    jJ> THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER
CHAPTER XVII
The unseasonably warm weather
•nded in a three days' storm.
On the second day a telegram
came from Mrs. Hlggins saying that
her sister was dead. The funeral
would be on Sunday.
"We must go down to Hartford
to attend it," Honora declared when
she had read the sad news to Mil
dred.
"Why?" Mildred demanded.
"Out of respect for Mrs. Higgins,"
Honora replied firmly. "There is no
use in arguing about it, Milly. We
must go."
"All right. That settles it," the
other agreed, stretching and sigh
ing. "Ye gods! what weather we are
having! And not a thing has hap
pened in two days."
"You mean you have not been to
any social affairs," her sister sug
gested. "You have had lots to do
at the office, however."
"Yes, I have," Mildred admitted.
"But I was not referring to work.
I was thinking about pleasant
things happening.'
"You had a call from James Stead
last night," Honora reminded her.
"And he bored me to death. Most
of the Fairlands men do bore me
nowadays—except Tom and Arthur.
And they have both stayed away."
"Arthur is fearfully busy at the
office," Honora remarked.
Since the love-scene to which she
had been' an unintentional witness,
Honora had not discussed Tom
Chandler with her sister. She knew
It would only antagonize Mildred.
The two girls' ways of looking at
things were entirely different. If
Mildred loved Tom, all that her sis-
NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
A FALUNG HAIR
jSave your hair! Double its
beauty in just a few
moments.
•"Danderine" makes your hair
thick, glossy, wavy and
beautiful. *
Within ten minutes after an ap
plication of Danderine you cannot
find a single trace of dandruff or
falling hair and your scalp will not
itch, but what will please you most
will be after a few weeks' use, when
you Bee new hair, fine and downy at
first—yes—but really new hair —
growing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. It goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ens them. Its exhilarating, stimu
lating and life-producing properties
cause the hair to grow long, strong
and beautiful.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is
amazing—your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an ap
pearance of abundance; an incom
parable luster, softness and luxuri
ance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any—that it has been neg
lected or injured by careless treat
ment —that's all—you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it if
you will just try a little Danderine.

ter might say would go for nothing.
If she did not love him, and yet
had allowed him to embrace her as
she had done, it was useless to
argue with her.
Honora Uneasy.
Yet Honora was very uneasy.
Perhaps, after all, Mildred was in
love with Chendler. For the sake
of her faith in her sister'a delicacy
of feeling and innate refinement,
Honora almost wished this was so.
On the other hand, when she
thought of Chandler's record, her
heart sank within her. If Mildred
loved Tom. there was only misery
ahead for her.
Honora was seized with an illogi
cal desire to talk this matter over
with Arthur. Then she sneered at
herself as she appreciated the in
congruity of such an idea.
Arthur had telephoned several
days ago to say that he was un
usually busy and could not call at
the Brant home this week, as he had
hoped to do.
Perhaps, Honora reflected, if Ar
thur had been here Tom might not
have found Mildred such an easy
prey to his loverly attentions.
The younger girl.had dropped an
elaborately casual remark to the
effect that she expected Tom Chan
dler to call on Saturday night.
Therefore Honora was not surprised
when her sister put on an elaborate
semi-evening gown just before din
ner, but she forbore to make any
mention of it.
Yet, as the evening wore itself
away, and Tom did not appear,
Honora was sorry for the yougger
girl. Once Mildred went out into
the hall and called up Dr. Chand
ler's house. Honora heard her ask
the servant who answered the tele
phone if "Mr. Tom Chandler was at
home." She also heard her repeat
increduously, "Out of town for the
night! Are your sure? Very well.
No. there is no message."
When Mildred came back into the
library Honora did not look up from
her book, but pretended to be so
much absorbed in it that she had
not noticed her sister's departure or
return.
Mildred a Kill-Joy
After some minutes' silence, dur
ing which Mildred sat gazing mood
ily into the open fire, the reader
laid down her book.
"Suppose," she suggested, "that
we play cards."
"I don't feel like it," Mildred said
listlessly. "Hark! Just listen to
that rain!"
"It's a regular equinoctial storm,
isn't it?" Honora commented. "Do
you remember how, when we were
kiddies, we used to sit here by the
fire with mother on stormy even
ings and pretend that the wind was
wolves crying outside?"
