"When a Girl "
By ANN LISLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCI.
It wasn't until Saturday morning
that I had any way of guessing
whether or no a week-end spent
with the Cosbys would be pleasant.
Friday evening was taken up in
motoring to the Inlet House, dining
there and getting settled. That
evening was too busy and rushed to
have any particular flavor of its
own—pleasant or otherwise.
I woke Saturday morning with
that queer feeling of uncertainty
that generally greets one in a
strange bed. The room was steeped
in gray, yet the hush of early morn
ing wasn't over the world. Lifting
myself on one elbow I peered at
Jim's watch dangling from its chain
looped over the liead-board of his
bed. Nine. Not early a bit.
I got up and tip-toed into the
bathroom. Then I found out that in
stead of our room being the dark
and dreary inside room I had
thought, this was a gray and deso
late day. Cold rain slanted down.
Little gusts of wind rustled the
green-tipped branches of bushes
and trees. The window-shade, fly
ing out in the wide space where the
top sash had been drawn down,
flapped back and forth just out of
reach.
Everything seemed horribly de- j
pressing. Yet I had known gray |
days in the country before. Hays i
of sewing and going bustling about
the household tasks. Days spread
out happily toward an evening of |
apples and nuts and cider, with a
little tocking-darning and patch
ing and reading of news aloud to
make everyone cozy and cheery.
But I didn't fool myself about
this day. It would he nothing like
those I remembered so longingly.
It wasn't.
Before I was dressed Valerie
Cosby telephoned that I must break
fast with her in her room, since !
Lane insisted that he and Jim would i
shoot a little pool after they'd had j
breakfast down in the grill and had i
read the papers. Now breakfast in j
any bedroqm is a pet aversion of
mine. But when its some one else's j
bedroom—words fail me, but ideas i
don't. I knew what Jim expected
of me, however, so I accepted with
my best imitation of alacrity.
I found Valerie propped up on
three or four pillows. She was
dressed in a shadowy affair of yel
low chiffon and swansdown. Wound
around her head was an oriential
turban of cerise and gold. She
looked ready for a fancy dress ball, i
But her room was strictly in neg
ligee. Neglected would be more like l
it. Bits of lingerie were flung over !
chair backs and across bureau tops, i
Hoxes of powder spilled amid brushes
ind mirrors and amber monogram- i
med in gold. Cigarette stubs and cold £
cream shared a w;ndow-sill. The t
covers on what was evidently Lane j
Cosby's bed were crumpled in a

mass with pajamas and two or three
, pairs of trousers flung across them.
' "I ordered for both of us. Choco-
late and rolls. Soft-boiled eggs and
griddle cakes," said Valerie Cosby
luxuriously. "I didn't know just
' how much of a breakfast you made.
> But if we had a good meal now we
won't want anything till tea. That's
' the way I keep my weight right
' without dieting."
"That will be plenty," I managed
i to say.
I knew I couldn't get much down
t in that untidy room, and my break
l fast is always coffee and rolls and
fruit. I don't have to worry about
my figure, and lunch is my best meal.
I wondered uneasily if Jim, too,
would forego the noon meal,
i I made a sorry enough breakfast.
Valerie's little dog, Rammi, had
come along and she put the tiny
little white rat of a toy Egyptian
on the edge of the tray to lap up
the vegetables and meat scraps. This
for me was the last straw.
Then I had to stay in the room
while Valerie went through a long
intricate toilette that kept us housed
in her unaircd room until 12 o'clock, j
By the time she was ready to go
downstairs I had a raging headache j
and it didn't improve a bit when'
X saw my own drab reflection in the
mirror elevator as we went down
jto the lobby. Nor did Jim's first
I words of greeting lift any of the
storm clouds from my day.
"Look who's here," he cried. "The
| gQOd fairy who'll chase the rain
away. Valerie Cosby, you're the first
woman I've ever seen who acctually
is more radiant jn the morning than
at night."
"It's this little green and gold
batik smock," explained Valerie,
with a manner two parts compla
cency and the other part intimacy.
"I knew you'd like it. Shall we kill
the day with a little session of pok
,er? Of course youv'e found a few
i men to play. Cosby?"
| I'd never heard a woman call her
i husband by his surname before, and
iValerie caught my surprise and drag
ged it into the limelight.
"Jim, your wife's shocked. Is it
i the poker—or my calling my big
brown bear 'Cosby?'" she ventured
in her creamy voice.
"Oh. Anne's a Puritan—but she'll
learn," said Jim, leaning across her
chair-back so that his lips came
close to the burnished waves of her
lacquer-black hair. "Will you chip
in on a little poker, Anne?"
"I don't play—and I'll spoil the
game," I said with what I meant to
be the manner of a good sport. I'll
be all right—l'll find a magazine.
Shall I meet you here for lunch in i
an hour or so?" >
• "Lunch? When we've just break- ,
fasted!" exclaimed Valerie in an '
amused voice that made me feel like 1
a terrible greedy. "Oh, we'll be '
playing till six, won't we?" 1
"Of course," said Jim, smiling at i

