CHAPTER CXC. 1
The chagrin I felt at seeing Tom i
Mason disappear in the wake of
Valerie Cosby was bad enough, but
naving Jim see it happen was al
most unendurable.
The completely unendurable would
be for Lane Cosby to leave me alone
in the middlle of the floor, partner- J
less. Now my lumbering, heavy hostj
became vital to me. If I couldnti
-old him, I'd have to endure double j
Humiliation —in Jim's eyes and inj
my own.
What I did may have been path- j
etic or shameless or funny. I didn't i

any one who was interested in ob-j
serving.
All during the one-step I waited!
for Tom to reappear through the]
outer entrance of the grotto—and j
find me dancing, not seeming to no
tice his defection. He didn't come.
The fox trot sounded and Sheldon
pranced away with me. It would
be just my luck for Tom to come
out and find me partnerless. One
encore—two. I noticed Jim prowl
ing around the room as if in search
of some one. The music stopped.
Jim came up and took possession
of me.
"Attentive husband," smiled Shel
don. |
"I've this one with Valerie, the
little imp," said Jim as soon as we I
were alone. "Come with me while >

Cleopatra herself—l almost laughed
I aloud when Jim calmly described
her as "one nifty little kid." Perhaps
the men ot" her day called Helen of
Troy a pippin, who knows?
By now we had made the rounds
of the ballroom, and the conser
vatory, but there were no signs of
our hostess.
"Want to try this waltz?" asked
Jim indifferently—so indifterently
that he chilled the joy it always is
for nte to dance with him.
"If you like." I murmured.
Just as we swung into position,
a hand was laid on Jim's arm. And
Tom Mason stepped between us.
"No dancing with your own wife,
boy!" he said. "Another man's wife
is waiting tor you. See our pretty
hostess beckoning from yon crystal
balcony? Avaunt James and have
at you."
Jim made off at once. He didn't
even stop to say: "Take care of
Anne."
"Sliarfl we dance?" asked Tom in a
tone so different from the one in
v nich Jim had invited me to swing"
along to the strains of the music,
that I felt at once soothed and
calmed.
"Please," I replied.
Not a word was said until this
music stopped. Then Tom caught
my arm through his and led me off
to one of the tiny green crystal
hung boxes that made the balcony
of the ballroom seem like the In-'
side of a breaking wave. I found |
a bench of drift-wood and moss, and i
Tom stood before me looking down
reproachfully:
"How could you, Anne? How
could you?" he asked.
"I sounds like the chorus of a
song." I replied flippantly, to hide
my own amazing and unwelcome!

"Why did you give away the blue i
robe?" Before I could find some j
answer that I dared venture to!
make, he went on. "When I came
in and saw it, I thought you were \
wearing it. That you had relented,
had accepted at last the feeling j
you always seem determined to j
avoid. So I followed the robe—and !
found another woman wearing it." I
"And continued to follow her." j
It slipped out before I could call j
on sober, second thoughts to save
me. Tom's face changed— I knew]
he had not missed the intimation of•
jealousy but he. went onwithout 1
paying any attention to it.
"I had called out 'Donna Anna' to
her. She seemed to guess whom I
meant and taunted me about the
woman whose gown I knew, though
she'd never worn it. I had to set
her right—to save you from her in
uendos. That is why I remained so
long with her. Who'd want a sun
flower when there are fragran,t
lilacs in the garden? But why did
you treat my gift so lightly, little
Liliac Lady?"
I got to my feet and held out my
hands.
"You mustn't! You mustn't!" I
cried. "Pou tried to be a friend to

Chicago, May B.—Chicago society
women are delving into attics and
storerooms, unpacking ancient

