OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN TA GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life : ij by Virginia Terhune Van tie Water CHAPTER VI (Copyright. 1916. Star Co.) Thus began Agnes Morley's first work with the firm of Hale & Bain bridge. After the brief conversation when 6he entered his employ William Hale no word but of the business of the day to his new stenographer end secretary. He had put her im mediately in her place. She was to Vr. as she had expected, merely a fcort of machine in his office. She was too busy throughout the morning to reflect on this matter, foi she needed all her wits to per forn> her task well. She was so nervous at first that her hands and feet were like ice. Then, as ner new employer dictated one letter after another, her pulses becam calm and her hands resumed their normal temperature. The very realization that she was tut an animate apparatus ror his convenience steadied her. She was g'.ad that he knew nothing of her personality. It was very much cosier just as it was. At 1 o'clock Mr. Hale drew a long bteath. as if of weariness. ••There!" he said. "That's enough for the present. You may go on out to luncheon. Be back by a quarter of two. 1 want to sign my letters before I leave the office at five. "Very well, sir." she heary herself •aying. The closet in which she had hung her hat and coat was in the large outer room. When she left Mr. Hale's rrivate office she noticed a door to the right of it. It bore the name of "Haebrook Bainbridge." followed by the word "Private." The same word war on Mr. Hale's own office door. This room then was occupied by the junior member of the firm. Glr cing quickly about the other room, railed off into various spaces, she noticed that the stout man whom she had seen here this morning was not present. His stenographer also was nowhere to be seen. But the youi>g g:ri who had been seated at a typewriter earlier in the day was just now cov ering her machine preparatory to going out. She noddea kindly to Apnes as she met her ey*. An Introduction "How do you do?" she said. "I'm Miss Kooney one of the typists here. I guess you're Mr. Hale's new secretary—aren't you?" "Yes." Agnes replied. "I am Agnes Morley, the new secretary." "I'm pleased to meet you." the oth6r said. "Since you're giving me yc-ir first name. I suppose I mav as «f : l give you mine It's Annie but I sort of hate to tell it to en-angers—for all of them laugh at It.' "I don't see why." Agnes said. "I'm sure Annie's a very nice name." "Oh. it's on account of that old song, 'Annie Rooney." that they latish." Annie explained. "I never thought of that." Agnes Biui'.ed. She looked at her companion in tently. fcr she saw that the girl wanted to be friendly. It was a pity, she thought, that any one who might have been somewhat at ti active should dress as Annie Rooney did. Her plump figure was compressed Ir.to a very tight dress, her hair was % j-iied on top of her head in an exag geration of the prevailing mode, and !3aa/i on, *?fpt/:cr£oo& f sj\ A Mothers Wi3^^w£^r' l / vX, J k tb ® t Bhe maj ' E ° thron sh the \ I * ry * nff ordeal of motherhood with as 1 Little pain as possible—this can be a reality when "Mother's Friend" f has been used regularly preceding/ M£»E[s3jfe \ T7w „ Get I I "Mother's Friend" at vour V C J xgyufator ■ ~ " \ Modern Science Finds a New Method How Nerve Insulation Stops Inflammation and Eetema, Sunburn and All Skin Diseases Yield to Remarkable New Discovery The nerves of your body are like electric wires They carry the nerve energy (neuro-electricity) which is generated in the brain, to all the cells and tissues. The nerve sheaths are insulated to resist a current of about 4/1000 of a volt as has been proven with the aid of Lord Kelvin's galvanometer, an instrument so sen sitive and accurate that for the first time it is now possible to measure the strength of nerve currents. It has been found that wherever acute inflammation occurs the in sulation of the nerves is broken down, making it difficult, and often Impossible, for nature to heal the surrounding cells. Germs cannot live in healthy tissue; it is only through damaged cells that they thrive and spread.

Agnes remembered having heard some one say that nowadays the poses of a certain class of girls looked like marshmallows. She wondered why any creature should spoil a pleasant face and torture really pretty black hair as this git 1 was doing. "Where are you going to lunch eon?" her new acquaintance asked her. "I dont know. I hadn't planned about it," Agnes replied. "Well, there's quite a good place ncsv here where you can get a quick iced cheap." Miss Rooney informed her. "Come along with me, and I'll show you." The pair chatted pleasantly as the> went down the street to a lunch rcom which bore in great white letters on its plate glass window the information that it was "A Select Restaurant for Ladies and Gents." "1 am not a bit hungry," Agnes observed as the pair seated them selves at one of the marble-topped tables dotting the huge room. At the other end of their table were men. probably clerks from the neighborhood, so intent upon shov elling their food by the means of knives into their mouths that they wer*> entirely oblivious to anybody else who was sitting near them. All Explanation "You're not hungry because you're r.ew to your job." Miss Rooney re marked wisely. "When you've been at it awhile you'll get over being nervous and will just stoke up like the rest of us. What are you going to have now?" "A bun and a glass of mils," Ag nes replied. "Well, I want some coffee, sinkers and a slice of apple pie." Miss Roor.ev said. "I want something that will stick to my ribs. You can't work long on the kind of flub-dub that you take." Agnes laughed. "I'll try to, any how." she rejoined. "You've got a nice boss in many ways," Annie informed her later as they were hurrying back to the of fice. Mr. Hale's awfully business like and expects good, hard work, but he's just and fair all the same. Mr. Bainbridge isn't. I'm glad I'm net his secretary, but only a plain stenographer and typewriter, with no business knowledge that makes me have to do very much for him. Gee. he can be ugly!" "Is he cross to his secretary?" Agnes asked. "I guess he knows she wouldn't stand for Annie giggled. "She's awfully competent, but stands on her rights. He knows if he jaws hei she'll give back as good as she gets She's not young and not good locking. but she knows a lot." As they entered the outer office the stout man whom Agr.es had seen in the morning came out through the door bearing the name of "Has btook Bainbridge." Miss Rooney pir.ched her companion's arm. "There." she whispered, "that's him —Mr. Bainbridge—that stout chap." "Oh. breathed Agnes, "is that Mr. Bainbridge?" Of course, then. It had not been thlt man whose comment she had overheard cn her arrival to-day. It mt:st have been one of the office boys who had given vent to that impertinent expression of admira tion. (To Be Continued) treat inflammatory disease is to quickly repair the damaged insula ion and enable nature to restore the diseased tissue to a healthy condi tion. lon-o-lex Unguent does this. lon-o-lex Unguent is not a drug. It does not contain opiates or nar cotics. Its action is entirely mechan ical. Applied externally, it pene trates the tissues and surrounds the injured nerve sheaths with an in sulating bath. Then the inflamma tion subsides and nature quickly re pairs the nerve lesion—you are well. Don't suffer another minute, Just go to H. C. Kennedy and get a large jar of lon-o-lex Unguent, it costs lit tle, use as directed and If you can not say that it is the greatest means ever devised for conquering inflam mation wherever it exists, your money will be cheerfully returned without a question. through carrying around a burden of unsightly and unhealthy fat spend as much time as you possibly can in the open air; breathe deeply, and get from any druggist a box of oil of korein capsules; take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. Weigh yourself every few days and keep up the treatment until you are down to normal. Oil of korein is ab solutely harmless, is pleasant to take, helps the digestion and even a few days* treatment has been reported to show a noticeable reduction in weight.—Adver tisement.
