"You thought I'd stand by—that
I'd make 'em see you meant to do the
right thing," repeated Jim, musingly.
"You thought I'd chase down there
with you and take your medicine
for you—if it proved a nasty dose?"
"No, not exactly that. Not that
at all, Jim." I began, but he cut in
■—intent on his own train of thought.
"I suppose now you'd like to see
me call off the dinner and theater
party and go down to stand between
your fool meddling and its results. Is
that it?"
"I never thought of your going,
but it would be wonderful. Jim."
•Well—l'm not going. That's flat.
And I think what you did was a
piece of blamed impertinence. Under
the circumstances, I guess the only
decent thing for you to do is send a
Becond message saving you 11 be

car for the day if you want to start
early.''
"Oh. that's kind of you. Jim. But
I want to stay—as long as Betty and
Terry need me. You see, the mes
sage doesn't say she knows —only
Terry. And the day after to-morrow
-—the day after the cast comes off
may be the worst. So I'd best go by
train.
"That's right," retorted Jim, irri
tably. "Throw a man's kindness in
his face. Refuse to let him do a
thing."
"If you really want to be kind.
Jim—why not come?" I asked coax
lngly. running over to lay my hand
on his sleeve.
He shook it off impatiently, and
I felt as if he had struck me. I made
a vow then that I wouldn't soon at
tempt what became a familiarity—
and one that was completely out of
place—under Jim's receptiqn of it.
Jim decided that Jeannie must
take my place as hostess at the din- ■
ner, and made me promise not to

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
. let her know just what was calling
!me out of town for fear she'd get a
1 touch of the "sickly sentimentals,"
'; too, and refuse to see the party
i through. It really made me quite
: • ill to see how mercenary and cold
. | blooded Jim's attitude was toward
j the whole matter.
j Once he adored Terry. Now he
' j seems to think only in terms of
• ; "star customers" and "big deals."
1 j Nothing counts much except the joy
!of making money. Nothing, unless,
j perhaps, it is the other excitement
I of flirting with a pretty woman.
I wonder if the nervous irritabil
j ity, the feverish desire to be doing
: something all the time that is
blotting out from me the Jim I mar
i ried. is just the blight of gambling
expressing itself in Jim's business in
; his whole course of life?
After we had settled it that I was
to go to Betty's next day Jim sug
gested dining in the Egyptian Cafe.
! That meant dressing, but I couldn't
; refuse.
"Me for bed," yawned Jim as soon
as dinner was over. I was sleepy,
too, but I had a long evening ahead
j of me—packing my bag and making
over all the arrangements for the
| party to Jeannie. In my tired, ner-.
1 vous condition I was almost glad
i that neither Pat nor Neal phoned.
! After all, Neal was a man and hale
i and hearty. Surely he could take
j care of himself. And. anyway, there
j wasn't a thing I could do about Neal
j for the present.
! So. in fear and trembling, I took
; the journey to Betty,
j Terry met me at the station.
When he caught my hands in his
and looked at me questioningly but
. kindly, I knew that no matter how
1 Jim might think that I had blun
i dered. Terry was going to under-
I stand.
j "Terry—when does her arm come
out of the cast?" I gasped as soon j
:as our formal greetings were over
'and I was stowed in his car.
"This afternoon, Anne. I thought l
1 you'd be willing to—help me tell
her."
"Do you want me to tell her?" j
I gulped when I asked it. and then'
T rushed on to offer the explanation
for which he was too chivalrous to
ask:
"Terry, I didn't keep it from you j
j —because I was afraid to tell you. j
I T did it so you'd be perfectly happy, j
| and able to give her a month of un- i
clouded happiness I didn't want'
you to have anything to hide." |
Terrv caught my hand in the grip!
of both of his. For all its pain. I
his face had a look of relief.
"Anne—you're splendid. Splendid!
When I think that you were brave !
enough to think of that—and man
age to carry it out. I get back by •
courage to tell her."
"You mean, you'll tell her your-j
self?" T asked.
"I think she'd rather have it that
way. You see when I thought you
hadn't the courage to tell me—were
too tender-headed to break it to me
—T didn't see how T could come out'
with it brutally to her. But now"— j
"There's one chance in a hun-1
drod." I ventured.
"Hardlv that—now."
"The doctor told you that?" Ij
asked.
"The shock. She's been so hanpv. j
D-. Lucas save when the cast comes
off and she finds she can't use her j
hand, her pride and her humiliation!
will give her the s ort of mental atti- !
tude that'll kill that one chance." j
"Couldn't he make her think she'll:
recover the use gradually—and pre- i
nare her that way—so she won't'
have the terrible shock of finding
her arm useless " I stammered.
"We can't lie to her." said Terry j
grimly.
He didn't mean to hurt me. but!
that was my punishment, and I j
gulped it down.
"There's got to be some way of j
softening the shock. She's got to
have her one chance in the hun
dred." I cried half to myself.
And then suddenly it came to me.'
I knew how we could save Betty's j
one chance for her.

