encouragement and her CHEEKY ex-
hortations not to worry. She has
met misfortune bravely and smiled
at lack. But now that the purse is
full she wants the strings loosened.
He. on the other hand, is a bit of
pessimist, 1 fancy-inclined to wor-

These differences of disposition are
the very things that have drawn
them together and also they are the
very things that are driving them
apart. If they go on discussing this
question, there is no possibility of
their agreeing; for neither can ever
hope to see the matter from the
others standpoint. There is only one
way to meet any problem that comes
to any of us in life. And that is, to
look tit from a detached angle. to
eliminate for the time being all senti-

all the good. plain commonsense that
one is capable of.
Apart from it's other phases, mar

must be so, because money has to be
provided and disbursed by the two
people contracting 1t. And since
money is the cause of so many dis
agreements, these can be practically
obviated by applying to the use of it
the ordinary partnership rules and
regulations that obtain in business.
In business firm the senior part

as wasteful and eXtravagant in his

How shall we go down 2

How shall we go DOWN."
"Oh, 1 don't care, dear" Helen
returned. She was too happy at the
prospect of a trip to Coney to worry
about how they went. Warren had
come home from the office hot and
tired and had suggested that they
go down there and have a shore din
ner. Helen had not been to Coney
Island in several years, and the
memory of her last trip fingered in
her mind.
Somehow there was a casting off
of conventional trappings about 60
ing down there. One must perforce
accept the standards of the good
natured crowd that is always to be
found at Coney and there is a cam
araderie about its unmistakable at
mosphere that is not to be found
anywhere else.
We'll go down by boat, then; it's
coolest, and we can come back any
way we like"
Helen dressed simply in a white
linen coat and skirt. After they
had started she wished vaguely that
She had suggested asking another
couple. Four made the fun so much
better. but as Warren had not
spoken of it, she hesitated about
mentioning a change of plan, and
they secured good seats on a boat
that was not too crowded and pro-
ceeded to enjoy the evening to the
full.
The trip down was cool and the
air was refreshing. The day had
been uncomfortably warm and War
rem enjoyed everything. They had
their shore dinner, took in some
rides where Warren chuckled and
Helen screamed and were ready to
come back at 8 o'clock.
That's what 1 call a regular even
ing" Warren said contentedly as
they strolled aling toward the boat
The trip down had been so thor
oughly enjoyable that they had de-
cided to return the same way and
Helen was looking forward to a
lovely cool ride in the best part OF
the evening. the crowd was not too
great. Helen and Warren ensconced
themselves comfortably not far from
a party of young people filed to the
brim with life and the enthusiasm
of youth.
Helen observed the girls and boys
with keen enjoyment. 1t always
amused and interested her to study
human nature, and the remarks OF
the crowd, although crude, were
funny in the main.
She turned to Warren after a few
minutes, smiling amusedly only to
meet his face dark as a thunder
cloud.
What's the matter. dear?"
Natter" he retorted, matter
enough. 1 wonder if we are going
to be forced to stand for that pack
of hoodlums all evening""

