" When a Girl Marries"

Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCXLIX.
Copyright, 19X9, King Features Syn
dicate, Inc.
A more ill-assorted party than
one composed by Valerie Cosby, Car
lotta Sturges, Tom Mason, Anthony
Norreys and me 1 can't imagine.
And yet when Val and Tom stood at
our table out at the Inn by the
river and asked to have coffee with
us I had to do my share to call
that party into being. An Introduc
tion or two and invitation were all
that was needed to bring on the
deluge, but I couldn't refuse them.
Val sat down, studying Carlotta's
over-vivid personality and make-up
with suave insolence, which Car
lotta breezily ignored. Smooth
jowled, lazy-eyed, luxurious Tom
and gaunt Tony, with his keen
ice-blue eyes were as startling in
their contrasts as were the two
women. I expected to see sparks
fly, and I wondered whose feelings
would prove inflammable. While I
was rummaging in my mind for
some nice, safe topic to introduce,
Val's most indolent tones rolled
out: "I wondered how you were
amusing yourself to-night, Anne,
while our lords and masters are
hard at work. I invited your little
sister-in-law-to-be to dinner, but
tonsilitis patients don't convalesce
easily. This nice man went to call
for his cousin Evvy and bring her
to me. and when she couldn't come
he took pity on my loneliness. I
beg your pardon," she added with
Fragrant
Instantaneous Coffee
Made By a New and Exclusive
Process
The nearer to the boiling point you
bring your water when making cof
fee, the greater amount of oils and
other properties are lost. But Hires
Instant Soluble Coffee is made at a
low temperature; hence all the
strength and aromatic flavor are re
tained.
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is the
dried, pure juice of the most careful
lv selected coffee beans of Java and
Mocha blend. By adding hot water ix
instantly dissolves, and you have cof
fee as originally made, and if you
prefer your coffee iced you can have
it. for Hires Instant Soluble Coffee
dissolves instantly in ice water.
Think of the convenience of mak
ing coffee by merely putting a part of
a teaspoonful of coffee in a cup, and
adding water! It means no bother,
no coffee pot to scald, no grounds to
empty, no throwing away of two or
three cups that are generally left
over. You don't throw away more cof
fee than you drink!
Serving Hires Instant Soluble Cof
fee means having coffee whenever you
want —at any hour of the day or
night. And you make it strong or
weak, according to your own indi
vidual taste.
A small can of Hires Instant Soluble
Coffee is equivalent to a pound of the
best Mocha and Java coffee. The low
price is due to the fact that with our
exclusive process we extract 100 per
cent, more juice from the bean than
you can in making coffee in the old
way. Get it at all stores.

elaborate carelessness turning to
Carlotta, "I suppose Anne's Can
teen friends don't know her social
world. 1 didn't mean to bore you."
"You couldn't. I'm interested in
everyone," replied Carlotta, brush
ing Val's dart aside without seem
ing to notice the prick. Then she
turned to Tom. "It isn't customary,
to congratulate the bride's folks,
but the girl who gets my young
partner marries a prince."
"Oh, you're in business with Mrs.
Harrison's family," said Val smil
ing, as if that explained the pres
ence of this alien creature.
"You haven't accounted for me
as yet. Mrs. Cosby," said Tony chal
lengingly.
If a woman had made this re
mark it might have been catty.
Coming from Tony at this stage of
the game 1 knew it was meant
only to save Carlotta from the in
sults she was either big enough to
ignore or too big to get. Val
flicked her amber eyes across
Tony's face and held them to his
for a moment. Then she turned
her head and looked mockingly at
me before she replied:
"Are you easily accounted for?"
Val's such a child impetuous,
hot-blooded, self-willed under that
Japanese lacquer of hers—don't let
that Englishman of yours twist her
around his finger," muttered Tom
close to my ear.
I wanted to burst out laughing.
So this was the mental picture of
herself with which Val was fur
nishing the evidently infatuated
Tom. Why? After the first, normal,
human pang of chagrin at the way
she had effaced me from his con
sciousness, I had a sudden feeling
of gratitude toward Val for step
ping in between me and the always
unwelcome attentions of Tom
Mason. The egotism with which he
displayed his change of feelings
was in taste as bad as the impu
dence with which he had showed
h's previous feelings.
But what did Val want of Tom ?
Did she like him? Was she consol
ing herself with him for Jim's loss
of interest? Was she simply the
sort of woman who must have a
masculine satellite or two? Or had
she a deeper motive in cultivating
Tom Mason?
Val's motives didn't reveal them
selves clearly. There were mo
ments when I felt that even she
didn't know exactly what kind of
a game she was playing, or that
perhaps it was complicated for her
by wearing desires.
"Why don't you all come down
to my place and have a little
bridge?" she suggested suddenly.
"Anne wants to learn and this is a
wonderful time, for we'd both have
to sit up long, lonely hours for our
hubbies if our good friends didn't
entertain us. You play—don't you,
Miss-er Sturgeon?"
There was calculated insolence
In the way she turned to Carlotta
Sturges and mispronounced her
name.
"I'm taking my two little Can
teen workers home and admonish
ing them to run along to bed when
they get there," said Tony, break
ing in almost sternly.
I was sure be disliked Val as
much as he liked Carlotta. Some
how it gave me a queer feeling of
satisfaction.
"All right, Mister Tyrant." re
plied Val. smiling out of narrowed
eyes. "But would you give us a
lift homeward bound, too? We
taxied out, and I've seen the Nor
rey's limousine. So you can under
stand why luxury-loving Val begs
a ride."
Tony acquisced gracefully, but

