CHAPTER Nv

CHAPTER ~
I have failed Jim! This sentence
Keeps ringing over and over in my
head: II have failed jim"
There is no excuse for me.
Four days ago 1 married the man ]
love better than any other being on
earth, and tonight-tonight by be-
having like an awkward school girl
with stupid prejudices and ungra-
cious manners-I have shamed him be-
| for his friends.
Cen l find any excuse for myself?
When we came through the terrac-
ed courtyard of Towers-by-the-
Sea to the great oval room crowded
with tier upon tier and ring upon
ring of laughing. shouting human be-
ings / felt as If all the three e-ringed
circuses in the world had been con-
gregated in one spot and were COM
peting against each other to make
more noise than any human being
ever before had heard. 1t fairly
deafened me and made me dizzy.
Have you never been here?" Jim
seemed amused by my shrinking and
.the way clung to his arm.
l felt as if 1 were accused of some
horrid crime and misdemeanor-prim
and unpopular, undesirable.
well, you see." I hesitated. i've
only lived in New York three years,
and he Haldane's magazine crowd
doesn't exactly fit in with these-in-
terror decorations"
Jim gave my arm a quick squeeze
and laughed:
: '"They are interior decorations
Their materials are champagne and
guinea hen and strawberries out of
season. You have a way of sizing
people up, little Princess"
A Cutting Remark
Just at first we couldn't find Betty
Bryce's table. My heart beat fast
perhaps we would not be able to To-
cate her in that great hurly-burly!
But Jim turned to a waiter who led
us to our party. That waiter seemed
either very much impressed or very
much amused because we were friends
of Mrs. Bryce.
Tommy and Jack couldn't walt
they had party on over at Marcels
and of course they wanted me to
precious children"
"Oh, why didn't you go?" 1 began
eagerly-but Jim's hurried face stop
ped me.
The deprecating "poached egg" ex-
preston on Miss Moss's face changed
to puzzled one. but Mrs. Bryce re-
mained charming.
Dear child, it's sweet of you not
to want me to miss any jolly times,
but I'm twice as fond of Jimmie as
of Tommy and Jack together, and
besides dear, 1 wanted to know you.
There's no escaping me once l decide
I'm going to be your friend"
why do you think you're going to
be my friend?" I demanded. wide
eyed. 81 haven't done one thing that

at your GOODNESS. She is one of the
best friends ever had"
And now she'll hate me. I sup
poser"
"oh. no-she's too big and splendid
for that. Don't worry about it. GOOD
night dear"
There was no good night kiss
Long after the regular breathing
from the little four poster next tc
mine told me that Jim was asleepi
lay sitting my sobs in my pillow.
Has Jim married the wrong sort OF
woman? Am l going to be a handicap
to him? Is he sorry-sorry he didn't
choose a queenly person like Betty
Bryce. instead of his poor, awkward
frightened little princess Anne?
1 lay wide-eyed and lonely in the
darkness. wondering what daylight
would bring.

Canning and Packing For Win
ter's Use Explained in Detail by
National War Garden Experts.
CANNING LIMA BEANS


Lima beans should be canned the
same day on which they are picked.
This point is covered fully in the
canning and drying book which the
National War Garden Commission,
Washington, will send to you on re-
quest. A 2-cent stamp to cover post
age should be enclosed.
The beans should be in prime con-
dition, and shelled and sorted care
fully. The large ones are often
canned for succotash. After shelling
DO not wash. Blanch five minutes.
Cold dip and pack in jars, taking
care not to break the skins. Broken
beans will cause a cloudiness in the
liquid. Add one level TEASPOON salt
to each quart and pour in boiling
water to cover. Put on rubber and
top and adjust top bail, or screw on
top with thumb and little finger.
Sterilize $50 minutes in hot water
bath or 60 minutes at five to ten
pounds steam pressure. Remove,
seal tight at once and cool The
commission will be glad to answer
any questions written on one side of
the paper and sent in a self-address-
I'd stamped envelope.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A SECRET MARRIAGE


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
| am Is and have made the great
mistake of secretly marrying after
an acquaintance of only one month.
[ have had a good long talk with
my husband regarding our future, but
he is determined about our living
apart and things remaining as they
are.
Shall l speak to his folks or my
folks about it? 1 do not need his sup
port.
CLAIRE K.
dare say there is no use scolding
you now that you have done this very
foolish thing of making a secret mar
riage. 1 don't quite see your hus-
bands point of view in insisting on
keeping the affair secret, partfcu-
larly as it is against your better
judgment
1 believe I'd take some member of
my family into my confidence, prefer
ably your mother. -t--. --s-

HELP HIM
nnn nrrcc.

DEAN MISS fAlhf AA.
am Is and for a year have been
corresponding with young man now
in the service. He has been a close
friend of the family for years. Our
letters became very interesting and
affectionate. A couple of months ago
he was on a long furlough. called to
see me often and we grew very fond
of each other. l had not one thing
against him. in fact, l thought him
almost perfect, his actions toward
myself, mother and sisters were be-
yond reproach, until a few days ago
he called. and to my astonishment I
detected the odor of liquor on him and
very soon found out that he had some
with him. This -sickened me so that
wrote and told him I would have
nothing more to do with him. Since
then he has begged me to forgive him.
as he loves me dearly and was sorry
to have caused me one moments un-
happiness. Now. l think a great deal
of this young man and want to ask
you this question: Shall 1 give him
another chance?"
MADELINE.
OF course, give him another chance.
First of all IL isn't fair to condemn
anybody for one mistake or to refuse
him the chance to make good. Per-
haps If you deny this young man his
opportunity you will actually drive
him deeper into the throes of his bad
habit OF course, l would never want
any woman to marry a man who was
slave to the drink habit; and no
girl who has seen the sorrow drink
can bring into a home would risk it.
But your lad is young. and with your
help will probably conquer his temper.
Why not help him. my dear? Continue
your friendship. Some day. when you
have helped him make strong. brave
man of himself, you may consider the
more serious question of love.

DON'T APPEAR TOO EAGER

DFAh MISS FIAITN II ~
Kindly advise me in this matter: A
gentleman made an appointment with
me a week ago. and when he called
at the appointed, time, informed me
that he was sorry, but had to work
that night. He did not, however
make another engagement and am
beginning to think 1t was just an ex-
cuse.
Do you think, If he invites me out
again, that I ought to go. or do you
out with him? For care for him, but
do not want him to know it.
1t will be all right for you TO ac-
cept the next invitation, II you care
make an effort to see him till he took
the first steps. He will appreciate you
more IL you are not too eager.
