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.

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.
