Novelist.

He often wondered about Mrs.
Crotenberg. 1t was apparent to
him now that she had tried to
make him break with Marjorie
for good. She had given him dis
torted accounts, leading him to
think she had ceased to care
about him. He could not make
up his mind how much had been
calculated mischief, how much
prompted by unhappy love. Now
he was hearing from his wife's
own lips how lonely she had been
without him, how she had missed
him, and how she had been tor
mented by casual remarks from
Mrs. Grotenberg about himself.
IN spite of these evidences of du-
plicity, Philip told himself he had
the memory Of some wonderfully
happy hours in the company of this
woman,-hours untrammeled by
any unworthy motive, - hours
when their intimacy had been as
fine and as worthy as any rela-
tionship he had ever known.

desiring Marjorie to run the risks

only one who was pleased; she
was as excitedly delighted as if
the coming baby were to be her
own.
Philip had no alternative but to
accept Mrs. Jones back into his
home. Their attitude toward one
another since his reunion with his
wife had been in the nature of a
truce. Occasionally he detected
an ill-concealed expression of i'm
patience on his mother-inlaw's
face; and he often coldly stared
at her, when she volunteered
advice, or commented on what he
considered did not concern her.
With her daughters need, Mrs.
Jones threw self-restaint to the
winds, and flew to Marjorie's side,
assuming entire charge of her
and Of her affairs. Philip had to
submit: he could not deny that,

she was able to do for him and

torial ways.

EASILY MADE
SWEATERS
BY RITA sTUYVESANT.

w AVE you ever heard Of
making knitted sweater
Ia from material that is al
ready knitted? This is the newest
fad for the summer season. It is
so quick and easy to make
sweater of this type that rarely
do you hear the click of knitting
needles any more.
There is a very attractive knit
ted fabric that comes at consider
ably less than five dollars yard,
and it is excellent for the sleeve
less sweater. It is designed with
an elaborate Egyptian border
about fourteen inches deep, and
is shown in exquisite colorings.
It is not necessary to seam the
underarm in this type of coat
sweater. for there is a seam only
across the shoulders. The front,
neck, and armholes are bound in
contrasting silk braid. This coat
sweater, with it's clever tuxedo
lines, goes nicely with a silk
sport shirt, and pleated skirt.
Another attractive sweater that
you can easily make from knitted
sport material is a sleeveless

hole deep and the neck rather
high. Seams tho shoulders and
underarms, and bind the Jaw
edge also. with the silk braid.

an interesting trimming. This
sweater should be worn with a
Bramley blouse or silk sport shirt
with round collar outside the
sweater. A narrow black string
tie will add considerable charm.
The waistcoat sweaters may
also be made to suit individual
taste. These have the front If a

HARVESTING FAULTS
fPORTANT TO ANALYZE ONES WEAKNESSES

happy, you are bound to find an
unguessed measure of Happiness:
for yourself.
Suppose you are sharp-tongued
and sarcastic. Isn't this likely to
be because you fear that other
folks will hurt you and are pro-
tecting yourself by hurting them
instead?
The braggart often swaggers
because he is afraid folks will find
out to how little he really
amounts. The lazy man some
times doubts his ability to accom-
plish anything If he did go to
work and prefers doing nothing to
being revealed as inefficient.
Most faults come from some
secret fear Of having the truth
about ourselves revealed. And
now we are at the root Of the
whole matter. Almost every
fault in the world can be traced
to fear. We make up our ghosts
and then insist tina. they are
real.
Try this for a change: Look
your handicap squarely in the
eye. See what power you are
giving to it by believing that It
is real. Recognize that it has no
place to exist except in your con-
seriousness. Refuse to give it
lodging there.
Instead of saying: I'm the
most sensitive person in the
world" say: I'm so absorbed in
thinking about myself that 1
never stop to think about all the
folks hurt"
And then try being kind and
thoughtful. Go out of your way
to be friendly and obiiging. Never
mind whether or not you get
gratitude and appreciation. Just
make it your task to be kind.
Grow interested in being kind.
And watch your own nature
changing to a warm, open one
the sort which finds opportunity
and happiness.
The same treatment will handle
jealousy-which comes Of nothing
in the world but fear of losing
the interest of the one you love.
But why need you lose it IL you
are generous and kind and under
standing? Who can "cut you
out" If you give enough to hold
what you feel Is yours?
Get to the root of your handi-
cap. Recognize the fear of loss
which testers there. Dig UP the
fear and put courage and kind
ness there. And soon your
"handicaps" will be working for
you instead of against you.

CHAPTER VII.

In the spring of the. following
year the Spanish war broke OUT
and Wilbur Lansing enlisted in
one Of the volunteer organizations
for service in the Philippines. For
several weeks he was encamped
in the Preside, where Philip and
Marjorie frequently visited him
in the evenings, and strolled
among the rows Of tents with the
crowds from the city. Philip
would dearly have liked to go with
his friend when he sailed in June,
but he was tied at home by his
wife and the prospect of a baby
in a few months.
Marjorie had rebelled against
the complication of a child from
the very first, and Philip had
been sorry, too, for he had no
particular desire for a family. and
it was hard to watch Martorie's
distress when she began to suffer
from nausea and helplessness,
and to listen to her stormy COM
plants and tears. Mrs. Jones
hurried home from st. Louis,
when she heard the news, and her
agitated concern over her daugh-
ter's condition filled them both
with nervous apprehension. She

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am girl of twenty
three and met & young man
who is five years my senior
at my Cousins house last April.
We have been going out since.
Last week he told me he had
quarreled at home. This young
man was keeping company with
a girl. and broke off before he
met me.
Now his people want him to
make up and marry this girl.
He refused. I told him he
shouldn't come to see me any
more and that he could make
up with the other girl. We
parted, but a week later he
came to see me again and said
it was impossible to leave me
as it would break his heart.
Do you think I did wrong by
telling him to go back TO the
other girl? / love him very
much, but am afraid that if I
do marry him, his people will
make it hard for me.
A CONSTANT READER.
THE mans people don't know
you, so naturally they take
no interest in you. But don't
conclude that they would not
grow fond Of you if they knew
you. Since the man and you
care for each other and are ma
ture enough to understand your
own feelings, why martyr your
self by trying to force him to re-
turn to a sweetheart in whom he
had lost interest even before he
came to know and love you?
