 1t was by no means easy for me at this time Lucille had given up none of her young friends because of Starr, in fact. she only gave him an occasional evening that before she had spent with them But she was dissatisfied if she were not out every evening dancing or at the theatre-then dancing after ward-and three or four afternoons each week at tea dances in different hotels

CHATTER 2
CHATTER N ORT came in soon after Lucille I'VE and Keith Starr left. told him fhpv had Rone aut hnwr I felt

CHAPTER M ORT came in soon after Lucille lH and Keith Starr left told
 him they had gone out, how felt about it.
 You can't blame the child, all she says is true. Stnrr is a rich man and can entertain her in good shape She's sore because she can't do as she used to. l wouldn't oppose her much just now. Perhaps things will pick mp after a while. And Starr is a decent sort In fact, I don't know but that she is safer with him than with the boys. Young fellows go it pretty fast now adays."
 I knew this was true, and from Lucille herself. Yet I couldn't feel reconciled to her accepting attentions from Starr. 4 man as old as Mort
 I was surprised by a visit from Mary. She came to see us but seldom and when she did come it was almost always to take Lucille out with her
 Where's Lucile." she asked as soon as she was seated
 She's gone out to call on one of the girls" I replied.
 Good! I wanted to talk to you about her." I looked my surprise She's going out with Keith Starr. I hear. Is she going to marry him.
 Good heavens, mol!
 Then you'd better stop her intimacy with him. People are talking" There was venom in Mary-s voice unusual to her careless manner of expressing herself.
 What are they sayingr' I kept 8 tight hold of myself.
 What do they say. when q young girl of Lucile's age let's a man like Star monopOiize ker."
 You introduced them I said. some of the indignation felt in my voice
 ''Of course I did. But I never dreamed Lucille would make a dead set for him-as she. has done I thought his age prerluded that, if I gave it thought at ~ll. wanted to warn you. that WAS all !"
 Lucille csrae ir delighted to see Mary. and we had 10 further chance to talk, for which I was sorry Lucile spoke frankly of Starr. told Mary of the good times sSe had had with him. But Mar. was not herself and hurried away without asking Lucille to accom- pany her
 What hava I done to offend Aunt Nary she aSt~d II never saw her so queer. I'll bet she's cross about Keith Starr-jealOus"
 The same thought had been in my mind. Mary had wanted his atten- tions, his flowers, herself Naturally would not eoncede this to Lucille Her aunt was a married woman So made some excuse for her and at the same time tried to warn Lucille that people would talk if she went out with Starr often.
 That Mary would resent it enough to try to hurt us never entered my mind; that she was pigued she plainly

She Has A Tendency To Feel Superior
 Ts Her Husband. Writer Says
 Girls who have made their living by teaching the young idea seldom make perfect wives The reason they do not make perfect wives is not because of their want of experience, however, but for the same reason that the leader of the orchestra would frOth at the mouth when invited to play second fiddle.
 The teacher deals with little follows who are almost wholly empty of knOwl- edge Because she now knows so much more than they even hope to learn. they stand always agape with awe Every feminine pedagOgue IS a heroine to her pupils She is Caesar The pupils are but slaves eager to win her good will.
 Let any man be told a sufficient num- Der of times that he is a wonder. and he will begin to need q steel hatband. Let the SchOOlma' am labor for two or more years in an atmosphere of adOra- tiOn- where her store of knowledge is many times greater than the store pos seSsed by amy of her pupils, and she will be ready to accept the verdict of the youngsters that one small head does well to contain all the knowledge she has accumulated
 Now let her marry, and the fun be- gins
 Her husband Is not d hero. but a small boy in all ways similar to those she WreStled in the third grade Her husband has forgotten all he ever knew of algebra. She feels superior to him.
 As to money. she no longer expects payment for hel labOrs at the end of each month She must ask for what she gets Let her love as she will, her pride will crinse and her voice will shake when she asks for money to buy new fFOek. Shame will be her daily portion She will long for the flesh pots of Egypt And unless she is hand led tactfuIly she will be clamOring for independence within a fortnight, and the only way one can keep her con tented Is to deliver up the family purse so that she may take what she will, and to confess daily that he was very lucky to win such a prize in a world full of ordinary wOmen-Baltimore Sun.

Today's Short Story

..>.. ..Ald sOuDeu nyste.1aaly. II mad never occurred to her that .er actions might be misconstrued. Why, what would people think? A spinster-en- tering a gentleman's apartment through a window! The Bachelor would laugh at her-if he didn't have her arrested. He would tell the neigh bors and she would be pointed out as the old maid who had entered a gentle man't apartment-without permission. Of course she could move, hut things would leak out, and she was so com forable in her hOmely little flat. It was no use. Wherever she went she was bound to be a laughing stock, an object of scorn. Decent people would never abide her.
 Just as she reached this melancholy point in her meditations the dOorbell rang. The Bachelor Girl shuddered. Perhaps the landlord had already heard of her escapade. No doubt he had come to order her from the house, out of the apartment she had become so att tached to. Still, she must opeA the door. The bell was ringing clamorously. She splashed water over her face and hands to conceal the traces of tears. but she couldn't wash the pink flash of excitement out of her cheeks, and it was a very timid, very self-conscious. but quite goood looking Bachelor Girl who opened the door. The person who faced her, however, was not the land- lord. It was the Bachelor. She al- most swoOned
 May I-please-come in?" said he.
 At the sound of his voice, SO like that of humble little boy, the Bache- Tor Girl recovered her pOise. At any rate, he wasn't laughing at her. So she invited him into her neat little living room, where he seated himself, and looked and looked at her, as if he could never look enough. At length he spoke, in low, earnest voice.
 'I am grateful to you, grateful Not only for the things you have done, but for letting me discover, in this large, unfriendly city, one so kind and neigh borly and unSelfish"
 He paused a moment. The Bachelor Girl was now completely. at her ease.
 The Bachelor was simply a great big boy who had discovered a friend. and it was delightful privilege to be that friend
 ''I had desire" continued the Bach elor, -to write stories. For years I never gave it up. I wrote and wrote, and. in spite of what the copy books say, my patience wasn't rewarded. It became painfully clear to me finally that as a writer of fiction I would never be a shining light, so I turned my attention to text-books-with this result" And he proudly displayed to the Bachelor Girls appreciative eye check for $500. ''I got it this morn ing, and it is only a beginning. I shall get royalties, and they are asking for more textbooks. YOu-yOu will not find it necessary to provide me food again."
 "I am glad." murmured the Bache- Tor Girl. She was, but somehow or other there was something missing from her gladness. She was no longer free to love the Bachelor unknown and in peace.
 "Will-wilI you dine with me this evening at Penelli's?" asked the Bach elOr.
 Without thinking the Bachelor Girl said yes.
 On his third visit he brought the ring.