LITTLE TALKS BY
BEA TRICE FAIRFAX
By Beatrice Fairfax.
Please do not regard the young
L ! soldier who is just hack front
.'France, with S6O in his pockets, as
1 an unworked gold mine in which
! you propose to sink a shaft and
, haul up all your pet caprices.
If you care anything about the
boy, you ought to help him against
his besetting aim of extravagance.
; j And if you don't care anything
(about him, it's a shame to exploit
I a lad who has been risking his life
j fighting for you.
i In any case, do not be a polite
, harpy who takes, takes, takes, like
! the daughter of the horse leech
mentioned in Holy Writ. Or if you
|do happen to have these acquisitive
; talents, try them out on your civilian
, friends who have not been away
from the glitter and glare and mu
j sic for such a long time as the
soldier, and who are on the whole
fairer game,
i To a soldier boy. just back from
' France, the lure of luxury is doubly
' strong, after the hardships of the
• trenches and the rough billeting to
j which he has been accustomed.
And he is apt to "blow in" the
.last cent he has to hear the music,
| see the lights and pal about with
! a pretty girl once more. Only if
' the pretty girl happens to be nice
j as' well, she won't let him spend
i too much.
| To fleece a returning soldier is
a good deal like taking the candy
: from a child, only worse, because
•the child is likely to be better off
(without his candy, and the "soldier
isn't at all likely to be better oft
without his money. And before the
young Doughboy gets back his old
job or gets shaken down into a new
; one. he is likely to require every
' nickel he can muster.
I So if you feel that his safe return
I demands a celebration, please don't
I let it take the form of squandering
'the pitiful sixty dollars. If much
i spending is to be done, contrive to
■ do a share of it, at least,
i A great many of the girls who
, tactlly encobrage extravagance on
the part of returning soldiers are
wage earners themselves, and they
know from the handling and manip
ulation of a pay envelope, the value
of money. But perhaps they have
i never unselfishly thought of the
! matter in the terms of cold cash be
fore. and that is why I am putting
it into words for them now.
But selfish and unselfish alike, i
they all seem to expect when they
go out with a returning soldier, to
Intake some sort of a Roman holiday
out of the expedition, with Sammy
.paving all the bills. And we know
how far "out" it is possible to go.
these days, without spending a
jingling succession of dimes, quarters
' and even dollars.
Share Expenses of Entertaining
Please do not understand me as
I suggesting for a moment the re
HARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH"
nouncing of nil social life, nothing
EJ is farther from my mint!. But don't
n you think it would be kinder, more
tactful, economical and many more
s things besides, if five or six of you
h girls who have soldier sweethearts
d' would get together "in a bunch"
| and, boys and girls alike, share the
e ; expense of the entertainment ?
11 What could be more delightful
j than a little outing, after business
g i hours, these early spring evenings?'
11 The boys might act as a finance j
e committee on transportation and'
pay the trolley, ferry, or railroad
e j fare, and the girls could be re-i
e sponsible for the supper.
I j There are more than fifty-seven]
a j varieties of sandwiches, not expen- !
e j sive, and also wholesome and appe- j
II tizing. And there are potato and
y various other combinations of veg-'
-1 etable salads—that may be securely :
e i packed in cartons that are good'
eland also filling. And there is thei
j humble baked bean, excellent either!
i i hot or cold; and there is coffee or.
•" lemonade, according to the titer-1
e mometer. that may be carried in I
5 thermos bottles.
And. lastly, there is also the I
5 springtime: the time of fruit blos
• sonts and*the lovely green of young
t grass and leaves; and there is youth
| and the glorious times that come
' only with youth. And next day, af
j ter an outing like this, there is the
J comfortable and honest feeling that
] | you have not made some nice sol
dier or sailor boy, who has got to
; take root again, spend his last cent
;.on you. And if it is still too cool for
| j spring picnics, there is the fudge
; j party, or Welsh rabbit party, or
: | some other kind of. a chafing dish
|. concoction to be made at home. And
'.there is always the humble "movie"
and the ice cream soda fountain.
The Cause of This Homily
|j Perhaps this homily on what Ij
.I am going to call "Doughboy Econ- I
•jomics" is inspired by a scene I hap-;
' | pened to witness in a fashionable]
'j restaurant the other evening. At a;
j table adjoining the one where I was,
' a youngster who could not have I
| been a day over twenty, and as he
] I crowded his trench cap into his]
pocket, I noticed that he had a red
]' chevron on his sleeve.
'j The girl with him looked older,;
was pretty, and a little heavy look-!
1 1 ing. She was the type that slouches!
, ] sullenly in her chair till the food!
' comes in.
! The boy's attempts at conversa-j
;]tion were a failure after the meal 1
i was ordered, and the girl did the
] ] ordering. The soldier didn't seem
Ito know much about selecting a
.'dinner, but his companion had una- j
j bridged talents in this direction, i

