WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
BY ANN LISLE,

v1ndering how Jim had treated this ex-member of his family. Yes. Deuce of 8 way with him that fellow has And he seems to have a pretty good business head, too. But he never could understand what Vir- gtnia wanted.'
 Maybe you take this attitude now because you were never any more completely out of sympathy with Virginia" replied. But did you al- ways feel this way about 9" Cant say ever saw much against Pat" replied Jim thoughtfully. And l liked him and his attitude mighty well today. He stuck around just long enough to give me the glad hand, make me see now well Neal stood say couple of decent things about you and Phoebe and the engagement and then quietly removed himself"
 Having to sneak out all by him self while you and Neal went chu1n- my together I said sympatheticaIly, as I thrust two big shell pins in the coils of my hair.
 Not alone. The Sturges girl was waiting for him." replied Jim, either accepting it with masculine blindness pr. pr too completely out of sympathy much more occupied with his next remark, Funny thing Neal hasn't any information about the old Harri- son place yet. It isn't down in the books under it's own title nor in the name of the Sturges Company nor listed to the folks who bought it in. The boy is going over to the main offices this afternoon and look it up on their books. I've asked him to keep it quiet until I can come along and make my offer"
 Big baby!'' I said induIgently How my Jimmie does gloat over the idea of Haunting his wealth in the face of the whole Sturges Construc~ tion Company. And how he does derly.
 And how she does understand" replied Jim affectionately, giving mo a warm hug. Now to finish beau tifyfng ourselves for the field daisy and Booth. By the way, who was with you when you met up with them ?''
 Virginia I replied, struggling. with a snapper and watching the grace with which Jim slipped into his coat.
 ''Virginia.' repeated Jim in aston chasing yourself off to lunch with her just after I tell you I've finished witt .nat domineering''-
 I ran over to Jim and laid my hand across his mouth.
 Dearest, it's your Jeanie you're talking about. She's made you furi- ous, but you love her and things will be all right between you soon."
 'FWill they?" sneered Jim. 'They will-not. When Virginia Dalton begs my pardon for her darn, high handed insolence, I'll forgive her and not before. And I guess she's as likely to come to me for forgiveness as she is to go on her knees to Pat
 Miss Condon and MT Booth," an- nounced Bertha from the open door way.
 "Oh, I should have been in the Hv- ing room to greet them,'' I cried re- gretfully, and ran quickly to make up for my tardiness.
 In the living room I found Carl Booth, immaculate in dinner coat and white linens, and Daisy sweet and dainty in an evening dress of yellow taffeta.
 To be Continued.

 An efficient way to hang the kid dies dresses without trying to make the little ones stand quietly is to take an underslip or pettcoat that is the right length and slip it over coat hanger Put the dress to be hemmed over the 11ndergarment, hang the coat hanger from any lighting fixture, and the hem can easily be turned and pin ned.
 Other materials with which this dress might be attractively made up are dotted swiss with dainty colored ribbons, fine lawn, or even the serv- iceaHoIe dinlity.

CHAPTER CCLXXI.

