dressmaker, as chief dtsigner, and

but thus far neither Diana nor Julian
has been able to took on any ope
with seriousness.
IN THE meantime. Julian had seen a
BTe.it (?eal of Jtortensn lvol!. Ho
oft'on wondered nftcr he had been with
Iter Just how much he really did care
for her When tie could separate all
the elements that went to make up his
feellnp for her. It certa'nlv did not seem
llko love, not the love he had wanted
and dreanvd of having, not that which
would sweep him off his feet. And yet
lio did admire her more than any worn
nn he had met for a verv lone time, he
admired her even while he disapproved
of her Ideas of life. He did not know
it. but he hoped to change those Ideas
of hers, to bring them Into accordance
with his own.
Somet'men he wondered how her face
would look lighted up with feeling, the
violet eyes warm with something she
could not control with her Ideas of
logic and analysis. Much of Julian's
feeling toward Hortense was curiosity,
nlthoiich he would not hae put It that
way himself.
"Aro all economlcallv Independent
women as cold ns you are?" he asked
her once
"Cold." Hortense had repeated after
him "Why Ttnnot cold "
"Yes you arojT-ou'r,. co),j nntj nnnlyt
leal : you couldn't do anything on your
own mind llr.st You Unn that's true."
"I didn't know, hut perhaps you're
right," Hortense had said rather
thoughtfully. It was the nearest she
had ever come to agreeing with him.
One n'ght they had gone to the theatre
and Julian had never remembered hav.
lug a better time. They had walked
hom afterward, but when they were

Little boys will get dirty, despite
the fact that mothers kiss them good

it is true "boys will be boys" and

they abound. I know of some very

within two or three blocks of the apart

Thoy scurried though It hand In hand
llko two children nnd arrived at the
apartment Hushed and laughing. Wisps
of hair had blown loose under Hor
tense's wide hat, she looked almost
lovely and going upstairs In the semi
darkness Julian had slipped his arm
nbout her. She did not repel him, but
Julian felt tho action somehow flat
lie felt In her that curiosity, that Im
pulse to experiment, that he himself felt
toward her. It robbed the little In
timacy of any of' Its delight He knew
at that moment that Hortense was
wondering what he would do next; sh3
wun tint rnrrlnd nwav with fltnir frt-
hlm, she was not In love with him, no:
In the slightest.
Julian was going through the samo
phase of emotion that had seized Diana
after Glcaves Maltby's proposal. Ho
wondered why. when he liked Hortense
so much, he did not lovo her. he won
dered whether or not he was capable
of this rreat emotion, Just as Diana
had wondered when she realized how
much she cared for ('leaves and yet how
Illtlo he moved her. Both D'ann nnd
Julian had taken a big step when they
had separated, and yet that romanco
which meant to much to both of them
cannot be wooed. Sometimes It comes
when It Is least expected, slipping In
quietly nnd surprising every one with
the charm of Its presence.
Although Julian still valued his
friendship with Hortense he did not
cnln make any attempt to caress her.
She did not stir his pulses Iri the least,
and yet he had never liked any woman
better. She was such a good pal, such
n splendid comrade It wan the nppenr
anco of nnother man In Hortense's life
at this time that opened Julian's eyes
ns nothing else could have. It made
him humble, and yet it gave him con
fidence through added experience. He
vas lod then, if he never had been
glad before, that ho and Hortense were
uch good pals for she came to him
i'ke a little child with her troubles
nnd In a way he was nblo to make his
friendship for her a big thing, some
thing she clung to and trusted when
she needed It sorely.

