"Oh, Neal, please don't call Evvy: j Please don't!" I cried. "Why not?" asked Neal, curtly, j and then, anticipating my reply, he j went on hastily: "Now don't begin I that anti-Evvy stuff again. Youj were always down on her, though 1 never had a better friend. Now I'm going to see if she, too, has for gotten me." "Just a minute, dear," I insisted. "Phoebe wouldn't act so if she weren't terribly hurt. She thinks you gave her up without making one effort to hold her. Are you sure she never wrote you a letter — j and then waited for the answer that 1 didn't come?" "Sure? How can Ibe any surer? i I neTer got it —so I guess she didn't write." "But so much camp mail went astray." I protested. "That's right—blame it on the A. P. O.—that's easy. But 1 guess if Phoebe had written, and if the letter . had come back to her like they j do when they aren't addressed right, | she'd know I never got it, and try j again—or something. No, she never wrote. And now. llabbs, give a fel- ! low that number." "Neal, won't you wait a minute? j Let me ask Phoebe." "AH right—go ask your fool ques- ! tion," grumbled Neal, sinking down j astride the Florentine chair and i thumping a eigaret on the chair- | back. So I hurried to the bedroom; At j tlic inner door, I paused and knock- j ed. 1 wish now that I hadn't. . After a minute of silence, I knocked ! again. Then a voice called: "Come!"

"Suppose I had caught vou on the I bed—sobbing?" 1 thought to my. I self. "You couldn't have been so j self possessed and stand-oflish then!" "Phoebe dear—will you do me a great favor?" 1 asked sidling up to | my question. "I'm lunching with Mr. West —and I can't change my plans." replied Phoebe, looking like Jim at his very stubbornest. "I don't feel that—l have the right to 'ask that," I replied with calculated fact. "I only want to have you put me right on something —where my memory's at fault. Will you?" I "Well?" asked Phoebe, curtly. "You wrote to Neal explaining i about the ring, didn't you?" 1 asked | with elaborate curlessness. "Did I ever say I wrote?" eoun | tered Phoebe. "No—but of course I knew you'd not fail to write and explain." "Did your brother ever get—such a letter?" j "No. but " I "Did your brother ever write to me making one protest against the way our engagement was broken," j asked Phoebe. "No dear. But " "Then, since neither of lis heard ! from the other, it looks as if neither jof us wrote. And of course, if any one didn't write to any one under I those circumstances, that'd mean j that he was glad not to be held to j any rash, youthful promises. So j now, Anne, if you and I are to re | main friends, will you please drop i the matter? It's annoying and j humiliating to have it brought up all I the time." Phoebe made the whole of that | long speech with the utmost self- I possession and calmness like a j young Virginia. And I had to turn i and leave her victorious at the end. ; I knew that I couldn't bridge the gap ; between her and Neal. "Well, she didn't write, did she?"

Five minutes later Xeal turned j from the phone into which he had j been speaking in a low voice, and said: "She was glad anyway! "We're going to a Show to-night. So you can keep whatever date that was to go to theatre. Evvy's all right" Again I was conscious of Phoebe In the doorway. This time it was a cool, self-contained little Phoebe who ordered a taxi, and assured Lieutenant Hylatld that she knew how glad he and his sister would be when she got out of the way and left them to their visit. But the edge of my "visit" with Neat was off. This was a sad homecoming for my soldier —his little sweetheart was indifferent, his job was gone. I wondered how Xeal would find again his place in the scheme of things. (To Be Continued.)

