" When a Girl "
By ANN LISLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCCXXIII. i
(Copyright, 1919, by Star Feature
Syndicate, Inc.)
Probably showing my pearl ring
to Phoebe and Neai was what turn
ed my thoughts to Daisy and the day
when she restored stolen property.
1 suppose I can never look at my
beautiful ring again without vision
ing the poor little thing cowering
ugainst the wall in loathing of her
self and horror at what slie had,
done. That led me straight to the
blue crepe de chine dress.
Daisy had brought it back. But
I was sure that when I hurried her,
out of the kitchen to avoid Jim she;
hadn't carried it away with her!
There hadn't as a matter of fact,
been time to cross the room and get
it. Moreover, in her frame of mind, ;
Daisy wouldn't have dreamed of i
taking my gift a second time with- 1
out my insisting—nor yet if 1 had!
insisted. And from the moment she j
bundled it down on a chair until ,
now I had completely forgotten the!
dress.
Puzzling about It got me so nerv
ous I went back to my room and
hunted all through my closet. Then
I rummaged by bureau Next I
went over my closet again more
carefully and, finally, emptied tliei
bureau drawers one at a time, i!
looked in the most unlikely places.
No blue crepe de chine dress. Then
I summoned Hedwig and asked her,
if she remembered putting it away.,
No satisfaction there.
"What am I to do?" I asked my
self. "I want the poor little kiddio:
to have her nicest dress. But I
can't call her up and ask her if she
took it What am I to do?"
Suddenly I had the answer: Ask '
Jim.
This fitted In with something that ;
had been in the back of my mind •
for a long time. It gave me the
opening I needed. And it clinched |
a feeling I had partly expressed to
Jim this very day. From now on
I wasn't going to run things. I j
believed in Jim's strength, and I
felt that one of the happiest priv
ileges of our marriage was the one 1
that gave me my boy's strength to
lean on.
Business might shut me out from 1
his life and thoughts now and then,
but I needn't deliberately shut Jim '
out from my life and thoughts and
make a houble chasm of misun
derstanding between us. Only to
day I had told my boy that I trust- I
ed him and trusted him com- i
pletely.
Is it trusting Jim to tell him only^

MONDAY EVENING,
t what I consider is best to have him
' know? Is trusting him for me to
| doubt his deniency or kindness
1 where Daisy is concerned and to
; set myself up as his superior in my
; treatment of her?
"No more mental reservations,
Anne. You're going to tell Jim the
whole story this very night," I ad
monished myself.
"And this determination made
me happier than I had been for
! some time. So the half hour that
j passed before Jim returned went
peacefully enough. My greeting or
| Jim was in keeping with the things
1 I was looking forward to rather than
j with the lonely evening I could
! look back no with no regrets since
it had taught me so much,
i "Well you are certainly some
igirl!" exclaimed Ji.m responding to
| my hug and then holding me off to
i consider with great approval. "Here f
I chase off and leave you to yourj
I own devices for four long hours and j
I train in when it's nearer eleven than |
' ten. and instead of greeting me with ;
a long face, you grin like the bully j
I little sport you're coming to be. Hon
est to goodness, pussy, I fall in love
with you all over again once a day."
"That's what I'm working for," I
1 laughed. "Now tell me about Pat.
You dojj't look a bit worried"
"I'm not!" said Jim, marching rne
, out to the livingroom and piling
i pillows nest-fashion back of me on
■ the couch, after which he proceeded
to fill his pipe with the absorption
!in that task I can never get
used to. A test puff or two and
\ then Jim sat astride a straight
j chair and grinned at me over its
now back.
i "Pat's all right." he said. "He
wouldn't come across with much.
: but I'm sure he isn't one of youi'i
j morbid uns. He'll no north on the
'same train Uncle Ned takes in the
morning, and I think they'll get in
a day or two fishing. Then when
|he comes hack, he's promised to
j see me and go into the matter of
: the old Harrison place. Guess he'll i
deed it to Phoebe for her wedding,
gift. So we know there's no dan-'
: ger of his passing out for a week j
! anyway."
"How you put it!— But men are!
! heartless." I said, and then sighing
: luxuriously I did a rather heart
less right-about-face of my own."
jWe can furnish the old place ull
| over for them as our wedding pres

