Constance Loring Diana and Julian Long, after three years of married life, decide to sep arate Theirs has been o morHnpe based on a friendship of long standing, and they had mlised thi bin thrill of life Immediately after thv divorce, Diana, determined not to allow Julian to provldo for her, takes a position as chief designer with a faihlonable drtssmaking establishment. After a time both Julian and Diana meet other men and women and mole Interesting friendships, but romance does not put In an npptornnce. Dlnno's friend ship with Oteaves Maltby, a wealthy loldotrer, and fuKtin'i friendship with llortense l.evell, n successful business U'omon, bring neto elements tnto the Ilvrs of both, but not lot'e. JULIAN" did not see Hortense for sev oral days, BJid then ono morning he received a note from her telling htm of her engagement to Dill McOraw. "Jano nnd I are giving a little dinner on tho twentieth." she wrote, "ana we want you to come. I am anxious for you to know Bill, and Constance Loring, a girl I knew in college, la In town now. so I nm asking another mnn. We ought to have quite a gay little pnrty" Julian carried homo two very Btrong Impressions from Hortense s dinner par ty. One wai his impression 01 uiu . Oraw and the other one of Constance Loring. Hortense had seemed to have an almost uncanny brilliance about her thnt night. She flushed old sparkled, and there was that look In h-c eyes thnt women wear when under a p'rong emo tion. Dill McOraw wns big and heavy set. and with n certain attraction about him that even Julian admitted. Ho was evidently used to dominating women and Julian saw that his feeling for Hortensn wai based lantely or. the fact thnt her type was strango to him. It was Inter esting to watch them together. As for Constance Loring from the tlmo when Julian had lUst mot her etrango light blue eyes, ho tvid been In stantly attracted by her. She was tnll and very slim with black hair which grew so thick on her head that It seemed almost t"o heavy for her slender white neck. She was very graceful, escry movement was a delight to watch, and afterward, when Julian had walked back ... 1...- t.nt., .il hni. lhv nnrl liftnn drawn together by a common Interest in Hortense, "Wo wtrn exeat friends In college," n 11 ri 1, Mi 1-1 ,., -. ..-,. - Constnnce explained, "and ,1 havo always been fond of her.

"He'll dominate her. she won't have any Individuality left." "Hortense needs to be dominated ; sho .?. thought for herself too long. She will glory In giving In."

It way ""Ji mere was real mirth In It. it reminded him of another laugh, Di anas. "Hortense la giving up her work," Mlsi Loring went on. "Xot really?" There was so much r.urprlie in Julian's voice that Constance turned to look ut him. ' ,'A"e you so surprised?" she asked. Most women give up their work when thoy aro married." "But not Hortense. It'u a shame to nsk such a thing." They had reached the entrance of the hotel and had stopped before It. Miss Loring held out her hand. "You don't understand women very well, do you?" she (aid, smiling at him. If you hart a wife I am sure you would not want her to have a Job outside the home. "I should want her to do what made her happiest," Julian said firmly. He knw this was true because he had proY.d lt; Evidently Hortense had not mentioned his marrlago to Miss Loring. bho held out her hand suddenly and said gpod-nlght. "Come and see me while I am In the olty." she said llghtl. "It's been an Interest'ng evening." And then she had slipped away with that Incredibly graceful movement of her. leaving Julian thoughtful and un romlnced Tomorrow A Woman Way Making More Money A Quentlon of Costnme "I wish to heaven I could collect that hill that E'mlth has owed me for tho past six months. It would practically put me on my feet. But there'll not a chance. Ho doesn't pay any more attention to bill collectors than a woman would to i.i years nat and I can't afford to 1 ,, -. . 1 ue mm, because that would mean that none of his friends would trade her n future." Most people, overhearing a statement ol r this 1 kind, would shrug their ahouMen and think nothing further of It But to an Indian girl In Miami, Okla.. It presented a possible opening for a unique M '.ucratlVo method of making a good ,.."r.ri!lrlf F'ower." the girl In question, was th daughter of an'edufaated Indian, fane had mada application for a position at tho Rtore of the distressed merchant und had been Informed that there was no opening at that time.

"The first time I called I wore 'civilized' clothes and was .rebuffed. The next time I wore my Indian costume and casually Informed the neighbors of my mission. My third call was ray last, for I was followed by such a crowd thai Mr. Smith did not dare refuse me. The sami method will work with equal ease on others." It did and Prairie Flower never has to make more than one call In her "war paint" to secure the payment of past due debts. What's more, her commis sions give her an excellent Income.