glories of past decades in the form

For jet is coming hack into its

They are used much with the

THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER I
David Delaine, erstwhile ambulance
driver in France, now invalided out
Jof the service, was thinking very
hard.
He was back in "the good old U. S.
A." Y'et just now it did not seem
very "good" to him.
For he was depressed. He had
longed to return to his own country
—longed for It unspeakably ever
since he had learned that he was no
more fit for work "Over There." The
| bullet that had penetrated his ' ung
I had left him too weak far active ser
| vice. He had been told to "go home
and get some outdoor job that would
not be too strenuous."
The advice had sounded simple.
To follow it was quite another mat
ter.
When he enlisted he had given up
a job in Baltimore. It had been desk
work, the kind of thing he must avoid
until he was strong again.
In the bottom of his heart he had
counted on some financial help from
his nearest relative an eccentrc
aunt—his dead father's sister. She
was proud of the DeLaine name, and
David was the only one to perpetu
ate that name.
Aunt Jeanne was queer and very
exacting. Her nephew paid ft duty
j call to her only as often us lie felt
was necessary. At such times she
would urge him to look for a wife.
"If you marry the kind of a girl
I wish you to, I will promise you that
you shall be well provided for," was
her frequent remark.
These words Irritated ber nephew.
Not only did he object to having his
future planned for him. but he re
sented the suggestion that he was
was the kind of a man who would
make a marriage of convenience.
"I do not intend ever to marry at
all," he would say, laughing to hide
his annoyance.
Miss DeLaine would shake her
head reprovingly. "You will be sorry
if you do not," she warned.
The Right Kind of n <• Irl
So annoyed had David been fiy these
speeches that he had refused to call
upon the daughter of an old friend
of his aunt's when the girl had to
come to Baltimore in response to an
invitation from Miss DeLaine.
"Desiree Leighton is going to spend
a few days with me," Aunt Jeanne
had told David. "I am very .anxious
to have you know her. She is pretty
—the only child of a Wealthy New
York man—and he is a widower. Her
mother was a friend of mine. Desiree
is the kind of a girl I nope you will
marry."
But the young man was obdurate.
While Desiree was in Baltimore he
never went near Ills aunt's house
a fact that the elderly woman noted
with dignified disfavor.
Y'et at Christmas and on birthdays
she always sent her nephew a moder
ate check with which to buy himself
a gift from her. It was this custom
that had given him ground for the
hope that when he returned home, in
valided, she would let him have a lit
tle money until he had secured a po-

sition—after which he would refund
the amount lent him plus the 'nterest
on it.
The plan had seemed easy as David
DeLaine thought it out while recup
erating in France after his discharge
from the hospital. He had ci\putfh
money to pay for his board and
lodgings for a few weeks in a tiny
French village. He wanted to be
quite well and ready for work be
fore starting for his native land.
He had written his aunt as soon
as he was able to hold a pen. He
had told her of his wound ui.d of
his wishes. He was glad that he had
done this when he reflected that as
soon as he got back home he must
ask her. to lend him money.
He hoped to get a job in New York.
Surely the prospects of advancement
there would be better than In Balti
more.
The Terms of the Mill
And then, just before leaving
France, he had received a letter from
his aunt's lawyer telling him that
Miss Jeanne DeLaine had died sud
denly of heart disease.
"She left full directions regarding:
her funeral and the disposition of
her personal and household effects,"
the lawyer wrote. "All has been
done as she would wish. Her many
I friends were generally remembered.
She arranged with a meticulous care
that everyone should have some sou
venir.
"As to the other terms of her will.
I will tell you of them when you re
turn, which, I understand, will be
very soon. It is easier to explain a
matter face to face than to write
about it."
As soon as DeLaine landed in ihe
United States, he went to Baltimore.
He had a brief but honest talk with
his aunt's lawyer, who explained
the situation as tactfully as possi
ble.
The bulk of Miss DeLaine'.-, fortune
was to her nephew if he married the
girl of her choice. t
"And that young lady is Miss De
siree Leighton, of New York," the
lawyer informed David.
He made no comments on his late
client's eccentricities, althougn he
probably had decided views with re
gard to them.
"And if they marry?" The question
was so blunt as to be almost rude.
"Everything will go to certain
charities designated by Miss De-
Laine."
David rose to his feet. "It is a
forgone conclusion that the money
will go to those charities," he said.
"I have no intention of marrying—
even if any woman would have me—
which is most unlikely."
I "But," the lawyer reminded him.
"the testator named two years after
your return to this country as the
time allowed you in which to carry
out her wishes with regard to Miss
Leighton."
"Thanks!" was the dry rejoinder.
"Twenty-two years would find my
decision unchanged."
That night David DeLaine went to
New York to look for a "job."

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This des 1 -
troys it entirely. To do this, Just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to mois
ten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely
destroy every single sign and trace
of It, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.

I was discharged from the Navy, but
upon my return from Siberia, I called
upon my sweetheart, and she told me
she no longer loved me.
I have called repeatedly, but each
time I was informed that she was
not at home; until last week I met!
her, and asked her to explain the j
■ sudden coldness, to which she replied
that she was tired of me.
Now, Miss Fairfax, when I am earn
ing S3OO a month and in a position j
to marry, do you think it advisable
for me to try and win her back; as I

My dear Sailor Boy, while it may i

you are really to be congratulated on
having escaped a girl of this type for
your wife.
Young women given to these unac
countable vagaries seldom make de
sirable life partners. I should lose
no time in forgetting her as speedily
as possible.
SHE IS VIOLENTLY JEALOUS
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 was and still am desperately in I
love with a girl whom I had courted !
for some time. I knew she loved me. !
too. However, one quiet evening, up
on learning that I had visited a friend
of hers, with whom she presently is
not on good terms, she boldly de- ]
clared that she loves me no more. |
As time went along, I had sue- !
ceeded in convincing her parents and I
herself of my sincerity, and the fact
that I visited her one-time friend was
due to a promise I had made which I
felt I ought to carry out. Well, she
confessed that she wrongly accused
me of being deceitful; nevertheless,
she clung to her decision and per
sistently repeated that she loves me
no more. G. S. K. '
