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
3<eep as unruffled as hers. '.'Now—l
must deprive you of something. Mv
own charming society—and my hus
band's. It's about morning and;
everyone is going. Come Jim."
"Stay Jim—and we'll all go home!
together." pouted Valerie, squinting'

| her eyes and giggling as she re-1
i peated, "Jim . .' . Come Jim . . . j
I Stay Jim."
"The 'stay Jims' have it," laughed j
i Jim, lounging down in a seat next I
'to Valeric. "I promised Cosby we'd j
| stick to the last. Anne. And then !
I'm giving a little party ahead of |
(your Thursday one .... Griddle 1
; calces and scrambled eggs and coffee 1
]—a breakfast at Wilds. Are you |
on, Tom'.'"
"You couldn't pry me loose," re-1
plied Tom, pulling my arm through !
! his. "Anne and I are booked for j
, this trot."
In the corridor, just at the top |
|of the stairs leading to the floor,
ho stopped:
"Steady, Anne—steady," ho said, j
I "Want a bite of salad or a bird?"
"I couldn't eat," 1 replied with I
my best approximation of his
! "steady."
He laughed shortly.
"You ought to know Jim by this
time —a new face, a new fancy." j
"I know Jim, and I know you," I j
said coldly. "You're not coming to j
that Thursday night box party —j
except for business, you're never go
ing to speak to me again."
"Oh, yes I'm coming. You asked
me in the presence of Mrs. Cosby
and Jim. Kittle l.ilao don't
let jealousy drive you into a tan
it tun. You know you were jealous
of me earlier in t'ne evening. And
I'm coming in rather handy now at
that. What would you have done
without me hack there in the box?"
"You're—insufferable," I gasped.
"And you're adorable."
Tom Mason breathed it thickly,
and before the words were more!
than half said, ho caught me in
arms like steel and drew me to him.
"Let me go. let me go," 1 cried,!
heating at his chest with my
! clenched fists.
I felt his lips close to my cheeks,
and then, somehow, I tore myself!
from his arms, scudded down the'
steps across the lower liall and into;
the dressing room.
Panting, I sank down on a couch.
A second later Valerio Cosby glided
. into the room.
"Why did you run away so sud
denly?" she asked, looking at me in
the greatest amusement.
I stared hack tit her with cheeks
i that I fedt crimsoning in spite of
niv determination not to blush. Did
she mean to ask why I had run
away front her or Jim—or why I
had fled from Tom Mason? What!
had site seen? How did she inter-!
pret it ?
"Come on. Donna Anna, to the 1
I breakfast at Wild's." she said, us-!
ing Tom Mason's name for me with j
the utmost suavity. "You and T are!
going to he great friends as soon as i
you limber up a hit. We have such j
a lot in common."
Again the slow, narrow-lidded |
i rmile. I thought of a kitten lapping)
! up cream.

LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
A girl wrote me a letter tel.ling
me of a queer little experience she
had.
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. She
list endeavored to learn all she |
could about the hindrances in her |
path. These, she learned, were j

! goblins that would try to frighten
j i;er until she ran to safety, and '
voices that would seek to allure
| her and cause her to linger too
long upon the road. But being a
young person of resource as well'
|as courage, she stuffed her ears '
I with cotton to shut out the bc
j gulling voices, and refused even to | •
| look at the menacing shapes that j
j barred her way.
The result was that she found j
j the Talking Bird, and he told her
j how to secure the Singing Leaves
! and the flask of Golden Water, and
'by the aid of those she lifted the I
■ enchantment from her brothers
| and from the other travellers who I
had adventured in quest of the {
treasures without taking her fore-1
thought.
There is a deep truth in all these
I old fables. The negative elements j
!of hesitation and fear which keep i
lus loitering on the way to aecorn- j
l plishment are the little foxes which !
I spoil the vines of endeavor.
One has only to look into the |
faces of the "wasters" to realize j
' that somewhere along the road- j
| way these men and women have
I vicidod to an inclination to drift J
j with the tide, to postpone a deoi- ]
i sion, to sit down and rest until
resting became a habit and lie-1
cause the going was hard.
The negatives of life are the
things not to see, not to hear and [
1 never, never to speak.

Dear Sir—While watching the j
flames destroy the school building in

side of their gray-haired sweet- !
hearts were thinking of their school j
days in the building, and John ;
Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With
Most soaps and prepared sham- !
poos contain too much alkali, which
I is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
' and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsifled
■ coeoanut oil shampoo, for this is >
| pure and entirely grcaselcss. It's
I very cheap and heats anything else
all 1o pieces. 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. The hair dries quickly and
1 evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and eusy to han
dle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff. |

GEORGIA HAMILTON is contained
in modern |
foods, rhysicians claim there is ,
nothing that will supply this deflc- !
iency so well as the organic phos- I
phate known among druggists as i
bitro-phosphate, which is inexpensive
and is sold by most all druggists un- j
dcr a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. By feeding the nerves |
directly and by supplying t.ho body I
cells with the necessary phosphoric
food elements, bitro-phosphate should
produce a welcome transformation
in the appearance; the Increase In
weight frequently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness. sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
should soon disappear. dull eyes
ought to brighten, and pale cheeks j
glow with the bloom of perfect j
health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who
was once thin and frail, reporting
her own experience, writes: "Bitro-
Phosphate has brought about a magic
transformation with me. I gained 15
pounds and never before felt, so
well."
CAUTION: Although bitro-phos-!
phatg is unsurpassed for relieving :
nervousness, sleeplessness and gen
eral weakness, it should not. owing
to Its tendency to increase weight.,
be used hy anyone who does not de
sire to put on flesh.
Greenleaf Whlttier's poem, "In
School Days," came to my mind.
You all remember:
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing.
And heard the tremble of her voice,
A3 is a fault confessing.
"I'm sorry that I spelt the word;
I hate to go above you
Because," the brown eyes lower fell,
"Because, you see, I love you!"