"Yes," Mildred said, "It must
have been rather stupid in those
days, Just as it is now—only we did
not know it."
"It was not stupid," Honora de
murred, "and, dear, it is not stupid
now if we only get interested in a
lot of things."
"Aren't you ever bored?" her sis
ter inquired curiously.
"No," jvas the honest response,
"not bored. I am sometimes a bit
depressed."
"You have so little that's inter
esting in your life I should think
you would be bored," Mildred ob
served, with sisterly candor.
Honora glanced at the clock.
"Suppose," irrelevantly, "that we go
to bed now. ,We'll have to make an
early start to-morrow to get to
Hartford in time for that funeral at
two o'clock."
Mildred laughed harshly. "You
actually are reminding me of that
funeral as if it were a means of
diversion!" she exclaimed, "You
are certainly a queer one, Honora.
No wonder you never get bored, if
fune:als are the type of entertain
ment you enjoy!"

LITTLE TALKS BY
BE A TRICE FAIRFAX
Baby gardens have so far blos
somed only here and there.
But I believe that in ten years
from now cities and towns will be
abloom with them.
They are going to do away with
nursemaids, and also with the
overworking of older sisters. They
are going to simplify life enor
mously for distracted mothers. Yet
their real object is quite different
from any of these.
Baby gardens are planned to pro
vide the best possible conditions
under which little children of from
one to three years old can be happy
and comfortable, and develop natu
rally in health, strength and intelli
gence.
Some mothers won't like this idea
—until they really understand it.
They will say that they prefer to
take care of their own babies, thank
you, and that they have no intention
of allowing them to be out of sight
and reach for an entire day at a
time What in the world did they
have babies for, if they are going to
deprive themselves of. the opportun
ity to love them as much as they
like?
Perhaps the best way to convince
a mother who talks like this is to
show her a baby garden in actual
operation.
A couple of large, sunny rooms is
the indispensable setting—supple
mented, of course, by bathroom,
kitchen, sleeping-porch and outdoor
playground. Three persons at least
will be in charge—a specially edu
cated woman who loves and under
stands babies, a trained nurse and
a scientific cook who knows how
to prepare food for young children.
In this environment there may be
as many as a dozen babies. Some
body will have brought them from
their homes in the morning and
somebody will come to fetch them
at night. During this time they will
be fed properly, they will take long
naps on the sleeping-porch and they
will be encouraged to play as much
as they like, outdoors or in, accord
ing to the weather, and either alone
or with each other. Children who
wish to be alone are given a floor
space set apart by screens.
Best of all, they don't come into
collision with grown-up life and
grown-plans and grown-up furni
ture—things for which they are per
haps punished at home.
Comfort for tho Very Young
Nothing of this sort can happen,
you see, because there are absolute
ly no grown-up furnishings in a
baby-garden, no upholstery, no bric
a-brac, none of the fragile things
that adults are always so frantically
engaged in protecting. Neither are
there any of the highly dangerous
objects that babies often encounter
in a kitchen—a range, a steaming
kettle, a flatiron.
It isn't so uncomfortable to be
two and a half feet tall if one isn't
continually giving mysterious offence
to the surrounding group of giants
and if there are chairs and tables of
one's own size. Indeed, it's good
fun to be small. One has such a
light, free feeling. And before one's
legs get too long one can see ever
so much better what is going on in
the grass and on the ground than
the giants can.
That's the real beauty of a baby
garden—that it's designed for the
babies themselves, and if anybody

f feels any discomfort there it's the
grown-ups who stray in.
Now, you cannot prevent a baby
from learning things all the time,
whatever you do with him. It's the
learning age. Blit in a baby garden
a baby is helped to learn certain
necessary and valuable things.
Thus, they are taught to help them
selves, as far as possile; to feed
themselves; as soon as they are old
enough, to dress themselves, and
even, at a very early stage, to pick
up their toys after they have finished
play. They are taught to be con
siderate and unselfish with each
other and not eternally to be insist
ing on the importance of "mine."
