinjt
short of marvelous. The ease with
which she did thititr. her sparkling con
versation, her gny, Impudent remarks to
the faculty, which were alwas received
smillnelv. everything nbout her was a
rcve'atiou to irginia.
Virginia wns n new girl In the semi
fashionable school where Kath'een was
spending her second year. Her shy
ness foiuht off the ndvnneei of the girls
who were rendv to be friends. They
did not understand that Virginia wnH
homesick nnd miserably unhappy, that
she had not wanted to come to this
plice, that she had been perfectly happy
at home. She had clung to her mother
at parting and hnd begged not to be
"Why must I stay, mother; why,
why?" he hnd repented over nnd over.
"Dnrllng. wo feci thnt it will do you
dfcood. tint you need to get nwnv from
, us, that jou need to develop independ
ence. Trust mother and sec if you don't
like it. nnd nt Chritmn if vou still
feel the Mime, jou shall romc home."
"You promise?" nkul Virglnin
feeling the justice of this, nnd inising
passionate dark eyes to her mother's
face.
"I promise," Mrs. West said seri
ously. At Christmas time nothing could
have persuaded Virginia to leave Pal
mertown. Of course, this was nftcr she
bad met Knthleen Foster.
That night after her mother had left
her, Virginia stood in the window of
the large reception room and watched
the automobile curve down the drive
and on to the road and then out of
Bight.
Suddenly n light flamed up behind
her and she tinned quickly. A rnther
Uglv woman, with grav hair strained
back from her face hnd turned on the
electric lights, and ns Viiginln turned
they looked nt each other. Virginia dc
flantlv. the woman not unkindly.
"What nre you doing here?" she snld
after a moment.
"Nothiiig." Viiginln returned, short
ly. "My mother just left. I wnsi
wntchins; the enr go down the drive."
The woman's face lightened. "Why,
you're the new girl. I'm Miss I'ntten.
Tou'U probably, be In my mathematics
class. Come nnd'be introduced to some
of the girls. There's an extra place at
my tnble; ou shnll sit there."
There was the opening and shutting
of n door somewhere near, and immedi
ately n soft hum of voices could be
heard coming nenrer and nearer. The
girls were coining down from their
rooms to the big hnll where they al
ways congregated each evening. Miss
Fatten, drawing Virginia along with
her. went forward to meet them.
There is nothing so cruel ns the judg
ment of a joung girl, because nlie has
not learned to judge by anything but
appearances. These girls were not
naturally cruel, but they gave a few
lightning glances in Virginia's direction
nnd decided thnt she was the quiet kind,
all right, hut just like a lot of others,
not to be depended on for anything ex
citing nnd new. Neither did they like
Miss Fatten, nud with n few mumbled
words nnd n nod in Virginia's direc
tion, they pnsscd on.
Virginia was furious. ' She wasn't
used to being treated this wny. It wns
In this fiame of mind thnt she lirst
met Knthleen Foster.

under her wing.)
Adventures
With a Purse
JF THINGS keep on as they nre going,
it's going to be a question of only a
very short time, when we'll be heating
our houses by wireless, or by some other
unheard of means. I enn remember
when there was no such thing ns nu
airship. But anyhow, for a while nt
least, we still will depend mostly for
warmth on coal and gas. Mostly, but
not entirely. For If you have electric
ity In your home jou can purchase a
small electric heater which takes up
very llttlo room, but which throws out
a powerful amount of heat. When the
fires begin to get low at night or In the
morning before, the house Is warmed
you will appreciate one of these little
beaters, which Ubes only live cents'
worth of electricity in an hour. The
price Is $7.
There Is a certain shop I know of
which makes a specialty of pearls, and
many and lovely are the shimmering
necklaces of glowing pearls which you
will find there. And just because it Is
approaching Christmas time, and be
cause you might have In mind pearls
for yourself from some one, or pearls
for some one from you, I thought I
would like to tell you about these. Of
course, you can get them at very largo
prices, but since this little column is
for her whoso purse Is slender, I shall
Mention the lovely string with a deli
cate pinkish cast for !?3,Sj, well matched
and sized.
Do you like to embroider? Do I bear
you say, "A little, providing the de
sign Is not too elaborate"? Well, now
if there's a baby In your family, and
t you are fond of cmbrolderlug, you
will love tha set I 'saw today. It con
sists of a Turkish wash cloth for
baby's smooth little body, a towel to
rub him briskly after his bath, and a
capacious Turkish "blanket" with
which to lift him from the tub. You
will find already worked on it a neat
border In pink or blue, and on each
niece is a tiny spray, which when em
broidered in colors, is most effective.
The price of the set Is $2.
' nave you ever seen the leather slip
pers and their rase which are so con
venient fo.- traveling? They come in
black or tan leather, fold exactly in
half, fit Into n little tenther case, and
'can be tucked away In tho smallest cor
ner, of your suitcase or bag. The set
costs $2.f0 an uuusual nnd welcome
Christmas gift.
