" When a Girl " By ANN LISLB i A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing I| Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CXCVI Copyright, 1919, King Features Syn dicate, Inc. Betty's besetting sin, as I knew per fectly well, was vanity, and her vanity at least would be spared. For however uncomfortable, however humiliating even it might be to have her hand use less, that tragedy couldn't compare with the cruelly common after-the-war one of having no hand at all—Tony's trag edy. So in a flash I worked it out. The person to help Betty, to comfort and understand her as Terry and I for all Our love couldn't do, was Anthony Nor reys. He knew. He knew cruelly more than our Betty would ever be called bn to know. Seeing Tony, seeing how bravely, how casually even he treated that wooden hand of his in its concealing glove, couldn't but help inspire Betty to meet her own trouble with some of the big ness and fineness that was part of her. Anthony Norreys would come to her. Of that I was sure. No matter what he was doing, no matter what he had to do, he would drop it and come to the aid of a comrade in distress. "When are they taking the cast oft?" I asked, turning to Terry, who was staring out at the Spring-clad country side as if he'd like to blight every leaf and bud. "At three. It's twelve now. What are you planning to do, sister Anne? The time for homemade miracles is short," he replied, turning a set, white face to me. "I'm planning to send for Tony. He'll motor down here in record time. But I.ucas mustn't take the cast oft Until four," I said. "Tony—Tony!" repeated Terry, ft flicker of smile coming out on his face as he said it. "By jove 1 That's by way of being an inspiration, Anne. The way old Tony carries on can't help reg istering on her mind. You're jolly well right. We'll turn about and get him on the wire at once." So we did a right about face, and in mercifully short order Terry was talking with Anthony Norreys. He turned from the telephone, with a look of great hope and relief on his face. "Good old Tony—he's starting direct ly. That was jolly clever of you, Anne. I think he'll help Betty find all the courage she needs."

STEELTON, Pa. mURSDAY YVENTNG, Readiiv While Terry was phoning I had been doing some rapid thinking. After all, I could never forget that the original cause of the ever-widening gap between Jim and me was his forbidding—forbid ding, no less—me to see Anthony Nor reys. Now, while I had no thought of yielding to what seemed little short of tyranny, and while I valued Anthony Norreys' friendship too much to cast it aside, there were things that I, as Jim's wife, couldn't bring myself to do; and one of them was to stay in Greyfriars Village for what Jim would interpret as a house party, with An thony Norreys as the fourth. So I looked Terry squarely In the eye and delivered my ultimatum. "I'll have to go back on the seven thirty, Terry. You know how Jim feels toward Tony ever since he found out about our manufacturing that position for him in Tony's ofllce. You know Jim. I'll have to go back." "All right," said Terry, understand ingly. "Only we'll leave your bag here at the station—and not let Betty or Tony see it." Then for the second time we started on our drive to Betty, first telephoning to Miss Moss that we had been delayed by calling on a friend in< the city, and Mrs. Winston wasn't to worry. Next we stopped oft at Greyfriars Hall and persuaded Dr. Lamas to delay removing the splints and bandages from Betty's arm until 4 o'clock. So at last we drove home to Betty. The bungalow Terry had taken was imbedded in pines and set on a knoll that overlooked the lake. Flowers and gay cretonnes made it cheery, and Betty's happy eyes told me that Terry hadn't failed in anything that could brim her days with joy. Miss Moss had propped her up in a great wicker chair filled with comfy cushions, out on the sunny southern balcony, overlooking the lake. First we sat there and chatted for a happy half-hour. Then lunch ap peared on a magic white-clad table, and Terry came to our party. Betty was so happy that it almost hurt. "Isn't Anne a little pill to insist on going back to her man to-night?" she asked Terry. "I want her to stay the weekend, and have Jim come to join her Saturday." "Ask us for next weekend," I vent ured doggedly, telling myself that Jim couldn't fail in this.

