" When a Girl " By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CXXXV (Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syndicate. Inc.) "It doesn't hurt men to be jeal ous," declared Virginia, smiling at no almost wistfully across her luncheon table. "Jim isn't jealous—he hasn't any cause to be!" I returned all the more firmly because 1 didn't un derstand my own business. "But he doesn't like Mr. Norreys, so. nat urally, he won't approve ot our turning to him for help in finding Betty." "But Tony is the kind of friend people in trouble do turn to," in sisted Virginia. "Well, he's coming now. We'll make the best of it. And if I get in a row with Jim over it you'll de fend me!" "Why tell him?" asked Virginia cynically. "Oh, I wouldn't deceive Jim" — "I wouldn't have you. You're honest, little Anne. I've always known that." As Virginia spoke we smiled at each other in the beginning of un derstnntiing. "Y'ou knew that even when you —didn't like me." I said gravely. Virginia gave me honesty for honesty. "I don't know whether it's reserve but I can't make friends easily or trust too quickly. Friends hurt us too much when they have the power. That's why I think it would do Jim a lot of good to be jealous of Tony. "You mean you think Jim is the sort of man who would admire his wife all the more because he thinks she's attractive to other men?" I asked. Before Virginia could reply the maid announced "Mr. Norreys." and we ended our discussion by press ing it down and extinguishing its very embers the way a man puts out a cigarette—only the cigarette is smoked to the end, and our dis cussion had hardly begun. Even while I was greeting An thony Norreys 1 wondered if I could ever persuade Virginia to ease her heart by telling me in concrete fashion just what she had meant by "I can't trust too quickly. Friends hurt us too much when they have the power." Was Virginia remembering Pat Dalton or was she warning me against Jim?" An atmopshere of peace came into the room with Anthony Norreys. Virginia's troubles and mine seemed suddenly very far away. Even the worry over Betty began to lessen. Now that this thin-faced, worn-looking man, with his ice-blue eyes and farm voice, had come to our aid, I felt sure we should find Betty Boyle. "And you say there's no clue? The Vocational Education people have i lost track of Betty; there isn't a' sign of her over at and the day there isn't everf-ka word from Terry—poor lad." That was how Mr. Norreys sum- i med it all up, and I repeated after ' hi m: "There's no clue; not the least ! sign of a clue." He smiled at me gravely, like a i kind big brother, and shook his : head ' But there is a clue, child. There's always a clue. Just now we're all j blind to it, but before long we shall j see it." "We've done everything." In in sisted sadly. if stubbornly. "Then let's do more go over everything again," said Mr. Nor reys. Then he turned to Virginia. "Where did you first meet Betty, Vee?" "Out at a little inn" began Vir ginia. But I leaped to my feet and flung out my arms in sudden joy. "Miss Moss!" I cried, "Miss Moss —she'll tell us! Oh, Anthony Nor reys, you've found the clue!" I was babbling like a child one minute; and the next Anthony Nor reys had calmed me down and I was explaining what I meant and how I had come to think of it. "You asked Virginia where she first met Betty. And you said 'Vee' —that's Phoebe's name for Virginia —so it flashed across my mind that, when you two first met. Phoebe was probably always along." "Oh. Anne, what has that to do with it?" cried Virginia impatiently", "Rut it has everything to do with it, Vee. dear," said the man so sooth ingly and kindly that the threat- Whnt Gorge.

