" When a Girl "
By AX-\ LISLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCCXXXV
(Copyright. 1919, King Feature
Syndicate, Inc.)
"Too tired to go up to Val's for a
bridge game to-night?" asked Jim
the second evening after his return.
"Not a bit," I replied. "Shall 1
phone and ask if they want us to
come?"
"No need of that," said Jim. "I
fixed it up to-day."
"Then why couldn't Val have tele
phoned and asked me if I liked the
arrangement?" burst from me be
fore I could stop and consider the
unwisdom of so revealing my feel
ings.
"Come, come, my dear, don't get
mad because Dane and I make up
a little party and take our girls for
granted," replied Jim easily; and at
once I relented, ashamed of my
burst of temper and the quick flare
of jealousy all about nothing.
"I'll be ready in a jiffy," I said.
"Just let me give my nails a "polish,
so they'll shine at bridge even if I
don't."
"Vanity—'Vanity, thy nam is
woman!' " misquoted Jim, e<#.iing
to my dressing table, however, and
holding out his hands for a little
buffing.
In a minute our preparations
were made: and, in the laughing
mood our stunt induced, we raced
up to the elevator and up to Val's. \
Dane answered our ring: and, in j
the very breath with which he
greeted us, the big brown bear
turned and flung out a seemingly |
admonitory:
"It's Anne and Jim, folks!"
There was a scuffling and moving 1
about of things, almost as if this
were a warning. And it seemed to '
my alert nerves that Dane held us in !
the hall a moment or two. Then
\ al swept out and welcomed us roy
ally. "When we got into the living
room there were Uncle Ned and 1
Aunt Mollie. and Val followed their !
hearty greeting with a little I
apology:
"If I'd understood you were com- j
ing I'd have insisted on having you '
in for dinner."
I turned to Jim questioninglv. ;
Had I caught him in a fib? If I had, I
he displayed no guilty or apologetic
conscience about it, for he said i
easily:

MONDAY EVENING,
. #Oh, we had first-rate grub in
J Harrisonia. Are the Willoughby
girls, or whatever their name is,
j coming in for bridge?"
i "Did Dane promise you that to
j lure you here?" asked Val, smiling
I indolently at Jim iri the provocative
; way I'd forgotten. "No; 1 didn't ask
j them. Anne and Aunt Mollie might
have a rubber or two with Uncle
! Ned and my big brown bear while
i you and I discuss—things."
i There was a hardly perceptible
! pause before the last word. It made
j me uneasy—stirred emotions I had
j barely gotten under, control and
didn't want to risk rousing again.
"I'm game!" said Dane, getting
; out the .bridge table promptly and
; without consulting his guests about
; their preferences. "And I challenge
j those championship players known
|as Pettingill to a match with the
! fair Princess Anne and me. Are
; you on, folks?"
"If my bride is in form I hate to
think what she'll do to you," said
Uncle Xod. "I need her to inspire
the old man—he's kind of taken up
with other ideas to-night. Excuse
me a minute before we start, chil
dren"
Saying this, he went over and
whispered something in Jim's ear
which caused my boy to laugh and
pat Uncle Xed reassuringly on the
back, with a murmured confidence
to Val.
My first uncomfortable sensations
returned twofold. I felt completely
out of things. Evidently Jim and
Uncle Xed—having been off on a
trip together—had things in com
mon which Val and Lane and Aunt
Mollie. who had also been a-holi
daying in company might share.
Hut I was an alien to their secrets,
and no one was kind enough or
courteous enough to think of trying
to make me feel in things and so
more at ease.
"Rridge isn't my game!" I gasped
in chagrin a while later.
Lane, my partner, had doubled
Aunt Mollie's no-trumper: and, after
I failed to take him out in my long
est suit, he declared two diamonds,
which I, with good spades in my
hand, let go by. Then Uncle Ned
jumped the bid to three hearts; and
I was too frightened—or too intent
on the earnest conversation between
Jim and Val—to gamble on my
spades or Lane's diamonds, of which
I held three. Of course it turned out
that Aunt Mollie held no spades, and
Uncle Xed had no diamonds. So
they established a cross-ruff and,
trumping our best cards, made four
tricks and the game.
I was too upset to care. But I
hated to spoil Lane's game; and
when he took it very nicely I felt
worse than ever. Then I had what
seemed an inspiration.
"Someone else cut in and let m,e
out," I said.
"Supno>-s you and I cut out and
have >. little chat, dear," said Aunt
Mollie unsuspiciously.
