10 WOMEN—THEIR INTERESTS AND PROBLEMS The Fortunes of Emily Bu HAL C Jack Sanford Warns Forbes CHAPTER IV. Jack Sanford Warns Forbes It was plpain to Emily that she had made an enemy in Forbes, the head stenographer, through no fault of her own. When there was extra work to he done Forbes always saw that she got it, and she was often working away at her typewriter long after the others had gone. But instead of mak ing Emily feel badly, she gloried in It. "I need practice," she said to her self, "and besides it gives me moro of an opportunity to learn the busi ness." Forbes and some of the other stenographers wondered why she never complained when they should ered the extra work on her. In later years they probably wished they had worked as hard as she did when they looked at Emily and envied her position. They never gave the office a thought from the time they left in the afternoon until the next morning. Even while they were there, they were more Interested in the base hall scores and the latest style of clothes than they were in their work. It galled them to see this young girl come in and go past them, for they couldn't see, and wouldn't admit It Wrist Watch Demands Kindness, Expert Says London, Jan. 16.—"Don't treat your ■wrist watch cruelly," said a watch maker to a customer, "and then you won't be coming to me for repairs so often. This wrist watch of yours probably has 'dressing table colic' or •mantelpiece chill.' Half the cases of snapped mainsprings are due to those ailments. "Wrist watch owners think that if their watch is exposed all day to the air it ought to be hardy enough to sleep on a mantelpiece or dressing table. But in the coldest weather the watch gets a certain amount of warmth from the wearer's wrist. What you should do is to put your watch under your pillow at night. Watches need warmth and equable temperature even as we do."

Blackman reported he was robbed, but in his report he failed to take into consid eration there was snow on the ground. No footprints were to bo found, and Blackman's story was discredited.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH I The Honeymoon j: House By Hazel Dale ! > Jnuet nnd Jarvln, l.v Aeeldent, Hrmrm l>er a Friend'* SußKextlon II) HAZEL DALE "I had no idea it would be so hard," said Janet a little mournfully. Sho was seated opposite Jarvis in a little Italian restaurant, where they had gone to take luncheon. Jarvis smiled. "Well. I knew we were going to have our hands full," he responded, "but don't lose hope yet, ! sweetheart, we have spent only one morning." Janet had looked forward with such a lot of hope to selecting a place to live. She and Jarvis had made out a list of things to adhere to, and they had determined no matter how much they were tempted not to give up one of their precious wants. Ihe list was very much as follows: 1. Must be downtown. 2. Must have a skylight. 3. Must have a bathroom, and heat. 4. Must be in a fairly good neighbor hood. 5. Rent not over forty dollars. This list might not sound exorbitant to a layman, but to an artist who is searching out places of the kind con tinually, the requirements are well nigh impossible. Jarvis had lived in a studio before. He had bunked in with another artist in an apartment where they paid forty dollars for one large studio and three little holes in the wall called rooms. There was no heat save that afforded by a dilapidated stove in the studio proper, and horror of horrors, no bathroom. Jarvis had told Janet this after they had turned disconsolately away from several places. "I don't see why places are so ex pensive," she said, turning her wide i/yes upon him in surprise. \Vorne 11 ml Worxe Hut they were, and worse and worse, even the most dreary places were taken nlmost immediately if they happened to possess a skylight. They were told at one real estate office that places down town were at a premium. "Kverybody wants to live downtown," he had ex plained, "and therefore we can get the prices." Janet hated the uptown apartments. She had lived in one herself, a very expensive one, where the rooms were all the same and life seemed cramped and domesticated. Jarvis had confided to her that he would rather have two rooms that were large than half a dozen small square rooms, and so they had resolved not to give up, but to hum until New York had been well locked over. Janet was cheered and comforted by the excellent 'food, and the bright glances of the little old Italian woman who cooked the food and occasionally came to the door to look at the young lady in green who looked as though she had just been married. "We'll go to the place on the square now," said Jarvis, as they went out. "I don't want to move down here for good if 1 can help It, but there is no harm in trying. The place on the square was a two room studio apartment. Some one up town had given them the address, and they had decided to try it while they weie in the neighborhood. But when they finally climbed the stairs and were ushered into the rooms, Janet shook her head. They were larga rooms, but had evidently belonged to a person of wealth who had furnished them for a fad and then had left the atmosphere of Bohemia as a reason for asking more rent. There were only two rooms and a bath, but they were heavily tapestried and looked like the studios in a book. The bath was lovely, evidently a recent addition, for it boasted of a sunken tub and immaculate white tiling, but the rent was SBO, even if the place had possessed a kitchenette, a price far ex ceeding what they could afford to pay. A Giltleil Cage "Anyway," Janet said as they left, "I don't want that kind of a place, do you? I want a bare old room that we can fix up ourselves, not a gilded cage." And Jarvis grinned and wished they were anywhere else at that moment, so that he could tell his girl what she meant to him in the proper way. They wandered up Fifth avenue slow ly, looking at the old business houses as they passed, but, as Jarvis said, the kind of a place they wanted would not be advertised. . "Janet, I have an idea." he said sud denly. "Dick Armstrong told me about a place up in the Thirties. I didn't pay much attention to him at the time be cause we hadn't decided things definite ly then, and I don't know Just what, kind of a place it is. anyway. But it seems to me that Dick said it was a gold mine for any one who could fix it up." Janet's face brightened until it fairly radiated. "We'll go right up there," she said eagerly, "and even if the place is taken, we might get some more ad dresses. Anyway, it's a chance."

