"Evvy's gone!" gasped Neil. For
a minute he stood staring down the
road where Evvy's blue car had dis
appeared in a scornful swirl of dust.
Then he jerked around to the tea
tray, where a ring lay looking small
and deserted amid the contrasting
largeness of cups and saucers and
glasses.
Jim's eyes• were fixed on Neal
with ,a queer expression—at once
quizzical and demanding, as if he
were measuring Neal and trying to
force him to measure up.
In their long first period of mis
understanding I had stood between
my two boys and tried to interpret
them to each other. Now 1 had to
let them alone, to permit them to
work out their own estimates of
each other,
Neal looked up suddenly and met
Jim's gaze. He stared at him with
> the same look of probing Jim was
fixing on him. Then, as if the
words were wrenched from him,
Neal exclaimed aggressively:
"If you've hurt Babbsie again,
Jim—if your being here like this
means any unhappiness for my
sister —you sha'n't get away with
it. I promise you that!"
Jim actually grinned. He ad
vanced with quick stride, grabbed
Neal's astonished hand and began
pumping it up and down.
"You're all right, youngster!" he
cried. "Some brother—some sport!
If you're worried about Anne, turn
, and take a slant at her. Does she
loog as if I'd hurt her—as if she
doubted me?"
Neal—his hand still gripped by
• Jim's—turned, almost incredulous
ly:
• "It doesn't feaze you—finding
Jim here like this—with her?" he
said jerkily, avoiding Evvy's name.
I gathered myself to meet Jim's
every expectation as I replied:
"It's Evvy who seems to have
been feazed. She's said—and made
it clear, too—that she doesn't want
to see any of us again—ever. She:
didn'try try to saveyour pride, Neal.
She didn't seem to have much of
her own to save."
, "We'ce all been dismissed —(o-
--• gether," said Jim dryly. "Shall we
clear out, Anne? Will you drive us
back to town?"
Then, too boldly, I feared, he
picked up the discarded ring and
stood studying it.
"Neal. old chap, what Evvy Ma- j
Lift off Corns!
Doesn't hurt a bit and Freezone
, costs only a few cents.
■
With,your fingers! You can lift oft
any hard corn, soft corn, or corn
* between the toes, and the hard skin !
callouses from bottom of feet.
A tiny bottle of "Freezone" costs j
little at any drug store; apply a few
drops upon the corn or callous. In
stantly it stops hurting, then short
ly you lift that bothersome corn or
callous right off, root and all, with
out one bit of pain or soreness.
Truly!' No humbug!

MONDAY EVENING,
son thinks of us is pretty clear from
what she said to use when she got
through with us. And she's through,
all right. But I'll bet we never do
much talking on that score. I'm
: darn glad Evvy has marched her
■ self out of our lives. Shall we be
• starting along?"
He hold out the ring as he spoke.
But Neal, his face matching his
! hair, stammered:
"Would you just give it to Babbs
to keep for me?"
1 took the ring ana slipped it into
the inner compartment of my bag.
' That made two diamond rings I had
' received from Neal in one after;
noon. But 1 was pretty sure that
one of these rings was only mine in
1 trust.
"Say, Anne, do you want to drive
, us over to the old Harrison place
before we go home?" Jim asked as
we made ready to leave after giv
ing, by tacit consent, a decent
margin of time for Evvy to come
back and establish whatever rela
tions she wished with us.
1 noticed a glint in Neal's eyes
when Jim said that. And as we
roamed over the tangled but lovely
old grounds together a few min
utes later Neal drew Jim aside and
murmured a few sentences to him.
They seemed to re-establish from
Neal's angle the same cordial rela
tions which Jim had shown every
j evidence of feeling from the mo
| ment Neal had cried out his anx
i iety for my happiness.
We spent so much time on the
Harrison place that 7 o'clock caught |
us unawares and hungry and we had
|to stop at an inn for dinner. Mas-
I culino poise and calmness stood us
| in such good stead that we ate in
good-natured commonplace fellow
ship, as if nothing unusual hud
happened. And we motored Neal
home and bade him good-night on
the same unstressed note.
"See you for dinner to-morrow,"
announced Jim as parting, and Neal
agreed.
Jim's first words when we were
once alone in our own apartment
, were pitched in a far different key,
I however.
I "Anne," he cried, seizing my
| shoulders in firm hands and liold
j ing me off at arms length. "Have
you stopped caring for me?"
"Have I stopped caring?" I began
I already to protest, and then the
j quizzled gleam that had come again
[ to Jim's eyes arrested my attention
j and made me change my tune and j
j tone. "Of course. Sir James, it
would flatter your masculine vanity
J for me to swoop down on you with
| a query as to what you were doing
| alone with that woman. But I re
main calm. Is it a disappointing
i calm. Sir James?"
" 'Tis —and 'taint!" laughed Jim. |
i "But, of course, if you haven't the
• least curiosity I won't bore you with
I my story."
j "Oh, Jim!" burst from me in d
tone of complete betrayal.
And then Jim told me—part of
J it —as much as a man who isn't a
I cad could tell. I filled in the rest.
I "I've been making money—fist
fuls, Lilac Lady. And I thought
J the old Harrison place ought too
come back to us. I've had Neal on 1
the trail of the present .owners and j
their price. Thought it would lie
easy for him to get his linger on |