] As the feast progressed she
] roused herself sufficiently to com
ment on the band and food, of
' which she approved, but she seemed
j dull, heavy ami uninspiring, and
; | doubtless she had read in some
i | copybook of childhood that "silence
> is golden." I.ater they danced, and
• ] such intelligence as the girl boasted
appeared to be in her toes, for she
i danced very well indeed.
But as I looked at the heroic
: j "near-child" with his honorable
I chevron on his arm. and his porter- j
house consuming dancing partner, j
i■ T felt as if a society for the preven
] tion of cruelty to soldiers ought to]
! have been incorporated on the spot, :
'and some one should have taken I
i the necessary steps to keep that boy I

' I believe that a general revival;
|of the "Dutch treat" system would,
I result in better and more whole-.
isome times all around among young]
people.. And if a dozen girls would j
'take a stand on this subject and let]
it be understood that they do not
expect or desire young men—either!
soldiers or civilians—to drain the]
last penny in their pockets on them. '
I believe the result would be emi
nently satisfactory. And just think
what belles such girls would be-!

Advice to the Lovelorn
Woulil I.lke to Mnke Some Friends
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I would appreciate it greatly if j
you would give me a few sugges
. tions as to how I could meet some !
| nice young man. I am nineteen and i
] look twenty-two. but don't construe '
; this to mean I am a prude. I dress
j well, can dance, sing, and carry on a
: conversation. I am a stenograhper
: and am considered very pretty, and
j I would be only too glad to entertain
some nice young men in my own
j home.
In business I get a great many
j invitations to dinner, luncheon and
j theater parties, but they are all from
' men who I know are married and
; of course I cannot accept them.
I lived for about ten years in a
I little town in Vermont, but I re
! reived most of education here in j
I New York city, and it seems very
hard to get acquainted with any
real nice folks here in the city.
P. V. S.
I have had many letters from
girls similarly situated, and it
I is very difficult bo make helpful
I suggestions. Perhaps the best
, thing to be done is to quote the ex-
I periences of other girls who have
] come to New York and have made
, good friends and have successfully ]
I taken root. i
l The most desirable friends are |
( made in educational work, evening '
| classes at some center, such as the j
■ Cooper Unibn and the Y. W. C. A. ]
| The process may be slowor than ;
i those made at dancing clubs, but on !
j the whole the results seem more de- ]
j sirable.

You can keep your skin free from

j plain delatone and in using It you
need have no fear of marring or in
juring the skin. A thick paste is
made by mixing some of the pow
dered delatone with water. Then
spread on the hairs and after 2 or
3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and
all traces of hair have vanished. Ho
careful, however, to get real dela