"Well, then —I thought of the lit tle inn where I'd tirst met Betty, and who was always along—a funny little woman with a face I thought was wabbly like a poached And her name came to me. It was Miss Moss, Betty's companion. Kor a long time 1 haven't seen her, but if Betty is ill or in trouble, she might have her again. Betty would get a paid companion instead of bothering any of her friends. She would," I declared almost breat lessly as I concluded my long speech. "You know Betty. She would do just that:" declared Anthony Nor reys. "And to find Miss Moss!" "Do you know how to find her?" i asked Virginia eagerly. My heart sank as I realized that I i hadn't the faintest notion where I Miss Moss lived. (To be continued) Advice to the Lovelorn ASKING FATHER Dear Miss Fairfax: I am eighteen and have been going about with a young man four years my senior for three months. He ask ed me several times to marry him, but I have always refused for the simple reason that he has not as yet asked my father's permission, and also that I think I have plenty of time in which to get married. Now, Miss Fairfax, my family are all against him for no special reason and have repeatedly told me, though they have not as yet demanded that I give him up. I know you will tell me to talk it over with my parents, but I have done so over and over again. i but to no avail. When I asked my I friend when he is going to ask my father he always tells me that he : will the first chance he gets, but he always seems to put it oft. * G. R. Why don't you try to give your family a better opinion of this young man before you insist on the mo i mentous interview? Surely you wish j him to be received favorably. Or are , you so little in love with him that j you are indifferent as to his success ; with your parents? i THE TOBACCO PROBLEM | Dear Miss Fairfax: I am going about with a young 1 man whom I have grown to regard ,as more than a friend. The only | thing that I do not like about him |is that he smokes a great many j cigarets. I have asked him to stop | smoking, and we have many argu- I ments. Do you think I am right in 'asking him to stop? A CONSTANT READER. It is a reasonable thing to ask and it will be greatly to the young man's advantage if he gives up smoking for your sake. I wish that all young men who smoke excessively could be persuaded to make this sacrifice. i ~3zzzzzzmzzzziimziiiz^ DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS A SMART COSTUME FOR HOME OR CALLING Waist 2743 and Skirt 2742—C0m- I prising Ladies' Waist Pattern 2743, and Ladies' Skirt Pattern 2742.

Sometimes a constant cause of trouble is found in the methods of certain adult relatives who never have acquired the fine habit of at tending strictly to their own busi ness. "When we happen to be fortunate enough to determine the exact cause of trouble, we should strive to remove that cause, no matter what it chances to be. Some mothers told me they hesi '^t e d to speak to their relatives, lest they become offended. But the sub ject can be talked over in a most friendly way and without hurting anyone s feeling in the least. Let us take a typical case. One mother writes to me; "I have a 'Grandparent Prob lem.' My husband's parents who live only a few steps away simply idolize my five-year-old son. There isn't a thing under Heaven, reason able or unreasonable, that they won't give him if he only wants it. They try in every way to shield him from punishment and whenever he wants anything he runs to them, even after I have refused. This is provoking. He now will hardly pay any attention to what I say. I want your help." The grandparents of your five year-old son seem to have suc ceeded in spoiling him. Some rel atives seem to be especially adept at this. But it really is a serious matter and if I were you I would deal directly with the grandparents. Go and have a talk with the one who seems to be the principal offender.

Tell her that you believe your j five-year-old son is old enough to ; be taught to obey. 1 Continue somewhat like this: "I I think one mistake 1 have made in ■ the past is to tell him to do some thing and then let him get off with , out doing it, which naturally en couraged him in the habit of dis obeying. What I should have done i was to give a command only when I really needed to have him do something and then insist that he i must do it. If I had made this a | rule, he would obey naturally.

Do not allow her to take vour j request in an unfriendly way. Be ; that she understands your I kind and proper attitude and she very probably will respond favor ably. Of course, if she should be unreasonable after you have given more than half way to get her co operation, do not say unkind words to her; simply leave her with a slight smile to show that you 4iave perfectly self-control and" do not allow your son to visit her at all. Build up in your son a greater love and respect for you. This can be done through ply. Make him have a good time, and, while under your supervision, give him practice in executing various little orders for you which will promote his play. He thus will learn to love you more as a result of this companionship and at the same time his obedience of your orders will become a habit. ; (Copyright, 1919, Thompson Feature Service.)

