"When a Girl "

A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
Xeal leaped to his feet and stood 1
rigid—at attention.
Fifteen minutes before I had seen |
Phoebe standing like this with the |
jade necklace at her feet. And now, j
with my heart feeling as if it were j
clamped to the middle of my throat, ;
1 turned, knowing what to expect.
But, as a matter of fact, I hadn't j
known quite what to expect. . . . j
There in the doorway as 1 had, of
course, guessed—stood Phoebe. But
such a different Phoebe.
Above a sophisticated center part- |
ing her hair was drawn from her j
little ears and piled high in a groat !
puffs of curls. From those ears,
reddened slightly at the lobes, hung
her jade earrings. Her lips and
cheeks were reddened too, and her
wide, wistful eyes were narrowed
and hardened by the black lines
drawn under them to elongate them. !
She had wrapped herself in my
••oral-colored Peignoir and over it
hung her jade necklace.
She looked very beautiful and very
worldly and very ridiculous, poor!
baby.
Xeal stood staring at her, and for |
a second she started back. For all [
their absurd paint, her lips had a
childish sweetness and a pathetic I
droop. In a moment or two that
was gone. And Phoebe came for
ward, both hands swung out in a
welcome that lost all savor and flav
or for the words that rendered it
meaningless. "Lieutenant H.vland! j
This is a nice surprise," she said in
one of those near-cordial voices that 1
sound like a smothered yawn.
Still Xeal stared at her, far too j
much the boy to make this out, and >
far too honest to pretend that he j
understood w hat was Greek to him. j
Phoebe flung up her arms with an ;
accompanying shrug of the shoul- ;
ders that a motion picture director i
might ljave worked long to secure
from his star "vamp."
"How embarrassing! The man
has forgotten me," she cried. "Anne,
do tell Lieutenant Hyland that he's
mot 1110 before."
1 wanted to take her by the shoul- i
ders and shake her. I wanted to !
cry out:
"Fine amateur theatricals! Tf
you've been rehearsing them for the
last month, consider that you've
made a triumphant hit in this new
role and spare us more."
But of course 1 coukl'nt do that. 1
However much Phoebe humiliated '
-!S THERE NO
RELIEF FROM
SKIN TORTURE?
Must I Continue to Suffer the
Unbearable Itching?
Your hopeless discouragement
doubtless comes from the fact
that you have tried so many lo
cal remedies that gave only tem
porary relief. After the effect
wore off, you found the disease
more aggravated than ever.
But there is no reason to de
spair. There is real rational re
lief from terrifying, burning
skin diseases, a treatment that
does give results by going down
deep to the very source of the
trouble and attacking the dis
ease where it originates.
Xo matter how many differ
ent kinds of salves, lotions, oint
ments, washes or other local
remedies you have tried, you
find that such treatment has
made no progress whatever to
ward curing the trouble, and
you must realize that it never
will.
You must realize that the
fiery, burning irritations on the
surface of the skin are only
symptoms of the disease. Local
treatment applied to these irri
tations can only alleviate the
itching—but cannot possibly
stop what causes the itching, and
the disease will remain with you
in all of its severity and with
all of it fiery, flaming torture
until its cause is located and re
moved.

j rank of a naughty little girl play

It was fairly wrung from him.
and the honest longing of it seemed
certain to break down the barriers

Ito get out of the room and leave

i "Excuse me," 1 said; "I must go,"
and mumbled something about air-

I fairly ran across the room and.
j brushing past Phoebe, I noticed that
jshe was swaying a little on her feet.
In another second 1 would have been
gone: but the phone chose that par
ticular moment to shrill out—and
never more harshly.
"I'll answer," 1 stammered, and
rushed to the telephone.
"Hello, that you, .Mrs. Jinintie?"
j came Dick West's voice over the
telephone. "We just had a long

"Bring him along. Show him the

"I'd rather—be with thg family,

LITTLE TALKS BY

[ Not very long ago New York wasi
treated to an amazing domestic com-I
! plication. The story included one man I
i end three women, all of whom, by j
every law of femininity, ought to
| have hated him and each other eor- j
! diully.
The ladies consisted of his former i
! wife, his present wife, and another j
j lady who hoped to be his third wife)
j—and all of them loved him. In,
I fact, the trio doted on him with such'
■ fervor, that they actually sank all |
! differences, met on a sisterly plane!
and discussed ways and means of
keeping hint out of jail. For there i
were some pretty ugly charges, on the '
side, and the law grinned a welcome [
at the popular husband. ,
| But the chorus of wives—past, pros
|f nt and future—rescued him front
1 the law with great dexterity, the
j Present getting a divorce in favor of
j the future, and tlte past remaining as
she had always been—the guide, phil-I
osopher r.nd friend of the gentleman!
nnd hip successive families,
i New York grasped and held its j
breath for a couple of days over this '
I triumph of amity—then continued on j
it way. Xow the gentleman was un-!

and they were ail women of import-!

that lie was always kind, always con- ,

, There are thousands of men'
j known as model husbands and fath- j

I It is this sort of thing, the little

lof the jury with her eyes, that ul
[ways strikes terror to the heart of
the prosecuting attorney. The man
is guilty, there is no question about
it, but a jury is only human, after
all, and will fail to convict in the
face- of such a picture of domestic
trust and happiness.
It's just one more case of the had
man being a good husband. The re
verse of the medal is when the wife
of the model man of the community
goes to Reno for a divorce, or elopes
without one, with some shady ad
venturer. The public, who censures
and speculates as to her sanity, does
not realize that the wife of the
model citizen has been starved
emotionally ever since she married
the good man.
All her little coquetries, bubbling
enthusiasms, desire of admiration
and affections have heen crushed be
neath that wall of domestic granite.
And do you wonder at the poor
thing taking chances with the world,
the flesh and the Devil—yes, you
may wonder and you may not Under
stand, but if you are human you
will pity.
The fact remains that no matter
how intrinsically good a man is, he
is a poor husband unless he has dis
covered the way of making his wife
happy. And the cook's comment,
about her scoundrelly master, that
"he had perfect manners, even at
home," may furnish the key to a
great deal of happiness.
MORE RED BLOOD AND STEADIER
NERVES FOR RUN DOWN PEOPLE
The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous,
Keen-Minded, Men and Women
It has been said of Americans that they work their habits over
time.
Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork.
By Worry, despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and bodv
fof needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alco
holic drink—excesses of every kind that burn up the vital powers
so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women
lit to be of help to themselves and others.
ft is time to be temperate in all things. The man or woman
with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vieor
the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid
excesses*
despondency, fear, trembling bands, want of confidence and
even cowardliness, arc due in a large measure to abused nerves.
People with plenty of red blood eorpaeelea and strong, healthy nerve* have
no detire to ahirk work and lean on others for guidance and support.
There is hardly a nerve-shnllered man or woman (unless of an organic
disease) in America today who cannot become alert and clear in mind; vigorous
and cncrgeUc in body In a very few weeks and at trifling cost.
To become stronr and ambitions, to feel that work ia not drndrery: to
hare steady nerve*, abundance of red blood end power of endurance; to ho not
only a man but as men now eo , a superman, you must take seven tablets of
Ilio-feren erery day for seyen daya—and take them faithfully.
Take two after each meal and one at bedtime and after seven days take
one only after meal until the supply is exhausted.
Then if you feel that any claim made In this special notice Is untrue—if
your nerves are not twice as steady as before; if you do not feel ambitious,
more vigorous and keen-minded, the pharmacist who dispensed the tablets to
