calculated to bore any man after the

above all. interested. Daphnes duty was
not only to point out DANES light but
to hide her own under a bushel-and sit
on the lid.
No young woman used to a normal
amount of masculine attention thrives
without II. Daphane's course naturally
cut her off from much social life. Es-
cOrts only occasionally wanted sisterly
COmpaniOnship. There was a steady
demand for DANES less restricted in
terest. Daphne found herself drifting
into solitude all the more marked
when contrasted with Diane's growing
popularity
OF course, the envy of Diane and
her other women friends of her safely
engaged state was very comforting.
And Daphne never wavercd in loyal
ty to the Chicago man. When he
came to the city she compared him
with others and retoiced in his love.
And when he went away again loneli-
ness smothered her like pail.

half tenderIy, half bossily. And drink
more milk. You are getting very thin.
Please promise to take care of your

Of you"
Daphne drank as much milk as she
could afford to buy. She walked so
many blocks a day for exercise. and
worked with regularity that was not nat
ural to her temperament She was afraid
that II she neglected the slightest de-
tail OF physical care she would be blam-
ed for anything that might happen to
her health. But she continued growing
thinner. Neither Diane nor her fiance
realized that the little singer had been
smittcn with a most insidious and un-
fghtable malady. She Was homezick.
And the serious complication of lone
illness had set :n.
On the sixth evening that Diane had
been whirled away in a motor car for
a cool dinner up the river or at one
Of the Beaches, Daphne found she could
not eat all Ard in the six days pre-
vious she had spoken only to the maid,
the elevator boy and trades people
She put on her best hat, but that
was not a very cheering operation be-
cause she was wearing inexpensive things
to save for the trousseau that loomed
uncertainty ahead. With languid steps
she entered the old Brcvoort ba sement
restaurant in search of well-CoOked food
but she backed out with great haste
and enthusiasm. Four Of Diane's con-
quests were having dinner with the kind

turned to Washington Square. where the

brought hundreds OF tired people to the
benches. Long after nine o'clock Daphne
found herself in Sixth avenue. where she
took a drug store drink, which satisfied
her conscience because it was composed
of milk and egg and chocolate. On her
way back to the studio, She reflected that
she might be hungry before morning,

Then he wondered why Daphne laughed

him out of the room very roughly.

MEMBERS FLOCK
TO MOTOR CLUB
Auto Drivers Alive to Benefits

cation.

That Washingtonians are taking kind
ly to motoring organization which Of
fers the motor tourist practical bene-
fits Is becoming more and more appar-
ent as the membership list of the A. A.
A. District of Columbia Club grows.
Thirty-six new names were added to
the roster during the past week.
According to officials of the organiza-
tion, the week just closed was the bust
est yet experienced at club headquar-
ters In the Riggs Building. Throughout
tie week steady stream of applicants
for membership; and seekers after road
Information poured into the clubs Of
fees. During this period the touring
bureau gave road Information and
routes to 2S1 motorists
The value OF an automobile club to
motor car owners is no longer ques-
toned. There is hardly a city. town
or hamlet in the United States that
doesn't boast its automobile club. and
in this respect the National Capital may
be the proudest of all cities proud of
their motoring organizations.
In its endeavors to obtain repairs for
degenerated roads, the construction of
needed roads, the sign-n1a rking of all
highways, and its constant efforts COM
batting unjust and seeking equitable
motor legislation, the local club, back
ed by the national organization, is
making an irresistible appeal to Ma
tional Capital motorists.
