"Mrs. Cosby!" I called again to the
empty room.
Of course there wasn't any answer.
I waited a minute or two as if I. ex

from some ot the cobwebby chiffons
that were flung across.chain ana

He might. She might. But I knew
better. In every resentful beat of my
heart. I knew that Valerie Cosby and
Jim were out in the moonlight, to

a fool of. And so was Lane Cosby.
I wondered what he'd do if he knew.
Valerie and Jim in the moonlight.
There had been moonlight in our
honeymoon week. As I sat there dry

that it was the moonlight I resented.

us for fools.
There wasn't a thing I could do.
Nothing but wait. I saw that. I'd
be making a still worse fool of my
self if I telephoned downstairs and
asked for my husband. If he were
in the hotel he'd snarl at me for dis
turbing him. If he were out in the
moonlight—what then? It was bad
enough for me to suspect. Surely
there was no object in having the
whole hotel know.
I must have sat there like that
! for half an hour. Then there was
la knock at my door. I went to an
swer and found Lane Cosby in the
hall, chuckling, actually chuckling.
| "May I come in?" he asked quite
innocently.
' "I'd better come out into the hall,"
I I replied coldly.
! "Oh, yes—of course," he said, as if
it really didn't matter at all. "I've
just had a phone message from my
little madcap. She didn't go to bed,
after all. Met your husband in the
elevator—and decided to go out for
a breath of air. Decided next to
I take the oar. Runs it hersell, you
know—little mischief! Put on her

| "When will they he back?" I ask
ed mechanically.
"Right away—right away," said
! Une Cosby pettishly. "Poor little
kid—she's such a brick! She would
walk to the nearest light with your
ihusband. He shouldn't have let her

"Perhaps he couldn't stop her," I
! ventured dryly.
! The irritation faded from Lane
Coshy's face.
j "Probably not. Little madcap!"
He chuckled again. "I'll have hot
chocolate and sandwiches for them
[in the room. Stay dressed and I'll
call you as soon as they get in."
I "I think I'll go to bed," I said in
!the most level tone 1 could manage.
I "I'm very tired."
I "But my little girl may need you,"
protested Lane Cosby, vigorously.

"Xot when she has you—-and Jim,"
X answered, keeping the implications
out of my voice.
"That's so," he said, indulgently. !
"Well, run along to bed. See you
in the morning."
I went to bed and pretended to
sleep.- It fooled Jim when he came
in an hour later—or perhaps he'd
heard the proverb: "It's best to let
sleeping dogs lie."
All day Sunday I avoided mention
of the night before. We stayed out
hours, open almost all day, and the
days went by placidly enough.
When we motored hack to the city,
Saturday's incident was seemingly
forgotten. And when Jim went down
to business Monday morning it was
still iincommented on. I told myself
that it was the merest episode—not
to be thought of again—to be smiled
over by me as indulgently as Lane
Cosby did. But in my heart of hearts
T knew it was a skeleton—locked in
the closet perhaps but there in
spite of the lock of silence.
"I won't think of it! I won't think
of it!" T kept telling myself as I
straightened things up in my bed
room Monday morning. Then the
phone jangled, and I answered, won
dering how I'd treat her if it were
Valerie.
"Anne?" asked a deep, vibrating
voice I knew at once—an unforget
able, unmistakable voice. "This is
Tony. . . How are you?"
"All right," I replied, formally.
"And you—and our Betty?"
"I want to tell yoji. . . But first
I want you to tell me why you ran
away when I came."
"I didn't —I can't. . . ."
"Anne!" there was reproach in his
tones, as if he were asking me not
fib to him. "Will you have lunch
with me?"
"Yes,." I said quietly, brushing
aside Jim's feelings in the matter.
"T'U .come for you at once. And
don't forget I want to know why
you ran away—from me!"
"I ran away from—you!" I echoed,
incredulously, as I hung up the re
ceiver.

