Polly was unhappy-blue and dis.
couraged. She said she was tired of
trying to keep up with her friends.
II haven't the money to do the
things they do" she told me. And
yet I'm aware of their severe criticism
If I don't measure up to their stand
ards.
They're wonderful bunch of girls,
and just adore going with them, but
they're so hard to keep up with. For
| instance, if / wear an imitation silver
fox fur when they're all wearing the
genuine article. l feel cheap and l
know they're snickering and compar-
| ing.
"Unless I have exactly the right
shade Of slippers to go with each dress,
1 feel uncomfortable, for l can see
their eyes-and they look contempt
uous.
DO all girls of moderate circum'
stances have these trials? Why are
=, friends so difficult to get along with?
| Why can't l be easy and natural with
them?"
Polly virtually accused her friends
of being unkind, you see. She didn't
trust their friendship
She suspected them of so little sin
certify as to laugh at her when her
clothes weren't just up to form. She
| considered herself NORTHUMBERLAND
indeed she was, If these friends of hers
were all she feared them to be.
| Yet a suspicion came to my mind
that Polly herself was somewhat to
| blame for the discomfort she felt with
| her friends.
| The suspicion came as Polly and /
| entered as an old-fashioned apartment
house, in the vestibule of which we
| found a woman struggling with the
| front door lock.
The woman was poor, evidently,
and her fur coat was a marvel to be-
hold-sort of dyed tomcat effect with
| trimmings of some even more mys-
ferrous animal. A battered red hat
and red shoes completed a startling
costume.
We helped the apparition to enter
the house and Polly snickered She
snickered so loudly that the battered
figure turned and stared in some CON
fusion-then turned a dark, fiery red.
Il couldn't help it," Polly giggled to
me. "She is too dreadful. don't you
think? Such taste
The unfortunate creature was hurry
ing upstairs and missed the unkind re
mark. but she hadn't missed the
giggle.
Polly's unkindness had hurt a fellow
being. And yet Polly wondered why
she in turn should meet with unkind-
ness from those she considered her
friends.
AS long as she continues to criticize
and ridicule what she considers in
ferior taste in dress, she must expect
to read criticism and ridicule into
every glance from those she considers
superior to her.
She needn't hope for kindness while
her own attitude is unkind.
Her own mind will convince her of
others lack of sympathy if she herself
is not sympathetic.
She will only select those friends
who are like herself--and at the pres
ent writing that would be an unfortu-
nate selection.
Until she learns kindness, she will
not find that quality in others.

CHAPTER XIII.
Paris.

Paris Sally would never forget her
first view of it. and yet her first few
days were tinged with the memory of
her good-by to Allen Leigh.
At Cherbourg a tender had come out
from shore for them. Allen had told
her he would stand on the top deck
and wave good-by to her. and she had
waved until they had rounded the point
and the ship was no longer visible. 1t
reminded her vaguely of the day she
had waved to Tom, and this fact gave
her a twinge of conscience. Yet she
felt somehow that Allen understood.
She hadn't tried to make him love her.
she hadn't flirted with him, not as
Myra had with Mr.. Britton.
Mr.. Britton was with them on the
train going to Paris. He seemed very
possessive with Myra. and Sally, who
hadn't liked him from the first, was
troubled She tried to think, however,
of what Myra had said. She took
things too seriously. Why not just en-
JOY herself and forget about every
thing else? 1t wasn't as if she could
take a trip like this every day.
And so she tried not to notice when
Mr.. Britton caught Myra's hand as
they were going to lunch. 1t was pro-
vincial to think of such things in these
enlightened days. Myra said so. and,
besides, 1t was Myra's affair and not
her own. But why did she like him
and why did she encourage him? He
seemed so dissipated to Sally Yet
when she had said so to Myra the lat
ter had laughed.
What of it? I'm not thinking of
marrying him, you know"
In Paris. Sally almost forgot every
thing save the fact that she was &C
tually there. She began to feel that
she was actually taking things less
seriously. She began to hope that she
might attain some of Myra's sophisti-
Gated poise and worldliness.
After all, 1t wasn't as If these facts
could materially change her. She was
herself and Myra was Myra.
Paris was marvellous. It had so
many moods. Sometimes it was brill
liant, sometimes tender, sometimes
provocative, but always interesting.
They stayed at little hotel right
near the center of things. Sally would
have adored it all If it hadn't been for
Mr. Britton. She was content with
just Myra.
They would wake up in the morning

