"Do you mean to say you haven t
asked her about it? Why, I am sure
■he must have planned it with Lizzie.'
"But what makes you think so,
Mrs. Stevens?" Helen asked the ques
tion as calmly as she could, because
Bhe knew by experience that Mrs.
Btevens was very apt to exaggerate.
"Well, I haven't a real reason, but
you know they spent the summer to
gether, and they are great friends.
I thought you told me once that Nora
did not know any people in New
York?"
"That's true: she has never both
ered with anyone."
"Well, then, don't you see that It s
likely to be so? Perhaps Nora is
afraid to tell you, but I am sure they
have it all planned."
Mrs. Stevens had come over early
In the afternoon to see Helen about
Nora. Helen could not believe that
Nora would do anything underhanded,
but Mrs. Stevens seemed to have am
ple proof of the fact that Nora was
planning to go to Ireland with Lizzie.
"Why does Lizzie want to go Just
liow? I should think the war would
frighten her out of it."
"It did for a time, but she has had
her mind made up for over a year
now, and the sister of one of her
friends went home just the other day.
You see, she has saved up a little
money since she has been with us, and
phe wants to go back home to see her
people before marrying and settling
down over here."
"Ts she engaged?"
"Yes, and has been for two years
now."
"Well, I can be sure of Nora on that
score, anyway," said Helen with a re
lioved little laugh "She has no male
attachments that I know of."
"Oh. hasn't she, though. Well, there
have been two men in our kitchen
plenty of times when she has been
over visiting Lizzie, so I wouldn't be
too sure of that if I were you."
Helen Finds Cause For Amazement
Helen loked at Airs. Stevens with
amazed eyes. "You don't really mean
It? Why should Nora have men come
to see her over there, when she knows
perfectly well that I would be willing
for her to have them here any time?"
"As I said before, she probably
doesn't want you to know."
"But she might know that you
•would tell me."
"Not necessarily. We don't gossip
«o much, you and X. But I must say
that I would do almost anything
rather than lose Lizzie. You see I
always regarded tills trip to Ireland
as entirely theoretical, and here I am
confronted with it."
Helen was thinking rapidly. She
ieould hardly manage to get along
■without Nora. Just a year ago she
had almost lost her, but ever since
Nora had come back she had been
better than ever, and Helen had been
very kind to her. Nora had very
Kood principals and she was genuinely
fond of Helen and devoted to Wini
fred. Then, too, she was good girl.
She knew how to wait very well, she
knew all Helen's likes and dislikes,
ad Warren's tastes almost better than
Helen did herself. She simply
couldn't lose Nora.
"Lizzie has never said anything
about Nora's going with her?" she
questioned.
"No," very slowly. "I will admit that
this is merely an idea of mine, but I
am pretty sure you will find that I
a.m right. Well, I must run along
home now; don't worry about it. I
thought you ought to know, that's all,
and I am sure you would rather have
me tell you."
"Yes, indeed, if anything like that
is going to happen, of course I ought
to know. I'll find out from Nora im
mediately, and thank you for coming
over."
Helen went slowly out into the
kitchen after tho door had closed on
Mrs. Stevens. She hardly knew just
how to ask Nora about it, for fear
of putting the idea Into her head In
case it weren't there. Mrs. Stevens
was so apt to Jump at conclusion.
Nora was sitting at the kitchen table
cutting up carrets for dinner. The
kitchen was scrupulously clean and
Nora herself looked as neat and
sweet as could be. Helen noticed for
the first time how attractive the girl
was, with her fresh coloring and her
bright expansive smile. Why shouldn't
Mora be attractive to men? It just

Nora looked lip with a smile and
took the plunge bravely.

