At about 5 o'clock it stopped raining. 1 decided to forsake my lonely big chair in the lobby of the Inlet House and go out for a walk. It seemed to me that the poker players must be tired and head achy now from their long confine ment in Lane Cosby's room, that Valeric or even Jim might like to go with me for a breath of air. So I hurried around to the door and tapped gently. No answer. Then I rapped smartly, and after a minute or two Lane Cosby came to the door. His coat was off and his sleeves rolled above his elbows. The room was heavy with smoke. Every nian hut Jim had removed his coat, Yal was in their midst, narrow-eyed and nonchalant, smoking a cigaret and ruffling the edges of her cards with a slim forfinger. There was a tray of sandwiches and ginger ale on a side table. "It's cleared," 1 announced, with waning enthusiasm. "1 thought you might have noticed it. So, I'm call ing y.our attention to it. Who's lor a walk with me?" Before'anyone else could answer, Jim looked up, the crease between his eyebrows folding in and the brows themselves twitching as I'd never before seen them do. His lin gers heat a tattoo on the table, his shoulders hunched —his gambling posture. "My wife doesn't know poker— or understand its charm," he ex plained jerkily, while 1 stood hu miliated at having him explain me to the three strange men who were in the room. "The game's not over, Anne. . . . Probably won't be— till when did we say? Oh, yes, 6.30. Run along, child, and take your walk." Valerie looked up. smiled at me, waved the hand holding her cigar et. Then the door closed to a mur mured, "I'm sorry" from Lane Cosgv. When I got to my room I found that I no longer cared to take a walk. "Of course I can't go out," I told myself, walking over to the window and stretching my eyes wide and holding them fixed and solemn on a slim, white, spire-topped church far away. "How could I go out in the wet without rubbers? And f baven't any. So of coursq I can't go out. None of us can possibly to-day." Then I flung myself down on the bed to rest for the evening. Rut ] had no physical weariness from which to rest, and no refuge from my own thoughts. All day long no one had paid the least attention to me. J simply had not counted. That dreadful break fast in Valerie Cosby's stufly, un tidy. room; my lunch alone; the dragging hours. How different it would have been if I'd. stayed with Betty! Betty would have thought of me. 11l and suffering, she woui have been a kinder hostess than the spoiled beauty a few doors away. . Contrasting Terry, tall and trim and perfectly groomed, with Lane Cosby, whom his wife called a "big." brown bear," was almost funny. And there would have been Ton>, too—kind, unselfish, patient, dependable Tony with his steady, Ice-blue eyes under heavy brows that didn't twitch.

With whom was I contrast ing Tony? Then I must have dozed for all of a sudden I heard Jim's voice cry ing: "Haven't you started dressing yet? It's seven and dinner will be in half an hour. Val left us an hour ago. Now try to look half-way decent, Anne." [ So I got up and tried. But I'd only my old gray and rose dress— and a feeling of being abused be ! cause I hadn't been given enough j notice to send down to Wickham's I for the stunning lace and jet dress I they could probably have finish' !up in a hurry. And when we got | downstairs there was Valerie in a ! slim, girlish thing—white brocade I draped softly over a girdle of black j velvet. She was pale, but crimson | lipped and her hair had an enor i mous amber comb in its black waves. She looked like a new hy j brid flower —a cross between gar denia and poinsettia. "How dear you look—like straw- I berry ice cream!" she cried smooth- I ly. That made me very conscious 1 of the contrast we presented—ice I cream and flowers. All through the dinner she was j smoothly sweet to me and creamily | deferential to her husband and flashingly brilliant when she turned to Jim the many-faceted nature she chose him to see. 1 had a bad time of it holding my end. I was dull. I couldn't man age a gracious manner. My head ached and ideas wouldn't come. Presently that ordeal ended like a bad dreqm. Then dancing. I had partners, hut they didn't matter. In the fore ground of my consciousness was the fact that I hadn't seen Jim and Valerie since the third or fourth j dance. 1 kept going till midnight. Then I found Lane Cosby and told him I had a headache andwas go j ing to bed. "Little Y'al was tired and went | long ago," he replied, indulgently. | "Then you don't think I'm rude," I said, gratefully. | "Not a bit of it. Run along." So I ran along. YVhen I got up ! stairs it occurred to me that it might he only decent to stop at Va lerie's door and see if there was anything I could do for her. I turned down the corridor, stopped i at her room and knocked ever so so lightly. No answer. "Mrs. Cosby—it's Anne. Can I do anything for you?" I whispered. Still no answer. In a sort of | stupor I turned the knob. It gave. The door opened and I stepped over I the threshold. The room was empty.

