They had been toa restaurant dining, and Alice had h0Dned along and had seen them through window. The Uow was from .distance, but It had been sufficient fo convince Alice that her rlvul wm voung nd good-looking. She waited for Henry to speak of the matter, but he did not mention it. ' Tntsmuch as he had been engaged to Alice for a year. It would have been th proper thing for him to explnlu hlmiclf, she thought. Alice was willing to let It drop, only the very next day Jennie Qualtea, who worked with her In the shoe manufac- .turer'a office, came to her with a story of having seen Henry with "a very stylishly dressed "young woman at a ""Thin slie decided she must act. She taali n6 longer keep Henry's ring. He Ed Mien in love with another gin. Jnd his own sense of duty ws ; venting blra from stepping out of Alice a Mi That was tfic way Alice figured It.

Finally, in desperation, Alice sought the advice of hcr'nunt, who was worldly wise and versed in matters of the heart, having had three husbands and survived thim all. She found her aunt perform tor her toilet and making profuse Use of some crimson, pastellke substance which she took -from a large jar. "Making rayBclf young ngain. ex plained the aunt, rubbing the pllj -sub-itance Into her face. "This is Sylvia Hall's Carmine Crenm. which restores youth, banishing old age and wrinkles. You won't know me when I get made n I think I'll try my hand nt matri mony again when I hnve camouflaged the traces of Father Time's scythe." She refuced to become serious when Alice related her tale of woe. "There's .only one of two things to do," advised the aunt. "Hand him li s ring and forget about him what one man more or less. There s plenty of them.) Or get busy and bent out this Uher woman that has stolen his affec tions. This may sound terribly sinner, but that's the result of the youth re storer getting in its work." "But I love him too much to let tlm go. even though it's mv duty, protested Alice. "Better think It over. then, said the aunt. "You hnve mv advice, and It's the best 1 can give. Better let him take the initiative, if you can't do it yourself." And Alice took her leave, while her aunt muttered something about "heart, affections rot !" and resumed lathering her face. While Alice was passing the window, however, the mint appeared to hnve tn struc'k with nn idea, for she called : "Alice. I just happened to think of jomething.

"No. it can't be," Alice rejoined. "Henry has no sisters or cousins. I know that to be a fact ; and his mother is dead." At the dinner hour the next da.i Alice tould not keep away from the rcstniiiant where her troubles of the heart had begun.