LITTLE TALKS BY
BE A TRICE FAIRFAX
ly HKATRICK FAIRFAX
There is one type of puzzled and
distressed girlhood that writes to me
more frequently than any other—it
is the girl who though living at
home is practically homeless. Some
times she earns her living and some
times she does not. but always she
craves the unattainable—a home that
will be more than the place where
she eats and sleeps.
And when she is a wage earner
the case is harder than when she is
not, because after eight hours' v."il?
she requires recreation almost more
than she does food and sleep. All
the youth in her cries aloud for it —
that pent-uv> youth that during
business hours has been trying to
get as if it were an automaton.
But her parents have forgotten
the call of youth that a score of
years ago made restVaint as irk
some to them as it is to their
daughter to-day . They say very
naturally that they worked harder
than she. and very likely it 'a true,
but they eanniot possibly , need a
normal social life as much as she
needs it. The needs of youth are
imperative. Something goes wrong
if they are denied.
So when a girl writes me that she
is meeting a young man on the sly
and is worried over having to do so,
I know, even if she does not confide
in me, the sort or homo she has.
Perhaps the poor, overworked pa
rents feel that they are doing all
they can for their eldest daughter,
and that in denying her a little le
gitimate liberty they are shielding
her from temptation. But if they
could look over my mail sorpe morn
ing they would realize there is no
surer means of exposing a girl to
peril than to keep her from having
a normal social life at home.
Very likely they will "pooh pooh"
this as a childish and shallow griev
ance. They do not realize the hu
miliation—even tragedy—of a girl's
being unable to have the friends
she makes downtown in business at
her home because of the demands
of a boisterous and tumultuous fam
ily.
AH Children Together
Perhaps the younger children join
in the merriment at her expense,
threaten and carry out the threat
of misbehaving when the company
comes. And the short-sighted pa
rents, regarding them as "all chil
dren together," aid and abot the
younger fry in their amusement.
A sensitive girl does not repeat
this experiment more than once ofr
twice—it is too bitterly humiliating.
And it begins to get about that her
hoipe life is "funny." Other .girls
with the intuitive sex Jealousies of
youth are not slow in spreading the
report about the eccentricities of
Mary's household, and young people

do not care to go there, even if they
were made welcome.
How many tragedies of a lonely
or dependent old age have begun in
this way. A certain sensitive type
of girl resigns herself to the inev
itable and lets youth and opportu
nity slip by, while the girl of hard
ier temperament copes with the sit
uation after her own fashion. Out
wardly she conforms to the parental
discipline, but actually she carries
on a more hazardous social life on
the sly.
And who so deeply amazed when
the duplicity is revealed, as it fre
quently is, in an elopement or some
thing more tragic, than the parents
who in their blindness have first
connived at the mischief. Let jiar
ents remember their own youth, its
temptations, sorrows and Joys, and'
realize these things are now the
portion of their own girls and boys.
When the girl is not employed
j the case is different, the results are
I apt to be morbid in their effect, ns
she has more time to brood over the
abnormality of her situation. Take
the case of a girl whose activities
are confibed to a little housework, a
little reading, perhaps, and a little
church committee work and no
other outside interests. Her father
will not hear of her receiving young
men, her mother does not disap
prove of their society, but is too in
timidated by the father to attempt
to alter his views. The following
letter illustrates such a case:
Shy and Constrained
Dear Miss Fairfax:
As I am rather discontented
with my present lot and see no
chance of improving it, I am wlits
ing to you to see if you can s'aggest
a way out for me.
I have a very comfortable home
Jand my parents suplply me with
! everything within their power, but
deny me the society of boy friends.
They seem to be prejudiced against
my enjoying the society of young
1 men, as they think a girl should not
be acquainted with any man unless
he has immediate intentions of mar
rying her.
I am nineteen and as yet have
never been allowed to go out with\
any one. Naturally, whenever I meet
a member of the opposite sex I act
shy, reserved and constrained. In the
society of girls I feel no constraint
and take their company as a matter
of course. X want to do as my pa
rents think best for me, but it is
very hard and 1 hope you can find
a way out for
DISCONTENTED.
The reasonableness of the girls
plea ought to bring an immediate
response on the part of her parents.
As she says, she wants to do as they
think best, and it is not an agreeable
thought that a girl who wishes to
be obedient and do the right thing
may drift away from these ideals
through pressure of circumstance.
Advice to the Lovelorn
KVERYTHING I N DKSIRABLK
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am sixteen and considered good
looking. A short time ago I met a
man sixteen years my senior, with
whom I fell in love at first sight. He
told me he had a sick wife and
three children, but is trying to di
vorce his wife as she is sick and
makes life unpleasant for him. My
parents told him not to go with me.
Since then he does not seem to care
for me, as he always disappoints me
and does not answer my letters. Now
Miss Fairfax, 1 love this man very
dearly and forgive him all; but 1
cannot marry him as he wants to
keep his children and X am too
young to be a stepmother of three
children. Please advise me what
t0 BROKEN-HEARTED SIXTEEN.
The man you describe seems to
have every undesirable quality. He
is twice your age, and is ulso un
kind to an Invalid wife. Your par
ents were quite right in putting a
stop to his attentions to a child of
your age, and I hope you will turn
your attention to getting an educa
tion instead of a lover. As for the
man, he is not worth discussing.
ARE KISSING GAMES PROPER
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Do you think it proper for boys
and girls between the ages of four
teen and sixteen to play kissing
games at small gatherings each
week? CONSTANCE E.
No, I do not. 1 have always ob
jected to them. There are plenty of
other ways for young people to
amuse themselves.
