Ruth shot back glance Of indis-

She told him abe did not thlak the

admitted that no had been rather
clumsy.

Julius tried to make some stand for
himself and mumbled something about
the impossibility for a girl 20 pretty
AZ Ruth was, to live with the freedom
Of Q young bachelor and then Ruth
went of again on q spirited defense
Of Amy Nair and her own position.
'That's Just It. Women have to take
their place In the world and work as
hard az men. It's Just q wOrn-Out
prejudice that makes you think that
there are certain things woman may
do and certain things man may do.

The conversation drifted back to less
heated topics and an hour later when
Julius finally left he was In q state
Of mental confusion. One thing he
was sure Of, however. and that was
that he was completely In love with
Ruth and that in spite Of the fact that
she hadn't yet begun to fiirt with him.
Then Julius asked Ruth to supper
in his rooms. In the interval they
hadn't mentioned the subject Of their
heated discussion. And Mt half past
seven Ruth found herself seated be-

In his bachelor apartment-Julius

gown at the other side Of the fender.
From the book pocket at the side Of
his chair he pulled out ball of yarn
and half finished soldiers mufiler

not at all easily but still in measure
effectively. Ruth's eyes opened wide.

then 40 she met Julius eyes she
paused and changed the subject.
Presently Julius excused himself to
get supper. He had left his man of.
he said, 20 he could give Ruth a sam
pie Of his cooking and after supper
he donned an apron and cleared away
the dishes and remained long enough
In the kitchen to tell Ruth that he had
been washing the dishes. He dotted on
that sort Of thing. he told her.
At ten Ruth rose to 60. tive been
awfully glad to have you here" he
told her. making no move to 60 and
don his coat and hat to see her home.
"It's so seldom one finds girl that
will come and spend an evening with
q man like this. I hope you'll come
often" Ruth paused - said go0dby
and started out. A second later she
returned. She asked Julius to call Q
taxi. She said she didn't like to 20
through the streets alone at that time,
Amy Nair says It IL rather danger
GUS for Q girl alone" But there were
two tears in her eyes as she returned
and julius. with coat and hat on ready
to follow her, was quick to see them
He put Q protecting arm around hel
shoulder % they started out together
" know you're Just been teasing me
IL know you don't usually knit Of
wear 0 lowered dressing gown" she
said. .And didn't In the least want
to come alone to see you, but didn't
want to refuse after all I'd said. WHY

\ Because ! was Q little Jealous
| said Julius. "Jealous Of Amy Nair
She has taught you q good deal Of
good sense and some foolishness."
And before they had reached ANY

julius that she loved him and hat
consented to be his wife.
