Bruce really felt be had cause thi;
time to be seriously angry. Not only
had he missed the dance, but Murie
had been absolutely rude to both Mrs
Longworth and her daughter. Look
ing at it only from business stand
point this was regretable. Longwortl
could throw good business, the best
that came to the office, his way
Bruce's ambition to make good IN
business and TO repay his father IN
some manner for the disappointment
he had caused him had grown with
his unhappiness at home. Then, too,
when a big deal was in prospect he
became so absorbed he forgot for the
time that his home life was a disap-
puintment and that Muriel was not
the wife he in his innocent. boylsh In
fatuation thought she would be.
So after they reached home he con-
tinued to keep silent and to brood.
Muriel tried by protestations OF love
aud her insistence on the duty he
owed her as his wife to make him
talk or to show some feeling OF pity
for her pretended illness-which was,
after all, real because of her nervous
excitement.
..Neyer mind if he is angry" she
finally said to herself as she retired
to her room, leaving him with n maya
zine in his hand but not reading, as
she knew. He came home with me,
and if he didn't know / had the right
10 his attentions would be different.
BE will be all right in The morning
and got him away from those people
that girl How dare she act as she
did with him-my husband I"
But in the morning Bruce, after an
almost sleepless night, ras still silent,
still nloof. He had tried 10 reason
with himself, TO make excuses for
Muriel. but had been unable to think
of anything save his modification and
his feeling that wife who cared as
much as she always declared she did
would help instead of hinder him with
his business friends.
A frown fingered on his face as
from force of habit he kissed her
gocd-by. But there was no warmth
in the kiss, although she flung her
arms cbout his neck and said:
II knew after you had time 10 think
it over you would see how cruel it was
to insist upon going to that recep-
ton when l you'd rather stay at
home with you. Come home early,
dear. ! will order a good dinner, one

Bruce made no reply. But as ne
swung down the street, never looking
back, although he knew she watched
MIN from the window. he nuttered:
II wonder what kind of man she
thinks i am-trying to square herself
with dinner! l won't go home at
all viii stay down with the boys"
He had a busy day, but the con
dolences of the men in the office be-
cause of Muriel's illness, their talk of
the wonderful time they had dane
ing. the early breakfast before the
party broke up, rasped his nerves and
increased his resentment.
Business finished for the da-, he
strolled over TO the club. played golf
until 1t was too dark TO see any longer
and then joined two bachelors at din
ner. He did not telephone as usual.
Let Muriel worry a bit. She caused
him anxiety and anguish enough.

What's New
in Fashions

Paris, March Am unusual sleeve
on q georgette gown worn here today
is tight at the shoulder and boldly
puffed about the elbow. At that point
it splits and reaches the wrist in two
pointed sections. These are united al
the wrist by a velvet how with long
ends.
Paris, March 1.-The sweater has
given away to the waist coat today.
This novelty, without sleeves, but with
wide arm holes, is usually in a neil
trail tint in some wooden goods. 1t is
embroidered with many horizontal
rows of decoration in individual
shades.
New York. March 2.-Now that
warmer weather is supposedly on the
way, gowns begin to affect bits of fur
trimming. Sometimes these take the
form of fur buckles. A new idea seen
today is a fur bow, fastening the top
of a side drapery.
London, March 2.-Eyen the new
blouses have Joined the conspiracy to
day to make women look as tall and
slim as lamp posts. The new blouses
reach nearly to the hips and. to ac-
centuate this length, they have at
least two vertical rows of ribbon or
embroidery.

The other has undersleeyes, shir.

Possibly he would not draw down the

homers, for it has been shown that a
homer hitter is great drawing card.
Were this to develop, there would in
evitably come a difference of opinion
between Ruth and the club owners. Ruth
might go one way, and the club the
other The thousands who have been
drawn to see the Yanks play chiefly in
the hope of seeing Ruth swat one over
the fence would not be so anxious to
follow the Yank fortunes, for even the
show that home runs afford, as well as
the ball game itself.
Cy Williams has a capital chance to
make a record better than that of
Ruth, better than that of Hornsby of
his own league. who set the National
League mark in 1922. Any ball player
who can swat thirteen home runs by

against him. Williams trouble will be
in trying to maintain such pace on
more force in his swing this year than
last he won't make the ball carry out

short fences to help him.
The Philly contender does not drive
the ball as hard as Ruth does. But for
that matter no one else does. The proof
of the assertion is the record Ruth
holds for clouting the ball farther
than any one else in the game.
There isn't bit of consolation in
the results going on in the western
half of the American League except
to the eastern teams: The Yanks have
wrest1ed both Cleveland and Detroit
to a fall in games of the sort that
both won from New York last year