There was a quick exchange of
through the system direct to the
seat of the trouble —acting as an
antidote to neutralize the blood
poisons. It revitalizes the red Wood
corpuscles, increases the flow so
that the blood can properly per
form its physical work. The dull,
sluggish feeling leaves you the
complexion clears up. Even long
standing cases respond promptly.
But you must take S. S. S. Drugs
and substitutes won't do. Get
S. S. S. from your druggist. If
yours is a special case and you
meed expert advice, write to Med
ical Adviser, 257 Swift Laboratory,
Atlanta, Ga.

telegraphic glances, and then Jim
cried:
"That's fine. Give Uncle Ned and
me a chance to trim these Cosby's."
"Oh, you're going to be my part
ner, Jimmie! And when I'm dummy
you three boys can talk over—cer
tain plans—while I keep Anne and
Aunt Mollie from listening in," said
Val creamily.
My brain whirled. This tone of
complete understanding toward Jim
—this acknowledgment that there
was something in the wind from
which they were all in league to
shut me out! What could it mean?
How could people like Uncle Ned
and Aunt Mollie tolerate it? And
yet here it was going on under their
very eyes, and seemingly with their
very sanction.
"I won't be jealous! I won't!" I
told myself, fighting a hard and
losing battle.

King Albert's Tree
in the Capitol Park a
Wonderful Specimen
The one lasting memorial of the
notable visit of the Belgium royal party
to Harrisburg is the memorial tree
planted by the King in Capitol Park to
the east of the main entrance.
The tree is known botanically as
larix europoea or European larch or
tamarack. As its name implies it is
a native of Europe, but thrives fully
as well in its adopted country. It
lives to very old age and under con
genial surroundings grows to a height
of 100 feet Its pyramidal habit of
growth causes it to be a stately impos
ing tree, standing out distinctly among
the more common forms of trees.
The larch is known as a deciduous
evergreen ; It has many of the charac
teristics of the conifero or cone bear
ing trees, yet it drops its leaves in the
fall like the oaks, maples, etc. The
cypress and the gingko with the larch
are the three trees hereabouts in this
unusual class of deciduous evergreens.
These form the interesting link between
the real evergreens and the deciduous
trees. ,
The tree planted by the King Is about
fifteen years old. It was grown from
seed at The BerryhiU Nursery just four
miles from where it now stands, hon
ored by Royalty. It was moved to Its
present location with a large ball of
earth and every precaution was used
to insure its growth. Ordinarily the
European larch retains its leaves until
late fall or early winter. Because of
the shock of transplanting, the tree this
year will doubtless drop its leaves much
earlier than usual. It is no sign of
alarm, therefore, but the very natural
method for the tree Is to adjust itself
to its new surroundings and prepare for
many years of life and growth.
It was a notable event for Harrls
burg to have the King of Belgium plant
its Arbor Day tree, and no more appro
priate or beautiful tree could have been
selected.

eARRIQBUKG TELEGRAPH
NEW CLUB TO BOOST
CITY'S DEVELOPMENT
Nearly A Hundred Businessm en Enroll in New Post of Pro-
tective Travel ers Association
Almost a hundred of the livest
boosters in Harrisburg assembled in (
the ballroom of the Penn-Hurris |
Hotel Saturday evening to organize,
a post of the Travelers Protective,
Association of America. Those pres
ent were the guests of Horace L.
Wiggins, manager of the Penn-Har
ris and George D. Wcfrthington, as
sistant manager, both of whom have;
been identified with the association
for many years.
The ballroom was decorated as j
never before and because of its au
tumn colorings evoked all manner of 1
pleasant comment. The table was
arranged in the form of a horse
shoe and inside the oval the floor
was covered with autumn leaves,
pumpkins, shocks of corn, and other
decorative features suggested by the
season. Candelabra lighted the
tables until later in the evening,
when the organization work was in
order, and a flood of light was turn
ed on. During the dinner a young
woman singer rendered a number of
selections artistically and was fre
quently recalled. An orchestra also
played, throwing a lot of pep into
its program.
Martin W. Fager, after the menu
had reached the coffee stage, an
nounced the purpose of the gather
ing to be the organization of a Har
risburg post of the Travelers Pro
tective Association and immediately
the business training of those pres
ent was demonstrated in the rapid
fire motions and resolutions which
were presented. First came a motion
to appoint a committee on nomina
tion of officers and while the music
entertained the diners tljis com
mittee retired and presently report
ed the following nominations, all of
which were manifestly acceptable
and were chosen as the first officers
of "Post R." of this city: President,
Arthur D. Bacon; first vice-presi
dent, Martin W. Fager; second vice
president, R. E. Cahill; secretary
and treasurer, George D. Worthing
ton; directors, F. S. LaChance, C. E.