} her—and turning to me with the
crease between his eyes just show
ing, added, "I'd like to speak to
you a minute, Anne."
He led me aside under the unwav
ering eyes of Valerie Cosby' and said
| in a low angry voice:
j "Why don't you eat when other
| folks do? If you want lunch, order
it in your room and pay for it. You
know we're guests and we can hard
ly suggest meals our hosts don't
order. But I beg of you, Anne, just
for this once, don't insist on having
everything your own way."
I thought of that dreadful break
fast for which I hadn't been offered
a single choice of my own. Yet I
didn't answer Jim because my voice
couldn't have found a way to force
itself out of my throat. With a start
I realized that I was thinking about
the petty annoyance of the day, and
passing by the big trouble that had
once worried me so. Jim was pre
paring to mamble again. Didn't I
care?

CHAPTER VI.
Promptly at a quarter of twelve
Delaine and the limousine were in
front of Samuel Lelghton's house.
David had driven the car a short
way uptown and back, just to be
sure that he understood it thorough
ly and that his hands had not lost
their cunning. On this point at least
he had no cause for nervousness.
Nevertheless, he felt uncomfort
able as he glanced up at the win
dows of his employer's home. He
did not know what a chauffeur
should do at this juncture. Should
he ring the bell and announce his
presence, or should he wait outside
until it suited Miss Leighton's pleas
ure to come out?
At the end of five minutes the
front door opened and his employ
er's daughter appeared. He sprang
down from the driver's seat and
opened the door of the car for her.
He knew that chauffeurs did this,
and was aware that it was expected
of him. He felt as if he ought to
uncover his head at the same time,
as he had always been most courtly j
in his manners to women. But he
recalled his present position, and
touched liis hat as he had seen
coachmen do.
Miss Leighton paused, her foot on
the step of the car.
"Smith," she said, "of course you
do not know yet what my wishes
are. But I always like my chauf
feur to announce to the maid that
he has come. Hereafter ring the
bell as soon as you arrive and tell
Norali that you are here."
"Yes, Miss."
She stepped into the car, sat
■ down, and looked at him as if wait
ing for some action on his part.
For a moment he was all confusion.
Plainly something more was ex
pected of him. All at once he no
ticed the fur motor-robe, and, un
folding it, threw it over her knees.
"Thanks," she murmu.red.
She directed him to drive to an
address on Park avenue. There she
ordered him to tell the hallboy to j
announce to Mrs. Duflteld that the
car was here.
David Returns
This command obeyed, David re
turned to the automobile and stood
as he had seen other chauffeurs do,
by the open door. The wind swept
down from the north and out of the
corners of his eye he saw Miss
Leighton draw her furs more close
ly about her neck. Then, looking
at him, she spoke suddenly:

