dozen couples were dancing in the
cleared space in the middle of the
floor. 1t was about as thrilling as
the Home Restaurant" at the cor
ner of Main and State streets back
home.
Every one seemed to think that a
splendid joke had been pulled off
and mirth waxed mighty when Dick
West pointed out large front en-
trance brightly lightly and presided
over by two crouching stone drag
ons.
we could have come in that
way" he laughed. Il just put in all
that travelling to-make it harder"
And every one seemed to enter
into the spirit of his adventure
Phoebe most of all. But L was
thinking of the hints Envy had
thrown out about Virginias ex-
travagance-or the intimate way
she and Phoebe had stood together
in the dressing room of the Ro-
chambeau-but most of all, l was
thinking of the way Phoebe had
piled that pernicious little lip-stick.
So l didn't enter whole
into the spirit of things.
1t was Envy who noticed this
first. She leaned across Tom and
spoke to me in a rallying tone:
Tom, do be nicer to your Donna
Anna. She's as pale as Phoebe used
to be before l taught the baby to
rouge bit. Are you bored, dear, or
is it just that you don't like the
way the West family is monopoliz-
ing the Harrisons? You know jim
is rich now" she giggled, you can't
expect him to forego the spice of life
now that he can afford it. They're
an eXtravagant lot, the Harrisons,
with emotions or money or flirta-
tions. Watch my little pupil,
Phoebe"
Evvy's eyes met mine mockingly,
challengingly. And suddenly Pat
Dalton's warning fiared out in my
memory.
The war gave her the privilege
of breaking her engagement to Jim.
But if know Envy, she'll try to get
even. Your brother and Phoebe may
be her way"
Phoebe was changed. sadly
changed. Was Envy deliberately
setting out to cheaper her stand
ards? And why was Virginia so
blind to it all?

i, Everyone says that if Pat had struck
his gait sooner"
Jim's tone was ice and iron when
he interrupted:
Evelyn, we're out on a pleasure
party and you are my' guest. Don't
make me forget it,
Tom laughed out reply that
sounded comfortable and intimate,
yet somehow made me shudder more
than all Evvy's malice.
Look here, cousin mine-'tis time
for pussy to realize she's grown up
and that her claws are long and
strong-and scratchy. OF course
we're a chummy little group and
we can knock each other, but you
needn't go making a fool of your
self over the fact that Wee Dalton
is beautiful enough to turn a few
heads beside Pat Dalton's-even
brother Jimmie's here. Funny. Jim,
how the only pretty woman in the
world who's willing to give other
pretty women breathing space is our
Donna Anna here-isn't it?"
"Oh, Anne's jealous too-aren't
you, girlie?" replied Jim easily

l squirmed. Evidently l hadn't
been a really courteous hostess, and
Jim felt SO at home with Tom and
Envy that he could reprove me gent
ly in their presence.
l was glad when we stopped a
moment later and Dick West came
to our cab window to announce that
we must walk the rest of the way.

fireless cooker and a cleaning wo-
man who came for a couple of hours
daily.
1t was difficult at first, as she had
had very little training In the do
mestic arts. but after she began to
use her brains and systematize
things much of the housekeeping
became automatic.
The hardest thing in those first
years of her marriage was that she
had no time to keep up with fadS
that seemed to her more important
than they really were-not fads in
clothes and furniture and diet, but
intellectual fads that appeared to be
world movements.
Her sister, for instance, belonged
to coterie of women that changed
their fads as often as they did their
hats, and 1T gave my friend a strand
ed feeling at first not to be able to
take part in these various exotic
hobbies.
There was the wonderful Swami
for instance-the East Indian i'm the
highly becoming turban, whom they
got in to direct their thought and
teach them how to grow" 1t
seemed this cocoa-colored gentle
man could Danish age by keeping
one serene and compel" all man
ner of blessings and prosperity by
directing the thoughts of his circle.
My correspondent felt like a poor
benighted worm because she hadn't
the time to join this magic circle.
But what could a poor girl do with
| the baby to look after, the dinner
! to get and the various other house
hold chores to claim her attention.
In the meantime her sister and her
friends were soaring above such
sordid details into the realms of
truth"
1T seems funny now, but those
days it came near being a real
tragedy. l wanted to keep abreast
of things, and l had to wash out
little flannel shirts and not forget
the fireless cooker entirely.
MY husband played golf at a
| nearby course on Saturday after
moons, but he could never finish up
! at the clubhouse life with the rest of
the men because there was always
good deal of treating, and one
can't treat with a mortgage hang
ing over ones head.
And in spite of everything the
Swami and his thought and the
game of golf without the convivial
climax. we were preparing to re-
duce the mortgage by a thousand
dollars at the end of the first three
and half years.
When the mortgage was actu-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-02-27

