CHAPTER CCLXXHi
Carl Booth, as Jim had Imagined
htm, should, promptly on seeing lus
host In business clothes* have be'
gun a stumbling apology for his
own dinner coat-.
' But the real Carl the Carl I
knew* the nice uneelfcdnsclous fel
low who had blg-brothered mo
< about the city—simply didn't give
a second thought to ft matter like
that.
He greeted Jim with unquestion
ing friendliness as man to man,
and bolstered up Daisy's shy appre
ciation of our handsome apartment
with cordial delight, Daisy seemed
rather awed by Jim, and though he
was punctiliously polite to the lit
tle thing, I knew ho hardly saw
her.
'Once dinner was announced and
we wore scaled at tho table, Daisy
glued her attention on me In the
matter of forks and spoons. But
Mlic didn't venture n remark with
out looking to Carl for approval.
And Carl seemed as Indifferent to
her presenco as Jim was. I won
dered if ho were really as indiffer
ent to her as he seemed, and if she
was as far from indifferent as she
appeared.
"It seems great to be sitting at
your table, Barbara Anne," said
Carl, with frank enjoyment. "And
you have tho kind of a cook or chef,
or whatever, they call 'em, who
knows how to aid and abet a feel
ing like that."
"You always were a great boy to
enjoy whatever was put. before
you," I replied, feeling myself slid
ing back on a tide of memory to
• tho old Haldane days. "A fifty-cent
table d'hote with red ink to drink
used to make us pretty jolly, didn't
it?"

WEDNESDAY EV EtflNG,

. extra fifty made It seem like 'some
, sum, as Kate put it: I guess we
didn't include you in the jamborees

, "I guess I didn't count," replied
; Daisy, flushing dully,
, "You were a kiddie," t stild con
ctllatlngly, fearing her almost silent
. host might be making hoi' feel that
she didn't count now, either.
"I was a ntne-dollar-a-week er
; rand girl—the equivalent for a
I copyboy on a newspaper," she ex- |
j plained politely, turning to Jim.
"Thank you," he said suavely,
r These reminiscences antedate you,
Mr. Harrison," laughed Carl with
[ tho evening's bocoiul evident effort
• to includo the host and make him
, i'eel ono of us. "But 1 can add somo
■ '1 know lior when' stuff that takes
you right in. Did Barbara tell you
it was I who took her to that re
| crutting meeting wliero you spoke j
anj charmed tho heart right out of .
| I her bosom ?"
[ "I believe she did say it was one
; j of the men from the magazine," re
! plied Jim almost awkwardly.
. | I nearly chuckled right out in
■ | meeting. To think of my Jim, my
, elegant James Harrison being ill at |
| ease in the presence of simple, un
-1 j pretentious old Carl was completely
' absurd. But it was true. Now at j
this late date, Jim was going
through some of the discomfort I
' had experienced over and over
' again when 1 tried to adjust myself
' to his world and to'Tiis friends.
' Then Daisy llung herself into the
• lists as Carl's champion, and I had
: to bite my lips hard. Little, eolor
' less, grain-of-dust Daisy was the
lirst woman I had ever seen who
• remained entirely indifferent to my
' Jim's great charm. It was very
evident that she didn't feel his
magnetism that he almost repelled
her, and that Jim was beginning to
be aware that this drab little thing
disliked and feared him.
"One of the men from tlie maga
zine!" repeated Daisy scornfully.
"Carl's the man of the magazine
every one says. Why, he's adver
tising manager now, and we all
know Mr. Haldane's going to make
hiin managing editor the first of
next year."
"Hear! Hear!" cried Carl good
naturedly. "If you're looking for a
fine little press agent, Mr. Harrison,
don't apply to me for one. I
shouldn't know whom to recom
mend. But you have lost touch
with the old shop, haven't you, Bar
bara Anne?" he concluded turning
to me suddenly with complete ab
sorption that I couldn't direct or
divert through the rest of the meal.
Out of the corner of one eye I
could see Jim, making gallant if
spasmodic efforts to arouse Daisy
I from the mood of almost sullen