They are taught to love animals
and to be kind to them. And they
learn familiarity with plants and
flowers, and something of how these
grow. And whatever natural impulse
they may have to "make" things is
as far as possible encouraged—
whether with blocks or clay or pen
cil. And even the tiniest ones learn
•to run and jump and climb.
A baby who is well and interested
and who isn't slipped and scolded
doesn't whine or cry. So these are
happy babies.
Start Your Own Baby Garden
A mother might admit that all
these conditions were desirable and
yet feel that the whole question was
settled by the fact that no baby gar
den flourished within reach of her
own family.
But it 19 perfectly easy, If not for
one mother, then for half a dozen
neighboring mothers, to start their
own baby garden. It will be im
mensely interesting to work out the
details of it themselves. And they
will learn a great deal while they
are doing it.
In any case, don't dismiss this
idea as a mere fad or "frill" Did
you know that it is a great deal
more important to provide the right
conditions for children who are too
young to go to school than for the
older ones? Did you know that the
timo between nursing and school age
is really the critical period of his
life? That if you ever are going to
' take pains" with his health and
education, you ought to do it then,
even though he hasn't reached the
reading, writing and arithmetic
stage?
These years make up the most
impressionable period in the life of
a hipan being. In what way are
you going to choose to have your
particular child moulded and
trained?
It's probably true that a mother
who can give her baby all he needs
at home doesn't need to send him
to a baby garden. But how many
caft ?
The mother who employs a nurse,
or that undefined and totally un
equipped creature called a nurse
maid, for her babies, surely isn't
doing much for tHem. A nurse can
keep children clean and take them
on more or less melancholy little
walks outdoors, but only a super
nurse is lit to be entrusted with all
the questions of their health, happi
ness and general training.
The mother who cannot afford to
hire any relief for herself, and who
has to combine baby tending with
cooking, dishwashing, sweeping, sew
cooking, dishwashing, sweeping,
sewing and the personal demands
made by her husband and older chil
dren, may love her baby very much,
it is true. She may cuddle him pas
sionately whenever she has time,
and she may love to feel him cling
ing to her skirts and delight in the
sound of his questioning, trustful
little voice.
But Isn't he missing a great many
things that a baby garden could do
for him?
There Is a mother now and then
who combines In herself all the ele
ments of the best baby garden, who
In herself is arching tree and
streaming sunshine 'and running
brook and blooming rose. If moth
ers of this bountiful sort would only
stnrt and manage baby gardens for
the help of all the other mothers of
the world!

"When a Girl "
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER XCV.
(Copyright, 1918, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
"Do you really like my black and
gold living room Anne?" Asked
Virginia, with a friendly air, Indicat
ing that my opinion really mattered.
We had come in from her first
dinner party in her new home. Jim
and Anthony Norreys and Terry and
Sheldon Blake were having their
cigars in the dining room—an old
fashioned custom which Virginia
seemed to like. Virginia, Phoebe and
I had gone back to the living room
to chat for a bit until the men Joined
us.
"I love the room. It's Just right
for you. Virginia—rich, but not gau
dl laughed.
"And you'll forgive me for having
our coffee right at the table and
leaving the men to smoke in peace?
I like this recess from par
tying much better than the new cus
tom of having trte coffee in-the draw
ing room with 'smokes for women,'
too," added Virginia.
"I hate 'em both," burst In Phoebe
pettishly. "The custom's as gloomy
as this room."
Virginia placidly ignored this out
burst—but I was as amazed as if
a pet lamb had snapped at me. And
I scrambled around in my mind to
find a topic that would "clear the
air." <
Over on a black onyx console table
stood a basket of silver filagree
brimming with dark crimson roses.
Tied to the stem with a blue ribbon
was a mass of tiny pale pink "sweet
herat roses."
"What a glorious mass of colors!"
I cried. "It Just matches you. Vir
ginia, and it sets off your room."
"There! I said you didn't send
'em," said Phoebe, still employing
her rasping tone.! "Didn't I tell you
that they couldn't come from Anne
—it takes a man to think up such
things."
"It doesn't matter. • The donor
wanted them to be annonymous—so
suppose we stop trying to ferret him
or her out, Phoebe," replied Virginia.
