By DOROTHY DIX
By DOROTHY DIX
"l lost my Wife." said the sixth
man. "thr»uih a foolish flirtation with
:i woman I did not even care about, a
woman who was infinitely inferior to
my wife in looks, intelligence, charm
-everything that goes to make up a
woman.
"We should think a man crazy who
having in his possession a priceless
.lowel, traded it off for a garish hit of
pinchbeck, but how often do we see
him make the same sorry bargain
emotionally—throw away the love of
n wife who is pure gold for a fancy
lor some woman who is nothing but
dross!
"I was one of these poor fools. By
nature 1 am somewhat of a Senti
mental Tommy. Women attract me
and I have always found the game
of hearts to be the most exciting game
in the world. The rapture of the dis
coverer, the excitement of the big
game hunter, the finesse of the gam
bler. they are all there in the pursuit

That's what makes love the great
Hdventure. and every pretty woman

"From my boyhood I was what is

whole litany of love-making by heart,
nid all the little gallantries that
please women in a country whose men
ire. curiously enough, the most de
moted to their womenkind and the
least loverlike in the world, where
men give women the most money and
the fewest attentions.
"Of course I had many flirtations,
snd I remember that a cynical old
bachelor uncle used to say to me. with
i chuckle: 'Watch out, Jiramie! Some
Jay one of these near-engagements of
v ours is going to end fatally for you
in matrimony." And it did.

"I met a girl who was everything

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
I "I was easy prey—all the easier be
cause for so long my weapons had
been hanging on the wall, and 1 had
been out of the tight. 1 had forgotten
that mv tongue was ever nimble ai
llatteries—that I bad ever quoted
pretty efTectlvelS': that I had ever
sighed unutterable nothings. I had
thought of my fascinations as gone.
1 hail come to consider myself as done
with romance.
He Thinks He Is a Komeo
"God knows how some women do it.
but here, in an instant. I saw myself
in this woman's eyes no longer as u
middle aged, perfectly domesticated
husband and father, but as an allur
ing Romeo, and it went to my head.
Before 1 knew it, without intending
it. without meaning it. X was em
barked on one of those flirtations
that almost invariably end in disaster,
and prove the truth of the old adage
that there Is 'no fool like an old fool.'
"Let me do the woman the Justice
to say that she, no more than 1, in
tended any real harm. We really at
tracted each other because wo were
both experts at the love game, and in
each other found foemen worthy of
our steel. It was a match of wits in
stead of hearts, of fencing instead of
feeling.
"But we played the game accord
ing to Hoyle. There were flowers,
and candy, and rides, and little din
ners in quiet restaurants, and strolls
through the park at night, and notes
sadly sweet, breathing of a hopeless
passion. And all, I swear it, mean
ing nothing from either her or me.
"In my heart I was never untrue to
mv wife". I knew this other woman
for the foolish, vain, frivolous little
creature that she was. and in the very
moment that I was entreating her to
go out to dinner with me, or auto
mobile with me, I was thinking in the
back of my heart, and thanking God
for it. that my wife was not of that
sort, and that no man on earth could
tempt her to treat me as I was induc
ing this other woman to treat her
husband. Also, incredible as It sounds,
by the very froth of this flirtation I
measured the depth of my love for
my wife.
"I never intended, of .course, that
my wife should know of this silly
affair, but one day she found in my
pocket a letter from the woman full
of fond and spurious endearments,
and making an appointment for a
rendezvous that was really innocent,
but that damned me in her eyes. I
tried to explain to her that I had only
been amusing myself, and that I was
not in love with the other woman, or
she with me, but her loyalty was not
of that kind of faithfulness. Women
love altogether, or not at all. They
are true as steel or false as perdition
and that is why they never can com
prehend how a man may love and
honor his wife in his inmost soul, and
still let his fancy occasionally wander.
"And so my wife did. as doubtless
I should have done under the same
circumstances. She left me, and I lost
the steady sun of love for a light of
love."

•'Sure." said Officer Toole, with re
markable promptness. "She went by
here not a minute ago. Right that
way." And he pointed up the hill to
ward Officer Morrlsey; then as Bly«
started off. panting, he held his sidti
"Oh. well, it was dull times on thi
beat these nights!"
The dusk had deepened into darkness
when Officer Moran's palm proved not
broad enough to carry away the grin
from under his yellow mustache, and
the grin, escaping, broadened Into uj
huge laugh.
Blye stood it with remarkable quiet
ness.
"It seems to me I've been furnish- 1
ing a little amusement for the boys." |
he surmised, frowning.
"You have," laughed Moran. "It's
what in Scotland they call 'chasing the
gowk." As for the girl you mention
ed," and he swung his club happily.
"I don't suppose one of ns has ever
laid eyes on her."
Blye's black eyes dwelt on Moran
piercingly: then his suave smile came.
"Have a cigar." And he passed over
one which Officer Momn kept for
Christmas.
Blye stopped smiling as he walked
away, and his eyes narrowed in con
centrated thought. He stroked hi?
black Vandyke with his long. lean r
white fingers. They had had their Joke
with him. these thick policemen. They j
had made him dash madly from cornet
to corner, over many weary blocks, but |
without knowing that they were doing
«o they had convinced him of onp
thing—that June lived in this vicinity
and that they all knew of her.
He was passing the corners as he nr
rived at this uncertainty. The corner j
were a tangled knot of street and alle> j
intersections where one might angU !
off in almost any direction and go no
where.