! antagonism Into which the air of
i our apartment had transmuted her
j shyness. Jim seemed piqued and
I puzzled by her lack of response.
. But ho hud ulso ail untuning air of
having one eye reserved for Carl
and me, and of boing on the alert
for a chance to protect himself into
our conversation. But Carl, tho
only completely unselfconscious
member of our group—had broad
| Shoulders spread to fond anyone
else out of our reminiscences. He
was sure the party was a grand
success. I wusn't so sure.
After dinner, with tho air of
being an excellent host, Jim sug
gested going to a roof for a bit of
star-shine and some dancing.
"I've no coat," said Daisy shame
facedly as we went into my room
to do a bit of preparatory prinking.
"It was so warm—l thought I didn't
I need one."
I "Of course," I agreed, without
I showing any consciousness that the
j'girls at Haldane's might not be able
jto afford evening coats, and might
I prefer not to wear their serge busi
! ness capes over party dresses when
i faring into the Harrison world.
"But it may be cool on the roof.
Suppose 1 take along this extra
wrap?"
I produced a cape of brown chif
fon, collared and banded in kolin
sky altogether outshining the
black satin garment into which I
was slipping.
"You lend me that?" cried the
girl, showing again the sudden ani
mation that made her vivid and
sweet instead of dull and colorless.
I made a sudden vow to my dead
friend Kate, that I'd help her little
sister find the bronze and pink
sweetness that were hidden away
• under her sullen drabness.
"I won't stop to change my dress,
■ though you are the belle of the
ball," I said, "and I'll be happy if
you'll wear this cape."
"I wonder if Carl will notice,"
Daisy murmured half to herself.
But she had given me a clue that
IEABRISBURG TELEGRAPH
was almost pathetic. She was '
jealous of my old pal's friendly In- I
terest In me. The pathos of that!
was temporarily forgotton when wo I
got Into the taxi Jim had ordered,
and seizing my hand In a. sudden
grip ho whispered:
"All the waltzes, Lilac Lady. And
if you can keep that idiot from ;
shouting 'Barbara Anne' every ten '
seconds I'll be much obliged."
Jim was jealous of Carl Booth.
I confess I loved it!

