WOMEN'S INTERESTS
I A GIRL AND
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van 'k: Water
CHAPTER LXIV
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company.)
Agnes Morley's preoccupation left
her suddenly as Randolph Pickens
came into the room.
The Southerner's eyes had dark
rings about them;' in each hollow
cheek a red spot glowed.
"Good day, Miss Morley!" he said
In a strained voice. "I thank you for
allowing mo the privilege of calling
upon you. I hope you have recovered
from your indisposition yesterday.
As her fingers touched his she was
chocked to note tha his hand was
dry and hot. Surely he was ill.
"I cannot remain long," he said.
"But I felt that I must see for myself
that all was well with you, must tell
you that if you ore still in need of
money I will consider it an honor if
yon will allow me to assist you"— '
"Oh, thank you," Agnes interposed
hastily. "I —I—am hoping ' that all
will go well, but you must not give the
matter another thought. I am asham
ed"—a flood of crimson flowing over
her face —"when I remember how I
gave way to my weakness and fear
the other night. I want to say how
eorry I am that I showed such cowar
dice, such"—
She got no further, for Pickens
sprang to his feet, his agitation mak
ing his voice tremble.
"Stop!" he said sharply. "For
Heaven's sake, don't say you are sorry
for what you told me! For I am glad
'—yes, glad—even though"—
He hesitated, then added abruptly:
"You know that that dog will never
trouble you again?"
Her companion looked at her
strangely. .
"Why don't you speak?" he de
manded. "Surely you are glad that
the creature is dead—dead, do you
hear? You are glad, I say! Tell me
you are!"
In spite of his anguished entreaty
she could not reply in the affirmative.
"I can be if —if—l mean—Oh, Mr.
Pickens—X can't make you understand
unless I tell you the truth! I love the
man who has been accused of the
murder. That is all I can think of—
that Philip Hale is innocent and his
life is in danger. Nothing else mat
ters!"
She buried her face in her hands,
Doivt wait for
to heal your skiiv—
"Oh it will get well anyhow 1" you
say ? Perhaps it will, and perhaps it
won't. Maybe it will get worse instead.
And think of the discomfort and embar
rassment it causes you even now.
Isn't it better to get rid of the trouble
by using Resinol Ointment and Resinol
Soap ? Doctors have prescribed the
Resinol treatment for over 20 years, so
you need not hesitate to use it. Resinol
usually slops itching instantly.

Soap. For a free sample of each, write to l)ept.43-R (

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
but a gasping sound made her look
up suddenly. Randolph Pickens was
gazing ahead of him, his face drawn
and haggard, his eyes staring.
Rising, she laid her hand on his
arm.
"Mr. Pickens,' 'she said, "you are
not well. You must go home."
With an effort he brought himself
back to his surroundings.
::Yes, yps," he stammered; "I must
go home. You are right—l am not
well. You say that young Hale—l
have been ill—l haven't read the pa
pers, haven't heard"—
She must persuade him to go away!
He had fever, she was sure. Perhaps
he was delirious.
"You ought to go home!" she re
peated.
"Yes, I am going," he rejoined.
"Forgive me for taking so much of
your time."
Yet when he started to leave the
room he turned his haggard face once
more towardg her.
"I suppose you will know more
about this matter —the matter of the
murder to-morrow —or soon, won't
you? Surely they will not let an inno
cent man be tried for that which an
other man did."
His assumption that Philip was in
nocent startled her Into a swift out
burst of gratitude.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, "you do be
lieve that he is innocent—you do be
lieve it, don't you?"
"I know that he is innocent," he
said. "I will tell everybody' the truth
about it. I have cause for knowing
that he is innocent."
"Cause?" she ejaculated eagerly.
"Good cause —some proof that would
help acquit him? Are you sure?"
For the moment she forgot her sus
picions as to his sanity.
"Yes," he replied.
"Then," swept pn by her fear, her
love, she grasped at this straw of hope,
"will you come here to-morrow after
noon at 3 o'clock and tell his father
and lawyer about it? Will you?"
"Yes, I will come,"s he said dully.
Again he started from the room.
"It is for your sake," he muttered
as he reached the door. "It's all been
for your sake." w
But his voice was so low that &cdid
not catch what ho said.

