was very good OF you. my friend, to re-
spond in such cordial way and very
magnanimous OF you to make that little
concession about the sex equality ques-
tion.
I'll agree with you it is rather queer
to have n friend whom one has never
seen, but, all the same, don't you think
there is just bit of delightful mystery
about it? Just think, you may be the
tall, handsome young man who picks
up my glove in the subway, or, again.
you may be the soda clerk With n gold
tooth md misplaced eyebrow. AS to
Judy" she may be the stylish miss
who trips past You on Chestnut street,
or-horrible thought she may be the
fat girl with the pug nose who chews
gum and giggles in the seat next to you
in the movies.
Life is full of strange condolences,
and some day, perhaps, the fates who
weave the threads of our destinies may
chance to tangle mine with yours. Who
knows?
At any rate, let us hear from you
again. I'm sure that other readers be-
sides myself have derived pleasure from
reading your cheerful and interesting
letters. Your friend, JUDY.

SCLNDERELLAiS DAUGHTER"
by HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
copD-aoht, 1910, BY Public LEDGER Co.

Anderson, Just interested She came
into the long drawing room in n simple
white gown and she was very sweet and
n little shy. He, too, felt awkward and
Ill at ease, and ghastly silences kept
coming between them when they sat
tongue tied and not able to say any
thing to each other.
Lets go up to the sorority room,
he suggested finally in desperation.
Virginia smiled. We can't. It's
against the rules, excepting on special
occasions.
But this Is awful" he protested
with an agonized look at Miss Patten,
who sat in the next room embroidering
on tan linen dolly of some kind. Miss
pntten loved to chaperone, and for that
reason she was one of the most disa-
greeable of all the "watchdogs,' as the
girls called them. She loved to cast
long looks Mt the uncomfortable girl and
boy in the next room, hoping against
hope that she might see some surrepti-
tious move, not understanding that it
was her very act of watchfulness that
prevented anything of the kind from
every really happening.
Needless to say the call was not n
success. but it did serve to make Jimmy
more eager than ever to know Virginia.
She was so hcdged about with conven =
tions and rules and she was so utterly
unlike any girl he had ever known
that he believed himself genuinely in
love. Bill Lyons was Jimmy's room
mate and in the next few days after this
call, Bill listened to great deal of
talk about Virginia. Bin was quiet
man. He came from small town in
Pennsylvania and the women he had
known were of the quiet. dependable
type. This was Bills first year at Grant.
a small legacy from an uncle had en-
abled him to enter Grant as a senior,
and so far he had seen very few girls.
A woman like Kathleen took his breath
away and because he was shy and not
like the other boys she had known
Kathleen was interested. Besides he was
wonderful to look at, he was six feet

SYNOPSIS

bAANOh hJhA7
Virginia West at boarding school,
forms lasting friendship with Kath
ieen Foster, very attractive but
very selfish girl. The very differences
in their natures attract the two girls
to each other, and in spite of the fact
that Kathleen is always doing things
that Virginia feels are not right, she
still feels that underneath Kathleen
is quite perfect. Though Kathleen
Virginia has met n man who interests
her, Jimmy Anderson. Kathleen Is
the type of n girl who never is salts
fied unless n dozen or more men ad-
mire her. but she, too. hns begun to
show nm especial feeling for Bill
Lyons.
HOWEVER, Virginia need not have
IL worried about Jimmy. For the
first time in his very variable young life
he had met girl he felt was different
She would not let him hold her hand,
she would not break rules to meet him
and go driving. Jimmy thought of her
as something precious, something very
much to be desired. something remote
and cool, and she fired his hot young
blood hy her reticence far more than
she would hnve if she had shown her
self too enger If Virginia had but
known it she was adopting the tactics
that very much older women is ac-
customed to use, tactics that college men
accustomed to having girls eager for
their favors are not used to.
Jimmy Anderson thought about Vir-
ginia great deal and endowed her with
all kinds of qualities. He finally de-
cided that if he could not see her as
he had managed to see the other girls
that he would actually brave the tor =
lures of one of those faculty -chaperoned
calls, and he did call on Virginia one
evening.
She had hugged her secret to her
breast. not telling even Kathleen that
he was to come. She could not bear to
be jeered at and teased and further
more, she was not in love with Jimmy

two and his mop OF blonde hair above
his hnming blue eyes would have at
tracted any girl. To tell the truth Kath-
lecn was more proud of his looks than
OF anything else.
During the few weeks that elapsed
between the giving of the school play
and the Christmas holidays Kathleen
wns more than ordinarily sweet to Nir-
ginia. Most of the younger girls faith
in the other came back. and in conse-
quence her love aud loyalty dccpcnet
1t was almost as though their friend
ship had been perfected. or it would
have been if Kathleen had not been
playing n little gnmc She was going
home with Virginia for the holidays
and she knew that il would be n good
opportunity to do MS she pleased for
an entire week. Kathleen. with her
ready charm, had no fcnr at all of the
impression she would make on Mrs.
West, Nirgnia's mother. She did not
realize that Mrs. West still thought of
Virginia as n little girl and that any
friend of Virginia. s would naturally BE-
thought of in the same way.
The night before the girls were to
leave they were talking cxcitcdly.
-, is Jimmy coming to see you during
the holidays?" Kathleen asked suddenly
Virginia bushcd. "Hc wants to. "
Well. you're going to let him.
aren't you? have asked Bill to come.
He's going to be in town with Jimmy
for the holidays"
Virginia looked at the pin glittering
on Kathlcen's crumpled linen dress,
and tho color suddenly spread in waves
UP to the very roots of her dark hair.
1t was the first time she had ever
thought of wearing Jimmy's fraternity
pin.

Your child is like no other child in the world
He has his own peculiar taste and need for both
physical and mental food. Some kinds of food
agree with him and some do not. THE BOOK
OF KNOWLEDGE is the right kind of nourish-
ing food for the child's mind during the growing
years. Give your child this remarkable, original
work, and watch carefully which of the 16 Great
Departments interest him most. Nature, Science,
History, Biography, Astronomy, Physiology, Art,
Literature, Poetry, or Manual Training. 1t will
prove THE KEY to his natural bent, and the