ally reduced it didn't seem as if
such happiness could be possible.
This hideous scrap of paper that
had to be cajoled, sacrificed to and
slaved for in and out of season had,
after all, made these two young
people the best of friends. 1t had
put both of them on their metal
and neither had been found want
ing. They came through the ordeal
chums and that was better than the
thousand dollars.
Kept Husband Abstemious
In the meantime, as she said, 'it
kept my husband abstemious, while
that virtue was not entirely easy
for him. And it not only kept me
from the Swami and his higher fool
ishness, but it saved me from a
number of other fads as well.
My sister and her friends are
still pursuing these intellectual
phantoms, two of them have become
divorced, and the rest are rather an
uneasy lot. and as far as prosperity
is concerned, we have caught up
with them long ago."
In this kind of marriage where
genuine responsibility is shared by
both of the partners, there is no
time for those reactions where the
wife becomes convinced that she
does not feel toward her husband
exactly the way she felt toward
her sweetheart, and if there is too
much leisure to think about it, she
is apt to conclude that she does not
love him and that she has made the
mistake of her life in marrying him.
Now that mortgage of three thou
sand five hundred dollars with
which these two young people be-
gan life prevented this sort of in
trospection. They were buying a
home, and the big, important thing
in their lives was to get it paid for,
not the hrill-producing power of
the husbands step on the stairs.
And as for the soulmate business,
| they just couldn't afford such cavi-
Art was as out of the question
as hothouse peaches in January
would have been.
My correspondent concludes that,
while the mortgage had been paid
so long as to be forgotten, and they
have moved into far more pros
porous home, they always think of
the mortgage and those first years
with a genuine affection.

A Home Made Gray
Hair Remedy
You Can Make at Home a Better
Gray Hair Remedy Than
You Can Buy

Gray, streaked or faded hair is not
only unbecoming, but unnecessary.
You can darken it without using a
dye.
ANY one can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, and make
it soft and glossy. To a half pint of
water add l ounce OF bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound and
Il ounce of glycerine. These ingre-
dients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost, or the drug
gist will put it up for you. Apply
to the hair twice a week until the
desired shade is obtained. This will
make gray haired person look
twenty years younger. 1t is not a
dye, it does not color the most deli
cate scalp; is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off,"

A Simple Way to
Remove DandruH

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that Is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
Just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need),
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
It, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy. lus-
trous, glossy. silky and soft. and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.

Advice to the Lovelorn
By Mc[2dnus
HOW DEAL WITH JEALOUSY?

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am engaged to a girl of my own
age. twenty. She is always jealous
when l speak to other girls in her
presence. Now she has threatened
to break our acquaintance if she
ever sees me speak to any girl again.
She herself always speaks to boys.
I'd like you to advise me what to do,
as / dearly love that girl.
b. S. G..
This is a very painful matter to
handle, but you must not make the
mistake of agreeing to what your
sweetheart so mistakenly demands.
She ought not to wish you to con-
duct yourself otherwise than pleas
antly and civilly to any girls that
you meet. Would it be possible for
you to have frank talk with her
on the subject of jealousy, so as to
help her to overcome it, or il not.
can't you get some older person to
talk to her?
