"IF/ien a Girl " By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCXXXIX NOopyrighL 1919. King Feature syndicate, Inc.) dare you ask Phoebe to re ceive with you at your engagement tea? Don't you know she was en gaged to Neal only a few months ago and that they still love each other? Is there nothing at which your cruelty and selfishness will stop? You shan't humiliate her by forcing her to come to your triumph in that hideous shade of gray Vuit will spoil all her sweetness. I can see that you are counting on Neal's chivalry to carry him through his marriage to you, but don't goad me too far or I'll" — i?his was what I wanted to say no Ewy when she showed me the hideous shade of gTay in which she proposed to deck Phoebe and march Aer to Miss Evelyn Mason's triumph. But I didn't utter a syllable of fcL "What good would it have done to throw down the gauntlet like that? For if I had, Ewy would probably have maneuvered Neal mto a position where his boyish *ishness and chivalry might have caused him to elope with her to morrow. After a minute spent in conquer ing my longing for the satisfaction of speaking out, I said this in stead: "Silver gray—that might do for me. Well, I haven't time to stand discussing color effects. I have a luncheon engagement and must run along." "A luncheon engagement?" purred Ewy huskily. "Oh, 1 wanted you to come with me! 1 thought we'd 'phone Neal and Jimmic —or Tom, if you prefer. Now don't try to persuade Madame to give you the gray and switch the orange to Val Cosby and the flesh to Phoebe. She takes her orders from me, and I hate the obvious. Later you'll see how clever I was in my choice of colors." "I don't question your clever ness," I replied, enjoying the force of my truthful reply. "See you Saturday at seven, Ewy. So long." Then I dashed off, thanking the kind fates that had inspired me to make a luncheon engagement with Virginia when I telephoned in my vain effort to speak to Phoebe sev eral hours before. For weeks I have been avoiding a tete-a-tete with Virginia. Ever since the day when I heard of the forming of the Dalton-Sturges Realty Corporation and Neal's con nection with it, I've been mentally sidestepping a discussion of it with Virginia. It would hurt her. It must. Besides, it would be the one bit of fuel needed to make her dis like of Neal leap into an active blaze. I wanted to keep it from Virginia. I didn't even want to get into a position where she might read incriminating knowl edge in my eyes. But now, as I set out eagerly for my appointment, I realized what a relief Virginia would he after my hour with Ewy. When I arrived at the smart restaurant Virginia had designated as our meeting place, I found her already there. No (.

"I was in that run down condition that comes to almost every one at this time of the year. "I was bothered with gas and bloating, which showed my diges tion was impaired and my liver sluggish. I noticed an eruption ap pearing on my skin which I feared was eczema. My nerves were get ling on edge because of my condi tion. I always believed in the old saying that 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,' and I have always taken something to cleanse my system in the spring. "Who would think of neglecting bouse cleaning any year, but how many neglect the cleansing and purifying of their bodies, which is the ~.ost important of all.

"But I like to be sure of my favor ite table on the Avenue side, so I came early. Being seen in the right places will help us back into the position in society that belongs to the Harrisons." As I followed Virginia to our well-chosen table by the window I reflected intolerantly that social position was all-important to Vir ginia, and in another minute I recognized how much she'd pay for it. For, as soon as we had ordered, she settled back in her chair and said complacently: "It was nice of Evelyn Mason to ask Phoebe to receive at her tea. I'd like the child to be a brides maid. It's such a smart way for the right people to get their first glimpse of a girl. And by the win ter I hope we'll bo in a position to launch her formally." "Virginia," I cried, startled into brusqueness, "surely you aren't going to let Ewy Mason twist you around her little finger like this!" Virginia's face paled, and she turned to me with the arrogance I had almost forgotten: "What do you mean, Anne? Sure ly not to be as —offensive as you sound?" "Oh, Jeanie, I'm sorry!" I apolo gized. "I didn't intend to be of fensive. Only to startle you awake. I'm sure Phoebe and Neal care for each other. And —even if Evelyn Mason forces Neal to go through with this marriage into which she trapped him, we don't have to let her hake her triumph complete by dragging rhocbe after her chariot wheels." "Very literary and melodra matie, Anne," smiled Virginia toler antly. "But I'm a practical person. Y'ou know I never approved of that boy and girl affair, and now that it's decently over, I don't see why Phoebe should be deprived of the social advantages of being one of Evelyn's attendants. I don't like the girl—you know that perfectly well. But she belongs to one of our old est families and all the smartest people will be on the invitation list." "But, Virginia," I protested at loss to comprehend her point of view, "don't you see how cruel it will be for Phoebe to see them to gether—and to let other people bo hold her mistery?" The smile Virginia turned to me came from another world—it said we spoke different languages. "Dear Anne try to understand. It will be good training for Phoebe to 'see them together,' as you put it. If she has any lingering nonsensical ideas about the boy, her pride will help her banish them at once. And she will gain In poise and in so cial ease. Don't look at me so pitifully, as if you thought me hard and cruel. I'm thinking of Phoebe's own good." Then I leaned hack in my chair and shot my. bolt. "Virginia, you won't go to that reception—nor let Phoebe when I tell you about Neal," I said grimly, inviting Virginia's everlasting dis like of my brother because this was the only weapon I had to use for Phoebe's defense. "He's in a sort of a partnership—with Pat Dalton and Carlotta Sturges. I suppose you had to know some time. But, oh, I hated to be the one to tell you —I hated to," I added breathlessly. "Now, will you ever look at me again?" To Be Continued WISDOM INJECTOR "You depend on the wisdom of the plain people." "Yes," replied Senator Sorghum; "but while the plain people out my way are getting their wisdom, I want to be on hand as much as possible, as their instructor." Washington Star. alcohol or narcotics, I did not hes itate to give it a trial. I took Nat onex with the utmost confidence. "I am on my third box now and therefore in a position to judge of the real merit of Natonex. I round it just what 1 needed. My digestion became good and my liver was re gulated. The eruption on my skin disappeared. Natonex is splendid for the nerves." "X have decided that Natoncx is the one system purifier and tonic for me in the future and I am sure this will bo the decision of all who are fortunate enough to learn about Natonex and its results." "A statement like that is worth a column of praise for an ordinary medicine," said the Natoncx repre sentative. "Miss Laity, who is train ed to judge well and carefully, tested Natonex fully and then de clared it is a pleasure to endorse such a medicine. For better diges tion, purer blood, real nerve vigor and bodily strength, nothing will equal the 12 famous Nature reme dies that arc combined in Natonex." •Mt Fnion—J. M. Mlnick New Cumberland—ll. S.

