Are you feeling strong and helpful this morning?" I asked Virginia as we dropped in at Wlckham's togeth er the day after Evvy had paid me her unpleasant and unforgetable visit. I ' . "Like" a tower of strength, so lean on me, grandma!" Virginia laughed. "It's like this," I explained, ac companying Virginia to the little ivory and green booth, where she was to have her fittings. "I want to spend some money and also to save some. So will you help me pick out a new suit and help Jim make up his mind to move into our apartment, even though all the tit tings aren't in it yet? No use paying the Wal grave a fortune every day when we have an apartment of our own." "Why don't you help Jim make up his mind?" asked Virginia, turn ing away and busying herself with the snappers of her blouse. "I can't," I confessed, feeling re lief in my frankness. "Jim calls me a miser—in fun, perhaps, but he thinks I don't know how to enjoy life." "I think so, too," commented Vir. ginia dryly. Then she came over and put her hand on my shoulder in a gesture much like one of Jim's. "Anne, don't try so hard to save for a rainy day and let all the sunny ones get away from you. I'll take carc of the Walgrave situation. Now you see to it that Jim's wife looks more like the lilac girl he married, and less like a worried, shabby wo man who's above thinking about clothes." "Jim hardly knows whether I'm a lilac girl or a shrub bush these days," I confessed. Virginia's eyes searched mine, and I summoned a smile to meet her gaze. I felt that her troubles were bigger than mine and that I'd be a beast to let her see ntc whimper ing. It was of Virginia T thought not of Jim as I had done heretofore when talking to her about him.

He's a regular man!" " 'Nuff said,' " I replied, avoiding i any suggestion of heroics. "Now I'll fit my lace dinner gown, and as soon as you're through with your [ own fitting, will you come and help Ime pick out a suit?" Virginia acquiesced, and I went over to my fitting appointment without felling her that in the be ginning I'd not had the slightest in tention of getting a Wickham suit and paying a Wickham price for it. Half an hour later a procession of mannikins was swinging by, while Virginia and I sat inspecting them and their costumes as critically as the judges look over entries at a dog show. "I'd like to see my sister in that blue suit. Emily," Virginia said to the saleswoman. So presently I was swinging about like a mannikin, while Virginia in spected my lines and the tailoring of a little suit that didn't look vast ly different to my untrained eye from the ones for which I had been accustomed to paying $35. "It's just right," Virginia said, finally. "Mrs. Harrison must have a smarter vest, though, fine batiste instead of that ugly brocade. See to it, please, Emily." "Of course, Mrs. Dalton," the saleswoman smiled, "If you don't take my models just as they come, I can't give you such advantageous prices. As it stands the model is $l6O, but with a different waistcoat, I'll have to charge you $175." "Wait till we're through ordering and then make us the Nfct price you can," replied Virginia suavely. "Now I want my sister to see the black paulette embroidered in blue beads that I ordered in sage green yester day for Miss Harrison. And please have Clarice wear the blue poppy turban with it." • "But, Virginia," I protested when the ■ saleswoman went to see to the paulette, "I can't possibly afford more than the suit. Anyway, would Phoebe like it if 1 ordered the same model she's having?" "Phoebe's is green embroidered in red; very different. So that's all right. But is the little 'miser' speak ing?" asked Virginia, smiling so kindly that the sting went out of her words. "Don't fear, Jim will ! call a halt if you go too far. His suits cost ninety apiece if they cost i a cent, and I've seen him in four this past forenight. You asked me to steer the ship; remember that." "Jim has to look prosperous, being around so much with men like Lane Cosby," I protested with a last flare of conservatism. "And you'll have to look prosper ous to be around so much with wo men like Val Cosby." "All right," I said grimly, "what do I need to stand the contrast?" The next thing I knew I was ordering the black paulette and a fine tan tricot dress with cape to match. "Now a blue parasol for the pau lette," ordered Virginia. "The pop py turban's very good. I'd like my sister to try a brown Spanish sailor for the tan costume and a black poke with paradise for the dinner dress." "Paradise!" I whispered to Vir- Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service - ByMcManus I |( OH:XES-YOURE A 1 ■■[ BY COLLY! I>OMETIME-b HERE! DOKT <0 OUT.' MR PEt)T!

When we had tried and ordered all the things Virginia had sug gested, Miss Emily fitted down over my head a little turban of henna colored Batavie, casting a critical eye over my blue serge as she did so, and remarking: "You really mustn't go without this. It brings out the lights in your hair beauti fully, and it dresses up the little frock you're wearing." "She's lovely in that. You're a genius, Emily. Now be a dear and make a reasonable price," said Vir ginia. Miss Emily took up pencil and paper and did some impressive fig uring. Then she looked up with the air of one conveying a great favor.