She glanced at her watch and saw that it was exactly four-thirty. Tom snoulu have been here waiting lor her, she reflected. But one eouid 1101 jmrgc Tom by other men. lie was a taw unto himself. She strolled along the path for an eigiitn of a mile. vVtien she reached a curve that hid the gate, from nor tight she reversed her steps. She was glad there were few pe destrians uoroad to witness tier waiting. Oniy a few passed her and they were men out for a gonstitu lional alter a hearty aunuay dinner One or two lookeu at her cunousiy as they stiooe by. The girl glunced down at her dainty boots, she had not worn storm run ners, fearing they would make her feel appear large, so over her gray suede boots she had slipped a pair of rubber sandals. Thebe protected the ties of her shoes, but did hot keep the light tops from becoming spatter eci by the fast-lalling drops. As the wind was now rising,' her umbrella did not protect the lower part of her body. "1 declare It's a shame!" she mut tered. "If this keeps up the bottom of my dress will get draggled in spite of my raincoat." A hall' hour passed and daylight began to wane. The clouds were lower and heavier with each passing minute. "J won't wait any longer!" she ex claimed fretfully, turning once more toward the gate In Iter sentry-like beat. A Tall Flsrnre The sight of a tall figure In khaki approaching checked her indigna tion. Tom Chandler wore a huge poncho from which the water ran in rivu lets. "l'e gods, what a rain!" he exclaim ed. "Well, you are some sport, Mil dred; or"—with a meaning laugh "you must have wanted to see me very much —almost as much as 1 wanted to see you." She flushed and smiled. "Then why didn't you come sooner?" she demand ed in playful chiding. "I had just given you up." "Oh. I was detained," he explained. "Come, give me that umbrella and take my arm. We fighting men are not allowed to carry umbrellas, you know, unless there is a woman under one with us." lie pressed her hand close to his side as he led her from the path and toward a heavily-shaded part of the park. A Queer Seat Where are you going?" she asked. "Over to Maple Walk where the DAILY HINT OH FASHIONS A POPULAR STYLE.

"Yea," sue admitted, "it is." Sue was shivering anu hoped that lie would not detect, it. She had bo come thoroughly chilled waiting lor him. The autumn ruin was a corn one. After chatting lor a lew minutes, he glunceu down at her with a com pasbioiu.le smile. "Eiiuo girl, you are cold. I know it. i onie nearer to hie." Hipping ms uiscnguged arm about her, he utew her close to him. •"There—that better.: ' he said. "But." she demurred, without an elToil to tree herself, "it is a bit tie intimate, isn't it?" Aou mean lor an engaged girl?" he asked, watching her Keenly. "1 don't believe t want to be an en gaged girl any longer," she said reck lessly. "And if not, is there a chance for me?" he whispered, his face against tiers. "Perhaps." she whispered back as he kissed her. It was dusk when the pair started from the park. At the gate they paused to allow an automobile to cross the road just ahead of them. As they came into the glare of the headlights, the driver uttered an ex clamation and threw on his brakes. "Chandler!" ho exclaimed. "What art you and Kitty doing away off here when we are expecting you at 6:30?" A Warning / Then, as Mildred looked out from the shadow of the umbrella, tne man uttered an ejaculation of surprise and contusion. 'I bog your pardon, madam!" he said. "And yours, too, Chandler." lie sturted his machine, but not bo fore a woman sitting beside liim leaned out and addressed Chandler: "Be sure to be there at 6:30, Tom!" she called shrilly. "Kitty said you promised her yesterday afternoon to be on time. And we've ordered some supper, believe me!" Then the antomobile rolled away, leaving the pedestrians again in the semi -darkness. "There comes the trolley! We'll have to run to catch it!" Chandler said. "Hurry!" Without a word Mildred obeyed him. The car was crowded, and she and her companion had no chance of a word together on the trip into town. And all the way Mildred was remem bering that lionora had said mean ingly that she had met Tom driving yesterday afternoon. Had it been with this mysterious "Kitty?" And who was she. anyway? Torn pretended to give a partial answer to Mildred's unspoke questim as he parted from her at her gate, after giving her a swift farewell kiss. "1 hate to hurry so," he said, "but my first cousin, Kitty Chandler, my Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair Soap should be used vers' carefully, if you want to keep your hair look ing its best.

(To lie Con tinned I Advice to the Lovelorn Failed to Keep Kngngciuent Dear Miss Fairfax: j I had two tickets, given to me for a dance, so I asked a young man I know very well to go with me. As he works all day, his mother called up my brother and told him that her • son would call at my house that evening to'go to the dance. I waited for him, but us he did not come I went with rny father and mother, and when I got there I found him with another young man and two girls. After the danee he apologized to my brother by saying ho understood he was to take another girl whom I know he does not like. Then ho said he thought I had only asked If he would like to use one of the tick ets. I am sure he got the original message all right, and that he was making up his apologies without any foundation to them. I Do you think it was right for me to ask him to go, as I have known him for a long time, and have always found him polito and gentlemanly? Also, do you think I should speak to him or notice him when we meet at dances and parties, which is quite or ten?