Kate Sheldon? What an idea!
Why. she has no particular talent
Surely you don't mean Kate Shell
don, the girl who dresses so plain
ly." These were some of the re-
marks heard when Kate was men
toned as having a chance.
Gloria herself, when she heard
Kate's name mentioned, said laugh
ingly:
We'll. I'm going out for this thing
tooth and nail 1 pity the girl or
man who thinks she or he can beat
me to it! And Gloria really believed
what she said. She was imbued with
the Stone assurance and the Stone
egotism-she simply could not fail.
Hadn't she won all her life so far?
Then came a time of hard work,
and Gloria worked hard for this new
piece of of luck that was to estab-
lish her before the world as a winner,
She put forth all her best work in
her picture, but Kate Sheldon did
the same. Kate. who had never had
any luck so far; Kate, who had been
forced by circumstances to work her
way through collAge, to give up her
birthright of leadership because she
hadn't the means and the time to de-
vote to friends. Kate worked as she
had never worked before. Somehow
she felt that IL ever right were to win
out, now was the time. And Kate
Sheldon, unknown, and poor, and
without anything that Gloria Stone
possessed, won the prize!
1t was the most astonishing thing
that had ever happened to Gloria.
1t robbed her of so many things all
at once that she seemed like a diff
ferent girl altogether. But she was
game. Her attitude was perfect. She
congratulated Kate; she made much
of her talent, which was unquestion-
ed. She received condolences out
wardly calm, but within she was a
seething maelstrom of revolt. What
had happened? Where had she fail
ed? Her fathers method of getting
things that she had followed so faith
fully, had failed her, and she had
lost the thing that she wanted most.
But this rebellion did not last long.
After all, Gloria, in spite of inher-
tied traits and personal egotlsm, had
been well educated, and she could
reason. There came a time when her
reason asserted itself, and she began
to realize what her entire life had
been.
Fathers wrong" she admitted
finally. mo one can win and go on
winning forever. Not if there is
keen enough competition. All things
have their ups and downs, and it's
time 1 had mine"
And out of the hardest blow ever
dealt her a new possession came to
Gloria. one that before she had not
considered ecessary-humility.

Enough to disgust any decent man

The laughter and calling back

while to singing. Some of the
couples edged closer together, too
and it was impossible to avoid see-
ing the surreptitious skylarking GO

avoided conversation, for Warren
looked bored and disgusted. 1t was
plain that the evening as far as he

no place at home to see their sweet

Warren. The truth of the matter
was that he hated to be worsted in

no graceful loophole of escape.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

There is no smarter coat for
certain occasions than this one.
1t is ideal for travelling and for
general utility service and it
can be made from serge or from
gabardine, as it is here with
the skirt to match, or it can
be made of one of those ma
terials, of wool jersey, or of
something lighter to be worn
with a separate skirt, light
weight wool velours or Bolivia
cloth, and all these are beautifui
with lining of foulard. There
is, indeed, no more fashionable
nor more practical wrap than

of these materials in dark blue

of blue foulard showing large

She was a snob and, what is more.
she gloried init. Her father back ed
her in everything she did, and many
of his intimate friends said that she
was a chip of the old block. There
never had been anything too big for
Gregory Stone to go after, and when
Gloria was born 1t was her father
who insisted on the name because he
wanted her to have her fathers will.
Gloria's mother died when she was
still baby, and Gregory Stone had
allowed the girl to do as she liked,
encouraging her to spend money,
and instilling the idea into her mind
that there was nothing that money
would not purchase. Gloria was
a charming little girl. She was a
hotheaded schoolgirl, and an AFRO
giant woman. Her father adored her,
and her friends were many, chiefly
because she was a born leader, but
in some instances because her person
ality forced interest. She had many
| enemies, but no one was ever indif-
ferent to her; she inspired either love
or hate almost instantly.
Strange To say, a streak of wild
luck seemed to follow the girl. She
never studied, but things came to
her. and without any trouble. In
cidents and people seemed to group
themselves to suit her without even
expressing a wish. Her beauty was
of kind calculated to make people
turn and stare after her. She was
all color and vividness.
1t. happened in her later college
days that another girl of an ar
resting personality and with great
brilliancy set up little court of her
own, attracting many followers.
She might have been a rival of
Glora's, but she was poor, and after
time her little crowd of devotees
melted over to the other side. But
this girl, with nothing on her side
but what she had in herself to Of
fer to the world, was the one per-
son whose presence in Gloria Stones
life was to influence it.
Kate Sheldon worked her way
through college and entered art
school at the same time Gloria did
No one but the two girls them
selves ever knew that they had ever
known each other, for Gloria was a
snob and Kate did not care one
way or the other. But there was
Just one thing that matteRed to
Gloria as well as to Kate. Both
| girls were artistically inclined. and
both had more than average talent
1t wasn't until the completion be-
tween all classes for the best piece
of work in any medium was Of
fered that Gloria realized for the
hrst time that perhaps she had a
rival. Even then, her followers
laughed the idea to scorn.