About two months ngo we hud .1

On entering the dnnce hall we dis

she had finished dancing I went over
to her and nsked her why sho went in

This started our quarrel and cnused
the break in our friendship, although I
escorted her to her home after the dance.
Now, dear Cynthln, I haven't seen
her since thnt time, nnd as I really
love her. plense tell mo what I can do
to gnln her favor again. JOEL.
Telephone to her if possible ; If not,
wrlto. Tell her you wnnt to come see
her it she'll let you, that you wnnt
to J friends ngaln. Apologize for
qunrrellng and perhaps speaking rudely.
But If she does the same thing again
you would be wiser to drop It nil. If
you took her to tho dnnce she should
have waited for you to take her Into
the room ; It was not polite.
They Criticize Fair Sex Too Harshly
Dear Cynthia I hcurtlly ugreo with
' (hose who condemn tht habit that many
1 vlrN havet of oerreachlng modesty nnd
displaying themselves In truly vulgar
t lothos I notice thnt most of the writers
nn this topic sav that they meet such
alrls In dnnce halls. I hardh think
they nro Justified In criticizing 'lie fair
.-ex so harshly that they meet there, for
the helte'- class of people are not found
in nubile dunce halls.
Our young people of today ised,to
! ln'n the lesson that the vefy best kind
i nf amusement comes from enjoyl'ig one's
wo'k and from higher diversions than
I dancing. I freoly confess that I 11m
1 itreutly opposed to the modern forms of
! tlacre. Certainly those who invent such
dances nre not men of pure nml noble
minds. Rather nre tliey or nn enilieiv
dlffirent type I think there nre many
forms of the d.mci that nre perfectly
harmless and afford wonderful rccrea-
1 Hon but the latest Inventions of that
art are demoralizing and insgrncerui.
Regarding the use of paint, it seems
to me there Is a psychological limit to
the cr.leut to which a woman may fix
up herself. Personally I think a llttlo
fixing adds nuich to tho appearance of
n wontnn, hut when It comes to the
lavish uso ot paint and the enameling
of the nose, gentlemen enow nt Oneu
lhat such a woman has lost respect for
herself, so whv should we have any for
her'
If voting people would only think
many times before the net tnere
wo ild not be so much criticism made.,
nor so many unpleasant experiences

Two Minutes
By HERMAN
Take Em All Along
WHILE at a country fair, I once saw a farmer trying to fet a free peep at a
prize bull that wtrs being exhibited for an admission fee of ten cents.
In the.midst of his getting an "eyeful," the gentleman with the rubber neck
waB suddenly yanked up sharply by a "barker" on the outside.
"You look like n prosperous farmer," reprimanded the man with the "bark,"
"Why don't you pay your ten cents like a man and get a right view of the
animal?"
"Well, I'll tell you. why," replied the farmer. "I enn't afford to pay the
entrance fee because I don't go anywhere unless I can tnke'evcry member of my
family with me. Just nt present, I have ten sons, seven daughters, my wife's
mother nnd my wife, nnd I enn't nfford 'to tnke them all."
The "barker" was taken back for a moment.
"It sounds reasonable," he said finally.
Then :
"I'll tell you what we'll do," he suggested ns n sudden Iden enme to him.
"If you will collect every member of your family and stand' in lino in front of
this tent for five minutes, I'll let nil of you go in gratis nnd look nil you want
nt the bull !"
The offer wns nccepted.
No sooner had the farmer gathered .together his clan thnn the "barker"
announced in stentorinn tones the arrival of "the only living man this side of
Mason nnd Dixon's line who has seventeen children, his wife nnd his wife's
mother living with him nnd takes them with him everywhere he goes!"
Immediately n multitude collected.
Thus demonstrating thnt In these dnys of little or no families, a man with
seventeen children, n wife and mother-in-law wns reully much more of a curios- '
ity thnn n prize bull !
And he wns a greater curiosity for another renson.
For even if lie did try to tnke a free peep nt the bull, he wns really n fine
fellow. Tor he had made it n rule of his family life to go only where he could
take his family nnd to stuy out of places where he could not take his family, "
And if every fnhilly man adopted this ns n principle in his domestic life,
the average American home-would be a lot more wholesome place, there would
