Helen Armes, a beautiful young
woman, becomes a trained nurse, and
leaving her small home town, goes to
New York City and accepts the invi-
tation Of her friend, Mrs. Evelyn
Howell, to stay st her home during
her residence in the city. She meets
physician, an old friend of her fami-
", who assures her that he will find
Ter a position whenever she is pre-
pared to accept it..
Among the visitors to tee Howell
household is Lyle Bayne, clever but
|urscrupulous man, between whom and
Mrs. Howell there is an affair dis
creditable to both. Lyle is introduced
to Helen and instantly is attracted by
her beauty. He admires her from
afar, bit makes no attempt to force
himself upon her, he realizing that
ihe is high minded young woman
With whom he would find it difficult
% trifle.
Accompanying the Howells, Helen
tte7ds New Years Eve party in a
fashionable dining resort. Scores of
finely arrayed men and women are
present, all intent upon seeing the
old year out and the new year in, with
all the eclat possible. Among the
diners is Temple Bayne, brother Of
Lyle, a man of wealth and practicable
a woman Halter, who found little in
the weaker sex to admire. He was
known as a cynic and he openly de-
SPARED of finding any woman in
whom he could repose confidence.
The merrymaking is at its height
when Temple observes Helen for the
first time. He percieves that the an
tics of the intoxicated men and wo-
men disgust her and this convinces
him that she may be, after all, awo-
man capable of commanding his re-
spect. He seeks an introduction to
her and escorts her to balcony, from
which point of vantage they may
watch the jewellers below. An i'm

Of the dance floor and when it opens

well as a pretty dancer, who glides
among the guests with rhythmic mo.
tions.
Temple watches Helen closely and
he realizes that for the first time in
his life a pretty face and feminine
charm have reused his interest. They
two are separated in the crush, and
believing Helen has rejoined her
friends, he returns home. He finds
himself unable to forget Helen, and
the more he thinks about her the more
he feels that he should have assured
himself of her safety. He finally
leaves his house and goes to the How
ell home to assure himself that all is
we'll with the girl.
Meanwhile, Helen has returned
home with Lyle and when she tries to
enter the Howell apartments she dis
covers that she has no key. Lyle
smiles evilly and begs her to make
use of his apartment on the some
floor while she awaited the return of
Mrs. Howell. Lyle becomes familiar
and Helen. battles fiercely with him.
He is embracing her when Mrs. How
ell enters and upbraids Lyle for his
conduct. Jealous of Helen, she orders
the girl to quit the place, and she Is
leaving the building, suitcase in her
hand, when Temple appears. He fails
to recognize her and goes to the room
Of his brother above.
Angered by events, Lyle resents
his brothers questions regarding Hell
en- savagely. In revenge he tells Tenn
pie that Helen had forced her love up
on him, but, knowing his brothers
nature, he refuses to believe him. The
brothers quarrel and come to blows.
Lyle picks up a candelabrum and he
strikes Temple in the face, with the
result that the latter is blinded. A
physician is summoned and he sends
to home for nurses for trained as
sistance. Helen has meanwhile reach
ed the place and she is dispatched to
Temples home without being aware
of the identity of her patient.
Helen is amazed and gratified at
her recognition of Temple, and, in
troduced to him as Miss Brown, shl T!
nurses him devotedly. Temple fall
in love with her. Driven to despera-
ton by lack of funds, Lyle enters
his brothers house for the purpose of
robbing him, and he is found rifling
safe by Helen. She appeals to his
better nature, with the result that he |
enters the war as a means Of expia-
ton.
Temples sight is restored and he
instantly recognizes the so-called Miss
Brown IS Helen Armes, the girl whom
he believed had voluntarily sold her
self to his brother. He reviles her and
she is about to leave when the house
hold appeals to her to break the news
of Lyle's death at the front to Tenn
pie. She finds Temple conversing
with phantom in an easy chair
the spectre of Lyle, which has re-
turned to reveal the truth to Temple |
regarding Helen and of the base lies
Lyle has told. Temple is amazed at
the revelation and when Helen enters |
he directs her attention to Lyle. She
can see nothing, and Temple is not
convinced until the spectre vanishes
in thin air.
Helen then shows Temple the cas-
ualty list announcing Lyle's death,
whereupon he takes her into his arms
and both are happy in their mutual
love.