Judge Prigg gave Mrs. Selma Priesen's child into the keeping of sC family in Hutchin son. Then he granted the mother ali mony and a divorce from John Frie sen. The courtroom emptied. Mrs. Frie sen stepped out into the snow-covered street. Friesen, too, left. Outside he saw his wife of a few minutes be fore pause in indecision. He approached her. They conversed brokenly for a few minutes, then smiled. And to-day the divorce will be swept aside by another marriage. But the couple will have to go to court to win hack their baby. "Just a misunderstanding," Frie sen explained the divorce. "Neither of us meant it." Mrs. Friesen smiled and agreed. Kissing Not Crime, Girl Goes Free Beaverbrook, N. Y.. Jan. 16. —Miss Ida Aiken, 17 years old, of Southfields, was before Justice Lucius 'Hartnett on complaint of Mrs. Anna Fawcett, of Beaverbrook, who alleged that the yoijng woman, while scuffling with a youth, fell from a fence and smashed some bushes she set out last spring. The judge remarked that as it seemed to be an accident more than mis chievous he would dismiss the com plaint. "But she was kissing that lad," said Mrs. Fawcett, "when she did the dam age. I saw her through the cur tains." "Suppose she did," said the judge, "we were all young once."

If she cares as much for you as she should she'll send for you one of these days." "Do you think so!" There was such intense eagerness in his voice that Geraldine, with difficulty, repressed a frown. "Certainly," she replied promptly. "If she doesn't, Billy, she isn't worthy breaking your heart over. And, if she doesn't, you can come right back to your old friends. We'll stick by you no jnatter what you do. Do j you remember how quickly we for gave you after the morning you and Tommy wanted me to breakfast at old Christian's?" She laughed lightly, and then, with sudden seriousness, she leaned forward. They were sit ting in the conservatory, with a big green palm spreading back of her, just where one of the fanlike leaves made a crown for her hair of golden brown. "My conscience has always hurt me about that morning, Billy. I; was very wrong to have sent you i away. I should have had you stay to j breakfast. I was bad!" She was very lovely as as she lift- j ed her soft eyes to his. There was i a pretty flush on her smooth, round j cheeks, and her hand, as she laid it | upon his in her earnestness, was ten- : der and warm. He caught it, and I held it in gratitude. "You were a brick, Geraldine!" and he drew her arm within his own as he sat on the bench, beside her. "I never blamed you for turning me loose that way. I'm not fit for any nice girl. I'm a worm!" "You're no such thing!" she in dignantly denied. "You're a dear old Billy; and, while I don't like to criticise Tavy, I do really thing she was as bad as I. She should have taken you in that night, and helped you, and given you a good scolding, and made you promise to behave. Why, goodness, Billy, every live young man passes through that stage! Tavy has no right to make a world-with out-end tragedy of it!" She touched the wrong chord there, for Billy broke loose again. Tavy was the most wonderful creature in the world, the most adorable, the most desirable; and, for a solid half hour, Geraldine was compelled to lis ten to a minute dissection of Tavy's charms,- and abilities, and sweetness, and general, all-round super-perfec tion. It would have been monoton ous to almost any one, but Geraldine stood it with exceptional fortitude, and she wound up her trial as sweet ly as she had begun. "You poor Billy!" she sympath ized. "I won't have you miserable like this. I'll see Tavy to-morrow afternoon, and, if you'll come here for dinner, I'll tell you all about it." "You're a good fellow, Geraldine!" and there was a gulp in Billy's voice, as he patted her plump hand. "You bet I'll be here to dinner!" CHAPTER XIX Tavy Takes a Music L/esson Geraldine Benning, mauve to-day from bonnet to slippers, was gush ingly delighted to see her dear friend Tavy, and she said so with many little nods of the mauve plumes. "And, frankly, I've brought you out here in the park to scold you," she concluded, turning slowly into the beautiful curves of the West Drive. Tavy smiled wistfully, which was easy to do, since there was so much wlstfulness in the big dark gray eves. "I don't mind. It will be rather a novelty. What is the scolding to be about?" "Billy," and Geraldine uast a quick little sidelong glance to see the effect of the simple word. What she saw made the tips of the mauve plumes jerk, for there was an instant piteous twitch at the corner of the exquisite ly