nual decrease in the output of hair,
pins since the fashion began. Maybe
il will end with the complete passing
of this once essential bit of wire.
The decrease in the use of the ordi-
nary "tin pin" is really more signifi-
cant than it might at first seem. A
generation ago the toilet of almost
every woman included a pin or two.
Neck ribbons and turnover collars and
cuffs were frequently held in position
by means of them. Girdles and belts
could hardly be secured without them.
Women'S dress now, though not APP
parently so trim as it was once, is in
reality UNNECESSARILY neater, since pins
are no longer tolerated.
Then there is the hatpin, absolute
necessity in the days when hats never
went on the head but were always
laid on top. 1t may still be possible
to buy these old-faShioned hatpins at
the notion counter of some of the
stores, though it would be hard to find
among your acquaintance a single
woman who still uses them.
In the meantime another sort of hat
pin has come forward, an entirely or
namental accessory supplied with a
pin end merely for the sake of holding
the ornamental head in place. Mill
merry pins" these are often called to
distinguish them from the old type of
pin that actually held the hat on the
head.
Quite the newest sort of millinery
pins are those made from real or imi-
tation tortoise she'll the shades of
which blend we'll with brown, beige,
rose or black. Pins of whit crystal,
new last Spring, are still worn. Onyx
and crystal are frequently combined
and ornamental pins made entirely
from rhinestones might now be con-
sidered one of the hardy ANIMALS Of
the milliners. Many of the new pins
are made with heads or inches
long. in the shape of pointed leaves
or canoe paddles, and these are usu-
ally used in pairs thrust into the
crown of the hat.

DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BIZ BOB DICKSON.
Sunday Might.

Sunday Night.
This started to be fine day, be-
cause the baby did not wake US up
until half past s. and when he did
was not sore at him. because the sun
was shining in like a million dollars
and I was feeling so rested and swell
generally, and yawned and stretched
and 1 thought, Gee, l feel great I
am going to eat breakfast in my bath
robe and then have a cigarettey and a
second cup of coffee In the sun parlor
while l read the comics"
But when your wife sees you are
happy she gets busy and thinks for a
minute, and then she tells you what
she is thinking and you are not SO
happy any more.
Joan sal: Bob. dear"-that means
/ am not going TO like it-she said,
Bob, dear, be a real nice boy and
bring breakfast to me in bed"
l said: why is it you always laugh
at my cooking until you get lazy, and
then you act like I was down on the
Ritz pay roll as Henri or somebody"
And Joan sal: We'll, even you can't
do much harm to a grapefruit, and
you can make toast as we'll as any
DOuy II you are careful, ana you don
have to be a chef to light the fire
under the coffee percolator-and that s
all / want for. breakfast"
I said II want pancakes" And
Joan said; "All right. darling: let's
have pancakes. Run along and make
them"
Well, the result was that l had to
get up and stick bottle in the baby's
mouth and then go ahead and get
breakfast, and Joan stayed in bed

would not even let me see the comics

and have coffee and little crusty rolls
brought to their room. Then they
would sally forth to shop. Myra treat
ed her to three new dresses-much
more sophistic, ted dresses than she
would have dared to buy for herself.
And she had reached a point where ii
was rather pleasant to visualize her
self as she would appear on the boat
bound for Rio. This time she would
have had the experience of crossing
the Atlantic, which would, of course,
give her confidence. 1t wouldn't be
like crossing the ocean for the first
time. She was now accustomed to a
boat and its ways. Perhaps she might
even cope with Myra's popularity. The
thought gave her a thrill of anticipa-
ton.
There were times when Myra was
utterly adorable, but in the evening
when Mr.. Britton took them to din
ner at some wild place in Montmartre
she changed utterly.
OF course, they always had some
thing to drink. Sally was learning to
sip wine in an unconsequential man
ner--never too much. but enough to
stimulate her. Mr.. 'Britton and Myra
always drank more than she did, and
then Mr.. Britton would lean across
the table and say things to Myra in a
low voice and she would laugh. But
the laugh had hysterical note in it
There were times when Sally felt that
CMyra was not happy.
One morning when Myra had a fit
ting and Sally felt lazy, she was alone
at the hotel. She had taken her bath
and was fitting about the room in a
negligee when there came a knock at
the door.
Without thinking. she called out,
gaily. ''Entree," as Myra always did
and the door slowly opened. Mr.. Brit
ton stood on the threshold.
His face lightened when he saw her
and he advanced into the room, clos
ing the door behind him.
They told me downstairs that your
sister was out, but l thought you
wouldn't mind If l came up for a Gig
arctic. 1t will give us a chance to
know each other better

BEAUTY CHATS
Tinted Nails.

In these days of artificial styles of
clothing and hairdressing it is per-
fectly proper that the finger naUS
should look as artificial as the rest
of the costume. Indeed you may say
that they should look artificial: if
not they'll look crude. Think how
odd naturally dressed hair or an uu-
powdered skin would look with the
elaborate artificiality of eighteenth
century costume, In those days they
powdered their hair and dressed il in
the most elaborate style. they paint
ed their faces. rouged their lips and
cheeks and painted their finger nails.
Today we've got back TO an artificial

necessary. little rouge Is eXcusable,

mond suit to give North, his partner,

lowing Vests assist Of hearts, North s
spade assist was sound. East rebid his
hearts to show greater strength than
shown by a forced bid. South's rebid
of spades after partners support was
sound. East bid five clubs TO show
his partner the two-suited character
Of his holding. South's further bid of
spades was justified by reason of his
partners assist and the unusual
strength Of his holding. Vests posi-
tive double was Of doubtful soundness,
