OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
A GIRL AND I
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van *te Water
CHAPTER L
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company)
"Good evening. Miss Morley!"
Hasbrook Bainbridges greeting was
ipoken in a rubdued tone befitting the
kouso of Illness. Ho merely nodded to
Philip Hale.
"I am afraid my coming Is inop
portune," he suggested.
—t will light the gas at once."
"Not on my nccount, I pray, Bain
bridge said stiffly. "That Is unless you
►refer to .do so."
As If in reply. Philip struck a match
on the heel of his shoe, and lighted the
three burners In the chandelier above
the center table. The sudden glare
made the trio blink, and before Agnes
had recovered her self-possession Phil
tvas saying good-night to her.
"I am glad to find that Miss Mor
ley Is resting quietly," he remarked,
"and my calling at this time was an
Inconsiderate act on my part."
"Oh, no—lt was kind of you to
tome." The girl strove to speak as
naturally as he liad done. ' fJood,-
night!"
Hasbrook Bainbridge stood motion
less by the table until lie had heard the
Boor close behind the young man, then
he regarded the girl with a synlcal
linile.
"May I ask," he queried sarcastl
tally, "why there must be all this Il
lumination on my account? Does young
Hale thing it Improper for you to re
ceive me in the dark, as you received
him?"
Agnes flushed crimson, even as she
recalled gratefully that the room had
possibly been too much In shadow for
her present caller to see clearly the pair
who had st®od so close together at the
lime of his entrance.
"I forgot that the gas was unllght
d," she tried to explain, her Indigna
tion making her speak sharply, "and
Ur. Hale probably did not notice It
tither." -
Bainbridge Is Indignant
"Until I arrived," Bainbridge supple
mented. "But perhaps he Is In a posi
tion to resent my talking to you ex
lept In a bright light."
"What do you mean?" Agnes de
manded'.
He gazed at her steadily, noting her
lashing eyes, and his manner changed.
"Forgive me," he exclaimed. "You
nd I are such good friends that it
peeved me a bit to se that young Jack
tnapes act as If ho had a proprietary
right to you. It was almost," with a
Ihort laugh, "as If you and he were en
gaged. You are not, are you?"
"No!" The reply was so vehement
lliat he knew It was sincere, yet at the
ack of his small eyes there lurked
in ugly gleam. It may have been to
keep the girl from seeing this that ho
[cached up and turned down two of
(he flaring gasjet3 before speaking
Igaln.
"I am taking the liberty of doing
|liis, for the glare is unbearable," ho re-
Harked. "Now let us sit down, and I
ivill explain my coming."
She sat down in silence, and he took
t chair near hers. She had regained
Mr self-possession, and remembered

that she could not afford to quarrel
with this man. To be sure, lie had
told her recently that she had "worked
out" the loan he had made her. But
the money had been spent and there
were yet ahead of her the heaviest ex
penses she had yet known. Only the
other day Bainbridge had told her. that
when the present piece of copying was
done, he might need her to do more for
him.
"I came for two reasons," he said
now. "One—which perhaps brought
young Hale here—(by the way, I won
der if his father knew he was coming)
—was to learn what the doctors said
about your aunt. The other reason was
to ask If you can come to me for work
to-morrow night. But I see by your
manner that you would rather not
come."
"You are mistaken," she hastened to
assume him. "If I looked unwilling it
was only because my aunt may be taken
to the hospital the day after to-mor
row—and, If so,-I would rather not leave
her on her last night at home. Sho is
to have a serious operation."
Iler lips trembled, and the man stood
up as If satisfied with her answer.
He Apprnrit Penitent
"I understand, child," he said gently.
"You must forget my selfish suggestion.
This is Wednesday. Can you come'to
me on Friday—that is, of course sup
posing our aunt is no worse? I hate
to trouble you, but the friend who lent
me that old book wants it back sooner
than I thought."
"I will come on Friday," she said
decidedly.
She was glad he had suggested this,
as she remembered the empty little
flat, her aunt at the hospital awaiting
her operation, and her own loneliness.
Work would be a refuge from her fears
and from herself.
"Yes," she repeated, "I will come on
Friday."
"Good!" Bainbridge approved. "And
now—good night. I don't want to both
er you—but it may be I will have an
other job I would like you to do for
me when the present one is out of the
way—if you still feel that you need the
work."
"Oh, I will!" she exclaimed. "I will
need It very much, because"—
She checked herself. She would not
talk of her need of money Just now, as
if she were begging him to give her
work that would pay well. It seem
ed like bargaining with one who had
always been generous to her.
He did not even shake hands as he
left her Perhaps the subject upper
most In his mind made him forget to
do this, for, v as he walked down the
street, he multered to himself:
"If that younb cub can play the
game there and In that way, I swear
I can too, and I'll beat him to It—
d him!"
Later, when Hasbrook Bainbridge
was alone In his apartment snd had
dismissed his servant for the night, he
spoke again—this time aloud.
"So that's the kind she Is!" with a
sneering laugh. "She's certainly one
slick little actress—for she's fooled me
all right!"

