have not seen Mollie since Il
came home and II rather disquietsI
me. for Mollie usually comes In at
least once In two days I was
over ut Dads today, but left before
Mollie got home from work. Mother
Waverly told me that Mollie had
again changed her position and
said.
AT last Mollie seems to have a
place that suits her"
shall not be satisfied until n
hear Mollie's version OF II. Mother
Wayerly did not tell Dad about
Dick and tho poor dear man was
somewhat hurt nj our not being
over there for the last day or two.
lie has failed fast since last saw
him.
sat down and told him the
whole story about the attempt nj
blackmail
Il am glad You told me. Margie.
he said. for two reasons. First,
because ! confess ! thought per.
haps YOU and Dick had forgottenl
me a little. Another IN that II
hurts me TO SEQ how every onel
Seems TO think that ! have lost in
tsrest 10 the affairs OF this world.
All any one. but you. Margie. talks
about Is myself and my physical
feelings. | get 10 tired OF Just
thinking about myself.
Dick will have 10 look out. my
dear. for he has always been more
or leas susceptible To the wiles OF
women. A pretty woman can gain
his sympathy at any moment. You
must be very careful. dear. and
keep your beauty. for I am afraid
that poor foolish Dicks eye for
beauty would insist upon being
filled nj any cost"
It's rather strange. little book
that have received the same warn.
Ing within ~ hours from both
Aunt Mary and Dad. wonder II.
! am going off In my looksf
Isn't II dreadful state OF af.l
fairs when keeping your husbands
vagrant fancy depends upon tho
way you keep the gloss on your hair
and tho rose tint OF youth In your
skim
Mr., Selwin had word 10 say on
this Same subject the other night
when he cama over TO see Dick
after he had broken hts hand.
Dick. my boy" he admonished.
you must be very careful not to-
let n pretty woman take you In
again. II woman only knew the
effect her beauty had upon the mind
and emotions OF man she would
never pray for anything else"
I'D hate 10 think. Mr.. Seiwin.
that man would pass by worth
for beauty. Ny mother taught me-
that N I ware kind and sweet and
sympathetic II would count more
than beauty"
Well" said Mr.. Salwin, rather
cynieally. III seems to mo. looking,
about among my young friends. that
more OF them marry girls who look
well In evening dreas than those
who look well In a Bingham Kitchen
apron. The most advanta geous
marriages that have been made. |
either in this country or III Eng
land in tho last decade, have been
made by women OF the stage.
Now. | don't want to decry the
stage. but no one can say there is
much OF tho shrinking violet about
II and you must admit that flash.
Ing. dashiug beauty marks most OF
the women who are on II. Why.
Mrs. Waverly, ! was quite surprised
when found that Dick had married
school teacher. I've often seen
Master Dick cast his eye on the
pretty chorus girls off or on theI
stage and when ! was told he was
going TO marry n school teacher II
threw up my hands. or courae.
when ] saw you ! needed no further
explanation"
There must have been times.
Mr.. Selwin. when you made Mrs.
Seiwin rather worried over you"
parted demurely after his com.
pliment and. although Mr.. Selwin
Is close TO 10. he had no doubt II
was speaking from conviction.
No man. little book. can con.
ceive that he ever gets too old to-
DO interesting TO a woman OF any
age, from f6 10 So
Dick caught the look OF satisfac-
ton on Mr.. Selwin's face and
winked Mt me. but ] am sure he
feels Just the same in regard TO
himself.
