8256 One-Piece Skirt for Misses and
Small Women, 16 and 18 years.
WITH HIGH OR NATURAL WAIST LINK.
Such a skirt as this one is perfectly
ndapted to washable material, conse
quently is sure to be in demand at this
6eason. The tuck gives a tunic sugges
tion and the fullness gives breadth where
breadth is needed, yet the skirt is made
in one straight piece and consequently is
e.isy to wash and iron. As a matter of
course, two materials couid be used by
ioining them beneath the tuck, and, since
combinations of plain and fancy ma
terials are greatly in vogue, that sugges
tion is worth heeding. since the
skirt is a straight one, it suits flouncing or
bordered materials perfectly well.
For the* 16-year size will be needed 3%
yards of material 27 inches wide, 2%
yards 36 or 44. The width of the skirt
at the lower edge is 1 yard 20 inches.
The pattern 8256 is cut in sizes for
misses 16 and 18 years of age. It will
be mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt of
ten cents.

Their Married
Life
By Mabel Herbert Urner

Helen raised herself on her elbow
and looked at the clock. It was not
quite seven.
The dull consciousness that Nora
had gone and that she must awaken
in time to get breakfast, had been 1
with her through the night. She had
not slept well, her head ached and
she t'elt heavy and depressed.
The new girl was coming at nine,
but the thought was not cheering.
Helen dreaded the breaking In of a
r.ew maid. And she would never get
any like Nora. Now that she was
gone, Helen realized that she had
had a real fondness for this warm- j
1-earted,quick-tempered Irish girl. |
With a sigh, she sat ,up in bed and j
brushed bark her hair. As she groped
for her slippirs, there came a shrill
ring of tho phone.
Warren stirred, then opened his
eyes. "What in thunder—"
"It's the phone, clear. I'll answer
it." slipping on her kimono.
"Hello!" anticipating a wrong num
ber call. Helen's voice was sharp.!
"Hello!" more sharply, as there was j
no answer.
Then came a faint quavering, "Is j
that you, Missis Curtis?"
It was Nora. The familiar voice
brought to Helen a curious thrill.
"This is Nora ma'am. I—l don't
suppose you'd take me back?"
"Where are you now, iJora?" Helen
tried to keep the eagerness out of her
voice.
"I'm at a drug store, ma'am, right
near." Nora's voice broke to a sob.
"I—l'd like to come back—if you'll
take me."
With a sinking dismay Helen re
membered that the new girl was com
ing at 9. What should she do? Nora
was penitent—she wanted to come
back—and Helen knew she wanted
her. But the other girl!
"Nora, I don't know what to say.
Superfluous Hair

"I have the greatest trouble with

needle applied for killing their super
fluous hair," says Mme. Chaminade in
Milady's Boudoir. "More mental and
physical suffering is caused by these
abominable methods than you can im
agine I have carefully investigated
and tried a new and simple method
that never fails to remove all signs of
hair completely and painlessly and
without injury to the skin or complex-!
ion In a surprisingly large number!
of cases it has destroyed all trace of
hair so that it has never returned. In
fact I must caution my readers that It

named for a well known woman who
arranged for it to be put on the mar

eradicating all trace of her own very
distressing growth of hair on chin, lip

failed to touch.