Headache Depression?
FROM KIDNEY DISORDERS
By McManus

Indiscretions in eating and drink

times quickly.

sonal expense accounts. Then the re-
mainder should be divided equally
between them. and spent or saved as
each saw fit and without having to
give an account of it to anybody.
1t is that silly old idea of the wife's
dependence of forcing her to ask
for the share that is rightfully hers.
that makes so many embittered wom-
en-. 1t is a profound humiliation to
the spirit of an intelligent woman to
have doled out to her the amount
which husband decides is right and
proper for her to have, without con-
sulting her in the matter.
Women will meet misfortune. lack
and privation undaunted. but IL there
is prosperity they want their fair
share of it. and they want it not as
an indulgence, but as a right. Denied
it, they feel resentment, and, like any
other dependents, they will resort to
petty shifts and evasions and deceits
to get what they regard as theirs.

dow to get into my lungs a very deep
supply of atmosphere and also to
take counsel with myself.
l was just preparing to step from
the window on to a balcony and de-
scend when a movement of human
beings caught my eye upon the side
of that balcony.
A man stood at the rail of the bal
cony in the dim moonlight, and he
was speaking to a woman whom his
broad shoulders hid from me. The
man was tho Gouverneur Faulkner of
the state of HarpSth, and in a mo-
ment discovered the identity of the
lady with him.
And now can't you see, you great
big stupid man, what an opportunity
] have procured for all of you was
the question that came in the soft
voice of the beautiful Madam Patri-
cia Whitworth. "All my life have
worked just to get little ease and
comfort, carrying the burden of JEFF
in his incompetency strapped to my
shoulders, and now you, who know
how I've suffered and slaved, are 60
ing to take it all from me when it is
just within my reach, and all from
no earthly reason than a fancied
scruple of honor which that old dod-
dering woman hater imposes on you.
1 cannot believe that you would so
treat me-" And there were sobs in
her words that were wooing and
compelling.
Il cannot do a thing that my Sec
retary of state and his lawyers de-
clare unconstitutional, Patricia" an
swered the voice of the Gouverneur
Faulkner in which were notes of
pain. You know how it pains me.
/ My God! Don't tempt me to" His
voice shook as l saw the beautiful,
| bare white arms of Madam Whit
worth raise themselves and go about
his neck like great white graphing
hooks from which he was unable to
defend himself.
Am to have nothing from life
no ease or luxury and no-love or"
Her voice ended in sobs as she press
ed her head down into his shoulder
as his arm folded about her to pre-
vent that she should fall.
"Patricie-" the deep voice of the
strong man was beginning to say as
1 was starting to spring forward in
his defense and to do do not know
what-when a firm grasp was laid
upon my shoulder, and L was turned
away from the window into the light
OF the wide hall and found my uncle,
the General Robert, looking down in
| to my flashing eyes with a great and
very cool calmness.
Young man" he said as he gave
| to me very powerful shake, all
women are poison, but some are Wit
rol and others just-oh, well, pare
goric. Go out there and take another
dose of that soothing syrup labeled
Susan Tomlinson before 1 take you
home, and you-keep-awa
-vitrol or I'll-break-your--hot-
young-head! Vitriol, mind you!"
With which command my uncle, the
General Robert, strobe dewn the hall
in the direction of the smoking room
and left me blinking in the lights of
the wide hall..
Then in through the window came
the Gouverneur Faulkner and the
beautiful Madam Whitworth, and
/ from his white face, set in sternness,
I and hers, with its smile of the open
! ing rose upon its red mouth, could
| not tell whether his honor had been
slain or had been spared for another
