CHAPTER CCXIV

CHATTER SCAlN- Anne, have you noticed how much Betty looks like Val Cosby?" Jim asked as we sat costly around a grate- | fire the last evening of our stay with Betty and Terry. That reminds me, | little Val Cosby is keen to meet you | people,"
 "Betty's hair isn't like 1acquer-it's | soft, and her eyes aren't hard, either, replied tact1essly, finding things sud- | denly as gray as the cold summer rain | that had kept us housed all day, but ! that hadn't seeped into the cheery place till now.
 "I should say my hair isn't like | Iacuuer," lamented Betty creating | diversion that turned Jim's angry | glance away from me. There's a white streak coming right on my left | temple.''
 "A feather." said Jim, with his ready gallantry. "It will make you more distinguished than ever, Betty. And it'll make every man who sees you to long to punch Terry's head in | case the brute caused the untlmely | frost.'
 l "James-at his pet occupation of | blarneying the particular woman he's not interested in,'' laughed Betty. | Anne, have you noticed that about a light word of harrery for all the 1 lassies, yet they sometimes scold the l one who's in their hearts for very shame at their own tenderness
 ''I hadn't-noticed.'' I gasped won dering if this were actually so, or if Betty had said it merely to cheer me up since Jim s abrupt manner in talk | ing to me was in sad contrast to Terry's tenderness with Betty. l well, when you are my age and gray haired," continued Betty in the kindest possible tone, you'll know that love always comes home to roost, | though he sometimes stops on the | way and sings a particularly fine song l a stranger ing her pretty feathers"
 When we got upstairs couldn't re- siSt referring to what Betty had said.
 "Jim, do you think love always comes home to rooSt-at 1aSt?" ven- l tured.
 'Love?' began Jim, argumentative- ly. That depends etHn on what what o; you !, what folks call by that name isn't just infatuation or propinqutty, or Springtime. Any pretty woman. gets most men going for a while-the jot is to pick the right one. Take Ter. call a little bit of all right. They're mated; they .trot along just right ir double harness. You don't often sec a. thing like that, do you

 Jim, however, had warmed to his subject and went on without any con- sciouSness that I had tried to talk about us.
 | got wise to what a lot Betty must care for old Terry when little Mossie put me next to a few things about Atherton Bryces will the da1 we came down for the wedding. Wha do you think that rotter Bryce did Put in a. clause that his widow for feited every cent he'd left he in case she married again.
 Maybe he cared enough for hel , to make sure that no man would ever marry her for her money 1 suggested.

WHEN A GIRL .MARRIES
BY ANN LESLIE.

Not he, little sentimentaist," re- piled Jim, pinching my cheek with out seeming to know that it was MY cheek. That's one of the things that bothered old Terry. I'm thinking. He knew what she'd have to sacrifice for him. But it never phased Bet ty. I'll bank on that. She's a real woman if ever there was one. Say, can't you see that little vars the dead ringer for herr"
 ''I can't see any resemblance" I reI3lied reR1ied coldIy, db Tin, "Bettys one in n troduce Val Cosby into the conversa- ton all the time?'

 I parted my lips to protest, but with characteristic rest1essness Jim chang ed the subject.
 By the way, Anne, you haven't asked me for a cent for ever so long How's that?"
 "Tve been spending the money I'd saved to pay Neal You know you him the check,'' I replied, trying to follow Jim.
 Well, I noticed tonight that you new, isn't it? keep up the good work and don't go back to your miser, patient-Griselda, stuff. I'll give you whatever I make in Terrys | stock.''
 What YOU maker" I asked. "The l commission %
 l 'No, not the commission. I'm carving a little of the stock myself D Jim retorted impahently. 1 But I thought you promoted oil stocks I didn't think you gambled in them!" I cried, stumbling over the word in my thoughts rather than some less downright expression I | would have c1losen to use if only I'd stopped to think.

His extreme love of solitude in England suggests the idea that he was in fear of some thing, so we may assume as a work ing hypothesis that it was fear of some one or something which drove him from America. AS to what it was he feared, we can only deduce that by considering the formidable letters which were received by him self and his successors

Advice To The
 Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. An Authority on All Problems o1 Girls and Questions of Love
 and Romance

In one days mail I've culled these questions put to me by various thoughtful young men who appear to be- studying the girl of today through earnest as well as critical eyes.
 Does the girl of today deserve the devoted and unswerving love of a man? Does she give him in devotion and loyalty and Stick-to-itivenes what her grandmother gave when she took a man for better or worse ?"' asks J. J.
 '-Does the girl of today do the right thing when she follows all the fads in dressing and spends more than she can afford to be in the latest Style?' writes The Club.
 ''Do you believe that women today care for the simple home joys? Ger tainly home and love don't play much part in the life of women in the big cities. Aren't the women-supposed to be the nob1er sex = deterioratinS hopeIessly?" writes R. T. S.
 I smile over those letters a bit sadly For the fine lads who wrote them are waiting for, me to get out a cat-o'-nine tails and flourish it bit about the over-exposed silk stock ings and white chests. of my sex

