aivd all ike K^rsviKj i When a Girl " Rjr AW LISLK j A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife ! Somewhere, once upon a time, I ] read of a boy who took his sweet heart home to his mother and, standing proudly with his arm thrown across the girl's shoulder, cried exultantly: "Mother, Isn't she wonderful?" I remembered that now with a stab of pain. For, as under the compulsion of Virginia Dalton's i mocking eyes, I dropped my arms at my side and withdrew from .Phoebe's clinging hands and Hps, ; \Jim drew closer to his older sister and. Hinging his arm about Vlr glnia's shoulders, cried happily and proudly: "Isn't she wonderful, Anne?" The very words with which I ; longed to have him present me to ; his sisters! For a moment I was too hurt to reply, then I steadied myself. At | least I needn't make Jim ashamed j, of me. "She Is wonderfully like you, Jim," I said, and turning to Vir ginia added In what X understood to make a sound as If I were chat'- ; flng myself: "And, of course, that t makes you seem 'wonderful* to i Jim's wife." Virginia smiled distantly. "Naturally, , , . May we freshen up a bit now, Anne','" I felt that she was holding me < off. AVlthout another word I took Jim's sisters into the bedroom, ; shewed them where things were, 'and went to get ready the sand- ] Standers, Walkers, j "Gets-It" for Corns World IIHH Nuer Known Its Kqunl • •What -will get rid of my corn?"

When I came into the living room with my tray, Phoebe had cuddled herself up on the couch like a little i child —her feet were tucked under her, and her head was snuggled i Into a fat cushion. Virginia was picturesquely estab -1 llshed In a high-backed Florentine chair, and Jim had flung himself on a cushion at her feet. One of her slim white hands was rumpling his hair. My hand fairly burned to push her aside. So when Jim jumped to his feet I to take the tW from me, I had a feeling of actual triumph! As Jim was pouring the first glass of fruited drink, the door swung open and Neal strode Into the room. "Hello, young fellow! Glad you're here In time to meet the girls," f cried Jim In delight that embraced everything. "Virginia, this Is Neal Hyland, j Anne's brother. Mrs. Dalton and I Phoebe, my little sister, Neal." j Neal waved his hand at what he \ i took to be a child curled up on his j couch, and then stopped to pay' tribute to Jim's "grown up" sister. Virginia looked like a tailormado goddess as she sat In the high Flor entine chair, With her small, beau ! tifutly eolffed head Hung high on , her long white throat, Neal bowed ! his red curls low, and, catching one J of Virginia's white hands in his wiry j brown paw, the youngster set a | i courtly kiss on her slim fingers, j Actually, Virginia's long lashed, re- j I mote gray eyes twinkled, I sent a i proud and delighted glance to Jim—l ; his wonderful sister was going to j I like my Neal, And then the hey burst out with I warm enthusiasm! t "I'm happy to meet Jim's folks, Mrs, Dalton. Dee-lighted! Dalton, , Dalton—any kin to a dandy chap 1 met yesterday? Pat Dalton they | call him, Virginia's face froze into a mask I of self-control that may have in ' dicated either pain er disgust, Pat Dalton was my husband," she said, Neat's face crimsoned, "Forgive me—l didn't know, I'm i sorry." Virginia bowed her head ever so , slightly, In that grave, remota j i gesture she p*ut Neal miles away | I from her. But Neal wouldn't ac ] cept his dismissal, "Say you forgive me, please. Please, Virginia, say you forgive me." "Please Mr. Hyland," Virginia put up one white hand wearily, and ! Neal drew back as if she had thrust him away. Never have I seen any ' one more thoroughly snubbed, nor' more cowed by a mere gesture, As an outlet for his anger and I hurt amazement, Neal rushed over | and poured himself a glass of lem- i | onade —then he began striding up and down the room uneasily, drink- j ing in large gulps as he moved. Virginia appeared unaware of j him. She turned to Jim, saying: "Dear, you were going to tele phone the Rochambeau for rooms. As soon as I have had another of j Anne's delicious sandwiches, I shall ; have to think about carrying my j i little Phoebe off for her beauty j sleep." And then I turned and noticed how completely Phoebe had awak- i , ened. Neal had paused in his I march and was starting down at her' pretty, rumpled hair. She looked ■ up and smiled shyly. "Hul-lo!" said the boy, in great j amazement. This wasn't a child — j i a "kid," as Jim had called her — I i Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service -*- - By McManus but a young lady, as Neal could see ' now that he really looked at her. : "Hello!" 6atd I*hoebe, demurely. Her long lashes fluttered down again, and the pink of cherry blossoms crept over her little heart shaped face. Then she untangled her ' feet from under her , and straightened up, with an eye to Virginia's ideas of propriety. I suppose. Neal took this as an In vitation and sank down at her side. Por a minute they sat quiet, look ing at each other with eyes that ' were almost frightened. Then Neal. burst out: "I thought you were n kid." ."I'm a woman grown-—seventeen!" | cried Phoebe. Then they laughed, and the Ice was broken. Soon they were deep In the process of getting acquainted. I crossed over to Virginia, "You won't want to stay long at | the hotel, I suppose," I ventured. ! "But even while you're there you j will come to me for lunch and din ner at least?" • "We'll see," my sister-in-law re plied. "I shall be very busy hunt ing an apartment." "Oh, I'd love to help you, Vir ginia. If you like I'll call for you at the hotel In the morning and take you to the Mason offices. I'm sure they will be able to give you Just what you want —they did so well for ! us," I cried. "My dear Anne, you need not trouble yourself, I am an old New 1 Yorker—and shall manage very nicely—without the Masons," re turned Virginia, I felt that I had presumed—that ! she had intended her words to con vey "without the Masons—or you!" | Before I could reply, Neal burst ! out enthusiastically, His faith in j himself had been quite restored by Phoebe's evident admiration, "Say, folks, make your plans with- i out the Junior members of the , family for to-morrw night, Phoebe : and I are going on a party with j Evelyn Mason and Sheldon Blake," i "Jim, are those the Masons who once lived next to us?" asked Vir- I ginia with lifted eyebrowa. "The same. Don't you remember Teni and his little cousin, Evvy?" "Evvy!" I knew that 'Virginia, was recalling to mind the affair be- [ tween Jim and Evelyn, though she j said no more than the girl's name. ! "No, Phoebe, dear—Mr. Hyland must j make his plans without including | you. You are far too young, dear, to go to his—parties." Again Virginia had eliminated Neal from her scheme of things— brushed him aside. "Come, Phoebe," she said, and swept into my bedroom to get her hat and furs. Phoebe rose, her eyes tear-filled. ( She took a step forward, then for- i getting her own pain and remem- j bering his hurt, she turned and i slipped her hand into Neat's with j a quick little confiding gesture. "I'm sorry, Neal." said Phoebe. I "I'd —I'd be glad to go anywhere I you took me." (To Be Continued) Large Draft Calls Early in November Washington, Oct. 31.

