" When a Girl "
By ANN'LIgLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCCI.IV
(Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn
dicate, Inc.)
"If this man in Canada Is my father
—lf my father is still alive"
I got so far then I sat gazing vague
ly at the soft green of the peaceful
little nook where I'd parked my car.
Even to Father Andrew 1 didn't want
to express my thoughts. In fact, I
hated, to formulate them in my own
brain. But Father Andrew being a
man, witli a man's habit of direct
thinking, decided that we couldn't
longer evade the truth. So he put it
into words, and if 1 thought them
cruel it was only to realize that they
were far more cruel to him than to
me.
"If this man in Canada is Lucky
Eee," he said, "then—my Neal has no
right to his name. That's legal and
must be dealt with legally when the
time comes. But it will stir up a
dust, and when we get out of it I
don't know that he'll have a right to
be holding Phoebe Harrison by the
hand."
"Why, father," I cried, "do you
think Phoebe'd give Neal up because
of this? It's an ugiy new version
of Enoch Arden and nobody's going
to blame you or take Neal's name
away from nim"
"Or smirch you mother's memory
if 1 live to stop 'em," Father Andrew
added, grimly. "It's a strange world,
Anne—a world that may take a thing
like this one way and may take it
another. Gossip and scandal are ugly
things—they're capable of claiming
we knew this all along and that we're
a parcel of shameless v retches who

much pitch can stick to a man once I
he starts rolling down hill."
"You cynic!" I cried. "You are los-j
ing faith in the world! This isn't j
really you, Father Andrew. It's just;
your father-love for Neal gottingi!
panicky because you don't trust the j
Harrison pride to see—our tragedy in '
the right light. You're ilazed with!
fear lest some one try tc establish a i
superior claim to your Babbsie. I do \
believe you're getting ready to be j
jealous—you old dear."
"Thank you, Babbsie," replied
Father Andrew gravely. "I calcu- j
late that's about the first time the |
old man plumb lost his way, but l
your common sense and good cheer J
have got him back where he can side|
on even keel again with hand on the
helm. Your old daddy kinda whim- j
pered for a spell. You ain't going to |
hold it against hint, are you?"
"Bless your heart, dear —if you'd
gone on being calm and collected!
through this whole business I'd have
held that against you," 1 replied. "I
don't see what call* you have to be
superhuman. And if you didn't love
Xeal enough to be pretty near des
perate about what this may mean to
his future I'd not think you were
human, so that's that. And now I've
got my nerve baok. too. and I'm bet- I
ting dollars to doughnuts that this!
man in Canada Is nothing but an im
postor."
"So be it," said Father Andrew!
fervently.
"What shall we tea Phoebe and'
Xeal?" I asked a few moments later!
as we drove out of the park on our ;
way downtown to meet "the chil
dren" for lunch.

"Nothing," replied Father Andrew |
concisely.
His voice had recovered its rich
tang and flavor ot the soil and re
sounded with its old power and
courage. It told me that everything
was as it had been from the day
when Father Andrew Hyland came
into my life. I could trust him to
work out our affairs 10 the best of
human ability and with the gt-eatcst
of human putience and kindness and
ui del-standing.
So when we joined Phoebe and
Neal at the restaurant, 1 too, had re
covered my poise and couldn't be
lieve that Father Andrew had ever
lost his.
"Everyone you ever heard of is
here to-day," announced Phoebe, .as
we took our- places at a corner table
lighted by the crisp invigorating
sunlight provided by the sort of
"perfect day" that brings everyone
out a holidaying.
"For instance?" I asked, smiling
with happy amusement at the way
Father Andrew and Neal plunged
into the conversation as if they'd
been parted for days instead of since
morning.
The Cosby's and those Willoughby
girls are here and Val asked if we
couldn't have our coffee together, for
Dana and Dacy Willoughby say they
think she's ashamed of them or
they'd have met you long ago. Then
as we came Tom Mason and that lit
tle Condon girl came too. And Shel
ley's too joined them. Really this
seems to be the only place in town
nowadays."
Hard on her wards, who but Shel
don himself sauntered up to our
table with his insole'nt air of being
sure of a welcome wherever he
went.
"You folks have to let me lunch
with you." he said. "1 see you're
just ordering, and Tommie hadn't the
decency to wait. You can't expect a
man to be eating clams while two
hasty lunchers gobble coffee and
cheese. Besides, 1 hate to be the
third angle of the triangle where
two absorbed young lovers are con
cerned, but if you're very polite I
needn't feel like the fifth wheel on
the wagon here since it's merely a
family party."
"Oh, needn't you?" I thought to
myself, hating Shelley for the way
he got in his malicious tit of gossip
about Tom and Daisy.
But even as he talked he ordered
a y-aiter to make a place for him,
and a moment 1 er was ensconced
between Father Andrew and me.
Phoebe flushed a bit under his glance
of tolerant understanding. Uneasily
then, 1 remember that Phoebe might
b" unattainable now for poor Neal.
The presence of this so-called eli
gible, whom I found so undesirable,
was doubly unwelcome in the light
of the tragedy hovering over Neal's
head. #
| "Are you looking over me, at me
or through me?" demanded Phoebe
suddenly of Sheldon.
I read pique and coquetry and
something of challenge in her
tone. Following Shelly's line of
vision, I looked beyond Phoebe and
saw that we were directly opposite
Val's party. Her Oriental profile was
clearly revealed, and, flanking her
on either side, 1 saw two girls, ani
mated, bird-like and full of the
graces and lure of the Southern belle.
"Aren't Val's friends charming?"
I cried, with what Phoebe may have
thought spitefulness.
But in that moment I was thinking
only of Neal. How grateful I.must
I be for his sake that Sheldon Blake
was the eternal philanderer.

THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER LXXXIV. |
(Copyright, 1919, Star Company) |
For several minutes after De-!
siree Leighton had inude her dec- ]
luration there was an uncomfortable |
silence.
At least it was uncomfortable for
Samuel Leighton. He was wonder- (
ing just how much his daughter
knew. So far she had evidently told !
him the truth. He feared to ques
tion her lest his inquiries imply a
suspicious curiosity. Yet, unless
she knew the facts, he must reveal
them to her. He cleared his throat.
"Well, Smith always seemed to
me to be a gentleman," he said,
then added, "even if what I heard
about his not using his own name
be true."
"It is true in a way." DeSiree af
firmed. "Yet he had a right to cull
himself Smith, for that is his mid
dle name."
"It is, is it? And did he tell you
the rest of his name?"
"Yes, 1 know just who he is, Dad.
Please do not get too much excited
when I explain to you about him.
He is David DeLaine—Miss Jeanne
DeLaine's nephew."
"So I have heard," was the dry
rejoinder.
"You have heard that!" she ex
claimed, sitting up very straight, all
the color leaving her cheeks. "And
what else have you heard?"
She had been truthful to him; he
must tell her the ugly rumor even
if it hurt her.
"Daughter—it is not a pleasant
story, and I hope it is not true —
but at the club this evening I was
informed that Miss DeLaine left her
fortune to her nephew, David, on
condition (he paused and swallowed
hard) on condition that he marry a
young girl of whom she was very
fond. The intimation was that it
might be you. I wish I had knocked
down the man who suggested this
• —and yet I feared it might be
true."
"It was true. Dad."
The father started to his feet as
the words fell upon his ear. The
girl, too, rose and faced him. She
was pale but her gaze did not
waver.
"Dad, I did not know all the facts
until to-night, but I did know about
Miss DeLaine's will. And the
knowledge made me sick —so that
I did not tell you of it—-until now."
"Until now!" her father stormed.
"Until now! I should think that
now you would 'be overcome by
what you must see—that this
scoundrel, DeLaine, came as a sneak
into my employ to try to win your
affections, so that he could claim
his aunt's money! Desiree!" grasp
ing her by the shoulders—"are you
crazy that yoju cannot realize what
all this means?"
She had seldom spoken sharply
to him, but now her voice rang out
tvith an authority that brought the
man to an appreciation of his own
lack of self-control and her strength
of character and willpower.
"Father, have you not enough
faith in me to hear me out? If not,
1 will say no more. But I would
like you to understand everything—
if you will listen to what I have to
say and not go all to pieces in this
way."
"(o Ahead."
He set his jaws firmly. "Go
ahead!" he ordered. "I will try to
keep my tongue between my teeth
until you have finished."
"Then," sitting down again and
clasping her hands tightly as was
her habit when keenly excited,
"what you say of Miss DeLaine's
will is true. This condition, I mean.
That was why her nephew vowed
never to touch a cent of her money.
He avoided me as I avoided him.
"When he came back from France
he was not strong. He had to get
outdoor work—for he had no money.
He came here. He learned who I
was after coming here. He deter
mined to give up this place, but we
urged him to stay.
"Then he had this big fortune
left him by his uncle. He signed a
paper renouncing all claim to his
aunt's property. He will never
touch her estate, not if he has to
prove that her mind was unbalanc
ed.
"That is all, Dad —except —oh.
Dad—he and I love each other!"
With a groan the parent dropped
into a chair and buried his head in
his hands.
For a minute his child watched
his face working painfully. Then,
with a murmur of tenderness, she
sank upon her knees and took the
gray head into her embrace.
"Daddy, dear— plcuse try to un
derstand!" she begged. "David is so
good—so fine! Why should you feel
like this? You are not losing me!"
"And you cannot see that he is
mercenary?" the man stammered
excitedly, drawing uway from her.
"Mercenary!" she repeated. "Mer
cenary, when he has planned to
give away every cent of his aunt's
property if he cannot avoid accept
ing it!" '
The man's face softened for an
instant, but hardened again.
"And what about your fortune,
child?" he demanded. "I suppose
you believe he has not thought of
thut!"
"I know he has not!" she pro
tested, "for he has so much money,
Dad, that he could buy und sell you!
And, us for myself," proudly, "if
that is the tone you take about
David, I will do what he has done
with regard to his aunt's property—
and refuse ever to touch a single
cent ofyour money as long us 1
live—since you can't trust David! •
There!"
After which, to her surprise, the j
tension snapped, and she burst into I
tears. A minute later she found j
herself held close in her father's i
arms, her head upon his breast.
! f "Sweetheart —little girl," he mur- '
mured, "forgive me! I was an old 1
bear. Of course I trust David —and |
you. Haven't 1 always given you J
what you wanted, honey? Y'ou shall j
have your happiness! When can I
see Dellaine?"
It was like Samuel Leighton to
capitulate entirely and suddenly
when convinced he had been wrong.
Desiree lifted a tearful but smil- I
ing face. "He's going to see you to
morrow," she said.