"But I'd like to know," persisted
Phoebe hotly. "I'm not such' an Ice
berg as you. I have feelings, though
I think you'd like to believe that
I'm as cold —"
Her tirade was interrupted by the
maid, who came in timidly and said:
"Please, Mrs. Dalton— have you
been trying to get long distance,
because they say that Forty some
thing—l couldn't Just make out
what—don't be answering." •
At that a great change came over
Phoebe. She leaped to her feet and
muttering that It was a mistake,
but she'd fix it, the child rushed from
the room.
"Virginia, Phoebe's not like herself.
Is k about Neal? She seems to be
so bitter!" I crjed. "Perhaps she's
still thinking of him. She may care
more deeply than we know."
Virginia smiled with a touch of
the hauteur and arrogance I hadn't
seen for many days. But when she
replied her words were kindly
enough:
"I'm not very inquisitive, Anne. I
don't believe I've even the normal
amount o>f curiosity. Take those flow
ers, now. I just accept them. So
with Phoebe. She thinks I haven't
treated her very well. Nothing I
could say would convince her that it
was right for me to send Neal's ring
back to him. But I dton't probe Into
her little ways of working off her
resentment. It will all come right."
I felt a little snubbed. But I was
of a sudden too sorry for Virginia
to mind how she hurt me. What a
way she had staying on the surface
of things, of refusing to examine
below the outer glaze of human
emotions. I determined for once to
make a stand against her and to
put my feelings into words.
"Virginia, you must wonder who
cares enough for you, who knows
enough about you to send you those
wonderful flowers," I insisted,
a second I thought .1 saw a mls't of
Virginia's face crimsoned, and for
tears in her eyes. Then she turned
to me haughtily:
"If I can accept them, Anne, don't
you think you might? And about
Phoebe, please don't agitate yourself
unnecessarily—l've managed her for
a good many years—l know her."
"Meaning—please keep your hqnds
off and mind your own business,
Anne," I replied, with' rancor at Vir
ginia for pulling down the blinds
again and shutting me out from the
house of her life.
With a depreciating smile on her
lips and both her hands held out al
most pleading, Virginia started
serosa the room to me. Was she go
ing to say she was sorry—were we
going to find eaoh other at last?
And then Phoebe darted Into the
room—her eyee ablaze her body
quivering.
"Virginia Dalton!" she cried, "Vir
ginia Dalton—who do you think sent
those flowers? I called up Dongley,-
the florist, not long distance as that
stupid maid seemed to think"—■ she
stumbled over the words a bit, but
before Virginia could stop her she
went rushing on, "The clerk said the
man who bought those flewsrz was
very young and handsome, but bad!

gray hair—she noticed particularly—
and blue eyes. Pat—it was Pat Vee
—what do you say to that?"
For a minute it seemed as if a
flame had lighted in the slim tem
ple of Virginia's body. • Then the
light went out darkly and left her
gray.
"Phoebe—how dare you- How dare
you intrude on my privacy?" she
cried in a thin, harsh voice. "Go to
you room at once—at once."
"Won't —If I don't like. I'm not
a baby to be ordered around and hu
miliated before Anne," stormed
Phoebe.
Virginia smiled remotely. '
"Indeed? You don't hesitate to
pry into my affairs and discuss the
results of your prying before Anne."
"Oh, I bet she knew it was Pat all
along. Who'd give him your address
but Anne? I saw 'em coming out of
the Cllnsarge together one day not
so long ago," cried Phoebe trium
phantly.

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
i
Many people who have held that
hospitality is one of the kindly, ge--
nlal virtues to be practised in season
and out of season have discovered
to their dismay that it is one of the
most expensive luxuries in the whole
category. There are many famous
Instance's to attest this fact.
There was Thomas Jefferson, who
was rich and lived lavishly in his
early days. But his house was con
tantly full of guests, and his stables
so full of horses—both guests and
horses eating their heads off—that
he nearly went hungry himself.
Dumas, in spite of the vast sums
he earned by his wonderful romances
was able to lay nothing by. He
rarely sat down to a lonely meal; his
breakfasts, luncheons and dinners
were usually enlivened by the pres
ence of at least a hundred guests,
and he also had a little habit of toss
ing his gold into a table drawer, into
which all who felt the need of tem
porary reimbursement might dip
their Angers. Is It necessary to add
that he died in poverty?