"Mrs. Stevens seems terribly upset

that the war is on? I can't imagine
why Lizzie doesn't wait until later."
"Lots of girls are going over now,
ma'am, and Lizzie's friend won't wait
forever for her!"
"So Lizzie has a friend," said Helen
in a surprised tone of voice. "I sup
pose she'll be married when she
comes back."
Yes, ma'am," agreed Nora calmly.
Helen hesitated a moment.
"Nora, you have no idea of going
back to Ireland with Lizzie, have
you ?" she said finally. "Mrs. Stevens
seemed to think you were going,
too."
Nora looked up. "Why, no ma'am.
Ini not going back at all. Lizzie did
want me to, but"—. Nora stopped
and flushed a brilliant red up to her
ears.
"Can't you tell me, Nora?" said
Helen, encouragingly.
"Well, you see, ma'am, I didn't
want to spend the money. 1 want it
for something else."
Helen's heart gave a jump; she
could_ guess what was coming.
"Why, what do you mean. Nora?"
Nora looked up at Helen in a little
frightened way that she had.
"Dont be afraid to tell me."
"No, ma'am. I won't, hut I didn't
mean to tell you just yet."
"Nora, you don't mfean that you are
going to be married?"
Nora nodded blushingly. "Some
time, but not yet, ma'am," she stam
mered out. "Not for another year."
"But, Nora, who is this man; lie has
never come to see you here?"
"No, ma'am. I saw him over at
Lizzie's. I didn't want you to know,
for fear you wouldn't like it."
Nora's honest eyes were filling with
tears.
"But, Nora, I would have to know
it some time, and as long as you are
not going to leave me yet." and Helen
drew a breath of relief. "Why it isn't
quite as bad as it might be."
Nora smiled through her tears and
Helen padded her shoulder comfort
ingly.
_ "But you must have him come here,
Nort.; don't go over to Lizzie's; that
isn't right. Besides I shall want to
see what he looks like, you know."
"Yes, ma'am," said Nora, blushing
again, "he takes me to moving pic
tures and down to Coney Island. He's
line, ma'am, he's a friend of Lizzie's
friend."
Helen smiled. "Well, that ought
to be recommendation. I suppose. But,
Nora, what am I going to do without
you?"
"I'll have me little sister come over,
ma'am, by the time I leave, and I can
show her how so that you won't
know it's me that's left."
Nora's round irish face was beam
ing with good will, and she rose and
caught Helen'B hand Impulsively.
"You've been awful good to me,
ma'am; I don't like to leave. It's Joe,
you see."
Helen saw, and she laughed again.
"Well, Nora, things might be a great
deal worse, and as long as your sister
is coming over and will take your
place, I feel quite relieved. I'm sure
I don't know what Mr. Curtis will
say."
"It ain't for a year, yet ma'am.
I'll always do my best for you, Mrs.
Curtis, and so will Maggie."
Nora went back to her work and
Helen walked on out Into the living

to keep Nora always, and there were

HOSE STAHL IX "A PERFECT LADY"
j Channlng Follock, who collaborated
witii Remiold Wolf in making the com
edy, "A Perfect Lady," for Miss Rose
Stalil, who comes to the Majestic to
morrow evening, lias written some
dozen of plays by himself. One of the
earliest of these works was a dramati
zation of a boo|c. "In' the Bishop's Car
riage." The play was produced on the
road and one of the iirst performances
took place In Marquette. Mich., Mr.
Pollock being present in the role of
author. The "runabout" was in its in
fancy and was used in the play to en
able the heroine to escape. Shortly
before the time for the performance, it
was discovered that the chauffeur, who
had been engaged, was ill and could not
appear. The manager of the company
persuaded Mr. Pollock to undertake the
Job. assuring. him that It was the most
simple tiling in the world. The author
was only Instructed in the method of
starting and stopping the car,, his in
struction being received in fifteen min
utes. That night. Mr. Pollock started
the care beautifully and came to a full
■top right at the center of the stage to
take on Miss Jessie Busley. The cue
was given for his departure and he
departed, but overcome by emotions
of a first performance, when he had
past the wings, he forgot not to stop
it, which resulted in a violent collision
with the wall of the theater.—Adver

OItPHEUM
Comedy is the keynote of the splen
did Keith bill at the Orpheum this
week. Mirtli in almost every shade
and hue is served up by eomedlans of
many types and they are so widely dif
ferent that they combine Into a rat
tling variety bill. Nat Wilis, of course,
walks away with the big honors. The
"happy tramp" is alone worth the price
of admission for those who enjoy real
comedy. The clever sketch "Married,"
being presented by Homer Mason-Mar
guerite Keeler and company, is another
comedy gem. A sparkling hodge-podge
of comedy and song is offered by a trio
known as Cole. Russel and Davis, a
pretty girl and two comedians. The
girl appears as a fetching waitress in
a scene representing a cafe. The come
dians represent "bums" and try for a
Job. Both men are good comedians and
their antics create many laughs. The
Berrens appear in a corking musical
novelty: Marie Fltzgibbons Is a pleas
ing entertainer in bright stories, and
there are several other big Keith hits
of almost equal Importance. Adver
tisement.
COLONIAL
The cream of the vaudeville bill that
comes to the Colonial to-day will be a
comedy classic, of typical Dixie land,
to be presented by John P. Wade and
comnany. The sketch is called "Marsa
Shelby's Chicken Dinner," and it Is
looked upon by vaudeville managers as
one of the best character sketches that
travels the Keith circuit. The sketch
combines comedy and pathos and is
played by a company of artists of
marked ability. Three other clever
and varied turns round out the vaude
ville roster. "The Lure of the Sawdust."
an American feature film, will be the
leading attraction in the way of

