For weeks Jim and I haven t given each other any happiness. There s no dodging that fact. Time was when no matter how sadly we differed, we made up for the hurts in the tender ness we showed each other afterward. Now Jim slights and belittles me and there isn't any compensating tenderness later. I've been wondering and wonder ing if any man but one tired of his wife would say calmly to her: "Do you mean to tell me we ve come to the parting of the ways.

It is hard to bear. But it isn t as startling as my own attitude toward the midnight auto ride Jim and Yal took. I asked no question then. I don't know that I'll ever discuss it, for strangely enough, it doesn't seem worth bothering about. Terhaps I've suffered all 1 can through Jim. and am numb new, impervious to anything he can Since he doesn't care what I do unless my actions help or hinder him with his business friends, and if what he does no longer matters to me. haven't we come to the part ing of the ways? And if we have do I care? T I don't know. I only know that I net Anthony Norreys for lunch, feix months ago I wouldn't have dream ed of doing such a thing, but six months ago Jim and I were happy. Tcny was waiting when I arrived at the restaurant. As he rose and came to greet me, his ® mlle " minated his worn face and made his ice-blue eyes warm and kind. .M> restlessness vanished as il a^ ay ® does before combination of Anthony Norrey's strength, sweetness and honesty. "Welcome!" he said. ive a table at a sunny window looking out on the avenue, and there are pungent clams waiting to bribe you to tell me why you ran away from Betty s. As we crossed to our table, I won dered if Tony actually knew I liked clams and sunny windows, or if we merely happened to have those tastes in common. As soon as we were seated I asked him.

SATURDAY EVENING, lot of 'cm—the night you and Betty and I formed our Friendship Club. Now that I've led gracefully 'round to friendship again, tell me vyhy >'ou ran away from this friend —he is a friend, isn't he?" "Otherwise I wouldn't be here," I replied gravely. "But why do you persist in saying I ran away?" "Your bag at the station," As he said that tersely, I noticed again how rugged and sturdy Tony's chin is. A chin like his doesn't put up with equivocations. It demands truth, whether sweet or bitter. "I did run away," I confessed. "If you'll think back to the day of Betty's wedding, and the way Jim showed his feeling about the 'charity Job' you gave him you'll not need to ask me any more questions." For a moment, Tony's face looked even gaunter than usual. Then he said: ■>" l see. I want your friendship. Want it very much, child. But not if it's going to cost you too much. Don't decide quickly." "But there's nothing to decide." 1 cried with the splendid feeling that comes from knowing what you want to do and knowing you'll do it. "lour friendship's mine. I feel sure of that without pretense or question, j Ar.d my friendship's yours. I can't ' arty more change that than I can ' change the color of my eyes." "That's splendid, Anne. I can't j tell you how much it means to an j ugly old chap like me to know I j possess the friendship of a radiant ! young spring-time creature like ! you. But if it's going to cause you j any unpleasantness with that fine I ycung chap you've married. I'll keep | out of your way and still get joy from knowing we're friends." "What's the good of being friends with folks if you don't see 'em?" I asked, pertly. "That was youth speaking, child," replied Anthony N'orrevs with a wise,* kind smile. "Friendship and faith 1 are good with the seas between them. But they're no good if they cause hurt or dissenMon." "But ours won't cause hurt or dis- ! sension," I cried eagerly. "Jim ! though me a great silly to run away j as I did." "Fine!" Tony exclaimed. "Then we are friends—not long-distance ! ones either. If ever you need me and I you will let me try to help. I'll be i proud to serve. Is that decided on?" ! "It's all settled. And I'm so comfy I ar.d happy and peaceful—l could t purr." I replied, looking at him with : the most restful cheerful feelings I I'd had in ages. Then my glance strayed out of j the window to the avenue. Round- j ing the corner were Neal and Evvy j Mason. In a flash I noticed that j Xeal was still shabby. I shrank back, I more because I hated to see them j together than for any other reason. 1 Evvy was looking up adoringly at i Ncal, and then coquettishly turning j away. As she turned her eyes trav- j eled across the front balcony of the j restaurant, lingered, peered in and j then fixed themselves knowingly, j in.pudently on Anthony Norreys and I me. There was something in the ex- ' pression on Evay's face that ended my peaceful cheerful feelings. To be continued.

