The Story Of a Young Girls Struggles
:: The Fortunes OF Fanny ::
Fanny Finds That CrandaIl Owns the Shop Where She
Is EMPLOYED
Is Employed.
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water.

But during noon hour, when she had
returned from her luncheon and while
business was slack the subject re-
CURED to her again, and, following a
swift impulse, she beckOned to Angelo
to come to her table The boy was
idle for the time, and there were some
things she wished to ask him. He
obeyed her summons smilingly.
With an appearance Of indifference
Fanny turned the conversation in
channels along which her own
thoughts were flowing, and guardedly
asked the boOtblack what kind of a
girl her predecessor at the manicure
"Oh, she's nice-a girl all right" An
gelo replied vaguely. "Onlee she

"He ees just leetle boss" Angelo ex-

"Oh, no, Angelo, you're mistaken"
Fanny corrected confidently.

Crandal he don work here-but he

Leaves Her to Do Some Wondering.
A customer at the bookblacks chair
called him and he hurried away, leav-
ing Fanny to ponder the bit Of infor-
nation he had impaired. OF course,
she told herself, the boy was wrong.
What reason would Crandau have %
conceal from her the fact that he owned
the establishment in which he had Sc
cured her a pOsitiOn2
Then came a second thought that
was followed by a shuder of premonl-
ton. Angelo had told her when she
first came that her predecessor mad
gotten into trouble about a "custO-
mer." Now he told her that said Gus
~tomer" was Mr.. Crandau. Why mad

man to whom the other girl had owed

son made her doubt the truth Of -he
bOotblack's story yet her intuition IN
sisted that in its essentials the taIe
was true.
The opportunity to get some light
on the matter came late in the after
noon, when Jim Crandall strolled INTO
the Cairo barber shop. He paused at
her table, but did not sit down.
Il don't suppose that can preteh1
that I need another manicure already,
he said regretfully. But wish you

GLT LOST my husband" said won
an, through my children.

LLT LOST my husband" said a wom-
- an, ''througn my children.
Il children are popularity sup
posed to be the strongest bond that
holds a husband and wife together.
Sometimes they are, and sometimes
they are the first aid to divorce It
all depends upon how much good, hard
horse sense the woman has, and how
well she understands men.
I didn't understand men at all. 1
thought that a father was just as much
OF a father as a mother is a mother,
and was just as willing to be offered
up as a sacrifice on the altar Of a red
faced baby and by the time 4 found
out my mistake the mischief was done.
Ny happiness was wrecked and our
marriage had gone to swell the noun
taineous matrimonial junk pile.
you remember the old French say
ing: There are women who are all
wives, and other women who are all
mothers Whenever I hear a man adj
dress his wife as mother I shudder. 1t
means that she has failed as a wife,
and that she is nothing to him but
his chiIdrens mother.
when Tom and I were married we
started out with every prospect for
happiness. We were rich. We were
young and good looking and deeply
in love with each other, and. best of
all we were comrades. We liked the
same sort OF things. We gOlfed to-
gether, we automobiled together, we
went to the theater together, we had
little suppers together. We were the
kind of chums that two people may
be who are absolutely sympthetic in
every taste and habit.
Then my baby came. and we were
frantic with delight over him 1, in
particular, was mad about him, and /
not only spent the whole day hanging
over his cradle, but put in the even
ings sitting beside it, although there
wasn't the slightest necessity for do
ing so. for Tommie was a sturdy,
healthy little chap, and I had a re-
liable nurse who knew a hundred times
more about taking care of babies than
1 did.
Baby Begins to Figure.
ITO may amazement, by the time the
baby was a month or six weeks old
I found out that Tom expected me to
take up our usual life. One evening
at dinner 1 saw him looking critically
at me Aren't you feeling quite well
again? he asked me. 'SplendidIy.' I
replied. Then why don't you put on
some of pour pretty, frilly dresses and
do you hair fussy again?' he asked.
oh. Tom, I can't I laughed: baby
pulls so at my things and he's so
strong he'd just tear my laces to tat
ters.' Humph. was all that Tom said
by way of reply, but I could see that
ne was unconvinced.
Il told myself that he was silly ia
expect me to dress up like I used to
and that a mothers first duty was
to her child, and never suspected

q Making Thinking Worth While .
Painter Saws That the Mind Adds Facial Beauty

Of other peoples thoughts? 1t Just
simply cannot be done.
Thinking brings so much satisfac7
ton in its wake. Personally and from
an entirely selfish motive, isn't that
reason enough for thinking But after
all, that isn't my second reason fort
thinking. This is it. One should think
because of the outward beauty it brings
to the face. 1t is as though the entire
countenance were lighted from withtIn.
The expression that thoughts leave cain
never be attained in any other way, be5-
cause it is a lasting, worth while way
Of seeking beauty.
There is no elaborate prqblem about
il We simply acquire simplicity. and
that begins to show in outward thtngss
too. We arrange our garments and our
persons the way our mind dictates, and
if the mind dictates simplicity how
wonderfully fortunate we are.
ITO my mind, when I see girl
whose eyes are never quite fathOmable,
I recognize her Immediately as a kim
bred spirit I know she thinks. 1 feel
that she is bordering on the mysteries
Of things and they are reflected from
within all over her countenance. She
is just a little more remote than are
] other people, but ever so much more
! interesting.
Her mind is a study, revealing IN
I outward things traits Of character. Her
