Martha told herself that she would
not see Perry again. He attracted
her, and to encourage him would be
playing with fire. And yet, all the

him to call her on the telephone.
Each time she took the receiver off
the hook she expected to hear his
voice.
In the afternoon she went out for a

she was thinking great deal about
him, was allowing him to obtain a
grip on her imagination, when, after
all, he probably thought no more
about her than he did about any
casual acquaintance.
She resolved to put him out of her
thoughts, and yet when she returned
to the apartment she questioned Hilda
closely as to the telephone messages.
She was keenly disappointed to know
that he had not called her. And yet
why should he? There was no reason
in the world why she should expect
such a thin g.
AT 4:3O the bell rang, and Martha s
heart leaped. She sat motionless
while sHilda went to the door, and the
sound of Natalies voice in the hall
brought Martha a keen sense of dis
appointment. She was quite COM
posed, however, when Natalie came
into the living room, and she looked
up expectantly as the girl threw her
self into a chair.
did you have a good time dear?"
Martha's tone was eager. She would
try to pierce Natalie's Indifference, to
get closer to her. A companionship
with Natalie would mean everything
in her life. She could be interested
enough in Natalie's affairs to forget
about her own, if only Natalie would
be friends.

She had lighted cigarette and was

She was crushing out her cigarette
as she spoke, and almost Immediately
she lighted another one.
Natalie, don't you smoke a great

gently remonstrative, but Natalie only
laughed.
"Of course I do, do everything to

Young girls must wear youthful

colors and coats of rougher materials

Ask yourself If the coat is in good

know that a Summer coat may be Of
light cheviot or satin, but that a

Ignorance.

i A6 AVA6A4CCs
| Fear Of admitting ignorance is only
| another form Of vanity.
Because we like to think that we
are wise in every way, we resent
! others discovering that there are
things which we know nothing about.
| When Ethel first started her mar
ried life, she found herself up to the
ears in difficulties about homework.
She didn't know a thing in the
| world about the grand old job of being
a good wife, and friend husband was
/ getting wise to the fact.
In the same apartment house with
Ethel and her young husband lived
one Of Els old friends-Helen.
Helen had always been rather
dull sort Of person-she hadn't had
! the same gay rush and counting which
| come to most girls.
She had ambled along in a placid
| way, had married some one nobody
happily without creating any atten-
ton.
She was fond Of Ethel and liked
running into see her old friend at odd
times during the day.
"Ye gods" she exclaimed one day
as she caught Ethel in the kitchen
performing weird rites on a helpless
chicken. That's not the way to pre-
pare a chicken for roasting! Let me
show you howl!
mo, thanks" Ethel retorted light
ly-but coldly, very coldly. Bob
likes the way cook, so guess that 8
good enough for me-"
After Helen had gone she worked
herself into a perfect fury over the
matter.
How dare that insignificant Helen
Brady tell her how to manage her
affairs? Helen was a nobody-stupid
and uninteresting. Where did she
get off giving advice about anything
But still. when she heard glowing
reports Of Helen's cooking, Helen's
thrift, Helen's excellent system Of
housekeeping, she grew wistful
II only she hadn't been so snippy
to H. If only she had had the cour-
age to ask the other girl how she
managed so well.
1t was only after the most desperate
struggle with her own pride that she
approached her old friend, and ad-
mitted frankly that she needed help.
She wasted six months because Of
her prfde-six months OF bad meals
for Bob and big expense accounts for
both.
And there are thousands of'girls all
over the country who are obstinately
going about things in their own way,
refusing aid from others, simply be-
cause they're ashamed Of what they
don't know.
Peggy, for instance, refuses to ad-
NIT to her best friend. Carol, that she
doesn't know how to dress, and would
give anything in the world to learn.
She goes def1antly along, selecting
her own clothes, wearing them in the
wrong way and looking perfectly
dreadful.
She's. aware Of what people say
about her costumes-she knows that
Carol would be delighted to help her
but she doesn't want to lower her
dignity by asking for assistance.
She's losing time and popularity.
Ask for all the help you can get.
Forget your pride If it stands In the
way Of your advancement. Don't
