" When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCLXV. (Copyright, 1919, King Features Syndicate Inc.) "I see by the papers," said Val Cosby, walking in on me unannounc ed a tew days after the startling events at Mason Towers, "that I Mama and Papa Mason announce | that the engagement of their daugh- I ter Evelyn to Mr. Xeal Hyland has j been dissolved by mutual consent — or words to that etfect." I looked up uneasily from the bas- I ket of Jim's socks I had brought | into the living-room to darn in the j bright, clear sunlight of the big | windows. Val's long amber eyes I were fixed on me with that unwink- j ing gaze of Iter's that seemed int- I ported from the Nile. This was our very first encounter since that mem- | arable night when Lane's story had | been poured out to me in agony. | And now —in marched an insouciant i Val, ready for a discussion of my j brother's broken engagement. I re plied wearily: "Oh! so it's in the papers. May I j see? "I brought it along in case your j conservative sheet had omitted it," \ replied Val, handing me a paper, ! foldfed to display the item. And as I 1 read' she sank lazily down on the couch to which I had neglected to invite her, and went on in her voice of cream. So now, of course, brother is free to go back to his first love." "Meaning?" I said with frozen dignity. "Little Phoebe Harrison," said Val smoothly. "Oh, don't start or pre pare an elaborate denial, Anne. Evvy., herself told me all about it the time she asked me to pour at the tea j that never came off. Rather byway j of boasting—or to prove to me how | ruthless she could be. She hinted as a bit —and then I got the rest out ' of her. I like spicy gossip. But I . really didn't approve of her methods and I had to tell her so Maybe I that's what turned her against me." | "You didn't approve of her meth ods?" I gasped, astounded at the I consummate impudence with which Val judged Evvy. "You didn't ap prove of her taking a man away from another woman if she could." I wanted to add: "And that wo man, well, sane, able to make some sort of fight for her own. While you stole Lane from an invalid— a poor insane creature!" But Val's indolent voice took on a note of j J"*"* * • " 11 " 1 1 j GIRLS! USE LEMONS FOR SUNBURN,TAN j f Try It! Make thl*lemon lotion t i to whiten your tanned or j I freckled skin.

"It's shameful for a woman to I take a man away from another who | loves him—who has everything to | give him. I told you once that I j took what was mine. Any woman j has a right to that—to the man j she loves. Love isn't to be denied." "You think love is the biggest | thing in the world?" I questioned, ! and then I gasped: "And yet you ] Hirt with every attractive man you I meet!" j "You are . frank?" aren't you, I Anne?" asked Val, eyeing me lazily, j "Well, I'll be frank, too—brutally j so. Lane's my man. 1 love him. i I couldn't see him tied to a living i corpse. So 1 went after him. Lor j etta wasn't sane. She was spoiling his life. He was mine—that's all." I faced her. There wasn't much | sympathy in my soul, so none could I have expressed itself through my I eyes. I wasn't sure that Val was i sincere in what she said. And even , if she was I am too much of a Puri- I tan to accept a doctrine that Love justified everything. Val's narrow Egyptian eyes almost closed as she sent back a gleaming gaze to baffle me. But some of the insolence had gone from her voice when she went on. She seemed almost to be beg ging me to understand her. "You can accept Evvy Masoq, who just for spite manoevred (| Neal away from little Phoebe, when the child loves him and he adores I her. You don't like Evvy, but you j think she's 'socially possible.' But I I, who took my own from a crea j ture whose mind is dead —I am a ' Parish to you, Anne Mason. You . think it's a tragedy for Lane to be tied to a woman like me don't you ?" j "Do you love him enough?" I j questioned, wondering inwardly all I the while who had appointed me to be the judge of Val Cosby. "Enough?" asked Val earnestly. "Enough for what?" "To make up to him for his own conscience—to make up to him for whatever the world chooses to say." "His conscience won't bother him when he sees I'm happy," Val re plied securely. "What threw my j big brown bear into a blue funk ! was how I'd take it if I found my self socially ostracised because a garbled version of the story got out. Of course, I wouldn't have liked that. What's the usg of all Lane's money if it doesn't land me in New port or Bar Harbor some day?" ' She sighed luxuriously at the mere mention of those two magic making places. And again I found myself questioning her sincerity, I wondering whether it was Lane or Lane's money she loved. "And now what reassures you?" I asked, probing mercilessly. Val laughed. Then she rose and stood swaying mockingly before me: "What makes me sure that I ' won't be boycotted?" she said slow j ly. 'Well, I know the Jimmie Har risons will stand by Lane. And I ! know Tom Mason will stand by me, i and handle Miss Evelyn if she isn't too busy explaining her second broken engagement to care to take !on any more trouble.

