1 " When a Girl Marries" B) AXX LISI.E A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife By Ann lisle. CHAPTER CXCI "Jim seems to like my robe. It might have been a good idea to try its charms yourself*" Tom llason j repeated. I had heard him. but even now 1 •didn't answer. I couldn't It was ■too brutal. 1 got up and started to make my way out ot" the box and down to the lloor, and Just as 1 got to the soit green taffeta portiers there stood Valerie Cosby, with my Jim lurking in the shadows behind her. "Don't hurry away—unless we in trude," she said in iter very cream- j jfest voice. "Though, of course, for "husband and wife to be found in the • same cozy corner at a ball will cause ,a terrible uproar in society." My voice felt so brittle 1 thought it would break when I spoke, but I managed: "This is the most gorgeous party I've ever seen, Mrs. Cosby." ■Ton dear country mouse." she replied. "This is only a little im promptu party, and the prettiest thing about it is this lovely robe you gave me. It must have come front some one who Is very, very fond of you—and 1 hope you will get a lovelier one to pay you—and make you quite gorgeous when I give a real party." Then my little lilac costume seemed shabbier than ever. And though Tom Mason's hand on my arm steadied me the hand was trembling "I'll have a gorgeous gown for your real party—but first the man who's going to give it to me must join me in giving you a party. Isn't that so. Jintmie?" I asked in my most proprietary tone as well as my most naive one. "Righto:" said Jim, his eyes on Valerie Cosby. "Thursday " I persisted. "Dinner, and theater'.'" That would give me time, to go to the smartest place in town and or der a gown at which no one could sneer. T was through being saving. It didn't pay. "How generous you are to me," replied Valerie Cosby—honey sweet —as she narrowed her eyes and fixed them en me with a half smile. "You seem hounl to give me the very things 1 want- first this won derful robr now my first theater party in the new home c ity. What next. I wonder? You mustn't dis appoint me —I'm counting on your generosity." "That's delightful! And Mr. Ma sort, plus a half a dozen or so to fill wo boxes," I said in a voire I tried to 3TA\Rb IDiOT!

She said that a friend had given her the little group of figurines called "The Monkeys of Nippon." tine monkey holds its paws over its eyes, the next is covering its ears, and the third its mouth, thus silent ly admonishing the beholder, "To see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil." The girl was immediately im pressed and made a good resolution on the spot. She fully intended to follow the unspoken mandate of wis dom. She put the little group on her dressing table, so that she might frequently be reminded of Iter new purpose. But as she went about with this new idea in her mind, she was shocked to discover that hardly anv one she knew ever spoke of the good and beautiful things of life. They did not seem to think that these deserved any particular mention. Instead, she heard on every side stories of tragedy, sick ness, sorrow and woe. The negative side of existence scented to be the only one that people in general saw, heard or talked about. If she greeted an acquaintance she was met with something like this: "Oh I am all right, hut we have had the most awful time at home. Father has been desperately ill, mother is all worn out. and every one we know has been having terrible things happen to them.' j Or, "Have you heard about the \ | aeeident? Isn't it too awful?" Even the hits of conversation she caught on the street were doleful: ■ ! "The doctor says she has only j forty-eight hours to live. She hasn't j a cent in the world, my dear, and | those three children on her hands!" j j The girl says, however, that she I I clung to her good resolution as j best she could; whenever she saw I an unpleasant thing she imtnedi- j ately looked about for some bit of | beauty; when she heard something I depressing she strained her ears to catch a laugh or a cheerful word | in order to counteract the impres- j sion. But the worst part of it for her was that she herself was con- I stantl.v saying sharp, critical, un- j kind things before, she thought. Still she is evidently a persever- | ing creature, for she kept on in I spite of all her discouragements and! disappointments and now, as she" tells me, results are beginning to show. She hears more pleasant things than unpleasant things. She meets and talks with more cheerful people, and she gets glimpses of i beauty everywhere. There is nothing strange in this. | I The moment any of us make up our : mind to follow a new course of ac j tion, no mutter what it may be, all 1 sorts of obstacles seem suddenly to crop us. If we pay any attention to them we are lost. The only thing j to do is to kick them out of the way j and go right on. There is a story in the "Arabian ; Nights" of the princess who set forth : to find her lost brothers and secure | | the Talking Bird, leaves from the j Singing Tree and a flash of the waters of the Golden Fountain. These three treasures were guaran teed to transform her life and he stow all sorts of good fortune on herself and 'ho.-' 1 she loved. Her brothers had already tried to gain them, hut had never re- | turned from the quest. N'everthe- j lot*, she determined to succeed j where they and so man;. - others j had failed. So she used her brains before she set out on her journey, j which fact showed her to be a very | wise young woman indeed.

You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wa- I ter and rub it in. about a teaspoon- 1 ful is all that is required. It makes ' an abundance of rich, creamy lather, ( ! cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out I easily.

Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. | THIN PEOPLE j SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE ■ Nothing I.lke Plain Hiiro-Phosphate to Put on I'Trm, Healthy Flesh .and to Increase .strength.