How Many Uses has
a Dessert ?
There was once a Woman in Mod
erate Circumstances who was par
ticularly fuinous among her friends
for her desserts.
"1 don't see how you do it." said a
friend enviously, as they were talking
together one afternoun. "Your din
ners are always delicious, and your
! desserts a triumph, .lust the other
'night, Boh and I were talking, and he
I said he never had tasted such de
! licious pie tilling as he had here last
I Friday night."
. The Woman In Moderate Circum
| stances smiled quietly, and continued
lto crochet. "It's so ridiculously
simple." she said at length. "I use
Puddme, that's all."
"Puddine?" questioned her friend.
"Yes," she replied. "Puddine is my
I dessert of many uses. Long ago I
gave up making cornstarch puddings
—one can never count on their turn
ing out right. But with Puddine,
one can make a delicious, creamy
dessert that always turns out —a firm,
smooth mold, luscious, rich and so
I nutritious. It's easy to make, too."
she added. "All that is required is to
add some sugar und milk, and boil
for three minutes."
"But," objected her friend, "you
have more than one dessert. How
about tlie delicious blanc mange you
served the night the Grahams were
here? And what about that creamy
i mound of wonderful vunillu dessert
I you bad one time?"
| "Oh," said the Woman in Moderate
j Circumstances, with a knowing smile,
i "Puddine comes in any number of
flavors—chocolate, rose vanilla, cream
vanilla, orange and lemon."
"But your pies and cakes with those
lucious fillings—surely you don't
make those with Puddine."
"Surely 1 do," she replied with a
laugh, "and ice cream, too—makes it
rich and velvety."
"My dear," said her friend solemn
ly, "1 want to thank -you. You cer
tainly have taught me something tills
day "
The Woman in Moderate Olrcum
stanres finished counting her stitches
"It- only costs 15c, too," she said,
"and one box serves 15 people."

i lovely hair, while the most popular

1 beauty? Ir.* fact, many are leading

soap or makeshift, but with a simple

f full cup of shampoo liquid Is enough
• so it is easy to apply, it to all thff
