OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
A GIRL AND A MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van d« Water
CHAPTER XXII |
Copyright, 1916. Star Company.
A wakeful night did not lessen
Agnes Morley's sense of apprehension.
Her aunt gazed at her anxiously as
she took her seat at the breakfast
table on Sunday morning.
"Don't you feel well, dear?" the
spinster queried.
"Oh, yes; quite well; why do you
ask?" rejoined Agnes.
"Because you've not got a bit of
color," Miss Lucy replied. "And I'd
be sorry to have your office work
make you pale. Pretty pink coloring
always keeps a girl looking young." |
"Well. I'm hardly old enough to
worry about showing signs of age,"
Agnes remarked, trying to speak j
lightly.
No, she was not old, but she was
older than Philip, she remembered.
She wished she was not.
There were several things about
Philip and herself that she had been
regretting lately, she reflected. The
difference in their ages was slight,
after all. and no regrets at the dis- ;
parity could change it. But Philip ]
could have spared her discomfort in
other ways.
"You are very quiet this morning." |
Miss Lucy's voice recalled her to her
present surroundings. "Are you going
to church?"
"I don't know—yes. I think I will
go," Agnes said. "Shall you?"
"No, dear, I don't feel well enough
to venture out in this dampness,"!
Miss Lucy answered.
Agnes looked at the patient crea
ture with compunction. How selfish |
she had been to be so much absorbed
in her own thoughts as to disregard ;
her aunt's many ailments.
"You rest and I will wash the j
dishes," the girl said. "You must
mind me, dear auntie. And I will getj
the dinner, too."
She Waits For Phil
Her aunt protested, but it was in
vain, and for a while Agnes found>
actual relief from her broodings in
performing the various household du- i
ties. By afternoon a warm rain had j
begun to fall, so that neither of the I
occupants of the tiny flat ventured
out.
Perhaps if the weather had been 1
clear, if Agnes could have taken aj
walk in the fresh and sunlit air, her'
nerves might have grown calmer. As
it was she could not shake off her I
feeling of depression, and. as she did'
not want to worry her aunt, she could ;
not dispel her fears by talking them
out. She longed for Phil's arrival,
yet wondered if. after all, the confer
ence with him would help matters.
He came in after supper, smiling j
and debonair as usual, regretted that
Miss Lucy was feeling so bad that she
had gone to her room, then added,
impulsively:
"But. to tell the truth, Agnes, I
am glajd to have you alone—for there i
are many things I want to talk out'
to you."
"Yes," she rejoined gravely, "and
there are things I want to talk out
with you."
"Well, you begin first," he sug- 1

FRIDAY EVENING,
i gested. '"What's the matter? You
[ look awfully serious."
"I feel serious," she told him. "You
| have put me in a very uncomfortable
i: predicament, Phil —just because you
would not be careful —as I asked you
j to be."
> "Nonsense!" he declared. "I have
| been careful."
| "Wait," she said, "until I explain
1 —and then you can t6ll me what you
'. have to say."
.; He laughed and nodded. But, as
she talked the smile died from his
face. She did not raise her voice,
i nor speak with any display of tem
per, but it was evident to the lad
1 that what he had regarded as an
| almost trifling annoyance in its re
sults to himself had been a matter
; of importance in her estimation.
She mentioned first the way in
; which he had greeted her on his
first morning in his father's office —
as if she were one of his friends.
"I wanted to show dad that I at
least regarded you with the respect
j due you," he declared. "He had ad
dressed . you just as if you were an
ordinary employe."
Agnes Argues
, "But that is just exactly what I
am to you,* she argued. "And you
should not have shown any resent
i ment at his recognition of the fact.
If I occupy the position of his em
ploye it is perfectly right for him
to treat me as one. It is an honor
-1 able position—and if I do not object
I to it you need not. No—don't inter
rupt me, please," as he tried to speak.
"Then later on when I gave you a
message from your father you looked
, at me—well, as if—as if—you knew
I me very well."
j "I do—thank heaven!" he ex
' claimed fervently.
"You should not show your feel
ings in your face," she reproved, ig
! noring his vehemence. "It made me
very uncomfortable—and made talk
in the office. Never mind!" for he
gave vent to a smothere ejaculation,
r I don't care to discuss that part of
it." Her face reddened as she re
called Annie Rooney's comments and
advice. "Then you sent Joe In with
a note for me—and your father knew
it was from you?"
"How did he know?"
"Why, Joe spoke in a stage whis
per of 'Mr. Phil.' Of course. Mr. Hale
: knew. And he was displeased, and
' rightly. Then, to cap it all, you fol-
I lowed me to the door and were talk
ing to me in your most earnest man
ner when your father came out of
his ofljee. Oh. Phil," —her voice
trembling—"can't you understand?
What must your father think of it
all?"
"HRave you told me all you
wanted to tell me?" the young man
asked. He had become as grave as
she.
She nodded.
"Very well, then," he said. 'lt is
jmy turn now. And, as I have listened
to your indictment of me—or of my |
actions—you must listen to my de
! fense—and explanation."

Circular Bloomers and Loose
Blouse Make a Comfortable
Exercise Costume
'By MAY'MANTON
9123 (With Batting Line and Aided
Seam Allowance) Gymnasium Suit
for Misses and Small Women, 16 and
18 years.
No better costume could be devised
for the vacation spent in the camp than
this one. The bloomers are far more
comfortable and far more practical than
skirts and the blouse allows perfect free
dom of movement while at the same time
it is smart in effect. Here, light weight
summer serge is used but the costume
could be made of khaki or of linen, of
cotton (gabardine or of any similar ma
terial. The bloomer* are circular in
shaping, consequently plain over the
hips and the blouse is perfectly simple,
with a yoke that gives just a hint of the
Norfolk. The patch pockets mean con
venience.
For the 16 year size will be needed, 7
yards of material 27 inches wide, 5 J4'
yards 36 or 4J& yards 44.
The pattern No. 9123 is cut in sizes for
16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any
iddress by the Fashion Department of
this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Wetzel to Be New Chief ,
of Police, Rumor; Mayor
Says Man Is Not Picked
Despite the denial this morning by i
Mayor E. S. Meals that Lieutenant of ;
Police J. Edward Wetzel is to be ap
pointed acting chief until Council
! names a successor to the • late J.
Thomas Zeil, rumors were persistent
1 that the present officer would take
| charge temporarily.
Superintendent of Detectives Wil
i liu.ni Windsor is in charge at present,
| and Mayor Meals said to-day that an
• assistant may be named until Council
decides on a new chief. That he had
1 considered no one for the position was
the emphatic statement of the Mayor
in reply to the published reports that
among the ones considered for the po
sition permanently are Lieutenant
;, Wetzel, City Detective George Shuler
or William J. Bayles, clerk to the
| County Poor Board.
Another name loomed up to-day
when Alderman James B. DeShong
| was talked of, but the Mayor only
i j reiterated his statement that he had :
net thought of anyone for the office.
| He intimated, however, that he pre
ferred to have someone in the depart-
I rnent at present to have the appoint
ment, and that when a new chief is
named big changes will follow at
i headquarters.