David De Laine was thoroughly chilled by the time that he stopped again at his employer's house and assisted the ladies to alight from the car. At least, he assisted Mrs. Duffieid. Miss Leighton sprang out quickly, seeming to Ignore his outstretched hand. He thought she was going to pass him without a word, but she paused and looked at him gravely. "Smith," she said, "I shall want ttie car this afternoon at 4. We are going for a little drive. Before that hour make time to go to your rooms and gel. your overcoat." "Yts, Miss," he responded, touch ing his <ap. "I do not understand," she went on, seveie'y, "why you did not ?ot it this morning when I told you to. I am perfectly willing to have you go bv for it." He did not reply. That he, David DeLuine, should drive this girl over to his cheap lodging house on Lex ington cvenue and allow her to wait while he went in for his overcoat was unthinkable. Few girls wound have permitted him to do sucn a thing, he reflected. Even if this was a rich mar s petted daughter, she had a kind heart. "But you will wear a coat this afternoon," she said now. "Yes, Miss, I will—if you do not mind the looks of a khaki coat," he replied. No One Could Object "In these days nobody should object to khaki," she said quickly. "Be here at four." He drove away, his mind full of speculations. Was this the girl who had been Aunt Jeanne's favorite? He bad hoped that Mrs. Duffieid. wiuin he heard Miss Leighton ad dress as "Aunt Sylvia," would call he,- companion by her fir3t name. Instead, Mrs. Duffleld had called her "Deu r," Nor did she use any other term in the chauffeur's hearing that aft ernoon when he drove the two DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS SRO3 A PRETTY STYLE FOR SLENDER FIGURES 2803 —Shanting, serge, voile, duve tyn, gabardine, or taffeta would be nice for this model.

At the end of an l.our he l-'lt Mrs. Duffleld at her apart ment ard his young mistress at her own home. As he opened the door of the car for her, Desiree gave a start of sur prise, and, following her glance, Da vid saw that she had noticed the wounds stripe on his right arm. He cursed himself for a fool for not hav,ng ripped off the bit of gilt braid. He had become so accus tomed to it himself that he had actually forgotten that it might cause remark. "Why—why"—the girl began. But he interrupted her so brusquely as to sound almost rude. "Am I to drive downtown now for Mr. Leighton, please?" he inquired. She frowned. "I was about to give you your orders," she said coidly. "I beg your pardon," he mur mured. SI e went on Without seeming to notice his apology. "You may call at Mr. Leighton's office foi him. He will be ready by the time you get downtown. Unless he wants you this evening, I prob ably shall not. But you might stop at the garage about 7.30 and see if we need the car. If we do, we will telephone there." "Yes, Miss." She looked after him as he drove away, her brows drawn together in annoyance or perplexity. A Queer Sort "A queer kind of a fellow," she mused. "Yet he certainly is good looking. But that wound stripe makes me feel queer. I don't like the idea of having one of our 'boys' doing chauffeur's work for us." Later she expressed this senti ment to her father. "Dad, do you know that Smith has a wound stripe on his right sleeve?" Her father regarded her with a teasing smile. "Daughter, dear, you are seeing things. I noticed especially his faded khaki coat this afternoon, and he certainly had no wound stripe on it." 4 "Then he ripped it off after he saw me looking at it!" she ex claimed. "I wonder if that is his own coat after all—or if he bor rowed it." "From what he told me it may he his all right," Leighton repoined. "He does not impress me as an im postor." "But, Dad, he did have a wound stripe on his coat." "Well," was the calm reply, "un less he is a liar, he rates one, my dear." "What!'* "I mean that he was in the serv ice and overseas," Samuel Leigh ton explained in a practical tone. "And he got a bullet through the lungs. So he came back here and took a job as chauffeur." "Oh, Dad! And he is driving us around! I do not approve of it!" "And why not? Little girl, do not be so idealistic. That was just the reason 1 did not mention his past to you—for fear you would let senti ment run away with common sense. The fact that a man has been at the front does not mean that he is fitter to be a college president." She colored at his rebuke. "I sup pose I am over-romantic," she ad mitted. "Well, don't be!" her father ad vised. "If a man is fitted to attain a certain position, he will attain it But the fact that he has proved himself no slacker does not mean that he would not be happy as a chauffeur—or as a street cleaner, for that matter. He is just the same chap he was before he donned Un cle Sam's uniform." "That reminds me," Desiree sub gested. Can't Smith have his livery soon? I hate to order about a man in the coat of the service." "That's nonsense!" her father de clared. "However, his overcoat is very shabby. So I'll think about his livery—although I suppose I should wait until I get his reference." "I fancy his references will be all right," his daughter said quietly.