pany. But it isn't listed with them, :
i and he can't pussy-foot a bit of j
, knowledge for me. Well, to-day
! 1 went 'out there by train to take !
a look. And as I was hoofing it j
from the station, where the one j
hack and half a taxi were work- j
j ing for other folks when I wanted j
i them, I met Evvy."
"And went to Mason Towers with
I her in pursuit of the policy you've
! been following for weeks," I haz- '
j arded in a breathless rush. "You've |
I been trying to make her realize
j that she couldn't go through with |
it and marry Neal—just to spite i
Phoebe and you and me and to be |
revenged on you for jiltjng her—by I

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SHALL SIIE CITRIi lIER HAIR?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
It's a rather peculiar question
which I want you to settle, but after
careful reflection, I have decided
that you can answer it best. Is it
wicked and worldly to curl one's
hair? My mother says it is false
vanity which prompts me to do it.
1 haven't much hair, and if not
curled, it hangs in stringe and never
looks nice. 1 surely do not want
to be wicked and am too young to
be worldly. VEGA.
My dear girl, if you never do any
thing worse than curl your hair you
will be a very saintly young person.
I suppose your mother does not like
the idea of a girl's improving her*
] appearance by anything that is not
j absolutely natural. But a little
innocent hair curling hardly comes
under this head; try to persuade her
to let you arrange your hair be
comingly.
THIRTY YEARS ODDER
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I lam seventeen, attend High School.
While riding in the subway recently
I was given a seat by a gentleman
who started a conversation with me.
We have become firm friends,
friendship has ripened into love and
he has since given me a very valuable
diamond ring. My friends, however,
disapprove of him as he is thirty
years my senior. As I am alone in
the world, with no relative to guide
| me, I should appreciate your advice
,in the matter. Do you think he is
I sincere? G. B.
j The difference you mention in your
ages is so great as to make the idea
lof happiness extremely risky. I
j should not be too eager to marry this
l middle-aged man who has given you
| the very valuable diamond ring and
j I should be guided by the advice of
i my friends in receiving attention from
i him. You should proceed very
j cautiously in t.iis affair.

