alone VIII you go with me?"
"Of course, dear. I'll bring my
/ little car around for you in the
rand and then have a bite of lunch
together" agreed ENVY with ready
sweetness.
That sweetness didn't fail her
when she bade Betty good night.
Never had l seen Betty more dis
tant than she was to Envy and
Carlotta Sturges, but both she and
Terry were cordial to Pat Dalton.
The man had undoubted charm.
And oddly enough l found myself
pitying him in spite of his splendid
good looks, high spirits and his air
of having at least money enough to
patronize the best of tailors and
belong to the most exclusive club in

well bred and charming. OF course
if it annoys you I'll cut him-but
he seems a very decent chap. What's
wrong?"
Jim's voice cut through the dark
ness like a keen knife: Dalton
happens to be the husband of my
sister Virginia. She has left him.
Virginia is a proud woman-the
thing must torture her. She has
been in the West for year. She
gets back tomorrow or next day.
l don't want her flicked on the raw
by hearing my friends speak Of
him"
The sentences were wrung from
him one at a time.
Captain Winston was English
enough to be rather helpless in the
fact of so much emotion.
"Oh, by JoVe, old chap" he cried
in inarticulate fashion.
But Betty saved the day.
Jimmie, old pal, neither Terry
nor 1 would dream of making friends
with a man who had hurt you and
yours. This Dalton man doesn't
count. You'll let me meet-Virginia
soon, won't you, lad?"
Betty always knew just what to
say. l could feel Jim's tense muscles
relaxing. In a wave of misery it
came over me that 1 hadn't before
known anything about Virginia save
that she and Phoebe, youngest of
the Harrisons, were travelling in the
West. This first glimpse of my hus-
bands family had been shared with |
Betty and Captain Winston.
And he realized my feelings-or |
better still, because he |
needed me to share his-Jim |
reached out and took my hand in |
both of his. I nestled in against !
mis- shoulder and set my lips, with |
sudden idolatry, on the hand that
lay above mine.
In the course of bitterness and un- |
nappiness-out of the gloom of the |
night il seemed that perfect mo-
nent had been given to Jim and me. |

Chapter XXXVH

While I sat waiting for Evelyn
Mason to break up the dinner party
she had arranged with such mysti-
fying results a new terror assailed
me-who would pay the check? ?
That Jim would not be Mr.. Dalton's
guest was certain that Evelyn and
Neal would scarcely permit Terry
Winston TO take the bill stood to
reason. And felt sure that neither
my husband nor my brother had
money enough TO pay for this lavish
repast.
But Evvy's generalship took care
of the situation. First she turned
to Neal and disposed of the drink
problem-greatest of my worries.
"Laddie, two glasses is my limit
and the man who is driving home
with me can't have drop more,
either. I think more is in bad taste
don't you?"
And Neal, with a great air of So
cial wisdom, agreed! wished she
had said all drinking was undesira-
BILE, but I could see that she knew
how TO manage Neal.
Her next move was to announce
that Pat Dalton could have the
check for his wine and pay the tip
along with il.
The dinner was taken care OF
long ago, boys; no scoldins about
that" she said. And now let's
run along. for l hate to drive in
with the early dawn"
Then Envy rose with calm assur-
ance. and led the way to the dress
ing room. There Carlotta Sturges'
evident desire to chat with Betty
made il easy for me to manage a
few minutes alone with Evelyn.
The whole party was horrid-
and 1 did so want to give you a good
time, DEAR" she whispered, slipping

Advice to the LOvelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SHALL SHE BECOME ENGAGED.
II

SHALL SHE BECOME ENGAGEDs
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l have a daughter II. Recently 1
invited several soldiers to my home to
make things pleasant for them. One
of them became very much interested
in my daughter and since then they
have been together a great deal. They
love each other dearly and he is al
ways very kind and courteous to me.
l know the kind of family this young
man comes from and l am very fond
of him. He and my daughter wish
to become engaged and have asked my
consent. They do not intend to be
married until the war is over and
until he can support her. Am l right
in giving my consent? My friends say
l am entirely wrong, but my daugh-
ter is a sensible girl and / know she
loves this young man dearly.
AN ANXIOUS MOTHER
If the young people do not intend
to be married until after the war, it
seems to me highly prudent arrange
ment and one to which you could
hardly object, as you say the young
man is in every way worthy. Many
of my correspondents ask advice, in
regard to marrying before the war is
over, and this means financial con-
sideration which must be adjusted ac-
cording to income and prospects. But
this case is entirely different and in
wolves no responsibility until the
young soldier returns.

How 1t Can Be Avoided and Treated. Simple Rules to Be
Followed. No Occasion for Panic

No need of anyone being afraid
of the after effects and slow recov-
ering from Spanish Influenza, ahrd
colds or GGrippe, if they will use
common sense and start in build
ing up their health and strength the
right way.
The main thing is to get the blood
rich, red, and pure, so it can carry
life-giving oxygen and strength to
every part of the body. Impure
blood is the cause of so many slow
recoveries and set-backs.
Doctors say: Get the blood right
and the rest is easy. that nine-tenths
of all sickness is due to lack of iron
and phosphates; the healthy strong,
vigorous man or woman's blood Is
always loaded with these two life
giving elements.
Physicians also claim with fresh
air and nourishing food nothing

ed Iron takes hold from the first
dose. Results are seen and felt;
strength returns, food digests, appe-
tite picks up, sleep is restful, there
is color in the cheeks and a spar
kle to the eye that only blood
charged with iron and phosphates
can give.
1t is the duty of everyone who has
had Spanish Influenza, Grippe or a
hard cold to build up their system
with natures tonic, Phosphated Iron.
1t sure is health protection. Safety
first. The results will repay YOU
many times. Give yourself a show.

Bear With Us Until The End Of The Week

You surely don't want to prevent or de-
lay any telephone calls that will aid the
sick. We have only enough operators to
take care of essential calls.
Many persons realize this and are CO.
operating with us for while longer, while
this terrible epidemic lasts. But some are
still apparently unaware Of the great
stress. When such persons persist in tele-
phoning for minor matters of small i'm
port we are compelled to deny service,
that the community at large may be as
sured of telephone service when it is
seriously needed.
The Board of Health has recommended
this action, and it is your duty, in your
home or business place, to see that none
but necessary calls are made.

Quiet on British
Front.

On the British front things were
generally quiet though Haig's troops
again took prisoners in successful
raids at various points.
A pause has set in on the Albanian
theater. the Franco-Italian troops be-
ing busily engaged consolidating their
gains and establishing communica-
tions over the difficult hilly terrain
across which they have driven the
Austrians in the direction OF the
Skumbi River.
The fall of Berat has not yet been
officially confirmed in the Rome dis
patches. Altogether the Italians took
1.s00 prisoners including 81 officers.
The opposing forces have established
battle contact to the north of the
Semeni River. and a resumption Of
large-scale fighting is expected mo-
mentarily.
The Paris correspondent OF Univer-
sal Service reports a general expecta-
ton by the French experts Of the
new German drive now almost over
due.
German airplanes are conspicuous
by their absence, usually a sign Jf
concentration for a big battle.
Some 100 German divisions are be-
lieved to be now in line on the west
front between Switzerland and the
sea, and Ludendorff il supposed to
have about eighty divisions In re-
serve including 35 really fresh di-
visions. There is a belief in some
quarters that Ludendorff Is again
waiting for the full moon which
helped him so materially in the
March offensive. Northern winds
also would aid the opening of an
offensive. for they are a most ef-
fective ally OF poison gas.