He regarded me blankly for a moment or two, then said he supposed she must be well because he had just paid a thumping bill for a new riding habit, but really he saw her so seldom •He didn't look sad, or bitter, or resentful when he said it there was just the amused flicker of a smile in his eyes, the smile of the American pater faniilias who real izes that his place in the family cosmos is that of a Cash Register. The car was waiting for hint as I made the inquiry about his daugh ter, and 1 noticed that his office boy was stoying away in the back a portion, at least, of the family marketing. There was lettuce, a damp, brown paper parcel that look ed as if it contained meat, and the youthful factotum reminded him not to forget the ice cream which he was to call for at the confectioner's. He made a note of the ice cream on his cuff and drove off. He has a delightful home in a fashionable suburb, and his wife and daughter are the type of whom a visiting Frenchman once said: "The sweat from Jonathan's brow is crystallized into diamonds that adorn his wo menkind" —or words to that effect. Now some men like that kind of j a family, a wife and daughters that suggest a votive shrine hung with the voluntary contributions of the faithful. Such men have a curious feeling that their family reflects their own importance they stand for the outward symbols of an in ward prosperity. The ladies are. in other words, the equivalent of an excellent Bradstreet rating. But have you ever noticed that once the ladies get the votive shrine habit they never seem to have any further interest in Father apart from his gifts? He knows they are alive and supposedly well, because a bill for a riding habit would indicate a degree of health; but he only sur mises, he really sees them so seldom! A Lovable Cash Register And the Cash .Register Father is usually the most lovable type of man. I always wonder why his family never bother to become ac quainted with him—they really know nothing of him beyond his role of Paying Teller. And when he isn't paying the bills he is running the family errands. He is duplicating the market that the green-grocer Daily Dot Puzzle 27 > .25 28 . 23 •3o * 22. 31* .21 52 *2o \ b • '* " * .19 . ? * 35 • 3 _ * '• 14 * lb 37* 38 35 . 13 • • A • • 4o j "■ Draw from one to two, and so on | to the end.

If the cook flees like a shadow during the night. Mamma will tell him to get his breakfast on the way downtown. She takes only coffee, and there isn't going to be any reg ular breakfast that morning. Per haps she will phone hbn during the •lay to get his dinner downtown, too, as the family is still in a state of cook-less desuetude. The daughters sometimes turn out quite brilliant impromptus on the chafing dish for strange young men who have happened to have missed a meal or who come home with them after the theater, but no one ever thinks of making any of these concoctions for Father—the impres sion prevails that he is an "auto matic self-feeder." This is the type of martyr who is constantly consulted on the tele phone during the day about house hold matters. His womankind never really know him. never actually see him, yet he is attached. He is like the invisible "Cential" at the other end of the phone; ho may be sum moned at any moment. And he is summoned, poor dear, to be told that the last cook he brought home is not satisfactory. Her breath smells of vanilla and the ragout she made for lunch was unspeakable. And will he please stop at the "Gentlewoman's Jam Pot" and bring out one that has a little less white to her eye. And, oh! yet, will he please ask the stenographer if she will go downtown and get two yards and three-eighths of black pussy willow taffeta, and four bunches of turquoise beads; ye 6, "they" know the kind. And the poor old camel, who has not yet had quite the last straw ap plied to his patient back, never re bels. It is all in the day's work — the office and the business mixed up with the constant intrusion of the family and their concerns. And at the first of the month the bills—■ oh, it's a gay life that father leads when he happens to be of the gen tle, long-suffering type! But the trouble is that the family usually waits for father to die be fore it becomes really acquainted with him. In life, he is a useful and impersonal bit of household furni ture, less conspicuous than the hall hatrack, perhaps, but infinitely more valuable. And he is too bad when the family waits for the obituary notices of father to be printed to recognize his virtues. Hen 11 j Worth Cultivating Because all said and done, he is really worth cultivating. His posi tion has usually developed a gentle, whimsical sort of humor that is as mild as milk. He has a taking way of being kind to things less fortun ate than himself, and he usually has a fad or two that are . apt to be interesting. And the dogs all know father, even if the family does not, and they have a friendly greeting for him as he hurries on his driven way. One sweet "old dear" of this type rescued himself from oblivion at the eleventh hour, by writing hectic love letters to himself in a disguised fem inine hand. And these, with their burning, sizzling contents, he would leave carelessly about in his coat pockets, because along with every thing else, mother had always re garded it as a sacred duty to censor father's mail. Well, it worked. And when the last letter hinted at an elopement and the unknown fair in her delicate back hand said that the family would be better off without him and that she would be the last fo object to the modest Income he proposed leaving them before starting—then the family discovered father. And it was so much better all round than waiting for them to learn of his vir tues through the obituary column. Oh, father, was a wag when he wrote those lery love letters to him self, and no mistake! Advice to the Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfax. Addicted to Alcohol Dear Miss Fairfax: I am about to be released from the navy. I am in love with a young lady who is ad dicted to alcohol, and it is seriously impairing her efficiency as a school teacher. Do you think I ought to wait until after July 1, 1919, to ob serve her actions. W. O. D. It would appear as if you are tak ing something of a risk in making this young lady your wife. The only victory over alcoholism is a moral one. And if you are depending on July 1 to clear up the situation you must not forget that tho unscrupu lous find means to sell alcohol, even as the weak find means to buy. Why not try to persuade her to undergo a course of treatment at a good sanitarium, as her future happiness depends on her ability to overcome this fault, it would be well worth her while. V THE LOVE GAMBLER By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER VIII. (Copyright, 1919. Star Company. On the evening following Desi ree's suggestion to her father with regard to David's livery, the employ er had a talk with his chauffeur. David had driven Mr. and Miss Leighton down to Carnegie. Here they dismissed him with the order that he. come back at ten-forty-live. When he returned the audience was just coming out of the hall and tne crowd was so great that he had to wait for some minutes for his turn t<f drive up to the entrance. Once in front of the door, he descended from his seat and stood waiting while his employer und his employ er's daughter came from the build ing and crossed the sidewalk. With them was a young man who was chatting volubly. "It has been a pleasure to see you again," he said, as he helped the girl into the car. "Good-night!" Lifting his hat, he drew back, and his eyes fell upon David's khaki-colored overcoat. He started slight, as in surprise. "Home, Smith," Leighton di rected. Then, to the young man who still stood, his eyes fixed on De Laine, "Good night, Jefferson. We shall be happy to see you at our house whenever you come." But the man did not reply. He was watching David as he started the car. . .. . And David, feeling rather than seeing this scrutiny, pulled his cap down further over his face. He had met this fellow in Baltimore in that time designated as "before the war." At this instant it seemed years ago. Had Walter Jefferson recognized him, he wondered, uneasily. But of course he had not. Perhaps some thing in De Laine's face had re called a passing memory. He and Jefferson had known each other very slightly—had only met when the New Yorker had come to Balti more for a couple of dances given by a cousin, who had since married. In n Dilemma Nevertheless, David mused, this kind of chance was not agreeable. It was his army coat that had at tracted notice. If he were in livery, nobody would regard him particu larly. Just now, when the thoughts jof all were turned to the men over- DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS A NEAT ATTRACTIVE HOUSE OR PORCH DRESS 2812 —This model is excellent for percale, seersucker, lawn, gingham, linen. drill, gabardine, rep, and poplin.