Betty's wide-eyed wonder drove me to go on with a word or two that I felt might help: "You know you wrote me a note, Betty, about that dinner you and Tony and I had just before you went to the hospital—a note saying that we three had a very wonderful friendship to which we might admit Terry and Jim rnie if they were very good. It is a wonderful frienship, dear; and it brings Tony to you to help you through the first ugly, awkward days after the cast comes off." Betty turned tear-wet eyes to us. "Good old Tony," she said. "With that right hand of his sacrificed I often wonder how he bears it—the disfigure ment, the humiliation of being helpless and different from other people." And with a tug at my heart I met Terry's eyes. How was Betty going to bear it? (To Be Continued.) Advice to the Lovelorn He Docs Not Call Dear Miss Fairfax: I am twenty-two, rather good looking, always jolly and happy. I am very fond of a young man of the same age, and he seemed to care for me. Seven months ago my mother died, and two months ago my lather. I am keeping house for two broth ers and two sisters, all younger than myself—we were left very com fortable. Both the young man and his mother were very good to me at the time of my father's death. He said he would call again, but he never did. Do you think it is on account of my being lame that he does not call? It was caused by an accident when I was a child. I am able to dance very well. I would appreci ate your advice on the subject very much, as I am fond of this youpg man. M. C. As the young man and his mother were both kind to you in your re cent bereavement, it would be quite proper for you to invite them to your home sometime. Badly Treated At Home Dear Miss Fairfax: What shall I do to get away from my home? I am eighteen and of Italian parentage, and I am afraid you will not quite believe me when j I tell you I am abused. I am not ; allowed out or to have good times, i like other girls, and no girl friend will call to see me, knowing the conditions at home. Please, Miss Fairfax, tell me where I can go to 1 find a little peace? BROKENHEARTED. Why not go to your parish priest and put the matter of your cruel treatment before him? I believe you are a little old to obtain protection from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, but I am sure you will find some one there who will give you good advice. There is also the Legal Aid Society, which has several branches in different parts of the city, and where the best of legal advice may be had without charge. HAIUUSBURG OSfiAS TEIJEGRAPH THE LOVE GAMBLER CHAPTER IV I Copyright, 1919, Star Company | That night at the dinner table in j Mr. Leighton's house, the talk turned | upon the late Miss Jeanne DeLaine and her peculiarities. It also touched upon , the new chauffeur. . There were three persons at the table —the master of the house, his daughter and his sister—Mrs. Duftield. The last named member of the group lived in a small apartment around the corner from her brother's home, and was a frequent guest here. The fact that she lived ,so near was a comfort fo the lonely widow as well as a pleasure to her niece, for Aunt Sylvia was always ready to come in at any time of day or night to act as chaperon or companion. Samuel Leighton smiled across the table at his daughter as she took her seat to-night. "It seems to me you look very fine," he remarked affectionately. "Not but what you always look nice—but yon have on something especially striking to-night, haven't you? I see— the new necklace!" "Yes," the girl affirmed, "the new chain and pendant, Dad. It is not really a necklace, you know. It is pretty, isn't it?" I "Very pretty," her father agreed, and Mrs. Duffleld added an admiring "love ly !" "I always feel just a bid uncomfort able about it," the girl went on. "It was very kind of Miss Delaine to leave it to me in her will—yet I' wonder ir she would have done it if I had not expressed to her my admiration of it. "My dear, of course she would Mrs. Duffleld declared. "I doubt if you cast envious eyes at it," the father teased. "No, I did not," the girl admitted. "I remember just what I did do. Miss DeLaine showed mo the pendant as it lay in her jewelry case and exclaimed at its beauty, and I said that the sap phire was one of the loveliest I had ever seen, and that the diamond hanging from the bottom of it gave it a wonderful effect. She looked pleased and asked me If I would like to wear the pendant. I said 'No, thank you'.' very promptly. But later she remarked, 'you may wear |it often in days to come." !| DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS euuse V \ £B3l Inj iTI If L I 1 r A SMART SUMMER COSTUME Blouse 2531, Skirt 2830.