Listen, World!
BY ELSIE ROBINSON

There are lots of folks who set great store by that poem of Friend Burroughs beginning
 Serene I fold my hands and wait
 Now I'm not going to quarrel with peoples tastes in poetry any more than ] would quarrel with their taste in pickles-but all I'll say is, THEIRS ISN'S MINE!
 This serene waiting game may do all very we'll for some natures which were left money by their grand parents anyway. But every time I've folded my hands and Serene1y waited. some other Johnnie has jumped in ahead of me and glommed my job. What I admire is ACTION-large, animated gobs of action.

pery days used to mince and grOpo and slide and go along with my heart in my throat and a great terror curd- Ing my blood. And then one day I said to myself:
 Well, suppose I tumble? Can't I pick myself up again? And if I do bruise myself or twist an ankle will It be as bad as this horror of it %
 Somehow that persuaued me to try stepping out steadily and with cer- tain amount of faith that if I kept my eyes open and my tread firm I'd be all right. And was. Ice doesn't t think about it now, but trot along Se- renely, as if I liked keeping my bal ance on smooth surfaces.
 Isn't life a. bit like that?
 If you keep your mind on yourself and your shortcomings, and worry about how you'll look if things go wrong, have you much chance of making them go right? If you spend all your time thinking of appearances and dreading a bit of ridicule. have you any leisure for accomplishment?
 This doesn't mean-and please don't read any such dangerous doc trine into what I'm saying-that be- lleve in the pastime known as "skat- ing on thin ice," or sometimes. with with fire" don't There's nothing to be gained by challenge of the conventions, by refusing to play the game according to rules, or by cap IioQSly CAStl1uS "1l1te SSeII1uSS lO pray fair.
 Life has plenty of slippery corners, skiddy streets and icy paven1ents for us to negotiate without our manufac- turing any artificial ice Most of the time we don't find easy going. Often there seems hardly a safe foothold as we proceed on our way. And to brood over the difficulties won't obvi- ate them.
 Some folks are born with a sure footedness that translates itself also as mental boise. Some cautious and sane souls are naturally level headed. But any one can get out of the habit of taking himself so seriously that he's afraid to venture for fear of slip ping.
 Timidity is often self-centredness. Selfishness masks as a terror of be ing ridicuIed. The thing to do Is think about the goa1-not the going. Send your thoughts out into the world instead of seeing nothing but the centre of the stage with yourself occupying it
 Balance and poise come from faith in self and in serene feeling that failure is a. thing to be risen upon
 Suppose you do fall-get up again. That's the secret of making some thing of life.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-03-01

And I have to confess just here and now that sometimes I feel as-eXas- perated Chats precisely the emotion and sensationD at my sex as they do.
 But, then, I do little remember ing. Most things in this world of ours move along with due regard for the law of supply and demand. Apply the principle where we will in life it holds and its workings seem to regulate human conduct and the sowing of cropsi
 We'll, the law of supply and de- nland has a lot to do with the way girls act today And it all works back to the men folks, so it's them I'll have to speak harshly to, after all.
 You see, boys, it's like this: You want Ito be amused. When time comes to settle down you're planning to marry a. sweet, home-rnaking girl one something like mother. But in the meantime you want a good time. So you rush around in high powered cars if you have them, frequent caba- rets if you have the price. and stroll in the park if you haven't.
 And who goes with you? The pretty little fluff who dances well, laughs and plays your way, and is nifty dresser" She's only your play mate- But she shares your enjoy mentS, and comes in for more than her share of presents and love making.
 And the nice girl sits at home The sweet home-loving girl is human and doesn't enjoy being neglected until such time as you are ready to settle down. Marriage ought not to be a settling down. btu as so many men don't marry until they're tired and begin to feel weary of all the bright lights marriage is what it should not be-the end of care-free gayety.
 The nice" girl has a brain and plenty of thrilled evenings during which to exercise it. She sees all the little, fluffy empty heads having th2 lor which she yearns. She notices the obvious eXternals through which they capture the rowing and easily pleased masculine eye. And she thinks some more. She decides men don't want loyalty and devotion-and homes Then-next pay day, instead of bringing home eighteen of her twenty five to mother, she brings two Ana for herself a pink georgette blouse and a pair of sleasy silk stockings with cheap gray pumps to match: Also a. box of sticky white powder and a little rouge.
 eff this is what the boys want says Miss Nice Girl to herself, Il | might as well give it to them Have I answered you, young men
 Have you ever gone nincing along on a slippery day with your knees up inside your shoes as if to clutch the reacherouS surface on which you were trying to keep upright? And when you were toddling along most agonizingly have you ever beheid some one striding by with an assured and careless air? And hated him or | envied him for it ?
 Well, life is often a. slippery, ice coated surface on which folks Skate or slide or mince or stride as their natures dictate.
 Who wouldn't-if he could put on wishing ring and by asking for the gift obtain it-be one of those Who stalk feariess1y where others so tim idly tread? Who likes to make a spectacle of himself? Who doesn hate to creep along in constant dreac CT tumbhng and looking absurd. even If he doesn't seriously hurt himself?
 Now to confess: On actually silp-