Tom's face had gone an awkward
red at Val's first words and it
hadn't faded up to the time we
dropped him next in rotation after
taking Carlotta home.
At the door, Valerie, the unchast
ened, turned to Tony warmly in
spite of the remote and elaborate
courtesy with which he treated her,
and murmured in her creamiest
tones:
"You can't think how grateful I
am for this rescue, and for the
chance to Know Anthony Norreys."
As she spoke, two questions
flashed across my mind:
Why was she so anxious to es
tablish an entente cordiale with the
evidently indifferent and disap
proving Tony?

THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XXXXI
Copyright, 1919, Star Company.
Samuel Leighton met his daughter
as she reached the head of the stairs
leading to the upper floor.
"I was looking for you, dear," he
remarked. "I wanted to give Smith
his orders for tomorrow. Shall you
want him?"
"I do not know," she said. "But
if I do, I can telephone him in the
morning. I saw him just as he was
driving off. By the way, I fancy this
paper belongs to you. It fell from
le car. You must have dropped it
as you got out.
She held toward him the folded
paper. In the. bright light of the
hall she noticed what she had not oo
served before—that the double sheet
was Of a vivid shade of pink—the
last kind of paper that a man would
use. It was folded across three
times and turned down at all four j
corners.
She laughed. "After all, I do not
believe you ever owned this," she
commented.
"I should hope not!" her father
declared with a glance at it. "It
ie either yours—or Smith's."
"It is not Smith's—for he handed
it to me," Desiree said. "And I as
sure you I was never guilty of such
noisy stationery as this."
"It is getting late, my dear; if
you are going to have a little rest
before dressing for dinner, you
would better trot along and lie down
for a while,' her father suggested
as he moved on toward his room.
Desiree went into her own apart
ment, the folded paper still in her
hand. She tossed it upon her desk
in passing, meaning to look at it
later. Her only idea now was to rest
after her long walk, then dress for
dinner.
The Note Forgotten
Norah entered to ask if there were
anything she could do for her young
mistress. On being answered in the
negative, she went back to the dining
room to finish setting the table. She
had not noticed her own note on
Deslree's desk. She supposed that
by now it was in the chauffeur's
hands.
In her long walk this afternoon,
Desiree had thought about her own
actions of this morning and decided
that she had made too much of the
seeming friendliness between her
maid and her chauffeur. In spite of
appearance, they were probably the
most casual of acquaintances. It
would be a mistake to take any
further notice of Norah's evident ad
mit ation for a good-looking man.
The girl was silly, that was all.
Unless Smith had encouraged her,
Norah would not expect further at
tentions from him —and, upon sober
reflecton, Desiree was sure that Smith
was not the type of man to encour
age a girl of Norah's stamp.
Norah waited at the table more
quickly and deftly than usual that
night. When the meal was ended,
she addressed her mistress.
"Please, ma'am," she ventured,
"might I go out for a while this
evening?"
Desiree was an Indulgent employ
er and did not insist that her maids
remain indoors when there was no
reason why they should do so.
"Certainly, Norah," she replied,
kindly. "You may go as soon as you
finish your work."
"Thank, you, ma'am." Then, tim
idly—"Annie says she'll finish up my
work for me if I don't get it done in
time. I was thinkin' I'd like to see
a movie that's being given down
town."
"Very well—if Annie's willing to
do your work, that's all right. Y'ou
can settle that between yourselves,"
Desiree remarked, as she turned
away.
An Eager Question
In the kitchen, Annie greeted
Norah eagerly. "What time are we
going to the movies" she asked.
"Oh, you and me aren't goin' to
night," Norah evaded. "In the let
ter that I wrote to Smith I only asked
him to let me know some other night
when you could go with us. That's
up to him."
"But you said you was goin' with
him this evenin'," Annie insisted, her
face clouding with disappointment.
"And you as good as told me you'd
take me, too. I suppose I was goin."
"Well, you supposed wrong, my
dear," was the flippant response.
"And, besides that. Miss Leighton
says she wants you to stay in to
night. She don't want us both away
at one time. But you were a good
girl to get that note to Smith. I'll
see to it that he takes the two of
us somewhere soon."
Then, as the cook entered the
kitchen, Norah subsided into silence.
The cook was a middle-aged woman
and had scant patience with the "go
ings-on" of young girls.
Mr. Leighton and his daughter had
callers that evening. It was after 11
o'clock when Desiree went to her
room for the night.
She was almost ready for bed when
her eyes fell upon the sheet of pink
paper still lying on her desk, where
she had tossed It some hours ago.
"1 forgot to look at the thing!"
she muttered, unfolding it.
It had no address on it, and the
writing was that one not accus
tomed to the use Jot the pen.
"I did- not get a' chance to tell you
until now," Desiree read, "that I
think it would be nice if you was to
take me to the movies to-night. I
i guess you'd better not come here for
me. I'll be waiting at the corner of
Fifty-ninth street and Lexington
avenue as soon after 8 as I can get
my work done up. Wait for me, and
I will explain all to you. I was go
ing to talk to you a while this morn
ing, but 1 heard her coming down.
Your friend, Norah."
Norah! She must have dropped this
letter and Smith had picked it up.
But no —Desiree had seen it fall from
the car, and Smith had handed it to
her. How did he come by it?