LITTLE TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX
We all know the type of woman
whose social stock in trade is her |
disdain for her own sex.
"AH my friends are men," is the
formula she uses. "Wdmen don't in
terest me." Her dearest ambition is
to be known as a "man's woman."
She has pitying contempt for those
of her sisters who accept other
women as friends.
From her point of view, the mere |
recognition of a woman friend s aj
confession of failure. It's accept- .
ing a substitute for the man you .
didn't succeed in attracting.
This perverse human being is not. i
of course, to be confounded for a
moment with the woman who is call- .
ed "mannish," the woman who is |
happiest in a business life; who 1
makes a point of w'earing tailor l
clothes on all occasions and who |
honestly scorns all feminine frip- I
peries.
On the contrary, the "man's j
woman" clings to all the traditional '
vanities. Nobody's heels are as high j
as hers, nobody's hats are as studied- '
Ily seductive. Her clothes alone. ]
I however, would not disinguish her. ;
It's her manner that sets her apart, i
Upon the broad highways of the
world, in the houses of well-mean- ; ;
ing people, it is not possible to avoid
other women. But it is quite pos
sible to be uncivil to them, to drag <
out merely a reluctant monosyllable
in response to another woman's
friendly greeting, to become gloom- i
Uy absorbed in a book if there are
only women in the room, to present •
drooping eyelids and a long-suffer
ing mouth until at last a man's voice
is heard outside the door. And that <
is of course like the sound of a i
clarion. It's the signal for complete i
transformation.
Her Own Ideas
In an instant the bored, silent, ]
creature is all animation and chatter,
For it doesn't make the slightest i
difference who the man is. On the !
mere ground of his masculinity he is
worth talking to and smiling on; he I
alone justifies her in being as charm- !
ing and agreeable as she can.
Such a woman as this has to have, i
of course, a pretty strong belief in | i
her own attractiveness. She believes i
also that she recommends helself I t
further to men by keeping aloof from ! 1
women, that this makes her a strik- I i
ing and interesting figure. She j ;
thinks it helps her in forming a sort 1 i
of tacit conspiracy with the whole j I
male sex, a conspiracy whose object' 1
is the suppression of other women. |
"You've heard a good deal about
the weakness and pettiness of!
women," is what she practically says!
to men. "I assure you it's all true. '
And it bores me quite as much as it I
can bore you. You see, I'm not that |
commonplace sort of woman. I'm a ,
woman who really understands men. '
So come and talk to me about any- I
thing you like and I'll listen to you :
and flatter you as long as you can j
stand it."
But of course it is a pose, and a I
pose of the most extravagant sort. I
A woman who poses to this extent I
really can't have any legitimate j
occupation. Living up to the charc
ter she has invehted for herself ab- !
sorbs all her time and energy. You !
may be sure that she works at it '
diligently seven days a week. You ;
never find her off her guard.
It seems an absurd and pitiful!
procedure. And yet there is always [
a chance that some young girl with j
a dramatic sense may seize upon
this pose with the impulse to imitate !
it. Before that happens I wish she ]
would let me tell her what it all 1
amounts to .
Companionship with men is an ex- i
cellent, wholesome thing for any j
woman, if it comes about spontane
ously, naturally. But friendship, If
it can be called friendship, that's]
obtained by seizure, so to speak, and (
that's combined with a treacherous '
attitude toward all other women, is l
by no means worth having.
If a woman sacrifices everything
else in order to make herself amus- i
ing and entertaining and sympa- j
to men, I admit that men will '
allow themselves to be amused and '
entertained and sympathized with. !
They won't run away. But they j
won't be deceived for a moment. 1
They can't help understanding the j
tactics of the "man's woman," for J
these are so obviously displayed, j
And in their hearts they secretly ;
despise her for not being true and ,
loyal and square.
M lutf Site I. owe*
So that companionship with people j
who despise you, who think you are I
false and unreal, is hardly a thing
to give up your life to, even if super- j
flcially it does seem to place you in a !
temporary social spotlight even if it j
docs help you to seem different and ;
mysterious and dramatically effec- |
tive. A pretty poor' thing, on the!
whole, for a girl to strive for.
But this is not the whole story. I

.
A woman who pretends she is not |
like other women, who refuses to!
share the everyday life of other!
women, who hasn't any conception '
of "sex solidarity"—that popular
phrase which simply means an all
round loyalty to other women a
woman of that sort misses one of
the most precious things that pres
ent-day women can possibly know.
This regarding other women merely
as competitors iii a lifelong game of
entrapping men is happily very much
out of key with the life of to-day.
Women who can think at all think
i of other women as fellow-hearers in
a wonderful new life of opportunity
that's growing wider every day.
1 And they're very much on their met
tle to show what women can do with \
their opportunity. They're immense
ly eager to be the best possible kind
of mothers and educators and work
ers and citizens.
It's a thrilling thing, this being
friends with all other women, thisi
standing solidly together for the first I
time in history. And girls who are j
just growing into womanhood are I
going to 'get a great deal more joy I
and meaning out of life if they think j
and talk and laugh and vote with j
other women than if they drop out j
of line and pretend they are some- 1
thing that never existed, a "man's ;
woman"—an enemy to women whom j
nevertheless all men admire.
The woman of the near future !
won't ever boast of being a "man's i
woman." Nor will she be content i
with being a "woman's woman," eith- '
er. She will want her list of friends j
to include plenty of both women and
men.
Too enlightened to be either a
drudge or a "vamp," too self-respect- j
ing to regard other women as 1
"rivals" or men as "conquests," she's
simply going to be a warmhearted,
helpful comrade to other human be
ings.
TABLE DELICACIES
A young man who sat next to a !
demure young lady at the supper
table found himself at a loss for
words. Suddenly he thought of pic- j
ture theaters. "Are you fond of
films?" he asked. "As a general j
thing, yes," she answered prettily; |
and before he could follow up the :
subject, she added hastily, "but not I
to-night, thank you—it is rather I
late. A little jelly will lie sufficient!" [
