WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A NeLO Serial of Young Married Life

Tommy, either, whore woman-like you
is concerned"
Every one chuckled at the elaborate
point Envy made Of hesitatlng when she
had seemed almost to suggest that Tom
was gallant to all women, and then
swung her barb into a sort Of compli-
ment to me- Ny face burned but be-
fore l could reply Envy went on:
"Oh, here's Sir Thomas now! What
viii you give me, cousin mine, for the
privilege os hiding away cozily here in
the back OF the box with your-Donna
Anna 2"
Hello, every one-every one. hello"'
spoke up Tom Mason genially. my, we
are cozyi But I say, Jim, don't you
want the choice place up in front for
the last act? They say there's a won
derful dance"
Jimmie wouldn't deprive his w1fe-or
a guest-of a chance to see that dance
TO the best possible advantage for the
world" Eushed Envy IN her strangely
husky voice
Again every ono laughed. There was
such a knowing note in Phoebe's mirth
that I Just ached, remembering the dean
little girl Neal had loved only a few
weeks before
well. I'll swap everything you or the
stage have to offer for one friendly smile
from our hostess" said Tom easily as
he took bis place IN the hitherto empty
chair Just back Of me. "Glad TO see me,

HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY. FEB. %.
The stars incline, but do not compel II

After the early morning this day is
not fortunate, according to astrology.
Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are all in
evil aspect.
Newspapers may have much that is
sensational to publish at this time, for
Neptune is in a place that encourages
the uncovering of hidden obnquities of
all sorts.
Again publicity, especially where it af-
fects personalities, is well directed and.
1t should be a lucky time to start adver-
tising campaigns.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
keep their business well in hand and
should watch their health. Temptation
to flirt may be strong and should be
ignored.
Children born on this day may be care
less and difficult to train into methodical
ways, but they are likely to be exceed
lngly brilliant. Girls have the augury
Of eyentful careers.-Copyright 1921

only way to meet the pest was to put up
fences.
These rahbit-proof fences. built and

Irregular blocks. New South Wales had

Is described as being made Of wire net

Of barbed wire placed above the netting
AS a result of the fence system and
bounties, the rabbits for the most part