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Shall She Forgive Deceit?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twenty gnd have known
and gone with a young man of
tweney-one for over a year. He
has been very attentive to me, and
a week after meeting me he told
me that he loved me. At first 1 did
not feel as if I cared for him, but
as time advanced I have grown to
like him more and more until now
I love him dearly. Of late he has
been acting very strangely. He has
broken a few engagements with me
and afterward has tried to make
up with me. A few days ago he
told me that he was going to a dis
tant city, and I now learn he was
falsely speaking—that he has been
in this city all along. His actions
have puzzled me greatly. I would
like your advice on this subject. I
do not feel I can forgive him for
all these little misunderstandings.
HEARTBROKEN. ,
"Misunderstandings" is, I think, a
very gentle term to use. I do not
think you should go on condoning
man's incivility and de
ceit. You should really either drop
the acquaintance without explana
tion, or give him another chance
by attempting to have a really
frank talk with him with the idea
of discovering whether there can
possibly be any legitimate excuse
for his actions.
"STUPID LOOKING" BUT GENER
OUS
Dear Miss Fairfax:
A young man in my place of busi
ness has often asked me to go out
with him. He is very stupid look
ing, but is good to me, and would
give me anything I asked for. I am
ashamed to go out with him as my
friends might se me and criticize
me. I am considered good looking
and can go with attractive men,
which causes my friends to envy me.
I do not wish to say anything rude
or displeasing to him, as I should
like to keep his acquaintance.
ANXIOUS.
I am glad you realize how dis
honorable it is for a girl to allow a
young man to give her presents and
take her to places of amusement
i when she has no interest in him.
It will not be difficult for you to
thank the young man and tell him
kindly, but definitely, that you can't
go out with him.
" Dutch Treats"
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
, We are a crowd of girls aged
seventeen, and have practically
been brought up with boys, who are
very good friends of ours and who
are eighteen and nineteen years
old. Most of these boys go to col
lege and cannot afford to spend
much moqpy in order to take us out.
But we long to go out. and have
therefore thought of a Dutch treat

boys and girls is to play his or her
expenses. Will you please tell us
if there is any wrong in doing so

It seethe- To" me that you are
rather'young to go out unchaperon

are in pursuit of amusement that
involves expense. But if your par
ents have no objection to your go

one. It would in any case be much
more sensible for you girls to pay

is no reason why such a sugges

feelings. Ask them frankly wheth

it.