STRIPED GALATEA
IN SCHOOL FROCK
White Collar, Cuffs and Belt
Make a Pretty Contrast to
the Heavier Stripes
By MAY MANTON
9210 (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance) Girl's Dreßs, 4 to 10
years.
Here, is a frock especially designed foi
•chool wear. _ It is made with bloomers to
match and it is appropriate for all the
simple childlike materials, for serge and
for wool fabrics of such sort, for linen,
piqui, galatea and gingham, all of which
are worn for school throughout the winter.
In the picture, a striped galatea is
trimmed with plain and the panel is cut on
the cross. Such treatment always makes
a good effect, but the panel can be used
for a contrasting material or for a match
ing material that is trimmed or braided or
embroidered, or it can be made simply
plain, as it is in the small front view. The
bloomers are of the circular sort, con
sequently, they are smooth over the hips
while they are abundantly full at the
knees.
For the 8 year size the dress will require,
3 yards of material 36 inches wide,
yards 44 or 2\i yards 54, with H yard
36 inches wide for trimming and for the
bloomers, I yards of any width.
The pattern No. 9210 is cut in sizes for
girls from 4to 10 years of age. It will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt of
fifteen cent*.

Telephone Subscribers I
Are Awaiting the Installation of Their DIALS I
WE'RE GOING AFTER 10,000 MORE I
One thousand and thirty-four new Automatic Telephone Subscribers have already ordered Automatic Tele- fl|
phone Service! |H
One thousand and thirty-four people in Harrisburg and Steelton, convinced of the superiority of the Auto- H
matic Telephone Service even before the "Cut Over," have signed contracts to sjM
"USE THE DIAL!" I
So busy have wp been with the engineering problems of cutting over the telephones already in service from the H
I out-of-date manual to the Automatic System, that it was impossible to install any of these 1,034 new telephones : fi
before the "Cut Over." JB
But now that these problems are history and the Automatic System is running smoothly and giving our old
subscribers telephone service of a speed and accuracy such as they never before knew, we have begun the installa- 9
tion of these 1,034 new stations. ■
Just as fast as our workmen can make the installations these telephones will be placed in service. 9
But like Perry of Lake£rie fame "We Have Just Begun to Fight!" ■
10,000 More Contracts Coming I
Ten thousand more new contracts are going to be procured so quickly it will take your breath! I
All Central Pennsylvania already knows it need no longer put up with the inefficiency of the manual tele- iB
phone system the tiresome waiting for the operator, the false "busy" reports, the "wrong number nuisance," j|
the abomination of premature "disconnects." jj
Soon All Harrisburg Will Be Usin£ The Dial I
The same thing is bound to happen here that occurred in Youngstown, Ohio, where the Ohio State Telephone
Company increased its subscribers from 2,750 to 7,000 since January 29, 1916.

Washington, Dec. 13. The Fed
eral Trade Commission reopened
hearings here to-day in its investiga
tion of the rise in news print paper
prices, presenting facts gathered by
investigators In the plants of American
and Canadian manufacturers. Pro
ducers, jobbers and paper users were
heard. Tables prepared by the com
mission were brought out at the hear
ing to show the following conditions:
"Both Canadian and United States
averages show n increase in cost of
paper manufactured in the first half of
1916 as compared with 1915.
Selling expenses in the first half of
1916 were lower than in 1915 and
profits per ton were higher. The per
centage of profit on investment, fig
ured on book investment, increased
from 5.92 per cent, in 1915 for nine
teen companies, to 9.3 4 per cent, for
fifteen companies in the first half of
1916. Rates of profit on the cost of
investment would have been even

higher could the figures have been ob
tained.
Market prices increased in 1916 to a
much greater extent than contract
prices.
Canadian mills are manufacturing
print paper at about $4.50 a ton less
than American mills.
Industry Shows Increase
Both production and imports in
creased in the first half of 1916 over
1915 and 1914. After 1 deducting ex
ports the quantity available for do
mestic consumption In the first half
of 1916 was 17 per cent, greater than
In the second half of that year. Deliv
eries, however, more than took care
of the increase and stocks on hand at
all points decreased 10.340 tons ln the
first half of 1916.
The statistical data presented by the
commission phases of which those
who testified were asked to explain,
concluded with a series of questions as
to possible remedies. They were:
"What measures can he adopted to
bring about a more equitable distribu
tion of paper among publishers?
What measures can be adopted to
prevent prices from rising to prohibi
tive levels?
Is co-operation between large pub
lishers and manufacturers feasible?
Would an embargo 6n exports be
advisable?
Would publishers profit in the long
run by refraining from entering into
contracts covering a long period of
time at a fixed price?"
Can small publishers profit by
adopting the plan of co-operative
buying?"
At the outset of the hearing it
developed that the commission had
surprised the paper makers by the
amount and scope of information it
had gathered since the last hearing
and upon which it asked the paper
manufacturers for explanations. The
manufacturers protested vigorously
that the proceeding was unfair, that
it was not such treatment as they
would receive ln court and asked for
an opportunity to confer among them
selves. The commission held decision
on the point in abeyance while It pro
ceeded to hear representatives of the
publishers, j
