Slio slammed the door tight shut and

with her left hand for the fastening.
Liko a flash came the returning pad,

push.
She flung her whole weight into a des
perata resistance.
Her left hand had found the bolt
now. Dear heaven I If she could only
close the door It would be an easy mat

She pushed and pushed, but always
was forced back.
A low, sinister chuckle eerily un
canny sounded in her ear. She could
almost feel the Oriental's breath upon
her. A great mist rose before her eves
a surging mist that seemed to blind
and smother her and a roaring like
the sound of many waters. ... ...
"I mustn't faint I mustn't faint I"
The words went hammering through

Ah. she was trapped! Sho know it.

A cold, nick feeling welled up in the

strong little teeth and bit with all her
might and main ! .
Immediately the hand and arm shot
backward and Miss Mary seised her
chance. She slammed the door, snot

heap upon the floor, her trembling limbs
refusing to support her.
But she was safe at last. The other

thera is an undercurrent of resentment
he never quite forgives her for put
ting him in that position. Men don't
object to women as the source of their
inspiration, but inspiration is a far cry
from a boost. They like to pat us on
the back and say, "I owe it al to
her it was the thought of her that
made me do It." But you never heard
a man wSoso wife really did supply
the foundation for his success tell the
world about it. On the contrary, he
spends tho rest of his life trying to
convince himself that it isn't so and
almost bating the hand thnt fed him.
Tho most important phase of this
"help your man and lose him" question
is that it kills the case. How can a
man retain tho courting frame of mind
with a girl who brings him her money?
He does not have to go after her, he
does not even have to try to hold ber,
and there goes half of her attraction
for him.
So help your men by all means, girls,
but help them by inspiring them, by
goading them on, help them with your
ambition and with your ndvlce; know
their problems and help them to solve
them, but let them work their own
way and make their own money and
pay their board. Don't let It look as
though you want to buy them ; make
them earn you ; that is a good way
to help them.
Lure them up the ladder, but don't
try to boost them. For. as our friend

Dear Cynthia Please print this for

about the wild glrl.t, and I still stick
to ray opinion. Now, dear "Seventeen
I've got the sweetest and most quiet
girl In the world, but at present tlmo I
am using her for second-class matter.
Now, Cynthia. I prefer the wild girls
for the good times "Miss '21" and
"Seventeen." as I have stated before.

I am considered a very good-looking
cnap. wnerover 1 go tno girls seem
to go nuta over me. This Is the ad
vantage of being good-looking. The
other chaps with (as you say) the kind
hearts haven't trot a thine nn mo. I
don't ever Intend to marry theso glrlB,
for they mean nothing to my sweet
vounir life. This mlcht make you feel
sore, "Miss '21." but If you over would
see me you would cnango your opinion
about It entirely. My beauty seems
to pull me through. Still I don't want
you to forget that beauty Is not my onlv
asset, for I play basketball on ono of
tho fastest aggregations In this city. So
vou see I am a sportsman ns well. It
Is too bad we have no beauty corner or
movie contest for men. ns I would cop
first prlre without a doubt.
Still, my sweetie is waiting for me,
and when I get married I will drop
the dance halls and settle with my
sweetie. You mlp?ht not believe It. but
that's a fact, ror wo intend to marry
In October.
Lastly, fellows, beauty means an
awful lot to you, for then you are tho
most popular man in me community

Let us hope your fiancee has found
some other asset besides your fatal
beauty and prowess In basketball. Per
sonally, Cynthia doubts that that wed
ding will take place In October. Re
member thero Is usually lomo ono
around who knows your fiancee and
who will enlighten her as to your bo
havior. Let us hopo corns one will, for
the nice quiet girl probably expects to
marry n man nnd It would bo better
for her to find him out before It Is too

express Is worthy of a nice, qulot girl.

Peggy wrinkled up her brow trying to
think of something to teach tho seals.
In her confusion she couldn't think of a
thing. And all the time the seals kept
up their barking "Teach us! Teach us!
Peggy looked at IJilly. He was scowling
and trying ns hard ns she was to think,
but his thoughts, like her own, had been
driven away by that chorus of "Teach
usl Teach uslr'
Peggy turned to Fojly Wisher, hop
ing he might help her, The goblin was
just grinning, however the kind of n
grin they had come to look far when
they wished for something they didn't
really want.
Suddenly Billy's face lighted up, and
he raised IiIh hand.
"Teacher! Teacher! Isn't it recess
time?" Peggy grabbed that idea quickly.
Having recess would be a way out of her
fix. ' Whilo tho seals were playing she
would try to think of something to teach
them.
"Yes, we will have recess now," said
Peggy. "You may go out to play."
But not a seal stirred. Every one sat
still and stared nt her.
"YoU are dismissed for recess," re
peated Peggy, thinking they had not
understood her. "Why don't you go
out nnd play?"
"We are out," barked n seal.
"And wo can't have any recess be
cause teacher was lato for school. We
have to stay in and watch teacher get
punished."
Then Peggy remembered how Prof.
Tusky Walrus had been tardy, nnd had
said that ho must stay in at recess us
a punishment. She had taken the place
of Prof. Walrus as teacher, and so, of
course, she felt she must tako his pun
ishment, too. She didn't want the seals
to miss their recess, but she couldn't
drive them away. They wanted to wnteli
to see that teacher got punished prop
erly. This being stared at so upset Peggy
she could scarcely think of the problem
she hnd before her which was to find
something to teach the seals.
"Can't you tell mo what seals are
supposed to know?" she nsked Billy.
"They don't look as though they were
supposed to know anything, ' said Billy,
running his eyes over the staring seals.
"If they were circus seals you might
teach them to do tricks. ,
"That's it." cried Peggy. "I'll teach
them to do tricks so they can becomo
circus seals." She turned eagerly to
Prof. Tusky Walrus, who wns frowning
darkly at her. "mil you ring the school
bell.
I. please. Recess is over.
Thumn 1 ThumD ! Thumn ! Prof. Wnl
rus beat with his flappers until the ice
thrummed loudly. The seals dashed
wildly about, but ended up in their usual
line. '
"Teach us! Tench us!" they barked.
Peggy was ready for them now.
"First class in circus tricks," she
cried.
The seals looked nt her in astonish-

unkind thing that can be said of him.
Where he lives, what his name is,

What he did stands out for its sheer
brutality.
There wns one woman among his
tenants who could not pay her rent.
Evidently she was very poor, for the
amount she owed for back rent was Just
And so her landlord took the case to
court and sued her for all of $16 1
During the hearing it was discovered
that the woman ha1 a "sick baby, thnt

And still that landlord brought suit
against her for ?15. ' '

That Washes Well
To get muslin that looks well after many
washings, ask for Fruit of the Loom.
It can be laundered again and again, and,
if properly rinsed, will always keep its snowy
whiteness and its fine, smooth finish.
This is because Fruit of the Loom is all
pure muslin. It is not filled up with the
chalky substance that washes out, leaving
what had appeared to be a finely wove
fabric coarse like cheesecloth.
From generation to generation Fruit of
the Loom muslin has been proving itself
durable and dependable.
