CHARACTERS IN THE STORY

Continued from Yesterday.
When Jane got out on the street.
she was at a loss to know which
way to turn. She couldn't go back
TO the ofice-it would be too humil-
atins to tell Mr.. Roberts how Harry
had failed to keep his appointment.
She couldn't go home, either. Jane
resolved at Jnce not to tell her
mother. 1t would hurt her pride to
think that her daughter could be
treated so disrespectfully. There
seemed nothing to do. but stroll
about looking in shop windows, and
after a little OF that Jane wearied.
There tere so many beautiful
things in the world for other women.
Why should she even look at these
fineries she could not afford? 1t
made Jane radical, She hated the
whole system of things at that
moment. She realized that Harry
Roberts. with all his millions. could
buy anything he wanted from life
with no questions asked. Jane
thought again Of that girl Flo. Flo.
and the others-beautiful and decked
out in radiant clothes! No wonder
Harry had overlooked her, Jane
looked down upon her new gown
that represented such extravaganza
for her. and thought bitterlyo that
girls like Flo would probably snifr at
II as tust-ready made!
Then she passed an office building
She thought the name familiar, and
suddenly remembered that this build
ing was where little Hattie worked.
Hattie had been getting on famously

for moment in the lobby and looked
for the name on the directory.
Hattie had often begged her to call
but James work kept her so busy
she had never found an opportunity.
Jane loved her protege dearly, and
often in moments of discouragement,
1t was cheering to have Hattie fling
her arms forth, and declare her
utter and undying admiration. On
this afternoon. when James pride
was so hurt and heart so heavy, the
idea of visiting for a few moments
with Hattie offered some relief.
Jane found Hattie busily tapping
away at her typewriter. She flung
aside her work tempestuously. and
rushed up to embrace her friend.
You dear. I'm so glad you
came" she cried happily.
was Just by this way.
You look wonderful Hattie
raved in her usual gushing manner.
"Whert did you get that mag
nihcent dress?"
Magnificent" Jane smiled a bit
cynically. It's just a ready-made. "
It's Eorgeous" Hattie declared.
And then she went on explainins
her duties in the office. Jane was

to see her system of files. hurried
into Mr.. Carruthers' private office
to see how fine it was.
He's so good-lOoking. and so
sweet! Hattie vouchsafed intimate
ly. I'm sure you will be perfectly
crazy about him"
I'm not much interested in men,
you know" Jane reminded Hattie
calmly. After that AFFAIR with Har-
y Roberts Jane was sure that she
would avoid all men for life!

John Whitley said that when he
first met Bessie Simmons the girl
did not even have a pair of shoes.
He took pity on her, he said, and
bought a lot of nice things for her.
He even went broke, he declared.
notwithstanding all this, John
argued. Bessie transferred her af-
fections to another man and gave
him the gate. The split happened
last Christmas Day, he said, and
spoiled his Yuletide holiday COM
pletely.
The other day, Bessie said, John
came across the street to where
she lived and threatened to buy
her a ticket to the other side of
the River Jordon.
"Ah coted dat woman TO- two

Horoscope
FRIDAY, April. IA, 1922.

This is not an important day in
planetary direction, according to
astrology. Saturn is in strongly
benefic aspect in the evening, while
Jupiter and Mercury are mildly ad-
verse earlier in the day.
1t is a time especially promis-
ing to real estate interests and
presages much activity, especially
in Western cities.
The trend will be toward large
enterprises and there will be many
cooperative projects, il the stars

During this configuration persons
past middle life should be es-

makes for added Difference toward
their opinions and increased ability
TO have wise policies they direct

This should be a most favorable
rule under which to attend to
gardening, which each year is to
occupy more attention in the United
States.
While this sway is favorable to
real estate IT is not a good one for
signing leases or entering into any
sort of written contracts.
The elevated position of Venus
in trine to Mars and Neptune is
read as foreshadowing many ro-
mances among prominent men and
women. Those who are not young
may be the most foolish, it is
prognosticated.