curved lips, and the big dark eyes contracted sharply. They glUtened as if with moisture. "You know, then." No conceal ment in the voice, no attempt to hide that there had been bitter suffering; and no parade of it. The mauve plumes Jerked again. "Of course." A contented little laugh. "Dear old Billy came straight to me. He's been telling me his troubles ever since wo were kiddies together." If that bit of information had been intended to another twitch to the lips of Tavy, it was two edged; for Geraldine herself winced somewhat in the telling. "He's dread fully unhappy." "We all are," acknowledged Tavy. "I don't think mother will ever quite get over it." "Why not?" The tone of Qerald JANUARY 16, 1917! ine was sharp. "One would thin Billy had committed some terrlb! crime, in place of merely having had an accident. He's a good Billy, and I consider that he's been abused." That was better. A little flush crept into the cheeks of Tavy, urrd the dark eyes began to glow. It was not unpleasant to hear Billy defend ed, in fact, he needed defense: but it was Tavy who should be doing it, not the girl to whom he had run with all his troubles. "I am sure that Billy does not be lieve that he was abused." The plumes nodded, as if they laughed. "Not Billy. He blames him self for everything. He was contrite in just the same way, after he came to our house one time in tn-3 same condition. Of course I was furious, but I forgave him two days after wards. I don't think an unfortunate weakness like that should, be held against any one." Tavy,was thoughtful, too thoughtful to answer, too thoughtful to enjoy, or even to notice, the tender grean leaves which waved down upon the shining little coupe; and she smooth ed and smoothed at the seam in her mouse-colored frock, the color of which brought out her pallor and her wistfulness and her pathos, qualities over which the mauve plumes nod ded with savage little bobs. So this was not the first time for Billy. Could it be possible that Tavy's mother was right, that Billy was one of those who are doomed to bear this curse through life; and she shuddered as she thought of the pitiful revelation concerning her father. Tavy had seen With her own eyes what this weakness had done to the Stuart family, and it was far too serious a matter for light Says Mary the Maid "So I says to Mrs. Van Cleve, I says: 'Let's give them children something for breakfast that'll last 'em till twelve o'clock.' - >A I says, 'Let's give 'em y Cream of Barley.' And /ftyfji she did and she is a g ||| sensible missus, she is. She's strong for I Cream of Barley LllJ[| talk. She stole a look at the healthy cheeks, the scarlet lips and the clear brow of Geraldine. What could Ihis girl know of sorrow or tragedy; what could she know of deep heart hurt? She was Billy's friend, the one to whom he went with all his troubles, ever since they were kiddies together! Tavy's lips compressed, as she stifled something in :ier which jumpe;l and hurt. "People like 3illy need sympathy." went on Geraldine, is as she saw that compression of the lips, an I she studied little Tavy, from black curls to gray slippers, with curious satisfaction. "His friends love him in spite of his affliction. They know that the poor boy is llkoly to have that happen to Mm a any time, but there is so much good in him that he simply must be forgiven. Very still sat Tavy, smoothing and smoothing at the seam of the little gray frock with her tiny thumb. So, all Billy's friends knew of his weak ness, and that It was chronic, and that it was likely to occur again and again, and that ho m'ist bo forgiven and forgiven, and that after eacli forgiveness he was likely to como to the door, at the most unexpected limes-, with that somothin,? in h'tn which was not Billy, leering its red ! leer and snarling its red snarl out of a cruelly distorted and disennobled countenance. Could Tavy's mother I ever endure that again ' Why, for years before Tavy had como into tho world, and after, Jean Stuart had h'fd in the hourly drcid that Iris .\wful thing was to happen again. She never saw her husband leave the house that she did not live in an agony of fear until she looked in hi 3 eyes and saw them clean. No, it must never happen again, never! Deeper and deeper Tavy buried her heart beneath the ashes of her once joyous hopes, and the mouse-gray of her gown crept up and blended with the delicate tint of her cheeks and obliterated it; while the gay tr.auve plumes nodded and nodded. Oh! Geraldine was talking again. What was she saying? "So I'll just bring Billy up some evening, and pop him in at the door."