KARRISBURG TELEGRAPH: LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED By Mro. Wilson Woodrow Why Is It that when anyone says: "How are you?" a simple salutation, by the way, that so many people tokej It as an Invitation to pour forth all j the happenings to being and health; that have occurred since the last ! meeting? Thoy will relate every! twist and turn that flesh and blood I have achieved or Imagination pic tured. Nor are they diverted by Inattention from their purpose to re late every symptom and every detail. They seem to feel It a sacred duty to; tell It all. ' I was moved to consider this one • night, not long ago, when I was obliged to listen to a conversation be-i tween a girl and a young officer who! had rushed up to say: "How arel you?" and many other things, doubt-j less, had ho had. a chance, for he! breathed health and Vigor, But tho| girl began. She had had the most awful time alnca sho last saw him. Been an invalid. Was yet, And the | last, most horrible thing had been the ! dentist. She talked glibly of X-rays! and symptoms end seemed not to con sider that there was a mental Immod esty In thus unveiling her poor body and Its ills for the gaae of man. The young officer broke In once or twice, Said he was so sorry. In an interval he began to tell of some mar velous stunts he had recently seen. One oeuld see that he was an athlete himself, but the girl would not listen. He looked so fine and fit, so healthy minded, One could understand that he had disciplined his body, that he had taken good care that it should not master him, but that he should con trol It as far as he oould, It was just the other way with the girl. Bhe had watched and pet ted and pampered that body of hers i so much that it had become her task-J master, It demanded constant toll of I her, and behaved just as a spoiled ' child does, Itefußed to permit any; consideration but itself. At least I, heard her physician say so in an ex-j asperated way. He remarked that ahe had been ill and that she had entirely! recovered, hut that he could not, make her believe so. Invalidism had, become an interesting pose to her. 'I wish sho had her living toj make and had to earn everything she eats and wears. She'd forget her-1 self," he growled. . \ That reminded me of the epigram j of a great Frenchman: "Nothing! worth while comes as a gift, nor oven! can be bought cheap." We really have j to work In some way for everything; that is worth while, even health, for wo must discipline our bodies in its, interest. "Why not put her at earning heri living?" T suggested. "I've tried it," he answered gruffly. "Didn't work." But what a Joyous thing it is toj hear the person who answers. "How are you?" with the homely, old-fash lcned "Feeling fine. Never was bet ter." It is mental sunshine. And semetlraes that very assertion will ■ bring a "feelinc fine" to the person! who asserts it if ha is not very fit at the moment. Moreover, it is kindly consideration for others.

They could talk of nothing but dis aster and their apprehensions. Many of them, too, were worried about their families and friends caught in the war zone somewhere, It was a dole ful company, No one smiled, No one dreamed of laughing—at least among those burdened men and women with them. But a girl laughed, You could hear her all over the ship because everyone else was so still and gloomy, She didn't giggle, She laughed—a real hearty, wholesome, bubhling, merry laugh, People lis tened, stopped talking gloom to lis ten, then they began to crowd around her and tell her stories to make her ' laugh.

Advice to the Lovelorn MEETING WITHOUT INTRODUC TION" DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: | My sister, a girl friend and I went to a park, where we had a few dances I together. While my sister and her 1 friend went on the floor a young man ; in uniform asked me if I would dance. I accepted, with the thought he was far away from home, serving Uncle Sam. and it was my place to make things pleasant. I found him Inter esting and allowed him to see us home, when I invited him to call. He sailed for France and on his return trip took my sister and me to the theater and brought us straight home at an early hour. He Is again on shore leave, and I received a letter telling me he would like to pay sister and rae a visit and could he bring one of his mates with him; My parents objected to his calling on us because we had not been prop erly introduced. But I know he means well, and I feel a sailor far away from home Is lonesome and might be enter tained with a little music. I am sure he would enjoy it better than sitting on a park bench. S. M.