David recognized her as the girl with whom Desiree had entered the Red Cross rooms some days ago. But being merely a hireling, he showed no signs of recognition. Desire hailed her. "Oh, Helen!" she called. "Where are you going so fast?" Helen Goddard paused an instant to explain. "I'm late for an appointment with my dentist and am running to keep It." "Wait!" Desiree insisted, getting out of her car. "1 have to be at the florists for some minutes waiting to have some flowers put up. Let Smith drive you to your dentist's. Where is it?" "On East Forty-flrst street." "Then take my place and tell Smith where to go." "Oh, my dear, you are an angel!" Helen exclaimed, gladly accepting the invitation. "Good-bye!" As David and she started oft to gether, the girl cast a sidelong glance at the chauffeur. He certainly was good looking, she decided, noting the clear skin, steady eyes and regular features. Moreover there was an air of refinement about him. There was no use in telling her, she mused that Smith was just like any other chauffeur. There was some thing extraordinary about him. He whetted her curiosity. She wanted to make him say something. "Miss Leighton is most kind to send me to my dentist's," she re marked. "I had a little car of my own—but I have given it up for the period of the war. It costs a lot to run even a small car, don't you think?" Much Astonished "It does indeed," David agreed briefly and politely. His voice was well-mod.ulated. She did wish she could make him say something more. She never did see why a chauffeur must be treated like a serveanL Some of them—like this man, for Instance were decidedly above the standard of underhire lings. "I suppose," she ventured, "that if one knows how to run even a small car well, one could run a large one, couldn't she?" "I fancy," he replied, "that it may depend upon the make of the car. Yet if one understands thoroughly the mechanism of one automobile, it is a simple matter to learn to drive an other of a different make. All are op erated on the same general princi ples." She checked a gasp that threatened to be audible. Where under the sun did this man learn to talk like that? She remembered Cassidy, then she gazed at Smith. He had not even turned his eyes in her direction. The truth of the matter was that David was thinking again—the very thing, he reflected ruefully, that his young mistress had advised him not to do. And Desiree was the subject of his thoughts. Outwardly, he appeared calm. In wardly, his temper and sense of humor were warring with each other. He resented Miss Letghton's reprimands, at the same time re minding himself that they were part of the game he was playing, and that it wes, after all, a very fun ny game. For the time he had for gotten that he must assume the language of Cassidy and Cassidy's kind, and answered Miss Goddard in his accustomed speech. "Per haps," Helen ventured, "if I decide later to buy another car, you will let mo ask you a few questions about running it." "I shall be most happy to be of service," David assured her. A sudden impulse seized her. She would try to make some impression upon this self-contained young man. "You see." she went on, " I would not ask that of most chauffeurs in fact not of any others I have ever known. Some of them are very ig norant. But you are not the type of the usual chauffeur." This remark had the desired ef fect. Smith started nervously and his face changed. A Hit of Sentiment "I beg your pardon," he corrected her gravely. "I am only a very or dinary chauffeur." She laughed aloud as if pleased at the impression produced by her speech. "You will at least allow me to have my own private opinion," she said archly. "Surely, Miss. Every lady has a right to her own opinions," Smith re plied without a smile. Helen Goddard was no fool, and she saw this man assume his ac quired manner as plainly as if it had been a garment he had put on. She heard the change in his voice as he tried to speak as he fancied a man in his position should speak to the friends of his employer. Her romantic nature was stirred. This savored a bit of sentimental ad venture—the kind she had always longed for. Perhaps Smith had had some sorrow or some disgrace in his life and was trying to live it down by taking the place of a chauffeur. X'oor fellow! If this was true it was hard on him. She would be very kind to him and not let him fancy that, if she suspected the truth, she disapproved of him or doubted him. HAHIUSBTTRG TEI.EGR'APB And she certainly would not voice her suspicions to Desiree. It would not be fair, if the chap was trying to lead a decent straight life, she would not intimate that he had ever done anything else. Perhaps drink had been his un doing, and now he was paying the penalty of his errors. She nad once heard of a man who tried to break himself of the liquor habit by taking a position in which to drink would have meant his discharge and dis grace. Such men were to be pitied, | not blamed. (To Bo Continued.) Unveil Tablets in Memory of Roosevelt Drndnood, S.

All the ma terial was second-hand, the automo biles having been used on the Italian front. The importation re strictions and the scarcity of ma terial is the cause attributed for the high prices.