||LITTLE TALKS BY |i
BEATRICE FAIRFAX !
- ——
i If you have attained the age oI i
j discretion, or indiscretion, for that I
; matter, it is highly probable that at
! some time or other you have scon
enacted on the stage a play com-
I pounded after the following' weil
] known receipt:
Take a young, middle-aged or
even near-elderly couple that have
been steeped in domestic happiness,
II" of broiling age, they have prob
j ably just completed an ideally hap
j py honeymoon. If of roasting age.
, they have perhaps been steeped for j
ten or fifteen years. If older, the |
steeping has been going on longer. :
Now introduce one perfectly good I
"vampire," who may be either tough I
or tender, according to the taste of j
the playwright. In this receipt the i
"vamp" stands for the "brisk lire" ]
that the cook book insists will burn \
things if not carefully watched. !
The "brisk lire" starts things going,
and while everything seems to be in
the greatest danger, the chef—in I
the person of the playwright—in- ;
troduces a fourth ingredient that :
puts a check on the too rapid cook- i
ing of the domestic goose.
The fourth ingredient is none '
other than the true-blue family 1
friend who agrees to make property I
love to the wife for the purpose of
making the husband jealous. You
recognize the old reliable plot that
you have seen* a thousand times, it.
is as safe as mother's bread, as ■
sane as roast mutton.
Now, having seen this grown-up .
fairy talc so often on the stage, a J
good many women have begun ;u
confuse repetition with gospel and
to apply its false maxims to their
own troubles. And the fat is in tne j
lire, to return to the kitchen for ou.
figure of speech.
For in real life, alas, things do
not work oul like the old reliable
stage formula which, might be en
titled: "A Cure for Husbands." If
the husband is really in the toils of
I a "vamp," he will not see things i
lat their face value. His wife it.
| some mysterious way becomes an j
' obstacle to his happiness and her |
i fond and foolish strategy may fur- I
nisli him with the excuse for which
j he has been looking,
j And the old reliable family friend
| of the play is rather scarce in real
life, so that the poor, distracted
| little wife must look about among
strangers for this highly impoitant
actor to play the role of jealoasy-
I inspiring rival to her husband. 1
And, sometimes the susceptible
I gentlemen of real life who responds
Ito the wife's languishing glances
does not realize he is part of a plot
and that the neglected wife has ni> j
use for him at alll but is merely '
flirting as part of the game.
And of course she has not taken j
her entire circle of friends into her !
confidence, nor her neighbors for i
that matter, and everyone is at first |
surprised, distressed, and then dis
gusted by the "goings on" of the
poor litle woman who, alas, may
be "going on" with a broken hcrat.,
Also the husband, who has never
had any patience with the sauce,
for the goose sauce for the gander |
I theory, as far as women are con- '
corned, now regards himself as u 1
domestic martyr whose own peca
dillos are amply justified by the con
duct of his wife. The sympathy that |
even the most flagrantly sinning |
husband is apt to feel at times for I
a wronged wife and which has been j
the cause of innumerable reconcili- j
ations, is lost by such mistaken tac- j
tics.
"The hair of the dog that iiil I
you" is a poison rather than an I
antidote, when applied as a cure to |
an impressionable husband. it |
works out beautifully on the stage, I
and if you Want to see a husband I
; got his just deserts after this t.t
for-tat fashion, pleuse pay any - '
where from 50 cents to $2, plus the |
war tax on theater tickets, to see 1
it done up brown. Then come home I
; with a firm determination to re- 1
verse the action of this fairy story |
: in real life.
For any woman who flirts, either I
: to teach her husband a lesson or i
: for her own amusement, is delib
| eratoly pulling the foundation stone.; j
: from under her home. All that she j
succeeds in doing is to shake his
belief in her, and to detiie his idea'
of her goodness and purity.
There are several things to bo
considered in this great question of
jealousy—first, have you really got
anything tangible to be jealous
about? Is there an actual, in
dubitable "vamp" menacing your
hearthstone, or are you offering
your soul to the greeh-eyed monster
to feed upon because of vague ap
prehensions that there might, couid,
would or should be some one? I
If your troubles come under the j
head of possibilities, lose not a mo- '
meat's time in casting out the seven |
devils of jealousy that possess you. I
And there is no more certain way
of making the evil dream come true
than by constantly conjuring up the
vision.
Do not look at every woman e r
your acquaintance in the light of a
possible rival. Suggestion is a po
tent agency: your very suspicions
may be the match that starts Ihe !
fuse.
Don't for a moment lot your lius
| band think that you arc watching
him, censoring his mail, or unduly
concerning yourself about his com
ings and goings. The honor sys- ;
tem works well in other than penal j
| institutions. We all have to take
I a great deal on trust —every rail
road journey, every meal, every
physician's prescription-—but we do i
not torture ourselves anticipating a|
possibly tragic blunder in advance. |
if your troubles are real, and j
there Is an actual indubitable |
"vamp" menacing yoitr domestic j
peace, the one sovereign remedy— I
alas, that it has not been put on the '•
stage!—i horse sense. It is an al- I
I most impossible formula to follow
, when raw agony consumes one's j
| heart and soul and flying off the j
i handle is an almost automatic pro- i
I cess. But in the long run it is j
| the only cure.
You have got to beat the vampire

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair
v 4
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thins to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. it's very
cheap and heats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months,
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
ail that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh* looking,
bright, tluffy, wavy and easy to han
dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of- dust, dirt and dand
ruff.