I've engaged another girl! t >h, why—
why were you so foolish yesterday. I
gave you every chance —"
The heartbroken sobbing came over
the wire.
"Now listen, Nora; listen to me! I
can't talk to you over the phone. You
come here and I'll see what I can do."
"All right, ma'am," eagerly. "I'll
come right away ami get breakfast."
Helen ran back to the bedroom with
an excited,
"Who do you think it was? Nora.
She wants to come back!"
Warren received this announcement
with a non-committal grunt.
"Dear, what SHALL I do? The
other girl's coming at nine. I can't
disappoint her—and yet—oh, I'd much
rather take back Nora!"
"You're a fool if you do. She'll:
only go off on another tantrum."
"No, I think she's had her lesson.
She was crying so she could hardly
talk. She's probably spent a sleep
less night waiting to phone me."
"How about breakfast?" Warren
yawned and stretched his clenched
fists. "Hadn't you better get a move
on?"
"She's coming to get breakfast—she
was right near here when she phoned.
That's her now," as the kitchen bell
rang. "Dear, won't you let her in?
I don't want to talk to her just yet."
Grumblingly Warren slipped on his
bathrobe.
"Don't say anything to her," Helen
called after him. "Just act as if
nothing had happened."
She Arrives
The sound of the opening and clos
ing of the kitchen door, and Warren
came shuffling back, bringing with
him the morning paper.
"Did she say anything " whispered
Helen anxiously.
"No, but she looked mighty sheep
ish. Eyes pretty red, too."
"Poor Nora." mumured Helen.
"She's so foolish! She brought all
'this suffering on herself just because
of her silly obstinacy."
"What was the row about?" yawn
ed Warren.
"Why I told you—those two pantry
shelves. She Insisted it was 'house
cleaning.' It wasn't the work, Nora's i
not a bit lazy, it was just—Oh, itj
was all so foolish, and I suppose I
wasn't very patient."
It was not until they sat down to
breakfast, and Nora with downcast
eyes .brought in the toast, that Helen
saw her.
"Good morning. Nora," she tried to
say It in her usual tone.
"Good morning ma'am," said with j
lowered eyes, as she hurried out to
answer the door bell.
"Oh, I'm afraid that's the new girl j
now," murmured Helen.
"It's a young woman, ma'am—to see
you," faltered Nora.
"Very well, Nora, you can take her
into the sitting room."
"Looks like she wants the job,"
commented Warren. "It's not half
| past eight. Pretty mean trick to
turn her down now."
"What shall I do, ••dear? Oufeht I
speak to her—or to Nora first?"
"Don't ask me," shrugged Warren.
"This is your funeral."
A moment's hesitation —then Helen
went in to the new girl. Her heart
sank as she saw the straw suit case
i and bundle.
"I'm very sorry," began Helen awk
-1 wardly, "but would —would you be
' very much disappointed it I gave
' you two dollars for your trouble in
i coming here —and not keep you?"
The girl looked at her blankly,
t A Bad Situation
! "My maid, the one that left yester
day, called me up this morning and
begged me to take her back. You
■ know It's always I hard to break In a
1 new girl," apologetically, "and Nora's
i always been so good that I—l feel I
ought to take her back."
1 "Well, of course, ma'am, that's for
you to say. But I've come all the
- way from Hackensack. And yester
day, at the agency, you said"—
"I know I engaged you," admitted
1 Helen, "I'm not trying to get out of
e that, and I still think you'd make a
very good m:ild," gazing Into the
- girl's perplexed eyes. "Wait a mo-
Iment, 1 want to speak to Nora —per-
haps after all"
Feeling that she was bungling
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
things very badly, Helen ignored War
ren's questioning gaze as she hurried
through the dining room.
"Nora, I've just been talking to
this girl. She's came a long way,
she looks to me like a good girl, and
she wants to stay. Now, If I take
you back, I want to be quite sure
that you'll not fly up and leave me
again as you did yesterday."
"I won't ma'am—you know I
won't," brokenly.
"And whenever I ask you to do a
thing—you'll do it without any dis
cussion? That's understood, is it?
You'll wash those shelves to-day—
and there'l be no more trouble.?"
The mention of the shelves was
like the waving of a red flag. Nora's
stubborn pride was not wholly broken
—and now again it asserted Itself.
"I'll do anything, ma'am, 'cept those
shelves. I—CAN'T do them!"
"You can't," sharply, "then why did
you come back? You certainly knew
I wouldn't take you unless you did!
You don't think I'll keep a girl, do
you, who dictates what she will or
will not do?"
"There's nothing I won't do for
you," sobbed Nora convulsively. "Only
don't make me do them shelves! Let
me get woman," eagerly. "I'll pay
her myself out of my wages—if you'll
only let me stay!"
Helen looked at her pityingly. She
understood. Nora was powerless to
conquer her own stubborn nature. She
had said she would not wash those
shelves and her tenacious obstinacy
still clung to that.
"Oh, I can't help it, ma'am. I can't
help it," sobbed Nora, who seemed to
divine Helen's understanding. "I'll
stay with you forever. I'll work for
you—do for you—lf only you'll not
make me—"
"Very well, Nora," Helen's voice was
unsteady. "I'm going to let you stay
and say nothing about the shelves.
I'm not going to MAKE you wash
them, but I'm going to believe that
! you will—of your own accord."
j Norn's tear-stained face lifted with
lan eater light.
"Put I want you to appreciate that
I'm being very, very good to you! I
hope that I'll not be sorry—that I'll
never regret having kept you."
She Gives In
"Oh, you won't ma'am—you won't!
I'll do anything for you l'll even
wash them shelves!" and in a burst
of emotional tears Nora caught
Helen's hand and kissed it.
"Oh, she's just like a child —just
like a child," quivered. Helen as she
came into the dining room and stood
behind Warren's chair, her flushed
cheek against his hair.
"What'd you do?" sharply. "Give
in to her?"
Helen nodded. "But it's all right.
She's had her lesson." Then with a
sigh, "I must go in now and tell that
other girl."
Perhaps there was something in the
very atmosphere, or in Helen's face,
or in her tremulous voice, that made
the other girl understand.
"It's all right, ma'am. As you say,
I can get another place easy, and if
she's alone in this country maybe lt'd
be harder for her. You've got my
address, and if you ever want a gift
and I'm not workin' I'd like to work
for you."
She seemed reluctant to take the
two dollars, but Helen pressed the
bill Into her hand, and saw her to
the door.
"Well, that's going some for one
morning," commented Warren, as
Helen came back Into the dining
room. "You don't often get a three
act melodrama befor > 9 a. m."
Helen laughed a little tremulously.
"But It's all right. We won't have
any more trouble with Nora."
"Should hope not," as Helen fol
lowed him out to the hall and helped
him Into his overcoat. "If she doesn't
toe the mark after what you've done
for her this morning—well, I'll fire
her myself."
"You wont have to," quietly. "I
think I know Nora."
Then, to her surprise, Warren
stooped and kissed her with unusual
tenderness.
"You're a brick, kitten! Mighty few
women would lmve been bitf enough
Ito have taken that girl back. You're
[the real thing!"
