Dear Miss Blake: Lam a young
man of 81, and would like you give
me some advice in the following
matter:
was to 4 party the other evening
where / met an old girl friend,
whom I've known for quite a while.
The first part of the evening she
seemed to make SO much over me,
IN fact she always paid a great deal
OF attention to me. but later on in
the evening she eeemed to slight me
and whenever l would say. anything
to her she didn't care to talk.
I don't think she was trying to
slight me for some other fellow
present at the party. because most
OF the girls and fellows present
were engaged.
So l refused to say any more to
her and 1 treated her the same
when it was time to go | didn't say
good night to her.

you give me in this case.

You ought to marry Henry Har-
rison" laughed Jeanne.
She had expected a laugh from
Adele, but received only pensive
smile.
Tive sometimes considered IT,"
the young widow announced. calm
ly, to Jeanne's amszement He's a
nice boy. ] have rather maternal
regard for him. For him, OF
course. NO girl but you exists"
Before Jeanne could reply a bell
boy arrived with a handful OF let
ters. Glancing hastily at the en-
velopes Jeanne noted that three
quarters of them were bills.
She would have to pay something
on account, because these shops
were the ones she particularly
needed for her wedding prepara
tions!
She reached for her bank book
and took a surreptitious glance at
the total sum OF deposits. while
Adele Parkinson poured herself an
other cup OF tea.
Her heart sank as she read the
figures. Then in a flash she 'remem-
bered the cheque Candy had told
her was waiting for her at his Of
fee.
She hadn't seen him since the
night of her engagement announce
ment. when he had proffered con-
ventional congratulations
Was he angry. she wondered?
As IL reading her thoughts Adele
Parkinson remarked: -
Il note the absence of our little
Dicky. Is he sulking over losing
the price"
Il don't know" confessed Jeanne.
He hasn't called or sent mes
sage since the night of my party.
You don't really think he cared for
me. do you?''
beware Of Candy:
Dick cares for anything he can't
have. He's a man in that respect.
In most others he's good deal Of
a cad"
Jeanne raised her brows.
Il thought you had been friends
once"
You're only friends once with
Dick Candy" said Adele. NO girl
with a grain OF sense under her
bobbed hair comes back for more"
He has been very Hind to me-"
confessed Jeanne. Il wonder" she
looked at Adele with puckered
brows. "I wonder if you'll advise
me-"
On a sudden impulse she told the
young widow about the lucky stock
investment in which Candy had
placed his own money as security
for her.
Shall I go down to his office and
.sBe the cheque after reimbursing z
him for his initial investment. .
What would you advise?"
Stay away" replied Adele.
promptly. Don't fool with Dick
Candy now that you're vic's hsncee.
Do you actually need money!"
Jeanne hesitated.
She was a tribe alarmed by
AdeIe's vehemence on the. subjec,
OF Candy. And yet she must have
money at once.
Hesitatingly she gave a plausible
explanation. -.
You see. a great deal of my
money IS tied up in real estate and
-er-long-term investments. I
shall need a lot OF ready money for
my trousseau and all the details OF
my wedding preparations. OF course.

ateIy to dispose OF some of my

and laid her hand earnestly on