DOTTED CHALLIS,
RIBBON BINDING
' Quaint Little Kimono For Child
Most Useful While Waiting
to Be Dressed
By ANTON
9197 (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance) Child's Kimono,
2 to 6 years.
This is really a fascinating little neg
ligee. It is as simple and childlike as can
be, it takes pretty and graceful lines and
the little ones will wear it with infinite
pleasure. It is a smart little garment and
it has a certain quality of its own that is
sure to make an appeal. It is very pretty
made of the dotted challis illustrated with
the ribbon bands but the suggestion found
in the small front view, for cashmere with
scalloped edges, must not be overlooked.
Cashmere is charming for children's wear,
it is of good weight for the kimono and the
scallops are dainty and childlike and
attractive, while at the same time they
are in the height of style. Later, mothers
will like to use the same model for French
or Scotch flannel, or some warmer, cozier
material that will make a kimono to be
enjoyed on a frosty morning, while
waiting for the bath.
For the 4 year Bize will be needed, aj-tf
yards of material 37 inches wide, 2 yards
36 or 44, with yards of ribbon 4 inches
wide for the bands.
The pattern No. 9197 is cut in sizes
from 2to 6 years. It will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department of
this paper, on receipt of tea cents.

Sarah Bernhardt is once more In our
midst—her welcome will be warm. All
her life she has been an edu-
Genlna cation and an Inspiration for
Has others. And In her old age
No Ace she gives a marvelous ex
ample of courage and of
genius unaffected by the years, or by
physical disaster. You see that age
which controls others does not control
genius. Every child Is a genius, It lias
been well said, and every genius is a
child. Sarali Bernhardt Is to-day, in
enthusiasm, still a child. Genius takes
away from age ->l its weakness and
gives to its possessor youth in old age,
as it gave the powers of maturity in
youth. He who honors such a woman
as Bernhardt honors himself. She has
Interpreted the works of genius and
doubled their value. She has proved
the great power of woman, which in
every generation must be proved over
again to the foolish.
To-night is the last opportunity you
will have of witnessing the "all-girl"
bill appearing at the
I.ast Night For Majestic Theater. Lil
"All-Glrl" Bill lian Fitzgerald, an ec
centric comedienne,
furnishes lots of comedy, while the
music Is supplied by June and Irene
Melva, clever xylophone players. The
three Daring Girls, in a very good
trapeze act, together with two other
acts of merit, complete the bill. The
headline attraction for the first half of
next week Is another of those pleasing
juvenile productions, entitled "Play
land," that Is composed of seven chil
dren, who are said to display unusual
talent. Surrounding this attraction are:
Burke and Harris, comedy singers;
Percy Pollack and company, in a com
edy variety turn; Billy Kinkaid, clever
Juggler, and one other act. To-night
the theater box offlce will open at 6
o'clock and the firßt show begin at 6:30,
and run continuously until 11 o'clock.
"A Vagabond Prince," the new Tri
angle picture that was presented at the
Colonial Theater yes
"A Vagabond terday. Is not one of
Prince" at the usual tiresome for
thc Colonial clgn plays, but Is
staged on the "Bar

filled with thrilling situations and tells
how a titled young man comes to this
country In search of romanco and ad
venture. The picture, which will be
seen for the last times to-day, Is one
beautiful scene after another, and tells
a very pretty love story. Chas. Murray,
the inimitable Keystone comedian, will
be seen on the same program In a

A play that gives this famous emotional
actress a great role. The story of a
girl who Is secretly married just before
her husband is called to war, and she is
later forced to marry another man
whom she does not love. Wednesday,
one day only, Douglas Fairbanks in
"Manhattan Madness."
"The Hidden Scar," as its name sug
gests, deals with a wound. Not a wound
from a knife

hurt. Wronged,
when little more than a child, then with
a child of her own to support, the won
derful struggle of a cabaret dancer to
hold the position as a minister's wife
which she lias obtained.
Ethel Clayton and Holbrook Blinn are
featured, and in this great play by far
surpass any of their former efforts. To
day also an all-Harrlsburg play, "The
Romance of Harrisburg," played by all
local people. For Monday and Tuesday
"The Daughter of the Gods," featuring
the peerless Annette Kellermann,
known the world over as the greatest
woman swimmer and for acting before
the camera.
If you laughed at Charlie Chaplin in
"The Floor Walker," "The Pawn Shop"
and other Chaplin re-
Chaplln at leases, "Behind the
the Itegent Screen," now being
shown at the Regent,
will make you laugh too. There Is
something so funny and at the same
time so pathetic about the bungling at
tempts of the little overworked Charlie
to perform his duty, that the end of the
picture leaves you with a variety of
emotions. Every one who has ever
longed to glimpse a motion picture In
the making should not miss seeing "Be

for the last time to-day.
