N n EANWHILE, the social year
N rose toward its height. New
Year Day was to fall on n
Sunday, and Mrs. Throckmorton in
cluded the four young people in
plans for a small but select house
party at the Throckmortons tiny
cabin up in the great forest of
Mountainhead.
Hilarious plans for woodhres. for

Immediately declined: Beatrice, who
would have been mad with Joy At
the mere thoughtSof such a distinc-
tion q few months ago, was half
hearted. and Dan and Patricia, ac-
cepting, told each other that 1t was
merely to be polite. Nobody at the
Palmer house was in house party
mood.
Early on Saturday morning. the
last day of the old year. Patricia
walked downtown and stopped ut
the studio to say goodby to Helena.
1t was only 8 o'clock. but she knew
that Sidney was riding with Bea-
trice. and purposely chose for her
call q time when she need not meet
him. ~
She climbed the familiar stairs
with a pang at her heart for the
old happy times that were ended
now and came upon Helena just as
the girl was finishing the last pack
ing.
The studio looked bare and de-
serted already. Cold morning light
poured through the north windoy
and the fire was fed merely by the
odds and ends that Helena discard

"At o'clock"
Patricia's face was thoughtful.

Helena tackled q card upon the

a swift glance. Probably never"
she answered dryly.

BURY PAST.

To Just Mary:
I see no reason why you should
be a branded woman. People are
growing more broadminded every
day, and some until they have had
experience, hold to nodded ideas.
II you tell your fance, he may
never forgive you. and you are not
to blame. The man that took ad-
vantage OF your youth, trust, and
love, should be brought to justice.
Few men are capable of judging
a case of circumstance such as
yours, because men can do as they
please, and woman must do to
please them. Let your past be dead,
