CHAPTER TX

Louise followed her mother into
the library. She had curiously, the
same guilty, scared feeling she used
to have as a small girl, when she
was caught doing mischief. Yet she
knew she had a perfect right to
marry when she chose. She was of
age, and her choice was certainly
not a hasty one. But the feeling
persisted in spite of her reasoning.
Mrs Driscom stared into the fire
for a long time and Louise waited.
Finally the woman spoke!
Il suppose you really intend to
do it then?"
IF you mean marrying Harry,
yes" the girl answered.
And l suppose it's useless to point
out to you how foolish you are"
her mother went on
Louise felt the implied slur to her
beloved and flushed with resent
ment. She spoke more sharply
than she ever had to her mother
"Of course 1 don't think it's
foolish There's no non anywhere
nicer than Harry"
"They all think that at your age
particularly while they are in
fatuated," Mrs. Driscom said, and
there was a note Of bitterness in
her voice, as well as of impotence.
However, I'm not questioning
Harry's ~'niceness.' You would be
no more foolish marrying him than
any other boy equally young, and
equally poor"

My Advice To My Daughter
Keep Up to Date---People Who Live in
the Past Grow Old in Spirit if Not in Body
BY KITTY GORDON

Dear Vera:
The old-time days when a woman
didn't know anything about baseball
or politics and only read the society
and home cooking departments in
the daily newspapers, are dead and
buried.
Today is the day of the wide
awake, alert, keen woman who is as
familiar with affairs of the moment
as any man and who is just as able
to talk intelligently on literature, the
stage, or international affairs as any
body.
Remember this, my dear, and
whatever else you do keep right up
to-date.
The best way to keep up-to-date
and to know what's doing and why
it's doing is by reading the daily
newspapers. Read them thoroughly,
and If there's anything in them you
don't understand, find out about it
by consulting the public library.
Pay particular attention to the
business departments in the paper.
Every woman nowadays must be
more or less of a business woman.
If h is a housewife she has to be a
good business woman to make her
household money buy the most it is
possibly capable in these days of high
prices. If she is an office worker she
has to be familiar with business
routine, with the methods of filing
correspondence and many other de-
tails of business. If she is on the
screen she must be familiar with
contracts and al. that sort of stuff.
So you see, my dear, how essential it
Is for a modern woman to be familiar
with business operations.
Keeping u~p-to-date keeps one
young, too. People who continually
live in the past, who are always REM
iniscing about the lear old days.
rapidly lose interest in the present.
And, once having lost interest in the
present. one soon to feel that
the best of life has been lived. And
that means you're getting very, very
old in spirit if not in body.
Keep up-to-date. 1t is one of the
very best ways to get the utmost out
of life.
Your devoted mother,

lived in Certeis' house when 1 was
there.
"WeI?" 1 said. Let me see-your
name-Is-Berghoff?" l drawled out
my words indifferently to counterbal-
ance my uneasiness.
With a low bow, he replied:

would be interested in my observa-
tons made while in DR.. Certeis' SER

ably a German aristocrat, trained
from his boyhood as q professional
spy.
Doubtless he had been Certeis'
friend and trusted agent while acting
as his butler.
But why had he taken employment
at the Miller's2
I walked across the path and picked
some bitter-sweet berries from the
vines on the fence, weighing the man
rapidly. The result of my valuation
stood thus: He had sought employ
ment at the Miller's in order to watch
the Lorimers next door: he was still

No information was too meager to

no incident too trivial to pass

even abduction, too dreadful for him
to undertake.

voice when she answered was even
more chilled than usual.
Possibly not, but it's apt to last
longer than this headstrong affec-
ton. At least it car give you the
material comforts of life"
Had she thought, Mrs. Driscom
would have known that this was
the last thing to say to. her daughter.
Louise was all youth and all love
at-the moment. She was intoxicated
with 1t, and she was as thoroughly
romantic by nature as any 18-year
old girl. This was the sentimental
crisis of her life, and like all other
young girls. she was unconsciously
revealing in it. This was the COM
ing to life of every novel she hao
ever read.
Mrs. Driscom realized too late
that she was playing the traditions

unwise. SO she was not surprised
at Louise sudden outbreak.

cried. That's just the trouble.

I've had so many clothes I couldn't

either-till I met Harry"

believe a word her mother had said
about the necessity of money in a
true love match. She wondered
miserably what was being said be-

In the uniform of girl scout, Leila,
now twelve, had been found soliciting
contributions from guests at the Hotel
Commodore. Mrs. Hastings disappeared
after she had posted bail of $1O0 for

day for her arrest as fugitive from

Meanwhile the child had told Off