When Jim came home I had his tuxedo hung out and had laid on his bed a pleated white shirt, fitted with studs and links. Across my chaise lounge was my dinner dress of laven- Ser chiffon.
 Tzhat's this? Whats this?" asked Jsnsae Nassing his hand wearily across :. e1s forehead. ''Td clean forgotten shis was the night for us to dine at the SsS roof garden with Neal and
 Seoikins. I'll have to buck up for the happy occasion.''
 Meals party isn't till day after tomorrow" explained. This is a nice little home dinner Only we two and Daisy Condon and Carl Booth
 Hate the name-ugiy Haunting thing. Who are these new people any Way?"
 Taking one thing at a time I re- 5'pIed:
 She isn't ugly and Haunting - Datsy, | mean Shes sweet and simple. Like a shy wood-nymph She's so quiet she even seems coiorIess at first And Carrs an old friend, on the advertising staff at Haldane's Don't you remember him I was with him the night
 'Oh, old business acquaintances," !" interrupted Jim. Then we won't dress. It would only embarrass 'em Ee'n probably come in blue serge and a red tie. And who's your shy NioIet?''
 'Daisy--types at Haldan's." I re- piled hesitatingly, starting to be over- wheImed, as usual, by the Harrison soclal superiority Then, disgusted at such snobbery, I continued in different strain: Jim, these Hal dane people were my friends before T knew you. Good friends too. And l deserted them for you. Daisy told me today that her sister Kate-my best friend in the old days-died of influenza this winter. She wanted to see me before she vert and they didn't know where to find me. That hurt, I'd like to make it up by be- ing sweet to Rates little sister,
 50 that's itI" Jim's eyes flashed at me warmly. You shall be god mother to Cinderella if you like, dear. And I'll help. But it would be rotten beginning to embarrass her within an inch of her life by all this finery. I'll wear a business suit to be in keeping with Booths blue serge. And you get into that little dark thingamabob with the white col lar.''
 But I thought it would be so nice to make it seem like party" I ar gued uneasily.
 Never do in the world,' said Jim.
 I yielded to his greater social knowledge, hung away my pretty pale chiffon and got out the sombre navy blue georSette. Then Jim dis appeared for his bath and shave. Pre- sently - a rim-shouldered, slim waisted, pongee-shirted figure, he re- appeared to slouch down in a chair beside my dressing table and chat costly while I did my hair. A favorite trick Jinisi, this, and I love it even Dn the occasions when his nischievous fingers pull down the soft waves of my hair just as I have persuaded them into place.
 Neal and I Iunched together to- day" he announced. q stopped my
 Nice offices they have and the boy stands aces high"

QUESTIONS AN DANswERs.
- =. Shingles

shingles
 What are shingles? What is the cause of them? After having them on my face and head, would they be the cause of terrible queer sensations in my head nearly all the time, such as creeping feelings?
 Answer-Few ailments are more distressing than shingles (herpes zos- ter or cingulum, as the doctors call it.) There are b1isters along the line of a nerve, usually associated with some nervous disturbance Other causes are atmospheric changes, ex posture to wet and cold, a hurt of any given nerve (such as a blow upon it) and the long continued use of such drugs as arsenic. The trouble is all most invariably one-sided.
 The cause may be found and re- moved for a real cure The blisters

Acute catarrhal dysentery may be due to indigestib1e food. to polluted in the weather. It usually begins with an acute attack of diaErhoea, slight fever, nausea and vomiting. There is an intense abdominal pain and a con stant desire to go to the stool The stools become progressively more ire quent and bloody Pain at stool is worse in the afternoon and at night. Rapid cancellation, exhaustion and general nervous disorders follow. The trouble may end in a week, or it may become chronic.
 Rest in bed and a liquid diet Cmilk and broths) are essential for such patients. And of course the family doctor should be consulted at once.

It was pierced by a very SIllsiIi but deep wound, which had divided the carotid artery. The instrument with which the injury had been in ficted lay upon the carpet beside him.

Mrs K. T. Diff you wean the baby gradually and do not try to dry up the milk, the bust will not be in jured. If the breasts are uncomfort- ably full at the regular feeding time, warm vaseline or pure lard gently massaging into the skin, will give re lief. This will only be needed at first, as with each feeding that is omitted, the milk will lessen.

STEAMING THE FACE.

Every week I receive quite few letters from readers who want to know whether there is really any vir- tue in steaming the complexion. They write that some people say steaming the face causes coarse pores and want to know whether this is true or not, since the steaming process has been so widely used in connection with beauty treatment.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


The C. c. c. club, composed of high
school boys, gave a father and son
banquet at the Y. NJ G. A. last Friday.
The main speakers of the even ng were
the Rev. Richard Evans and II. c. Ber-

all of the fathers were called on to
say a few words as to the promotion
of the activities of the club.

changed from 20 to rs there have been
a good many failures in subjects that
have been hard for the students. The
people who have been falling in most
of their studies are to be dismissed
from school within the next three
weeks. This will make 1t a good deal
easier for the teachers and will reduce
the upkeep expense of the school.
