is well known that modern men often

CHE was not brilliant and her family
IkD f.;.l, .o;,ti11otod

CHE was not brilliant and her tamiiy
~ fairly scintillated. -,
She loved her home and she didn { go
in for any women's clubs or current
event classes or political clubs or any
thing like that.
And her family were all interested In
al the new thoughts and ideas, in poll
tics, in the situat' on Of the world mere
and abroad. and everything like that.
She loved them all, but--somcthlng
must be wrong, she thought.
Perhaps she was not daughter and
a sister TO them; perhaps she had been
Il foundling.
The idea grew upon her until she tor
turcd herself with it and finally began
to believe il.
She went away to visit an aunt who
lived in the town where she had been
brought up. and there she found n girl
who had been born the same night she
was in the hospital.
There had been terrible storm that
night. and it was just possible, the
"misfit" decided, that she and this girl
had been mixed up in the excitement and
given to the wrong families.
YTHE other girl was the wild, undis-
L ciplined member of quiet clergy
mans family.
SO the suspicion seemed to be proved
the "misfit" was really the clergyman
daughter. while the other girl with her
wild desire for money and luxuries. her
interest in the "big things Of life. was
really member Of the family that the
"misfit" loved so well, although she
was so totally different from all OF them.
II is all in q very sweet story which
has a delightfully."- happy ending.
1t isn't always that story like this
does end happily in real life.
Sometimes the lonely little girl-or
boy-who feels misunderstood and out
of things broods in silence until the
unhappy thoughts get too strong hold
on her.

sidered doing anything to make the

Photos from The Merry widow
Narrow lines Of trimming that form
the important part of the shoulders of
an evening frock may be brought on
down to the waistline, where they curve
in to an appropriate finish. This breaks
the unbecoming "camisole" effect that
short strap gives and shows off the
trimming better. If, like Mabel Nor
mand, you prefer lace bands on your
mctalline trock, you can draw them over
the girdle and allow their lace edged
points to fasten on the outside.