cial will make their first
appearance as a group of hostesses
at their dance to be given in n
high school gymnasium at that time.
For weeks the members and their
assistants have mad elaborate prep
arations in every feature necessary

promise of it being the social event
of the season. In the first place the
gym will be transformed with h
club colors of orange and blue. Sec
ondly, the music will be furnished
by Hollander's five piece orchestra
and last but not least the committee
will serve refreshments at a suitable
hour.
The dance committee includes the
Misses Elizabeth Reager and Regina
Dwyer, the refreshment committee
the Misses Mary Holton and Ruelita
Snyder, while the decorations will
be attended to by Misses Miriam

NEED MONEY To
AID SCOUT FUND
Amount Collected to Date Not
Enough to Provide Camp
ing Trip for All Scouts.

The fund which has been started
here to enable sending the scouts
from the local council to Bear Noun
tain, the largest and best equipped
Boy Scout camp in the east. for at
least two weeks this summer, is as
yet entirely insufficient to do Justice
to the large number of boys who de-
sire to make the trip but are unable
to do so because of the deficiency in
the treasury. At the present time
there is about $3.50 in the fund,
which. at first call was literally con-
tributed. but this amount will enable
only seventy scouts to attend camp
for one week, or thirty-five scouts
for two weeks each, whereas there
are between zoo and ESQ scouts in
the local council.
Bear Mountain has everything to
offer which a real boy desires for his
summer vacation and the authorities
in charge of the local organization
feel that it would be depriving the
boys here of a great opportunity If
the entire council cannot attend be-
cause of the lack of funds.
Donations, however small, will be
greatfully received and can be sent
to William Pullen at the Perth Am
boy Trust Company. 1t is hoped that
the response will be as hearty as
was evidenced last week when the
appeal was first made.

WOMEN OF ST.. MARY'S
GIVE PLEASING DANCE

If the statement was ever made
that women can't give and enjoy
a dance without men," the women
of st. Mary's church disproved 1t
at their old fashioned dance in st.
Mary's hall in Center street last
night. The dance marked the Jot-
lest occasion held in the hall this
wear while the members OF the
church and their guests pronounce
ed it the ~jolliest event attended by
Them during the season. So the
dance was surely a success.
f. Merriment began early in the
evening when the guests began to
arrive in their old fashioned cos
tunes and pass before the Judges
Mrs. r. n. Kennedy, Mrs. Michael
Costello and Mrs. Thomas Z. Ram
sey, for inspection. Mrs. Danlei
Sullivan was chosen as wearing the
prettiest old fashioned gown. The
sack race and other games
and the prize in the former was won
bv Mrs. James Smith. Dancing
nothing but the old fashioned
dances, the Virginia reel, the irish
iies and the Hke,to the music fur-
nished by the violin and piano, the
fun lasted throughout the evening"
al the conclusion of which all were
loathe to so home.
Then there were the lunches, eat
en- in picnic fashion in h chairs
grouped about while the committee
served coffee and ice cream as de-
sert, and Jolly pops to conclude IL
in proper style. In fact n dance
was so thoroughly enjoyed that sew
eraI fused to leave without the
nromise of another similar event In
the very near future. The o
ticns were deserving of mention as
the hall was transformed into an old
fashioned parlor, with old fash
toned rugs curtains and chairs.
Mrs. Henry Slater. Mrs. Charles
Buchan, Mrs. John Lawless n
Mrs. John Winant composed the
committee in charge.

WASHINGTON-"A nation of
homes is a nation of strength"
Thus says Miss Natalie Sumner
Lincoln, editor of the Daughters of
the American Revolution magazine,
who is preaching-especially TO
women-the gospel of a former day.
The women of today must obtain
a firm grip on the old-fashioned vir-
lures of loyalty and h~elpfulness,"
says Miss Lincoln. I'VE glimpsed
those ideals for a few fleeting Sec
onds during the war; then the
American women wrote a chapter of
service worthy to stand beside the
record of the women of the Revolu-
tionary and Civil wars"