These attacks are usually the result of constipation, which Is n most easily acquired disorder Life's Problems Are Discussed I listened to the complaints of a man regarding woman's apparel. He said his daughter wanted to take a special course of some kind and he sought a tutor for her. A woman highly recommended called on him at his request. He looked her over and decided then and there that she would not do —recommen- dations to the contrary. She had bobbed her hair until it hung about her ears. She wore heel less shoes. Her coat had the effect of a man's overcoat, and did not disdain spots which would have yielded easily to the cleaner's art. Her hat was a slouch thing that no man but a tramp would have put on his head. "The women of my family have always been spotlessly neat," he re marked. "especially concerning those pretty things women wear about the neck and wrists; and 1 couldn't ask my daughter to respect the mental accomplishments of one so slovenly. One's clothes are just as much an indication of one's mental attitude as any other attribute. They are the outward expression of an inner sense of fitness, an inner love of order, an inner appreciation of harmony with one's surroundings. So I decided that although this highly recom mended lady might fit in somewhere else, it would not be in my house hold." That was one instance nt least where appearance counted.

And the way of it is this: It was necessary for our boys in t'.ie trenches to have real coffee, and yet they did not have the means to make it. So Hires Instant Soluble Coffee was made. And as proof that Hires Instant Soluble Coffee met every govern ment requirement, 66 2-3 per cent, of all the trench col Tee contracted for by the American Army was this same Hires Instant Soluble Coffee. We couldn't agree t.o supply more than this because our facilities would not permit. Carefully chosen coffee beans from a choice selection of Java and Mocha coffee are used in making Hires In stant Soluble Coffee. And the pure delicious juice of these beans is dried and converted into a powdered, soluble form. Immediately water is added, the coffee powder dissolves and becomes as originally made. Having Hires Instant Soluble Coffee, means no more trouble over the cof fee pot and no more emptying coffee grounds. It means that elimination of waste. You make coffee just us you want it whenever you want it, too —and you don't have two or three cups left over in the pot. And Hires Instant Soluble Coffee can now be secured in 30c tins or larger sizes, for use right in your home. A 30c can of Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is equivalent to a pound of the best Mocha and Java coffee.

We are tired of dull I clothes that remind us of Winter. | We need the spur of fresh apparel, I new garments to stimulate new thought and new ideas. Yet we are not so sure as is Na ! ture in her effects. Our efforts do | not always create the illusion of I beauty and lend enchantment, and now, more than at any other sea ' son of the year, we are frequently ineffective when we study hardest for appropriate effects. I think it is because we do not sufficiently consider our clothes in re llation to ourselves and as an' ex j pression of our own individuality. That was the fault the man com plained of in the tutor. We have so much offered to us in the department stores and shops that often we buy what is attractive without considering its suttability to ourselves, or else we become bewild- I ered by the multiplicity of offerings and go astray. I have had letters from several correspondents on this subject. One girl wrote me that she spent a great deal of money on her clothes, more than she could afford; yet she never had just the right thing to wear, never looked what she called well dressed. While another girl she knew j was always well dressed, always had I the proper thing for the occasions, and on half the money. Perhaps my correspondent's troub le is just that haphazard buying most of us are led into by what we see in the shops—a sort of lack of con sideration of self, an inability to visualize one's self in the garments we buy. The best dressed woman I ever knew spent comparatively little money on her clothes, but a tre mendous lot of thought. She knew exactly what she could wear. Nor was this the result of studied vanity, but a deference to her self-respect, an appreciation of her place in the world.

She never bought a dress or even a hand kerchief wihout knowing just how and when it was to he worn. She selected first, early in the season, what she calls "the essen tials." These she made her foun dation of her wardrobe and added to them from time to time as her demands and social needs required. If she were wearing blue, then everything she purchased toned in or harmonized with that; and the same if it were brown or gray or even black. Many changes then were made simply, and things har monized as they never would have if she had bought a haphazard se lection. If she felt the need for more color she found it in afternoon or evening dresses. Her "essentials" were shoes, gloves, a smart hat—suitable for every occasion but full dress—-and a street suit: then blouses and pretty neckwear, and after those accessor ies other frocks and gowns to meet social requirements. But one may go far with just that one well-tailored suit; for my well-dressed woman told me that once, when she had been detained two weeks while traveling and obliged to wait without her trunks, her one tailored suit served her every demand, supplemented as it was by a number of blouses which DAY AND NIGHT SCHOOL SCHOOL OF COMMERCE Fully Accmlited Troup Building 15 S.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP We tind you can bring out the beauty of your hair to its very best advantage by washing it with can. throx. it makes a very simple, in expensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp, thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, wholesome feeling. After its use, you will tind that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streak ed in appearance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of canthrox, which you can get from any good druggist, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to ap ply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. 7