a look I couldn't quite fathom. "And
money's tight. Try to pull in the
ropes a little, dear."
"And have you call me a tight
wad again?" I laughed. "Not
much! But anyway, Jim, you're con
vinced that for the present I needn't
worry over Pat—aren't you?"
"I am that," said Jim, with con
viction. "He talked to me about
his long Journey. But not morbidly
—Just strangely—and in a queer,
set way. We'll look' out for him
however, never fear."
"We?" I asked. "Meaning us?"
"No. Uncle Ned and I," replied
Jim, intent on his pipe.
Somehow it didn't suggest much
to me then, for I was only holding
myself in leash. I was very anxious
to blurt out the Daisy siory.
"Jimmie, boy, I've a confession to
make."
"Oh. you have?" said Jim, calmly.
"It's about time. Go ahead."
Something caught me by the
throat. Evidently Jim was expect
ing some grave disclosure from me.
But what?

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
There are a great many ways of
; falling In love. Some of them
; work—that is lead to staying In
I love. Some don't. And since all
j waste Is foolish, even tragic, why
; not try to avoid emotional waste?
! Nothing can be more useless,
| more devastating, than unhappy
love. The wear and tear of caring
madly for some one and then find
f ing that it wasn't deeply as well and
| that it hasn't any lasting qualities
affects different folks differently,
I but it affects them all unpleasantly,
• to say the least.
Cynicism, shame, chagrin, bitter
ness, instability, Insincerity, frivol
! ity—a long list of weaknesses are
likely to come along and attack the
folks who manage their love affairs
so ill that they get to thinking that
love itself is an ill-favored and
tragic thing and the worst curse
Adam and Eve left as our inalien-
I able inheritance.
j A great deal of this might be
! avoided. Knowing that the after
j math of a love affair that works
out wrong, why shouldn't we be
| practical enough to strive for love l
j that is right and so works out
right?
How can you tell?
Remember the old saying, "You
| can't always sometimes tell," Well,
I it's like that. But, at least, one can
remove some of the elements of
chance and avoid the worst pitfalls.
Let's put little Dan Cupid on the
witness stand and see if he won't
have to tell us which are his poi
soned arrows.
There's "love at first sight."
Johnny goes to a dance and meets
a girl in rose pink in the moonlight.
She can follow all his most difficult
fox-trot steps, and she's a breath
less listener to his tales of how he
won the hundred-yard dash his
senior year in high school.
You can't found much permanent
happiness on a mutual taste for
fox-trotting and interest In tales of
athletic prowess. But Johnny and
his rose-pink lady don't stop to con
i sider that until they have been en-
J gaged two weeks and find rainy
j evenings dragging on their hands
j after they've told each other a few
i times how they love each other,
j They've nothing vital in common.
il But in sharing the biological pull of
a mutual attraction they didn't stop
to find that out until it was almost
too late.
Another Kind
j There's the love of long habit,
j Friendship drifts along until every
one thinks it's more than friendship
and then to oblige the public two
people undertake to turn bread and
butter (nice wholesome bread and
butter, too) into chocolate- cake
| (and chocolate cake of the soggiest
i and least digestible),
j There's passion—-sometimes that
'comes along disguised so prettily
j that it looks like the "original
i something just as good."
j There's propinquity. "I must love
some one and it might as well be
you," says youth.
There's loneliness. "Every one
else is mated and why shouldn't I
i be?" asks shyness.
I There's pride. "I'm not going to
| have every one think I'm too un
! attractive to appeal to any one,"
! says bitterness.
i There's the old spirit of wanting
what you can't have. The com
j bative spirit, the spirit that won't
j take a dare. It chases after the
unattainable, and if by chance It
reverses the verdict and makes that
unattainable attainable, It stops
wanting just as soon as it can
possess.
That's one of the most prevalent,
most mischievous, most utterly per
nicious ways of falling in love with
the absolute certainty of falling out
again. And it's very human, being
all tied up with such admirable
things as ambition and pride in
achievement.
But to want what you want—un
j til you get it, and then to hurt
.someone else by brutal Indifference
: to the obligation to him which you
; voluntarily assumed, is little short
of criminal.
A "slow but sure" isn't a bad rule
I in any game.
But in the pursuit of love which
shall he true love and so lasting
j love, "slow but sure" is about the
I best rule I've ever heard.
I If love wants to work out into
i its normal expression: marriage of
j the ideal sort, it must be composed
! of many elements.
! The feeling you have for the per
| son you think you love may turn
out to be friendship or attraction
or infatuation or interest, but you
! can't build a life partnership on
: any of them.
} Give your love the third degree
and turn in an honest Indictment,
before you put one of love's Imper
sonators in a position to pass an
unhappy judgment on you.

LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
She was married when a mere
girl in her second year at hig'h
school.
Her husband, a liarum - scarum
lad little older than herself, de
serted her almost immediately. She
fell into ill-health, and since her
family no longer recognized her or
would have anything to do with her,
and since she had neither money nor
friends, the .only refuge open to her
was the public hospital of a neigh
boring city.
For weeks she was desperately ill,
and during that time her baby died
from lack of nourishment and the
care which under other circum
stances she would have given it.
When she finally left the institu
tion, she found herself facing the
world alone and penniless, still weak
and broken from the sorrow and
suffering through which she had
passed.
She was a country girl utterly
unsophisticated in the ways of the
world, and as the daughter of well
to-do parents had never been
obliged to work and so was with
out any sort of training or voca
tion. A weaker spirit would have
surrendered and gone down before
the stark hopelessness of the fu
ture.
But she pluckily gathered the
shreds and fragments of her life to
gether, and started in to make a
new career.
•"After my discharge from the hos
pital," she writes me, "I secured a
position as a servant and worked
for four months in order to secure
my railway .fare to another city
where I was absolutely unknown.
"There, after various vicissitudes,
I finally obtained the chance to
enter a large and well-known hos
pital , s a probationer, and with
hard sV 'v eventually completed the
course was graduated as a
trained l
"About vrffs time I received the
report of my husband's death in an
automobile accident, and since
there was no longer any obstacle in
the way I accepted the attentions
and ultimately married a very fine
young man with whom I had be
come acquainted. There were no
secrets between us; I told him
frankly and fully my whole history,
nnd he was big enough to overlook
my follies and mistakes and take me
as I was.
"Since then my life has been one
of perfect happiness. I have a de
voted husband, a lovely home, and
am the mother of two beautiful
children, a girl of seven and a boy
of six. In the town where we live
I am universally respected, and
have a wide circle of dear friends.
"You can Imagine my consterna
tion and despair, therefore, when I
tell you that about three months
ago while engaged in Red Cross
work at a base hospital I was as
signed to duty one night in a ward
filled with returned soldiers, and
upon the first chart that I examined
I found the name of my former hus
band.
"Hoping against hope that there
might be some mistake, I made in
quiries regarding the identity of
the man, only to become more and
more convinced that it must be he.

courage, I stole over and looked
down at him. There could no longer
be any question or doubt, it was the
husband X had married in my girl
hood.
"Just in from the operation table
and still under the influence of
ether, there was no chance of his
recognizing me or knowing of my
presence; but even so, I did not
wait for more than the one look,
but hurried away from the place as
fast as my feet could carry me.
Then I simply collapsed.
"Ever since my days have been a
dream of horror. My heart is broken.
I dare not tell my husband, and T
have no one else to whom I can
turn. I do not know what to do.
I can expect no relief or assistance
from my people, I am sure. I have
never heard from them since I left
home, and I have heen told that my
name is never mentioned by them.
They are very religious and they will
never forgive me for having, as they
consider, brought disgrace upon

Advice to the Lovelorn
Slio Is Two Years Older.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am twenty-one and in love with
a man of nineteen. He has told
me that he loves me. Now, Miss
Fairfax, I have never told this
young man my age. He believes I
am his age.
Whenever the subject of mar
riage comes up he always says that
he is young yet and intends to see
more of life before he marries. As
1 have written above, I love this
voting man and I would gladly wait
forever for him, but everyone tells
me that I am a fool to bother with
him, because he is too young, and
that if I waited a few years for him
he would still he a young man and
would be looking for some one
younger than I.
Two years difference in age is
nothing at all. One of the happiest
couples I know the wife is twelve
years older. Nineteen is certainly
too young for a man to marry, and
his decision to wait is sensible. If
you care enough about him, why
wait and see what developments
qpme In the next few years? The
dlfferenre In your ages Is so slight
that I do not think It makes any
rtference whether you tell him or
not.
Mazola is equal to butter and better than lards or
compounds in making all kinds of cakes—and at a
remarkably lower cost
You will be surprised at the small quantity of Mazola needed
for cooking. It is pure contains no water or air, therefore
nothing is wasted through heating.
Follow your usual recipes—with H to H less of Mazola than
the amount of butter or lard called for.
Domestic Science Teachers prefer Mazola to
lard or any compound—and it is more wholesome.
