CHAPTER XXXVIII
Copyright, 1918, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.
Jim's working day begins at 8,
and the cap foctory lies across the
river. So I had to get up at 6 this
morning. I woke Jim half an hour
later. But Xeal, whose Job didn't
summon him till 9, I permitted to
sleep until Jim was almost ready for
breakfast, then I hurried my brother
off to the bathroom to wash and
shave, and tried to tidy up his room
a bit before I served Jim's breakfast
on the refectory table.
Jim had small appetite for his
coffee. I didn't blame him. Over on
the window sill lay Neal's collar and
tie. His blue serge coat was draped
across the back of a chair and his
hat hung crazily on a branch of one
of the Italian torcheres. The room
had an air of having been in. It
was from this tawdry setting that
Jim limped off to his day's work.
An hour later I saw Xeal start
jauntily away. And then I grimly
set the place in order.
Scarcely had I finished when Evvy
arrived. While I dressed she perched
costly on my bed and began to chat
about "that icicle of a Bryce wom
an," and "handsome Captain Wins
ton," and "poor, wicked Pat Dalton."
There I stopped her; I didn't want
to learn anything about the husband
of Jim's sister. Virginia, from Evvy.
Evvy flitted from the subject good
naturedly.
"Put on the cunning little dress
you wore yesterday," she said. "It's
so becoming."

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita

shrink, loosen and then the hair
comes out fast. To stop falling hair
at once and rid the scalp of every
particle of dandruff, get a small bot

for a few cents, pour a little in your
hand and rub it into the scalp. After
several applications the hair stops!

p. PR* J- H. 3CHENCK & SON, Philadelphia
SATURDAY EVENING,
i I crossed obediently to the chair
| where 1 had put the dress to air the
! night before, and as I lifted It the
telegram from Tom Mason fell from
j its folds. The yellow paper was
! scented with my violet satchet—lt
! had an intimate air. I crumpled it
; in my hand, remembering that It had*
I lain all yeterday in the bosom of
1 my dress.
"Isn't It cool enough for a suit?"
I asked. "Anyway, I hate to wear the
same dress two days in succession—
I think they wear out so much |aster
i that way."
I "Maybe," responded Evvy, indif
ferently—whether or no dresses
wore out quickly was of small mo
j ment to her.
I crept into my closet to slip out
of' my kimono and into a suit; but
• before I emerged, fully clad, I hajl
i torn the telegram into tiny bits.
Then 1 put on my hat, and we
started at once for Tom Mason's;
but the morning had slipped away,
and it was noon before we arrived.
There is something solid and e
assuring about Mr. Mason's digni
fied, ofd-fashioned house. And his
quaint, old-fashioned housekeeper, in
her gray mohair and dainty white
kerchief, gave me a glimpse of some
thing very sweet in Mr. Mason's na
ture, The "Old Lady," as Evvy called
Mrs. West right to her face, spoke of
Mr. Mason as "Tommie." and when
I saw how this sweet-faced, white
haired woman loved "her boy" 1 was
ashpmed of every doubt I had ever
felt of Tom Mason.
Mrs. West had sent Jim's pack
gae down to the Mason offices, think
ing that it might contain something
that "Tommies" secretary needed
fo" some interior deco-atlng work
they were taking up. I wanted to-go
for it at once, but that violated all
Mrs. West's ideas of hospitality, and
we simply had to stay to luncheon —
a delicious affair, as dainty as the
"Old Lady" herself.
After lunch Evvy suggested a
matinee, some shopping, all sorts of
ideas that would delay my getting
that parcel off to Mr. Mason. And
he-nedeed it by Wednesday! I got
more and more flurried, in my de
sire to go to the office at once. And.
in the end, I had to reveall to Evvy