Kennedy, H. H-Lentz, J. A. Hudson,
,H. S. Martin, T. E. Cleckner and A.
W. Myers.
When Mr. Bacon had been escort
ed to the chair he spoke of the good
which had been done by the T. P. A.
and was certain through the organiz
ation and co-operation of its mem
bership here much might be ac
complished. He dwelt upon the re
sults of the of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary
Club and the Kiwanis Club in Har
risburg and predicted another center
of boosting a.ctivity in the new Har
risburg post.
"Bring Home the Baeon"
L. F. Neefe, president of the
Kiwanis Club, was among the guests
and also spoke enthusiastically of
the splendid results of the co-opera
tion of the various boosting organiz
ations of the city. "These always
bring home the bacon," said he, "and
we'll help you to help us to make
Harrisburg the best city in the coun
try." This sentiment was applauded.
E. J. Stackpole, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, presented the
greetings of that body and pointed
out the substantial benefits to the
community of the various organiza
tions to which the previous speak
ers had referred. He felt that with
these co-operating agencies the
Chamber of Commerce would be
enabled to accomplish more for Har
risburg than it has ever accomplish
ed before. Dwelling upon the im
portant asset of good fellowship in
any city, he predicted for the Har
risburg post of the association a
future worthy the aims of the or
ganization. He also declared the
fact the Penn-Harris was the home
of the new post was in Itself an
augury of success as within its walls
the very spirit of progress which now
inspires the activities of this city
had its abiding place. He urged all
present to sing the song of Harris
burg wherever they went and to
learn intimately of what is being
aimed for in this city and be able
as a result to spread abroad its ad
vantages and attractions
Mr. "Wiggins and Mr. Worthtngton
were called upon and modestly told
the Inspiration of the organization
and how they had jointly taken
the initiative in establishing the
Harrisburg post. Mr. Wiggins ex
plained how he first became interest
ed in the association as a boy in
one of his father's hotels. He saw
the Insignia of the T. P. A. and
asking his father what the letters
meant he was told that they stood
for ' Travelers Properly Accommo
dated." He felt that this was a
practical interpretation of the let
ters and ever since had kept in mind
his father's translation of the insig
nia.
Lee s P r,n S. of Philadelphia.
State president of the association,
presented the charter of the new
post in an interesting address in
which he challenged the Chamber of
Commerce to keep up with the Har
risburg post in advancing the inter
est* the city. The president of
the Chamber accepted the challenge
in behalf of that body and expressed
the nope that the new organization
would give stimulus and inspiration
to the older business body.
In 89 States
Alexander McQullken. of Phila
delphia, the State secretary, mad?
a helpful and interesting address in
which he stated that the T. P. A.
. ■
was now organized in thirty-nine
.states. He told of its many achieve
| ments in the welfare not only of
i its members but of the business
community, mentioning the inter
change of mileage tickets and the
handling of trains to provide im
proved service, especially where the
number of passenger trains was re
j duced to thedisadvantageof commer
| cial men and the business interests
i which they represented. He spoke
jof Harrisburg as a wonderful city,
declaring that no city in eastern
I Pennsylvania had such a future be
j fore it. He predicted a membership
| for the Harrisburg post of at least
a thousand. No post he thought
had better prospects.
William Adams, of Lancaster,
chairman of the State membership
committee, told of the rapid increase
of the organization throughout the
F'.ate and complimented Harrisburg
as being a modern city which was
attracting attention everywhere. He
believed • the organization here
i would be of great benefit to the city
l in telling the story of its splendid
| progress and its unusual advantages
i from a business and residential point
i of view.
The next State convention will be
held at York and the national con
vention at Portland, Oregon.
One of the main objects of the
association is to (elevate the so
cial and moral character of travel
ers as a profession and to bring
about the better acquaintance of
members. It also aims to secure
recognition from railroads and ob
tain as favorable terms on trans
portation and baggage as are* given
to any other class of travelers, and
to adjust all differences on an
equitable business basis. There are
also insurance features which are of
benefit to the members in case of
accident or death.
Before the close of the evening
many of those present pledged a
large number of applications for
membership at the next meeting.
As a booster club the new post
will be welcomed by all the other
civic bodies which are pushing for
ward Harrisburg to its certain des
tiny as a leader among municipali
ties of Pennsylvania.