Her Father 'Lauglis "Nothing. I thought it best to hold my tongue." Mr. Leighton laughed aloud. "You must know, my dear Sylvia," he ex plained to Mrs. Duftield, "that poor Miss DeLaine—while as good as gold and always most kind to our little girl—had her peculiarities. And one of these was her nephew." "Her nephew!" Mrs. Duffleld echoed. "What do you mean?" "Only that she had a nephew who, according to her, was a paragon of all the manly virtues, and she would have I been delighted, I really believe, if he j and Desiree had fallen in love with ' each other." j "You see." Desiree interpolated, "Miss DeLaine thought I looked like Mamma, I who, as you remember, was a friend ' of hers." I "Yes, I remember," Mrs. Duffleld said. "Well, Miss DeLaine seemed to think that it was her duty to arrange for my future by finding a husband for me. and she was all the time talking about I her dear nephew. Ugh ! I hated him !" * "Why? Wasn't he agreeable?" the aunt inquired. , "I never saw him—thank goodness !" ! Desiree said. "He was careful to stay away from his aunt's house on the occasion of my visit there." "Perhaps she has talked to him of you as much as she had talked to you of him." Mrs. Duflield ventured. "But it was not very gallant of him to stay away, was It?" The girl flushed. "I would hate to think I was flung at him," she said. "I would have despised him if, under the circumstances, he had called to me, and I despised him because he didn't. But, never mind. He went to France months ago." "He may not be alive now," Mrs. Duftield suggested, adding, softly, "per haps he and his aunt are together by now." "Perhaps." Desiree murmured, her face changing, "but I hope he is still alive. For, really, I never knew any thing against him. Poor Miss DeLaine! If she had not loved me she would not have been so anxious about my fate, I suppose. Nor would she have left me this lovely pendant. By the way. Dad, —I wondes "who got all her things, and her money?" "Her nephew and friends, I suppose," the father replied. "But of course I do not know. If the pephew was killed in France, there would be no heir left. By the way, wha: was her nephew's name?" The New Chauffeur "David DeLaine," the girl replied. He was Miss DeLaine's dead brother's son. 'Dear Davy,' she used to call him. I got so tired of hearing of the noble j David." "Which reminds me," Mr. Leighton j changed the subject suddenly, "I have engaged a chauffeur." "Oh, have you? I am glad. I hope he will be satisfactory." "I hope so myself. He looks like an able young chap." "Where is he from?" "North Carolina. I have sent South for his references." "Oh," the daughter's face fell, "then we cannot use either of the cars until you get the references, can we?" "Oh, yes," Samuel Leighton replied I easily. "I think s'mith's all right. He cannot go far wrong in the few days Corns, Callouses Quit Quick! Two Drops of "Gets-It" Will Do It. Ever hand-carve your toe with a knife trying to get rid of a corn?

"No," Leighton admitted, "not very. His name Is David Smith. I thought of him when you mentioned David De | Laine. But of course we will call him by his last name —Smith." "Yes, indeed, of course we will," De siree agreed. To Be Continued Ice Cream and Pie Y. A. Specials American ice-cream and pie are two things for which Y. W. C. A. Hostess Houses in France are famous. Anna S. Jenkins, who is responsible for the banking and marketing for the Toul Hostess House, described her difficulties in maintaining the custom of Sunday night ice-cream by saying that it frequently means a special trip to Nancy for ice when there is none to be had in Toul, and an argument with a Frenchman to persuade him to sell it for such a purpose. "Nancy has a large public market," Miss Jenkins continued, "and the women there know me now and display their best as I pass or remind me that last week's purchase must have been satis factory. "To buy legs of mutton enough to feed 125 while the French stand around to watch me choose the animals and the legs I wish, is rather comic." FINDS BROTHER'S GRAVE Horlon.