I can't seem to seo lt your way; also I'm from Missouri. Eh I what I DISTnAlT. Cynthia rather doubts that you aro a man. If you were you would know that man likes to do his own seeking. And It Is always a mistake for a woman tr, seek a man, obviously. Of course, If xho Is wise she will bring things about to put him In the way of seeking her; but also If she Is wise she will, never lot him or any one else know. A man likes to find out for himself that he loves a woman. He Made Her Angry Dear Cynthia I have read "Mr. Never Lonesomo Man's" letter and, oh t his letter made me mad. "Mr. N. L. M" you are knocking tho girls from Pennsylvania, New Jersey nnd Now York. I'm a girl from New York, and I hate to have n stone thrown at me because I'm from New York. New York girls are just as good and Just as pretty as the clrls from New Kncland. and Just as sensible, too. And I'm quite sure tnat more than half of us girls are not looking for a "meal ticket" for life. Wo want a man to give us a home, of course, and a "happy home" for life ; but nowadays Its hard to nnd one. There might be one out of a thousand ; and that's hard to tell. You say you are a southerner. Well, you nro a very poor Judge, I think, about the girls In or from Pennsylvania, New -Jersey nnd ruerw lorx. remaps you were oui wun silly girls and that's why you Judge us all the same.

He's Married Dear Cynthia Will you please tell me what to do and how to act In the follow ing case: I am twenty-four years old and love and respect a man forty years of ago who Is good and kind to me and of good chaiacter and family. He seems to care for mo and wants my friendship, end Is employed at my same plane of business. Ho told mo Tf I had no steady com pany and cared to have him as a friend he would be pleased to take me out and would also llko to call on me. My fam ily has not met him, but ho seems anxious to meet them. I know he has only honorable thoughts and my good at heart. Dut the question Is this: He has not been living with his wife for ono year and Is not divorced, leaving her on ac count of her conduct ; and he does not expect to live with her again. I am anxious for his company and would like to bring him to our house to see me. Just how nnd what shall I do, or what could be done to hao our friendship complete, as I do not want to bo sepa rated from him? ELLA W. This man la not free and has no right to show you attention. Whether he In tends to live with his wife again or not Is his affair, not yours; but lt Is your business not to encourage the friendship of a married man. Adventures With a Purse FOR a long tlmo now, a certain little cleaning pad has been very popular, due both to its convenient and quick way of taking spots from dark clothes, and to Its reasonable price. It Is no bigger round than a fifty-cent piece, nnd is about three-quarters of on Inch thick. One dampens lt, rubs It on the offend ing spot, and, presto! the spot van ishes. This spot-cleaning pad now comes in an improved form, having n little stiff-bristled brunh attached to it. I would not be without one of these pads myself, and I can heartily recom mend it. Think of its convenience no bothering with n strongly scented clean ing fluid, no trouble whatever. Its price is twenty cents. It is said that a woman generally tells her husband everything. I am not prepared to discuss the accuracy of this statement. I will not even go so fur as to say that I agree with it. 'Rut this much I will admit, I am 'depend ing upon it for the success of this .ad venture. For I nm going to tell of n genuine bargain in men's thln&s, and rely on her of the gentler sex to pass along the information to her husband or "men lows. There is a shop that 1b having a sale of athletic union suits. Originally, I believe, they were priced at $1.75. Hut they have been reduced now to $1.20. The quality Is good, and, altogether, I believe that here is a real bargain. Embroidering dresses for the small baby is like taking three steps forward nnd two back. One never gets very far, for no sooner is the nttle garment tin ished, it -seems, than, behold, baby has grown past It, and it must be discarded. One way around this difficulty is to find little dresses th'ut combine daintiness and practicality. Madeira work dresses, for Instance, have all the beauty of hand work, nnd If one buys wisely one can get them at surprisingly low prices. I know of a shop that has cunning little dresses for babies for $2.05 and SU.35, the difference between them being ln,the amount of design on each. They come in a number of sizes, I believe, and are as dainty and pretty as they can be. Here Is a gift idcu, too, For Information, telephone Walnut 3000.

Human Curios The Peasant Empress That Tsu-Hsl, dowager empress of China, was of humblo birth can hardly bo denied. That was proven by the fact that her feet had never been bound and also by several Incidents which oc curred soon after sho entered tho Im perial palaco as one of the wives of the Emperor Helen-Feng. But, In splto of tho fact that sho had bocn born a peas antor, possibly, becnuso of It Tsu Hsl wan remarkable for her beautv and soon becamo a favorite, not only of the emperor, but also of the Imperial house hold as a whole. Two years after ehe had entered the emperor's circle of wives, Tsl-Hsi gavo birth to a son who, upon tho death of his father, flvo years later, ascended to the throno of China, his mother taking the title of empress of tho western palaco and ruling tho entire nation with a rpd of Iron.