c "Smith, where is your overcoat?"
The abrupt question startled him
into a momentary dumbness. She
e repeated the query, her voice stern:
n "I—l—do not need'one, Miss," he
stammered,
t "But you do," she insisted. "I
e can see that you are cold. You
- should have brought your overcoat,
t Don't you know that this sudden
t cold weather might give a cold that
might lead to pneumonia?"
He appreciated that evasion would
- do no good. He was chilly, and had
e been chilly ever since he took the
r car from the garage. He had re
-1 fleeted with relief that his livery
si would undoubtedly include an over-
B [ coat.
. J "I am sorry. Miss, but I have no
I overcoat that would be suitable for
e me to wear while driving."
"But you surely have an outer
-.coat of some kind," she insisted.
1 "What have you been wearing this
Autumn?"
i, How persistent she was! "My
1 army overcoat," he said bluntly.
| She caught her breath in sur
, | prise. "Your army coat! You were
.•Jin the service?"
"Yes, Miss."
1 "I am glad you were!" she said,
i and now she smiled kindly. "I was
wondering why a strong young man
i like you was out of the service. By
the way—how does it happen that
i you are out of it now?"
3 He swallowed hard yet he an
. swered: "My health, Miss. I had a
t slight accident."
a "That accounts for you looking
1 rather pale and thin. What kind of
an accident did you have?"
"To a lung."
t "A lung? What do you mean?
. You have no tubercular trouble,
. have you?"
No Tubercular Trouble
"Oh, no," he hastened to reassure
her. "It's only the result of an ac
. cident. I will be all right before
long, I hope."
She looked at him searchingly.
"Were you" she began.
But at that instant, to David's
relief, Mrs. Duffield came out of the
house and hurried across the side
walk.
"I am so sorry to have kept you
waiting, my dear," she said. "But
my clocks are all wrong."
"That's all right," the girl re
joined, absent mindedly. Leaning
forward, she addressed David just
as he took his seat. "Smith, drive
around by your home or boarding
place and get your overcoat."
The man was silent long enough
to sunjmon courage to protest.
"Indeed, Miss Deighton," he sniil, ;
speaking through the open window J
of the car, "I would rather not do
that, I do not need the coat."
Her face flushed as if she were
displeased, but she spoke calmly.
"Very well. Drive down to Carne
gie Hall. I want to get some tick
! ets," she added, turning to Mrs.
Duffield.
David DeLane piloted his car
down Fifth avenue, his face was hot
with a mixture of indignation and
amusement. He wanted to laugh,
yet felt an impulse toward pro
fanity. He could not blame his
young mistress for speaking to him
as she did. He had put himself in
this position.
The errand at Carnegie attended
to, a short shopping tour followed.
David was learning readily the i
rules to be followed by a chauffeur
who drives through the shopping
district. Yet he drew a breath of
relief when at last Miss Leighton
spoke the welcome words:
"Home now, Smith. Do not drive
by Mrs. Duffield's. She will lunch
with me."

Advice to the Lovelorn
A SLOW WOOING
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have known a very respectable
girl for ten years; the fact is I al
ways dearly loved her, but never
told her. About a year ago I joined
the army. In a short time I wrote
her a card, then it got to be very
friendly letters, and when I came
home about,two months ago I called
on her, ana she seemed greatly
pleased to see me. I told her of my
love for her, and she readily told
me the same thing. Since then I
have been calling on her and taking
her out. But when we come home
she insists on having a hugging
and kissing party for a half hour or
so.
Now, the question I would like
to have answered is this: Is this
proper, for she is a girl I can trust,
knowing her so long. She is as
good a girl as can be found.
A CONSTANT READER.
I am afraid you are to self-con
tained temperamentally to realize
how much the young lady must think
of you. Remember, you have known
her for ten years, and doubtless
during much of that time she cared
for you, but owing to the restrictions
thnt hedge in "the fair" under such
circumstances, she was unable to
show it.
Finally the war brought matters
to a taidy climax, and thy ,:iil is
demonstrative—well, it's up to you
to become engaged and hurry up tne
wedding. Ten years is a cruelly long
time to consume In maklug up one's ■
ti-ind.