The great, Prince of Orange, whose
military genius and statecraft save.d
Holland In Sixteenth Century,
was practically ruined by his mag
nificent hospitality.
Instances of the kind might be
multiplied, and they have not been
by any means confined to the great
and famous. Even the untutored In
dian quickly grasped the fact that
It was a dangerous thing for him to
accumulate too much of what stood
for wealth in the eyes of his neigh
bors. If he did, the rest of the tribe
camped down on him, and ate him out
of house and home.
All this is apropos of a sad wall
that has come to me from one of my
unknown correspondents. He begins
by saying that, so far as environ
ment Is concerned, few are so fortu
nately situated as himself. He Is
most happily married and has an
ideal home. His wife and himself are
entirely congenial, with the same
tastes, sympathies and inclinations.
In fact, the sole serpent In their
Eden- Is guests—not a guest, but
QUESTS.
His business compels him to live
in a certain cltV, and in the ajacent
country, within convenient distance
both by train and motor, he and also
his wife have a number of well-to-do
relatives, who find appallingly fre
quent reasons for cojnlng to town.
The idea 'of putting up at a hote
never seems to enter their heads, and
the result la that this man's home,
Instead of being a castle of serene
content, has become a sort of visit
ors' roost.
His cousins are constantly popping
In for a day or so; the girls to attend
to their spring, fall, or summer shop
ping, to see the dentist or to take
lessons In something or other, or to
go to the theatre or a concert; the
young men to buy new farm machin
ery, on errands of business or poli
tics, and to take in the ajnusements.
His uncles appear for the purpose
of collecting rents, going to the
bank, etc., and several elderly aunts
also seise every opportunity to Jaunt
to town to see the doctor about theis
rheumatism, or the oculist about
their eyes, or to buy things for their
various households. ,
My correspondent sAys they usually
bring with them what he bitterly
terms a "camouflage bag." This con
tains a few of those vegetables which
are still comparatively reasonable In
price, and they are embedded, sur
rounded and overlaid with parsley.
There Is always enough parsley he
complains, to supply the whole bloek
on whlah he lives. Never Under any
cireumstanaea, ha Insists, has the
"camouflage bag" been known to eon
tain a ohlcken, or a pot of butter, or
a dosen eggs. And even the beets

oanoal any obligation* the guests
may incur; and they are far from
expecting the measure they mete to
be measured unto them again. In
stead, they feel that their appetites,
naturally good and now whetted by
change of air, should be tempted by
all those hearty staples which were
once regarded as the necessities of
life and are now its soaring- luxuries.
But, ho says, that worse than the
constant unnecessary expense which
has worn his once cheerful hospital
ity to a thread, is the sense of appre
hension. When he comes home in
the evening, tired and anxious to
spend a quiet hour reading his paper,
he is just as likely as not to hear a
dreaded voice call out.: "Guess who's
here?" If he makes any plans ahead
they are certain to be interfered
with.
So, although he hates, above
everything, the thought of giving up
his happy home, still, the only way
out of his present predicament seems
to be through the open door of a
hotel.
He asks me if I can suggest some
way of meeting the situation. Of
course, he wants It handled so firmly
that there will be no misunderstand
ing of his attitude, and yet so tact
fully that his relatives will still re
main on speaking terms with him.
I am sorry to disappoint him, but
what he asks is beyond human ingen
uity. It can't bo done. Anyway,
even if I had the superhuman wis
dom to think up something se firm
and yet so tactful that a relative
could understand it without getting
angry over it, this man wouldn't say
it. He would never have the cour
age. No one would.
There are only three courses open
to him. First, the hotel. Second,
to give up his business and flee to
some far distant spot. Third, to hang
a sign on his door, "Open season for
visitors; a sniper in every window."
These may not seem practical to
him, but whatever he chooses to do

Why Druggists Reccom
mend Swamp-Root.
For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the re
markable record maintained by Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney, liver and bladder medicine.
It is a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening
medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver
and bladder do the work nature in
tended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of
years. It is sold by all druggists on
its merit and it should help you. No
other kidney medicine has so many
friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and
start treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention the
Harrisburg Daily Telegraph.