delayed dinner in company with th< I
vivacious brunette Tommy Thomas am! i
the white mustached, piak faced Oriii
Cunningham and with a heavy, silent,
thick eyelidded man who wore short ;
cropped hair on his big round head.
Tommy and Cunningham and Blye j
sat for some time together after the
big man had left. They were evident-<
ly planning something.
Finally all three went out and step-'
ped into Blye's luxurious limousine.]
Before they had gone very far Blye, j
sitting by the girl, leaned toward her i
and began talking to her in low tones.
By and by the trace of a smile came
to her lips.
In a tastefully furnished drawing,
room a kindly looking woman held the.
bubbling Tommy's hand between both i
her own while they talked. There were
both sadness and loneliness in Mrs.!
Villard as she drew Tommy to a seat 1
on the couch beside her. but she bad
spirit, too, for she displayed n most
eager interest in the beautiful portrait
of June Warner, which presently peer

whom Gilbert Hive had introduced her!
"Which way. pretty maid?" Tom
my's glowing face protruded from the
door of the cab.
"To the employment office, kind

her little address slip.
"I'll take you over." offered Tommy.

they drove away, but at the next cor

•Tnne. but Mrs. Villard! to whom she
had phoned, remained at the telephone
and called up another number.
When June walked Into the Acme
Kmployment bureau, having chosen a
new one. quite naturally, since the old
one had sent her to a gambling house,
she found a new address ready for her.
A lady w anted a companion.
Her eyes widened with pleasure as
she saw the beauty of Mrs. Ytllard's
home. It was scarcely visible from the
street. set back of and below a tangled
profusion of shrubbery and trees. Be
fore it rolled the broad, smooth Hud
son. Her timidity was set entirely ar
rest when In the c«7y parlor .lust hack
of the stiff drawing room she met the
kindly faced Mrs. Villard.
Companion? She was not to be a
companion to this charming aud sweet
and yet sometimes sad lady. She was
to he a friend, a sister, a daughter.
They knew that much in the first three
minutes of their conversation, and then
Mrs. Villard took .Tune up to a wonder
ful bedroom which had once been a
child's, upon the walls of which wero
peacocks and roosters and gnomes and
elves. It was visiting day among the
Villard cottages and the cottages be
yond which were not Villard cottages,
and June had the joy otice'more of giv
ing. mingled with the sorrow that there
w as need.
It was late when they arrived at the
rottage of the Groggs, and as they en
tered the front door Mr. Grogg came
up from the lower road and entered the
back door, fully ten feet behind his
breath. He was a red faced man with
no blend in his countenance whatso-
ever. Nose. Mrs and all. he was the ,
ftxme tint of red Ifrom where his neck I
rose out of its sprawling: collar to j
where his low forehead disappeared in
his sprawling yellow hair.
"D'afternoon, ladies.'' observed Mr.
Orojrjr cheerfully and bowed his smile
in the direction of the severe eyed Mrs.
Villard and the shocked June. "Brought
you a little present. 1.0uz." and, with i
as much extravagant importance as if J
this had been the rajah's Jewel, he be- ]

Every girl wants a new kimono no
I matter how many she already has on
I hand. This one is so simple that it can
be made in the least little bit of time,
! yet it takes extremely pretty and be
coming lines. On the figure, it is a long
robe-like negligee made of flowered crfiie
with trimming of washable silk, but in trie
•mall view, it is shown cut off to form a
•acque, and sacque and kimono are
equally useful, equally dc-iirable. All the
flowered crepes and flowered silks seem
especially designed for such garments,
but there are many pretty plain ma
terials that are also suitable. Albatross
makes up charmingly, and cashmere
| makes a very pretty negligee, ami won
derful color effects can be obtained by
using these materials. In place of the
•ilk, ribbon can be used.
For the 16 year size will be needed
yds. of material 27 in. wide, yds. 36,
yds. 44, with 15-8 yds. 27 in. wide, or
yds. of libbon, 5 in. wide for trim

In the January Woman's Home
Companion appears an authoritative
article about the new twilight sleep
about which so much has been writ
ten by physicians and others. Follow
ing is a paragraph taken from the
j article in which a physician describes
exactly how the treatment affects tho
I patient:
I "The patient is drowsy and sleeps i
! lightly between her pains. When a
[pain occurs, she manifests her sulfer
-1 ing to a greater or less degree, and
1 again dozes. Jtut consciousness is not
j entirely lost. She responds somewhat
I tardily to duestions. and usually obeys
|commands. Kronig lays great stress
j upon maintaining a condition of semi- :
unconsciousness, wherein the pains '
though apparently perceived, arc nev-'
ertheless immediately forgotten. The I
patient perceives n pain but does not)
inpperceive it: in other words, she does j
I not appreciate it. At any rate, on
awakening, she has no recollection of j
anything that has occurred. The pa- i
tient may complain that the treatment I
is not working and roundly abuse those j
in charge, yet half an hour after the j
birth have absolutely no recollection of j
her pains or of the coming of her
baby."

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
i a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
I In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn.
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health —many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.