Samuel Leighton regarded the young man curiously. "That is an odd thing to ask, Smith," he commented. "You want your employers to promise that they will not mention to anyone the fact that you have been in the service. Arc you ashamed of it?" The blood rushed to David's face: "No, sir—l am not!" ho declared. "I am also aware that my request sounds strange. If you think it was impertinent, I apologize. Yet 1 can not withdraw it." There was a questioning quality in Samuel Leighton's gaze. In the excitement of the moment, David DeLaine had again spoken as man to man—not as an underling to his superior. Leighton's expression warned the young man that he was treading on thin ice. He averted his eyes and spoke in a lower tone. "My appeal may seem foolish to you, sir. But I have my own rea sons for not wishing it to be known that I have been on the other side." "You would prefer having people gaze at you and consider you a slacker?" his companion challenged. "I know I am not. That is enough. It is nobody's business but mine— and the Government's. And people ask ex-soldiers awkward questions— about their health—and all," he added as an afterthought. But it was that afterthought that saved the day for him. Samuel Leighton's face cleared. He Thinks He Sees "Oh, I understand now," he said. "You have the hitherto healthy young man's natural dread of being considered an invalid. If people know you have been overseas, they will inquire why you are back—and you will have to admit that you have been ill. Well, since you feel like that, I don't blame you—and I will have to consent to make the promise you ask." "And," eagerly, "you will ask Miss Leighton to do the same?" "That is a matter for me to de cide," was the cold reply, and David knew that he had once again over stepped the line of obsequious re- DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS A SIMPLE, PRETTY FROCK 2529—Net over organdie, or dimity, organdie, batiste, lawn, crepe, wash able silk, foulard and charmeuse, voile and marquisette; all these are nice for this style.

"I beg your pardon," he muttered, j This was the second time that he i had apologized within the past three j minutes. It was not like David Dei to do this—yet since he had j started out upon this adventure he must see it through. Just now he could not afford to disdain a chance to earn his living. Moreover, his sporting blood was aroused. He wished he had the nerve' to inquire the Christian name of his young mistress. But, of course, he would learn it before long. Some one must use her name in his pres ence. He noticed to-night that her father had called her "Daughter," and that only. He roused himself with a start from his musings, aware that Mr. Leighton had not replied to his apol ogy. He met the eyes of the older man fixed upon him. He did not flinch or glance away, and the two' men stood regarding each other fix edly for a moment Something in the open, direct gaze of the blue eyes reassured Samuel Leighton, and he nodded, as if sat isfied. "That's all right," he said. "You may go now. Smith. But no, wait an instant. You ask me not to tell any one you have been in the service. I have agreed to this. I will ask Miss Leighton to do the same. But, of course, if either of us is questioned about you, we must speak the truth." "You would hardly be questioned," David asserted. "I am not so sure of that. It would be quite natural fob one to ask why, in this day, a well set-up young man is driving a private car instead of"— He paused. Leighton Objects "Instead of an ambulance," David supplied. ."But surely nobody would be likely to question a gentleman about a common chauffeur." "But, Smith, you are not a com mon chauffeur!" the words escaped Leighton involuntarily. Before he could retract them the man to whom they were addressed lifted his head proudly and his eyes flashed. "Excuse me, sir, that is just what I am—that and that only! And— forgive me if I say it—unless I am that I have no business in your employ. You have been most con siderate, but I feel that I should take another place unless matters can be agreed upon between us just now." The De Laine blood was roused. Suddenly David felt that ho would throw over the whole enterprise sooner than be questioned and sus pected and interfered with as to his private affairs. He was perfectly willing to take orders about his work. That was legitimate. His private life was his own. "Perhaps," he added, "you would prefer that I look for another place?" "Not at all, not at all!" Samuel Leighton assured him. He found himself all at once very averse to letting this independent young man leave his emp'oy. Yet he had a vague idea that he ought to be angry with him. "You see, sir," David went on more calmly, "I am here to drive your cars and obey your orders about them. In other words, I am a machine to perform the services for which you engaged me. But be yond that I am nothing to you—so long, of course," with a slight twinkle in the blue eyes—"as I am a decent chap—and I hope I am that. At all events you will know whether I am or not when you get my ref erences." If Leighton had had any anger toward his employe, this last speech dissipated it, for he laughed aloud. "That's all right, Smith! We've talked a long time over -What really amounts to very little. I fancy we'll get along all right. In fact 1 Today's Beauty Hint It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is en tirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be en joyed at very little expense, by dis solving a teaspoonful of canthrox, which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water*. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just to the top of the head. This, i hen rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so cre ated, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft flußiness that makes It seem very | heavy. have very little doubt of it. And now you may go. That's all I have to say. Goodnight!" "Goodnight, sir!" the new chauf feur said deferentially. (To lie Continued.) Advice to the Lovelorn HE HEARD SOME GOSSIP Dear Miss Faii'fax: My brother, now in France, but who expects to be home shortly, is in love with a young lady whom any one could be fond of. She is blond, tall and handsome, and has an agreeable disposition. The other day 1 heard several women talking about my brother's fiancee, saying at one time she knew well a man who had been arrested several times, sued for breach of promise, etc. My brother knows nothing about the above, as his sweetheart has never mentioned this to him, and he shall never know through me, but as I discovered this in a peculiar manner, I am afraid he may find it out after he is married, and trouble will ensue. Why do you suppose she kept this a secret? J. J. K. I think it is a pretty strict sort of accounting to hold a girl respon sible for the conduct of a man with whom she was once friendly, and perhaps she may not have known of his shortcomings at that time. You might tell her of the gossip you in advertently heard, and see what she has to say about it. She is quite like ly to resent it, however, and the role of social adjuster is never a very grateful one.

Since that time I have gone out with girls and their sweethearts, not meaning a particle of harm by it, but some one always tells my mother and never mentions there was a girl in the party.