Yet, David reliected miserably, he had not the money to buy himself a new I overcoat. He would be thankful when his references were received. He longed for the disguise of a chauffeur's livery. The couple on the rear seat of the car were discussing the matter that was in the chauffeur's mind. "Mr. Jefferson looked at Smith very queerly," Desiree commented. "I wish. Dad, that he had his regu lar livery. I know people must think it's strange that we should let our man wear a shabby old army overcoat." "Maybe that is true," Samuel Leighton admitted. "I noticed my self how Jefferson stood stock still and stared. Rather rude, too, I call it. Nevertheless, I may us well let Smith go down town to-morrow and be measured for his livery." Desiree drew a sigh of satisfac tion. "That's good," she approved. "I am glad you've decided on that. Perhaps, I am getting absurdly con scious of that army coat." "I thing you are, my dear," the parent agreed. Thus it came about that Samuel Leighton told David De Laine to wait for a moment before taking his car back to the garage that night. "Come into the library with me," he said after he had opened the front door for his daughter, and had seen her on her way upstairs. David had followed him wonder ingly and uneasily. He had felt uncomfortable since his meeting with Jefferson a while ago. Switching on the light above the great table in the library, Samuel Leighton sat down and drew a sheet of note paper towards him. "I am going," he explained, "to give you a few lines to Strafford & Company from whom I get my liveries. I would like you to report there to-morrow morning and be measured for what I am ordering here." "Yes, sir," David responded. A Wave of Homesickness While Mr. Leighton was writing his employe took advantage of the waiting period to look carefully about him. I The room was luxuriously and tastefully furnished —and there were easy chairs and books everywhere. It was a place in which people could live, love and be happy. A wave of homesickness swept over the young man. He was think ing back to the time when he, too, had a home. How well he remem bered — "Here you are!" • Samuel Leighton swung around in his desk-chair and held the letter out to him. "Take this downtown early to-morrow. We shall not want the car before afternoon. And tell them to hurry the Job. 1 have also written them to do so in that note." "Y'es, sir." There was a pause. As David met his employer's gaze, he spoke im pulsively. "I appreciate the confidence in me that your ordering this livery im plies," he began. He stopped. This was not the language a hireling would use to his employed—a hireling of the type he was supposed to be. "I mean," he stammered, "are you sure, sir, you would not rather wait till you get my references?" "No. 1 can trust you." Then, be fore David could guess his inten tion, Leighton caught hold of the sleeve of the army coat and turned It. quickly to the light. There was a tiny unbleached triangle where a wound stripe had been. "Why did you take that off?" the older man asked abruptly. "I did not care to excite com ment by wearing it," was the low CATARRH For head or throat Catarrh try the vapor treatment— m.