| the whole story of the blue robe her
! cousin had given to me," so much
| against my wishes, and which he
now was "borrowing" from me —to
my great relief. Evvy gurgled with
delight.
' "Oh, Anne, isn't that too cunning! 1
Tom has a really-truly-for-sure
J 'crush' on you."
This annoyed me, but when we
got to Tom's office and found Mrs.
| Varden there Evvy rose to the oc
l casion and proved herself a real j
j friend. She demanded the package
, as her own, addressed it herself and,
| affixing a special delivery stamp, an
| nounced that she was going to hurPy
I it right over to the post office, as her
; Tomnjie was the most impatient
cousin in the world. What Mrs. Var
den would have said to me, if Evvy
| had not protected me, I hate to try I
to guess, for even so she clawed a bit
—poisonously.
i "Glad to see your intimacy with j
! the Mason cousins is growing, dear \
i Mrs. Jimmie. If I knew as well how :
i to work them I wouldn't be having !
1 such trouble in getting an apartment. I
; You found it so easy!" - 1 -j
Evelyn was ready for her. As we j
swung out of the office she purred
I,her "retort courteous:"
"Oh, dear Mrs. Varden, don't' tell
jus that a woman asjclever as you i
I has any trouble in—managing—sini- i
pie folks like up!"'
i "Hope she likes that!" continued
j Evelyn, as:,.the elevator whirled us
, down to the street and the little
; blue car. - "But I warn you, Anne—
don't let that old vixen get any
thing on you. Be vary careful how
you play around with Tommie!"
By now we were seated in her'
car and whirling away to the post
office with the rescued package.
After we had posted it we went
I for a drive and to do a bit of shop
j ping, and then there seemed nothing
to do but ask Evvy home to dinner.
She was a wonderfully helpful ltt-
I tie guest, and by the time my boys
I returned we had a fine meal pre- I
| pared. Neal was delighted to see
his "Lady Evelyn." And even Jim
thawed. We ecited the story of the
robe and of our encounter with Mrs.
Varden. and he appreciated that
Evvy'had saved the day.
I was very happy to see that the)
breach between Jim and this old !
friend was healing. And Evvy didn't
try to conceal her happiness.
"I want to feel that Anne can al- j
ways count on 'me," she said earn- i
estly.
And Jim replied:
"That makes me realize that I can
count on you, too, Evvy."
Neal felt a bit out of things for a ;
time, but his hour struck when Evvy '
left, for of course he was permitted 1
|to escort her. Just as she was going i
i Evvy seized my hand and whispered: j
"I'm glad Tom only asked you to j
| 'lend' him that gorgeous robe. Be '
sure to get it back—it's a beauty. |
Jimmie won't mind—he likes pretty !
j things; and my big cousin can af- !
ford to buy them for—a friend."
I "Evvy!" I gasped. "You sha'nt'
think such things of Jim—and me!" ;
"Nonsense, girlie—don't pose as a
goody-goody to a pal," laughed Evvy. t
t Then she kissed me and tripped out [
lof my room into the living room :
! where Neal stood waiting for her.
Bm closed the door after her and I
i turned to me:
! "What's the matter, sweetheart? '
i Your cheeks and eyes are blazing." I
He crossed the room and laid his >
hand on my burning cheek. At his
I touch, my feverish tension relaxed. |
I pulled his dear hand around to my I
lips and laid them on it tenderly. !
As it that kindled him, Jim caught j
me in straining arms, and mur- '
mured: j
! "We're alone, dear—alone at last." j
I nestled against him for a mo- ;
ment and then I forced myself to
think of practical things.
"Yes, dear—we're alone. Now we '
can tallk. Tell me how do you like
the new work?"
"It's all right. Everything's alright 1
—while I have you. But don't make I
me talk about business now, dear.
Lean close against me, sweetheart
and tell me you love me. That's what j
I want to hear.
And I told him what he wanted to I
! hear.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
HETI HN OF FRIENDSHIP RIND
DEAK MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been going regularly for I
over a year with a young man whose '
company 1 enjoy very much. I could
not love him well enough to think
seriously of our friendship, though' he
showed his love fof me.
Through some argument We have
1 broken our relations and I doubt
| whether we will ever be friends again.
He has given me a diamond ring tnot
|an engagement ring )and 1 am In
i doubt whether 1 should return it.
K. S.
1 think you ought not to retain a
| gift of thq.t nature if your friendship
|is broken. Why not return the ring
| with a note?
| WISHES TO BECOME ACQUAINTED
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
j lam very fond of a girl who lives
! across the street from me, and her
; appearance seems very sweet and at-
I tractive. I do not know if I love her,
! but I should be delighted to meet her.
I Please tell me how I can do so, as I j
;do not know any of her friends. I '
j don't want, either, to raise any false ;
I hopes.
J. A.
There is no way of becoming ac- ,
i quainted with a well brought-up
: young girl except through an intro- j
1 duction by one of her friends or
] yours. As to raising false hopes, ;
i aren't you anticipating things a lit- '
j tie?
SH ALL, SHE CONGR ATULATE HIM f 1
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I would appreciate an immediate I
answer to my question, as the young ,
man is going across shortly. I knew
him a few years ago before he enlist
ed in the Navy, and now I hear he !
has been promoted to be an ensign.
Would it be proper for me to write
and congratulate him on his promo
tion?
CONSTANT READER.
By all means, write him a nice let
ter and congratulate him on his pro
motion.
WANTS TO MAKE UP
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 18 years of age and have been
going about with a young man for the
past five months. Not long ago our
j friendship was broken and we parted
for no reason whatever and I have not
! seen or heard of him since. I write
J him a letter which he has not answer
|ed and I know he has not >' e l gone :
l on the other £tde. I love this young |
j man dearly, and I would appreciate I
l it very much if you would advise me j
! what to do to regain his friendship,
j . • EDNA. ;
If you have written -the young man
a letter and he has not answered it,
; there is really nothing else that you j
jean do without loss of dignity. Per-;
' haps you may happen to meet him ,
' some time by chance and then act as i
:>if nothing had happened and see if i
this will bring about any explanation |
; of his curious conduct.
