| with Elmer in front Of Marcy's. Tears
came to her eyes, sobs choked her
and she sank, weary and defeated. In
to a chair. What allied her, anyway?
She hadn't mite Of backbone left.
OF course, it was Clarice. She
couldn't combat Clarice. Neither could

while, and then he and Clarice had a

him pay for it later. She wondered

serve with Clarice-that is, just or

Eleven thirty-five. BY this time
Elmer had given up in disgust and
gone to seek his lunch. Likely she
would never see him again, for he
| only got as far East as this once in a
decade Still a bachelor, doubtless,
fine and clean and outstanding. With
money, too, and good business. Poor
John hadn't been successful. But for
her small inheritance they would have
often been pinched considerably. 1t
was this same inheritance upon which
she was living now. She paid for
everything herself, even the hats
Clarice picked out for her.
Eleven fifty! She sat staring at the
rug. wondering whether life had any
real value after all.
A bell was ringing! The telephone
no, the doorbell. Mrs. Granger of the
next apartment to borrow something
for lunch.
She opened the door, looking where
Mrs. Granger's pudgy face ought to
be and saw with astonishment
mans shirt 'front.' above the shirt
front was the kind, slightly humorous
and very winning face of an elderly
man. He had an umbrella and a box
under his arms.
He shook hands and stepped in.

"Oh. Elmer, I'm that glad" Her

beautiful. "Sit down, Elmer. Make

Time to Cut It Short.

How often have you heard two
girls who for years have been bosom
friends eating" each other fiercely
behind each others backs? Pretty
frequently. l guess.
And yet these two sOlemnly assure
the world that they're the best of
friends-why. they've gone together
for years and never had a real quarrel
They'd Indignantly f1out the idea
that they're each others worst en-
emies-laugh scornfully and point to
the long record of beautiful friendship
which is theirs.
Yet there are more girl friends jog
Cling along together scratching and
biting and nagging at each other than
half the world dreams.
There was the glorious comradeship
Of Natalie and Ethel-pals for years,
devoted to each other-that sort of
thing.
Yet Natalie's eyes, when her friend
appeared arrayed in a stunning new
fur coat, did not express pleasure
they narrowed with jealousy.
Quick praise sprang to her lips inn
inediately, however. Perfectly stun
ming, my dear-simply stunning" "
then, But why in the world did you
get caracul? That's done to death.
Personally. I'm going to have squirrel
That's Natalies little way of telling
Ethel that she's only a half-timer,
after all.
And Ethel is just as bad with Nat.
Let her pal rave ecstatically over a
new conquest-and Ethel has a half
dozen stories to prove that the new
conquest is nobody at all. Ethel will
take all the glory out of any triumph
Of Natalie's just as fast as she pos
sibly can.
The second Natalie is in discreet
company, where she can talk freely,
she will open an attack on her best
friend: I'm sorry about EthelS new
coat. It's so cheaploOking, don't you
think? Poor kid, she hasn't bit of
taste" etc.
Those two girls are nastier to each
other and ABOUT each other than any
TWO Of the worlds worst enemies, yet
they continue to see each other as
often as possible and to keep up the
pretense of friendship.
What's the answer? Why, they're
not suited to be friends at all. They
never were; only they got used to
each other-sort Of formed habit of
being together, and neither has had
the initiative to break away.
They aren't really fond of each
other-their only delight now lies in
EettlnG the better OF edCn OtHeT-
Natalie gets new man-her first
thrill comes when she dashes over to
tell Ethel who has been desperately
striving for the same man for weeks.
Ethel hears any good news Natalie
has to tell with a scornful half smile
on her lips.
Each is so desperately afraid of the
others asserting superiority that she
refrains from praise except where it's
absolutely necessary.
That kind of friendship should be
cut short Immediately. It's IA mockery
and it's a dangerous paStime.
If your only active pleasure in see
ing your chum is to make her feel
your greatness-to impress her with
some beautiful new thing you have,
and she hasn't-then make up your
mind that the time has come to break
off relationship which doesn't mean
anything and which may lead to trOu-
ble for both of you.

Afterward they sat by the hot

the perfume of roses and rejoiced In
each other and made plans.
She was not unprepared when he
asked her to marry him at once and
go home with him. 1t seemed beauti-
full and natural when he told her that
he had loved her always and wanted
her long before she married John.
"Ill have to tell Ben and Clarice,"
she said. She wondered what Clarice
would say. Somehow suddenly she
did not care.
Her voice was steady as she gave
her message over the telephone.
