DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ am twenty and have known and
gone with young man Of twenty-one
Tor over year. He has been very
attentive TO me. and a week after
meeting me he told me that he loved
me. At frst ] did not feel as il I
cared for him, but as time advanced
! have grown to like him more and
more until now ! love him dearly. OF
late he has been acting very strange
ly- He has broken few engage
ments with me and afterward has
tried TO make up with me 4 few
days ago he told me that he was go
ing to distant city. and I now learn
he was falsely speaking>-that he has
been in this city all along. His &C
tiOns have puzzled me greatly
would like your advice on this sub
jeCt. l do not feel I can forgive him
for all those little Observation-Disclosures
HEARTBROKEN
Misunderstanding" is, l think,
a very gentle term to use. ! do not
think you should go on condoning
the young mans incivility and de-
Ceit. You should really either drop
the acquaintance without expIana-
ton, or give him another chance by
attempting to have a really frank
talk with him with the idea Of dis
covering whether there can possibly
be any legitimate excuse for his ac-
tions.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Copyright, 1919, Star Company
7 is strange how a single small
act will alter the sentiments Of
a man toward a girl he admires.
Undoubtedly there still fingered
somewhere in the depths OF David
De LANES mind some memory OF
the hard feeling he had recently
entertained for Desiree Leighton.
Yet. because OF a kindly word and
an implied apology, he had driven
from his present consciousness the
resentment that had lodged there
an hour or two ago.
When he left Miss Leighton at
her door he smiled brightly as she
remarked that, after all, the run
about was a rather nice little car.
And I suppose" Desiree added,
that il is much less Of an extrava-
gance than the large car is. 1t
burns less gasoline, doesn't it?''
Yes" David replied. much less.
80 one can have a comfortable feel
ing about driving it in war times"
Only two hours ago he had de-
termined never again TO address
an unnecessary remark TO this
young lady! Perhaps he had been
unduly indignant, he reflected now.
Well, Norah had been to blame for
the disagreeable condition OF af-
fairs.
He did not even glance toward
the house. II Norah was looking
out Of the window, he did not want
TO see her.
But Norah was not looking out.

events, she wished to believe this,
and tdrned her thoughts away from

No Word About Smith.
When Norah appeared upstairs a
moment later to help her mistress
dfvest herself OF hat and coat no
reference was made to Smith. To
Judge by appearances, NoTah's mind
was only upon the lady she was
serving.

CAuthOF Of "The Ambitious Woman
In BuslneNs."D

In Buslness."D
h Tow is the time for all good
N business women TO get into
fresh air habit. For it's the
lack OF fresh air that is at the basis
OF many a business woman's ILL
health. depression, lassitude or
what not. Who could take in deep
drafts OF clear, pure air and feel
blue" or under par?
Fact is that every feeling of
mental depression that arises ap-
parently without cause from out
side sources can invariably be
traced to something wrong physi-
cally And there are few such in
determinate ills that can't be con-
quered by the best patent medicine
eYer-never- failing ozone.
The woman whose work keeps
her outdoors part or all Of the day
is blessed these days. But most
women work indoors, in store and
office. where there isn't any brac-
ing ozone-just ventilation" And
so, il you want to keep health and
spirits up TO the bubbling point,
now's the time to get used to fresh
air habits.
One of the best investments which
the indoor worker can make is to
provide a means for outdoor sleep
ing. That is not very easy in the
city. but it is sometimes possible,
and even if it isn't possible in town
there's a way out. In some parts
OF towns there arc still to be found
apartments where there is a second
story back veranda which can be
transformed into a sleeping porch.
Yes, it will sometimes mean some
extra trouble 10 get the apartment
and a little expense to arrange it,
but there isn't another health in
vestment which will pay the indoor
worker more. Seven or eight hours
outdoors at night at a stretch will
fill you up with more fresh air than
you could acquire in dozen desuI-
tory two-hour tramps in the woods
or at the shore on holidays.
And IL it's utterly impossible to
find what you want in a city apart
mem, why not break out of the rut
and get into the country? In fact.
If the girl who is saving carefully
for that two weeks trip would
spread the amount over the year by
living out OF the city, she would
gam INFINITELY more in many cases.
1t is easy for US TO stick in the
same old rut OF sweltering in the
city during an entire summer,
buoyed up in the beginning by an
ticipation of the two weeks vaca-
ton, and confronted at the end by
the recollection of the said two
weeks of outdoor enjoyment.
Rut why stick in town all year

just because of habit? There real

more or less, where you can live
more Cheaply than you can live in
town, IL cost is the consideration,
and where you will be able TO have
twelve or fourteen hours of fresh
air per day.
Live out OF the city? Gracious!
l think I'd diew was the verdict
of one business girl. who typifies
the viewpoint of a large number.
For to her there is nothing enter,
tanning left in life if you remove
the movies and the cabaret, and
alas! they flourish not where the
whippoorwills and the katydids
conduct nocturnal symphonies. But
whether they admit it or not, that's
what most girls who work indoors
need more than anything else-to
be whisked out of the city at the
close of the day and NIL up on

watch and manage to get a note to
Smith when Mr.. Leighton was not
looking.
Meanwhile David had returned the
car to the garage. CHANGING into
the interior Of the runabout. his
eyes caught the glimmer OF some
thing bright on the floor. Reaching
in, he picked up a sapphire pendant
attached TO a slender gold chain.
He was alone at the time, and
held the trinket in his hand. study
ing it curiousIy and reminiscently.
For he recognized il Immediately.
He had always admired the deep
blue stone and the pure white dia-
monds that f1anlled it. As a child
he had seen the pendant on his
aunt's neck. He had told her often
that he considered it the prettiest
bit OF jewelry she possessed. He
had forgotten all about it, but the
sight of it now brought back a
flood OF memories Of the days that
were gone.
Strange FaRcies.
Now Desiree Leighton owned il.
Aunt Jeanne had undoubtedly left
it to the girl in her will.
Slipping the trinket into his
pocket, David De Lame walked
slowly around TO his rooms. STOP

seated himself and forthwith

1t looked strangely out of place

as a seer gazes into a crystal ball.
As he looked strange fancies
came to his mind. He remembered
how much his aunt had loved him,
