The Girl Who Had No Chance
BY MARION RUBINcAM

Copy mine," Gaby remarked, deter
mined to keep the conversation in her
own hands. These new short skirts
are easy to make. Of course they do
show the ankle and some of the leg,
but If one has slim ankle
She extended slender foot in a
dainty slipper. The short full skirt of
the period was very becoming to her.
She had beautiful ankles-her ankles
rather than her voice held her job, she
was fond of remarking
Myra extended a foot, too-uncon-
sciously initiating Gaby. So Ruth had
a comparison suddenly presented for
her TO look at. 1t came to her sudden
ly that Myra no longer had such a
pretty foot-it was short, and it was
yes, it was pudgy, and the fancy shoe
she had purchased showed up all its
defects.
Gaby leaned back, her amusement
half showing on her face.
If you'll come and have tea with
me-" she suggested, I'll show you all
my new things. I've been economizing
lately, and I've saved $500. Then l
was told my salary was going up to
$500 a week next month"
so you went out and bought a
thousand dollars worth of Clothes
Ruth laughed, remembering the sudden
economies and equally sudden extrava-
gances of this little actress.
Only $780," Gaby answered. BE
sides they were bargains-but I don't
suppose you'll come to see me on your
Sundays out. At least, not while Ruth
has this fascinating suite of rooms.
Ny place is so small, I'm economizing
on rent But after Ruth goes
Il came to see Ruth for a special
purpose" Myra remarked suddenly.
Gaby's amused expression changed
to an intent look. Ruth paled visibly.
Il came to say she needn't have lied
to me over the phone last night"

THE TEA PARTY
CHAPTER 104

Myra came in soon after Gaby spoke.
Ruth ordered tea, and went over to the
big chair near the table, while Myra
curled herself up in one corner OF
the couch.
She was looking very pretty, even
though she was growing just a little
too stout for real beauty. Her cheeks,
always a lovely pink, were glowing
from the cold air outdoors: her blonde
hair was waved back under a little
gray hat that gave expression to her
pleasant, shallow eyes.
Yes, I made it myself" she said,
when Gaby remarked on the hat. I'm
getting so clever, Tim says he
wouldn't have believed it." She
laughed, little pleased, self-conscious
laugh.
Il wouldn't either" Gaby remarked
with slightly yelled sarcasm. You
couldn't darn stockings in the old days.
You sent them home to your mother to
do"
Poor mama, Well, her daughter is
no longer a burden. she has great big
man to take care Of her now"
Gaby turned away suddenly-this
was too much for her always-ready
sense OF humor. She fumbled with her
sash, pretending she had turned to
adjust it.
How is TIM" Gaby asked, making
conversation. "As much in love as
ever"
Ruth looked protestingly at Gaby.
But that young person had developed a
sudden impish mood. She turned
around to Myra, presenting the most
serious and charming expression. But
Ruth, who caught her profile could see
how she had dropped her eyelids a
little, hiding the laughter in them.
More in love than ever!" Myra an
swered complacentIy, looking not at
Gaby, but her dress.

looking, and | draw $50 a week be-

too. But l never keep anyone's affec.
ton. They fall out of love so fast"
You don't know how to manage
them, Myra answered, with all the
vast condescensien that only married
woman is capable of. You mustn't
let them see too much of you. Now
Tim always has Saturday evenings to

remark. She knew what Gaby wanted

KINDNESS USED TO
TRAIN CIRCUS ANIMALS
Gentry Bros. Shows Coming Here Next
Week Finds Kindness Works
Better Than Cruelty.

AS a means of teaching children to
be kind to dumb animals, the Gentry
Bros. Show and wild animal arena is
said to be shining example, and dur
ing its exhibitions in Maysville on
June 23rd, new ideas will be disclosed
relative to animal subjugation and ed
ucation, so it is promised.
No weapons are used in tn training
of any of the animals with the show;
they are practically conquered by
kindness and patience; animals have
a liking of sugar and other sweets,
and these play an important part in
their training; the eagerness of the
different animals to take their part in
the performance, shows the pleasure
they enjoy in their work.
Familiarity with the various mem
bers of the animal kingdom is food
for the mind of the little members Of
the household; and kindness to ami
mails should be early inculcated in the
youthful mind; knowledge Of animals
habits. traits and distinguishing char
acteristics gives diversion to the men
tality, sharpens intelligence and slim
ulates healthy imagination; many a
nursery story is wildly impressed at
sight of the animal that was the prin-
cipal character, and parents should
encourage the children's interest in
animals of all kinds, as 1t makes for
intelligent and wholesome pastime.
