THE WOMAN HE MARRIED
By JANE PHELPS.

With one or two exceptions Dick
approved my list. Then he asked:
"Shall you have cards?,'
mo, I don't think so. Suppose
we have little dancing? Our liv-
ing room is large enough, and we
have several new records"
IA good idea. If I can help call
on me--and I am sure Juanita will
do anything you ask her to. There
she comes now" I looked out to
see Juanita turning In at the gate.
1t was so seldom that Dick called
her by name nowadays that I had
scarcely recovered from surprise
when she came in. Dick had open
ed the door for her, and / thought
/ detected a glance of something
like an understanding flash from
her eyes as she came In. Dicks
back was toward me so I was not
sure.
II was Just telling Nan you
would be glad to help her. She is
going to give housewarming,"
Dick explained almost before I
could greet her.
"Oh. how lovely! OF course I
will help. Only tell me what I
can do"
I wanted to say That I wanted
no assistance from her--in fact,
that nothing would please ME so
much as never seeing her again.
Instead, after one look at Dicks
face, l replied
"Thank you, IL there is anything
with which l need assistance I
shall remember your offer" 1t
was stilted reply, but the best !
could manage.
"Do," Then to Dick: Eve should
hear from the manuscript in a few
days I can't sleep o'nights think
ing about it,
That "we' and something in her
voice, her declaration that she laid
awake thinking of her work with
Dick. grated on my nerves.
"If you feel as keenly as that
you should have allowed your
name to have appeared upon the
story as collaborating with Dick"
spoke rather sharply, and Dick
scowled at me before he said:
II did all I could to persuade
Juanita. She is, has been, singu-
larly unselfish."
Nonsense! Now about that par
ty--what are you going to do to
entertain them ?"
II thought of dancing, and per-
haps something else. I haven't
decided"
"Oh, have dancing! I adore to
dance and l get so little opportu-
nifty"
Dick was also fond of dancing.
and as l visualized them floating
around the room claspedu in each
others arms. | almost decided not
to give them the chance. Then
my pride whispered:
''If dancing with her is more to
him than your devotion, you might

A TWO MINUTE MANICURE.

Business girls and housewives
who are very busy often write
complaining of the bad appear
ance of their nails and say that
they have not the time to go to a
professional manicurist, and not
the time to take care of the nails
properly at home. If you will learn
how you can keep your nails in
beautiful condition by spending
exactly two minutes every day in
looking after them. And you do
not need a great deal of skill.
If you have been neglecting the
nails you had better start with a
thorough manicure, for this two
minute a day treatment is to keep
the nails in good condition.
The best time for the two min
ute manicure is immediately after
your bath or after you have wash
ed your hands with hot water and
soap. The nails are easily cleansed
then and the cuticle Is soft.
AS soon as you have dried the
nails, clean under them with the
point of file, then take an
orangewood stick with tiny bit

CURIOUS MEANS USED
IN ATTEMPTING TO
SMUGGLE NARCOTICS

Topeka, Kans., Oct. GLORIOUS
means are used In attempting to
smuggle narcotics into the Kansas
state penitentiary at Lansing. AL
though no organized traffic in
drugs has been known to exist in
the penitentiary for some time.
prison officials must always be on
the lookout, according to e. L.
Barrier, member of the state board
of administration.
Recently a large quantity of mar
cotics was discovered concealed in
a package of rolled oats which APP
peared to be in the original carton.
Towels are sometimes soaked in
water saturated with drugs and
then allowed to dry out when they
are passed into convicts. Small
quantities have been hidden under
the postage stamp or under the
sealing flap Of letter.
"Prison officials can tell when
smugglers have been successful by
watching the known addicts," said
Barrier. "If they appear to be
happy 1t is probably true. SO lone
as the penitentiary has confirmed
drug addicts with an intense desire
to satisfy their habit, and there are
persons on the outside willing to
take chance of making large
profits. the prison drug problem
will exist"
Since narcotics are strictly con-
traband in the penitentiary, dis
pensers are able to sell whatever
they smuggle in at profiteerins
prices. dope" with wholesale
value Of $40, 1t is said, may be re-
tailed at 81 a "shot" for total OF
$500.
Vigilance on the part of prison
officials, however. has reduced the
traffic to a minimum, according to
Barrier. and the risks involved In
smuggling counterbalance the pos
sible profits.

CHEAP SKATES.

Cheap skates are men whose
idle lives no sane results are CIV
ing, who loaf and argue while
their wives attempt to earn the liv-
ing. While men OF vim and merit
chase around in high endeavor.
cheap skates sit in the market
place and thrash stale themes for
ever. They play cheap games for
cheaper stakes in joints where
skates assemble, and talk of toll
with hoes and rakes will make
them finch and tremble. Cheap
skates are men who never pay UNI
less through writ or judgment:
their promises of yesterday but
show what bunk and fudge meant.

Their children have to blush for

chaps who have no pride, who'd

more thrifty neighbor. Cheap
skates will borrow book or hen,
they borrow things and break
them, and never bring them back
again unless the peelers make

glories; they hold the shady
benches down, and tell the shady
stories.