Everybody has some pet plan or purpose in view, some project or am bition he has long cherished, but which for one reason or another he has never been able to carry out. To take an illustration from the most familiar, I have never yet known ah author who did not have ! an especial story which he wanted to I write, which he fully intended some time to write, and yet which some how never gets written. And I sup | pose, the same rule holds in every ! other vocation—with the inventor | and the musician, the artist, the i salesman, the manufacturer, the me ! ehanic,' the farmer and the financier. And the reason Is that every one of us fritters away his time. We are as prodigal with our minutes and even our half-hours as we used to be i in the old wasteful, pre-Hoover days with our sugar and our flour. Now time, as we all learned from our copy-books, Is money. But it is more than that—wisely used, it is reputation, success, th e very pinnacle lof achievement. It is man's most I valuable asset, and the one he usually j values least, until he sees it running ! low. Think what it might have meant !to the science of aviation if a few | more years had been granted to Wil bur Wright, to American literature if j Jack London and O. Henry had staid with us a little longer. Think what j it would have meant to human prog ! ress if Abraham Lincoln had lived through another decade. Yet we all squander time as reck lessly as the proverbial drunken sailor does his pay. We allow our selves to be drawn off constantly into side issues of the most doubtful ad vantage to ourselves if any. We per mit ourselves to be imposed on by time sponges and deadbeats, and lack the rterve to call a halt on It. The most Important person In the world to each of us Is himself, and (he one whose claims should be first considered. I don't mean by that to uphold selfishness or a lack of pub lic spirit. One owes something both to his neighbor and to the commun ity in which he lives. But one has a right to resent being robbed. In a great emergency, such as we have Just passed through, and where so many were freely offering their lives, it was not too much to ask that one should give all, both of time and of substance. But we are returning now to normal conditions, and in view of the wreckage of war and the great amount of work to be done, it stands us all In hand to take stock of what we have and make careful provi sion. What, then, of the great asset. Time? We have seen how by a con certed effort of the whole people to restrict waste in just a few staples vast tons of those commodities have been saved, and that, too, without actual hardship to anybody. Imagine then the years and centuries and ages of wasted time that could be saved if a similar effort were applied in that direction. And that does not mean any diminuation of the periods we give up to amusement and relaxation and seeing our friends and the calls of charity or public service and the pursuit of our various hobbies, As a matter of fact, we should probably have more leisure for all those things. It simply means we should do with our time as the housewives did with food, and keep an eye on the garbage pail. This is an era of budgets. The fa vorite indoor sport this winter, I un derstand, is to gather around the family lamp with pencil and paper and fund the family income. Every magazine one picks up has a half dozen or more advertisements of vari ous systems to promote domestic economy. The old dragon, the High Cost of Living, is being assailed on every side by valiant St. Georges armed with carefully ruled columns and methodically entered figures. ; If it's a good plan to budget one's finances, why Isn't it a good plan to budget one's time? Every scheme of "the sort has to be fitted to individual requirements, of course; but for a general rule, the old division stands as well as any other—eight hours for labor, eight hours for outside interests, eight hours for sleep. Only stick to it. ! Don't let yourself or anybody else j encroach upon those periods. Have I a stated time for the telephone pests ; and the people who "won't keep you a ' minute." Cut out the temptation to drop things while you run out to do a little shopping or to see how your sick friend is getting along. Women are the greatest squan derers of time. The old adage has it that a woman's work—meaning the care of a household—ls never done. That is because she wastes herself, her time by her lack of method. I hazard the assertion that today; with proper intelligence and system, any house can be faultlessly run on eight hours of actual work. _ Keep to a fixed division of time. Know what is the next thing you are going to do. prepare for it. and do it. Don't let yourself be drawn off by side issues. Work while you work and play while you play. Watch the garbage pail constantly for wasted moments. 1 If that regimen were generally fol lowed, the world would advance by leaps and bounds, and all the pet stories and inventions and composi tions and schemes and deqls that are always "going to be done" would be accomplished.
