ought to act, and, best Of all, her

~ ASSING down Regent street
Joan noticed a superb
motor car standing at the
curb by a jewelers. shop, and
close by it was q man in livery
whose face was so familiar that
she stopped, hardly knowing why.
Then she saw that 1t was her late
chauffeur from Grosvenor Square.
The man, who was looking
rather glum, recognized Joan at
once. He started slightly and
saIuted her most respectfully.
Joan colored a little, said a word
to him, smiling, and was about
to pass on when Emmie touched
her on the arm.
who's this?" exclaimed En-
mic, pointing to a striking looking
girl, superbly dressed, who at
that moment came out of the
jewelers.. The color left Joan's
cheeks.
Its Lady TaNbois"' she whis-
pered, and tried ito hurry past.
But Agnes had seen her, and. an
angry flash in her eyes, barred
the way.

uncontrollably. you brat Of the

YOU, an that dude who was fool
enough to marry you! Thief"
Joan stood white and horror
stricken. Emmie gave little
gasp. Every red hair on her head
seemed to bristle. She strobe
past Joan, her arm swung back
and she dealt Lady llbois an
honest, open-handed slap across
the cheek that made her stagger.
That's for you said Emmie,

"Emmie" cried Joan, aghast.
An inhuman fury convulsed the
dark features of Lady Tallbois.
She whipped a long jeweled hat
pin from her toque, and with a
sharp GRIP she sprang at Emmie
like a tigress.
She reckoned without her host.
Emmie caught both her wrists
with a grip of steel and drew one
across the other, holding her help
less. A cry of pain broke from
her, the hat-pin tinkled to the
pavement, and Emmie kicked it
into the roadway. A policeman
who had seen the affray came
hurrying to the spot.

flung Agnes contemptuously into

Household Hints

The inexperienced ironer often
fails in ironing embroidered
blouses and collars. The object
should be to keep the design i'm
pressed. To do this, go to work
in the following way: Fold q
Turkish towel into four, place
the article to be .ironed on it.
right side downward, and iron;
you will find the result most sat
isfactory. The same method
should be adopted in ironing
blouses and other garments with
pearl buttons. The buttons sink
into the towel. and this keeps
them from breaking.
Decanters are best cleaned by
filling them with strips OF brown
paper and cold water. They
should be quite full. Shake the
paper about and leave for a time.
Then empty.

The Selfish Lover.

DEAR MISS FA1RFAA;
have been going about
with a man ten years my senior
for two years. About year ago
he told me that he loved me.
Still, he has not asked the one
question that, to my mind, should
follow such a declaration. DO
you think he is sincere? I am
anxious to know whether he in
tends to marry me. Is there any
tactfui way that you could sug-
gest that / could find out? I
dislike to ask him Ibis inten-
TONS" r. A. F.
THIS is a situation in which it
is difficult to be "tactful,"
and yet most women would hest
tate to be direct. A girl know
found herself in just this position
a while ago, and determined that
she would end her own suspense
at any cost. So she managed to
get a chance at a good position
in another city. Then she went
to the man and told him that
she was going away. He was
amazed, and, waking at once
from his selfish satisfaction in a
love which made no demands on
him, he insisted that the girl
stay-and marry him at once.
Possibly it is just inertia with
the man you love, it may be self
ishness, and it may be that he
isn't able to assume the burden
and responsibility of marriage.
But a man owes his confidence
and loyalty and honest dealing to
a girl he claims to love. Feel
that you have a right to these
things. Demand them-and you
are likely to get them.

ADVICE TO LOVELORN
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

, see these two boys very often,
and it seems that they would like
to speak to us, but we don't
know how to take it, and pass
right on. We would gladly talk
to them, as they were very nice
to us when we used to go out
with them. MEG.
nON'T you see how foolish all
~ this pride of yours is? The
boys are just as absurd as you
are, but little humor to laugh
off the situation and little good
nature to meet it pleasantly
would do wonders to restore a
friendship you don't need to lose.
Next time you meet the boys,
stop and talk in friendly, natural
fashion. But don't quarrel and
start discussing who is to blame
and who should have said this or
done that

AN ABSORBING SERIAL OF EARLY Welded LIFE
CarlOtta Comes Into the Open and Declare
Her Intention of Letting Tony
Know She Loves Him. ..
BY Ann Isle,

~ HE day after Carlotta's re-
turn I plunged deep into
work. 1t was nearing din
ner time before I realized that I
couldn't dine with Carlotta be-
cause OF my theater engagement.
Ordinarily I'd have felt that my
frank friendliness with Park and
Ralph Lacy justified me in ask
ing them to include Carlotta at
least in the dinner party. But the
combination Of Carlotta and Mabel
has been demonstrated as inn
possible.
In spite of the fact that when
Carlotta and started living un-
der the same roof we voted for
absolute independence and free.
dom, I didn't want Carlotta to
go through a long, dreary evening
alone just yet. So / called the
office and asked for Neal. I gave
him a quick sketch OF the situa-
ton and my feelings concerning
it.
Hold onv' he cried, with his
quick, warm reaction. Nothing
could be better than for Carlotta
and Phoebe and yours truly to
have a little theater party Of
their own. Twill do both the
girls a world of good to get right
out into the whirl where they
can enjoy themselves and see
other folks doing It, too. Thanks
for the tip, Babbsie, dear. and
excuse little brother if he hustles
right around on the trail OF his
party"
A NEW NOTE.

feeling of warm satisfaction get
from all my dealings with Neal

preparatory to going home and
making ready for the evening.
Miss May had already left,
since her trip home was so long
that she needed a few minutes
start in order not to be too badly
handicapped for lack Of time.
Just as / was ready to switch
out the lights and hurry off, the
telephone demanded attention.
Carlotta's voice came over the
wire. It held a lit of laughter
plus a Tilt of triumph.
