Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-04-04

himself hh wouldn't be so particular
about saving his old clothes-and if
he tried tp go anywhere without his
elothes-well, goodness me, you know
what sensation that would cause.
That would get in the papers! I'll
send out Ind get all the papers and
sec If ans one has been picked up with
out clio hes they'd put that on the
front page sure" I'D Molly rang for
q maid WHO soon brought the evening
papers. These were searched to no
avail and NoIly treasured her friend
Now, dbn't you worry, Betty. It's
all foing y come out right. You just
stay ere with me and cheer up. Faith
er will be home soon and he always
knows exactly what to do. Father
knows everyone and has a terrible lot
of Influence. He'll locate your Jimmie
boy in jify"
just then the telephone bell in
Molly's boudoir rang and Betty heard
one sid Of the conversation:
"Yes-Oh, hello Dad-youre late to-
night what's up? You'll bring friend
to dinner the son Of an old political
fr-en !?-isn,t that splendid? oh, I'm
SO glad!-Whats his name?
"o-o-'l!" The last little sigh OF
astonishment followed by quick
glance at Bel.y Blake and an excla-
nation Of delight.
oh, Dad please, please hurry i've
got something SO in-po- tant to see YOU
about. Bring your FRIEND right away
and I'll tell Bronson 10 lay another
plate.
oh, Betty" she chirped in a voice
the saiety pf which seemed to Betty
all UNI for tn situation. Fathers
coming right home-and he's going to
bring a wonderful new friend with him
and I'm sure, oh, I'm perfectly sure,
your Jim is all right. So there, there,
now, Dear. don't you worry any more.
IN tell ydu what wen do, she went
| hlithely on, seemingly unmindful that
4 city was still worrying. Lets dress
for nner. ! have a perfectly new ev-
ening gown that I can't wear--it does
ut go with my complexion. YOU know
and I'm just dying to see you in it,
You know, 6u never Won 4 fuss about
your clothes the way we others did and
I've always thought how sweet you
look if you'd start even with the rest
Of us. Come now, I've got my heart
set ON i'll won't let YOU say no.
In vain Betty tried to beg off Molly
had i all nicely arranged in her mind.
Betty must wait to enlist the aid of
Molly's father and Molly had deter
mined Betty should wear that gown
and that was all there was to it,
| What woman ever successfully elud-
ed the subtle fascination o. fine clothes,
! or. having preserved consistent in
difference to dress, what woman in the
end ever regarded her course as sue
cessful9
| Surely Eve studying the possibilities
| o. that first ilg leaf, in her heart must
] hive felt she had compensation even
/ for the loss OF Eden. Heneeforth She
and her daughters through all the
flight Of time -weul have an interest
all her own an interest that Adam
might parallel, but when he could new
/ err invade.
Ne wonder there is no record to
show Tint Eve ever tried to slip back
past the Eden Waterman and his flam-
in sword. That old Garden possessed
Icertain uadeniable advantages, but
Adam. with the help o. all the angels,
couid not have taken Mother Eve back
again once she had set that FIG leaf
iflutterin eternally down the corridors
of woman's interest.
And what daughter of Eve since then
ever has faced sorrow SO sharp. A
disappointment SO bitter that clothes
could take nothing from the keen edge
/ of the hurt?
Molly had her way. AT first Betty
Blake was massive figure in the pre-
parations, but before Molly, ably as
sisted by her skilful maid, had COM
ipleted the dressing Of her friends hair,
Rettyis interest began to grow. When
at last she stepped before the tall mir
rof and saw herself transformed, de-
spit her Worries Betty Blake could
not restrain a little sigh of delight and
the color CAME prettily into cheeks
that but a moment before had hung
out lale signs OF tha perturbation
within her mind.