Answers Queries
WOMAN OF THIRTY A\D BOY OF
TWENTY -TWO
Dear Miss Fairfax:
X am a man twenty-two, and am
deeply in love with a young lady ten
years older than I, although she looks
as young as I do. I have asked this
girl to marry me, but she hesitates
on account of the difference In our
ages. She claims she loves mo dearly.
Do you think this would interfere with
our future happiness? The difference
in our ages would make no difference
to me. "PITTSBURGH."
I cannot conscientiously advocate
a marriage in which the woman is ten
years older than the. man. And yet
there have been cases in which such
marriages were very happy. Search
your own heart and see if you would
still care devotedly for your wife if
her beauty and her youthful vivacity
were gone. Whether or not such a
marriage turns out well depends
largely 'upon the man.
THE GIRLi WHO SMOKES
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Can a young girl smoke while in
the company of young men and be
thought respectable? And what do
you think of a young girl who kisses
anyone who asks her to, though it
may be their first meeting.
ROSE.
I think very badly of a girl who
permits any but the man for whom
she truly cares to kiss her. Although
some so-called "society women" have
taken up the fad of smoking, I earn
estly beg of you not to cultivate this
habit. Men never have real respect
for girls who are "good fellows," who
permit liberties or who take such
unfeminine liberties as smoking or
drinking.
HE IS A TRUE FRIEND
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Please tell me if you think the
friendship of two girls should be
stronger than that between a young
girl and a young man ? I met a young
man at his boardlnghouse, afterward
he forbade me to go there, saying it
was no place for me. A young girl
there was very dear to me. Before
this my father and mother had asked
me not to go, but never said 1 might
not go. On account of my love for
tills girl I visited there about twice
a week. The girl Is a cripple. When
my friend said it would be better for
me not to go I discontinued my visits
altogether. Several other people also
told me to stop • going there. But
never seeing anything wrong I de
cided to find out for myself. I have
not been there for some time. My
friend told this girl he had asked me
to stay away. She asked him why I
did not come, or he would not have
told her. She was very angry because
I did not go. As I love him, whose
friendship shall I keep?
CURIOUS.
The girl who liv.es in or visits a
house about which there is any!
question or criticism, subjects her
self to unkind criticism. The young
man proved himself an interested and
loyal friend and his friendship is well
worth keeping. If the girl you used
to visit knows that the place in which
she is living Is subjected to harsh
criticism, she herself ought to feel in
clined to move and she ought not to
want another girl to risk her reputa
tion by coming there. It seems that
your girl friend has not very flile
feelings and that the man has un
usually good principles, so there can
be no question as to whose friendship
you should choose. The point is not
that one la a girl and th« other a man
—but that one is a good influence in
your life and the other has caused you
to act in a way that did not accord
with the wishes of your parents.
PROVE YOUR CHARACTER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am at present employed by a
large wholesale coal company, earn
ing a fairly good salary, and have
excellent prospects, i am twenty
two and contemplate marriage.
I am dearly in love with a young
lady whose parents object to my
attentions, although we do have se
cret meetings, and I am positive we
know each other's mind. Through
some unknown channel, her parents
have heard rumors regarding my
character which are absolutely
false. Her parents will not consent
to our marriage.. As we ure both
of age, would you advise an elope
ment? We are desirous or having
the ceremony performed on Thanks
giving Day, the twenty-fifth anni
versary of my mother's wedding day.
"DOC" NICKERSON.
If the girl's parents have heard ru
mors regarding your character, how
likely are they to l'eel that these re
ports are false if you persist in meet
ing their daughter clandestinely ?• Oo
to them frankly and ask for a chance
to disabuse their minds regarding your
failings. Tell them that they love
their daughter and you do, too; that
you at-e as anxious for her happiness
as they are, and. that you want a
chance" to prove that it will be assured
with you as her husband. Don't
elope. Between now and your moth
er's silver wedding you can win the
faith and trust I feel you deserve.