This closes the matter, doesn't it?" "Yes." yawned Val elaborately. "Now you quite understand that I'm as much in love with my Lane as you are with your Jim, and that my feelings are to be respected ac cordingly. And this brings" us back to where we started. "What are you going to do about those two proud young things who love each other and probably won't see the path back to each other un less some one points it out to them?" To Be Continued.

Copyright, 1919, Star Company The armistice had not been sign ed and they were still fighting. Those were the facts that im pressed Desiree Leighton with an overwhelming'force. Following as they did upon the exaltation of the afternoon, they depressed her to an extent that moved her father to compassion. "Dear child," he reminded her, "the false news has only preceded the truth by a few days. The armi stice will be signed very soon." "But until it is, our boys are still dying!" she moaned. "And other boys will be crossing. Those who have wanted to get into the fight before It is over will be more anx ious than ever to go." "Yes—but they can't" go until Uncle Sam lets them," her father smiled. "And he is not going to let them go when they are not needed." "We can't be sure that peace is in sight," Desiree insisted skepti cally. "There may t>fe another long, horrible winter ahead of us—with heart-breaking sorrows all the time." She did not tell her father that Smith's words of this afternoon echoed in her ears. It was plain that he had hoped to go back to France. He was looking much stronger than when she first saw him. His returning health had probably inspired him with -re newed hope. If the war kept up he would go. She shuddered slightly as she thought of this man's life in danger. She tried to explain this shrinking by the reflection that she would have felt the same about any nice American chap whom she had known. And, of course, Smith was an exceedingly nice fellow. "What are j-ou thinking about?" her father demanded, breaking a long silence. "That it is actual cruelty to raise people's hopes just to dash them," she replied. A Gentle Reproof. Her father frowned slightly, "See here, my dear," he, protested, "you are determined to look on the dark side of this subject. I am so sure that the armistice will be signed that I want you, here and now, to plan to have a celebration—a din ner or reception or something of that sort —on the evening of the day on which the good tidings come. Make out your list of guests now." Desiree laughed tremulously. "I wish I had your faith, father, dear," she remarked. "Make out your list," her father insisted. "Very well," she acquiesced, "only we may have to wait for many weeks before the happy event oc curs." "You will rvpt have to wait more than a week," Samuel Leighton pre dicted. "Come, get out your paper then call up your friends and teli them that you want them to keep for you the evening after the sign ing of the armistice." He was so confident that he im parted confidence to his daughter. Gradually her equanimity returned and she planned the little informal reception they would soon have "We cannot have any function Daily Dot Puzzle X^ 20 ' - 31 32 28* . ~L - 7 V^ 55 X 2s ' k.

"It is high time I was looking up a new waitress. I Will attend to it to morrow." The following morning Miss Leighton paid Norah and told her that she might take her departure as soon as she had finished her usual tasks. She herself would set about immediately securing the maid's successor. Ordering the limousine brought around, she drove downtown to an employment agency. Here she was informed that she would best wait for a while as some applicants might appear at any moment. Maids were scarce and difficult to secure just now. As Desiree waited, trying to be come interested in an old magazine she picked up from the office table, the thought of her amethyst pen dant suddenly thrust itself into her nund.

I have known this young man all my life. He is a sober, in dustrious young fellow, with three or four thousand dollars to his credit in the bank, and is very anxious to marry; as he is also an orphan with out a home. His salary is $45 per week. My friends all say I am very I foolish to let a good thing like this ! slip by. I have a number of young | men friends,, but none able to sup port a wife. In Washington, at the present time, is a young man who also wants to marry me, but Is no way able to support a wife. M. H. My dear girl, you seem to have wholly overlooked the fact that the most important thing in marriage is love and not prospects. If you are in love with the young mail who sounds so promising, by all means marry him, but don't think of it if you don't really love him. I make this sug gestion because your letter does not contain one word as to your feelings, only what these young men could and could not do fdr you. Let your heart decide this question.

If an engagement still exists between you. and you wish to break it definitely, you can write the young man a simple note asking him to re lease you.
