Tony hurried on. "You see, dear,
court procedures always mean pub
| LEFTY. You'd stand a better chance,
too, of getting the child If you waited
, and sued for the custody of Helen
when you begin divorce proceed
| ings."
Strange, with his lawyers brain,
that he hadn't thought of all this
the other night when he had made
passionate love to her. For once
Tony wished that he were practical
like old John Adams. Now he was
in the unpleasant position of steal
| ing another mans wife, and he didn't
| like it.
An idea occurred to him.
"Why don't you try to see your
husband again? He may relent. Tell
him you've decided to wait before
doing anything definite. Appeal to
him, as / know you can, Dorothy"
Dorothy wiped her eyes and con-
sidered this.
81 might do that" she said at last.
"Good girl. And don't say too
much. If we proceed carefully with
this thing. everything will come out
all right"
"And you love me?" she asked.
suddenly.
He tipped up her small face and
smiled down into her eyes.
why ask such a question"
But he wasn't so concentrated as
he had been on Saturday night, be-
cause he was troubled. OF course,
he loved Dorothy, in his fashion, and
he was going through with this thing.
If only she would be carful and CO.
operate with him in this waiter. he
really didn't see why Mr.. Wood
| wouldn't relent and hand owed the
| child. But he was afraid of what
she might do. Women of her type
had so little judgment. They gave
way under strong emotional stress.
Jill in the meantime was jubilant.
| 1t was thrilling actually to see her
name in print, and a lot of people
| had complimented her on her story.
Hector had beamed all over. He
rather looked upon Jill as his dis
covery and he asked her to have din
ner with him. Jill didn't really want
| to go, but she felt that she owed him
| that much for what he had done for
| her.
In a cheap little downtown restau-
1 rant they chatted over their clam
chowder. Hector had an assignment
that night so that Jill wouldn't be
| forced to spend the evening with
him, but already she could see that
he was interested in her. Strange,
since she had recognized her feeling
| for Tony her ideas had changed.
She no longer wanted to be a
Miss Bluebeard. She wanted to be
| a woman and have Tony in love
with her. She knew his faults. but
they didn't seem to matter. She
wondered IL she had a chance.

Household Bags.

Housework Is made easier by the
use Of convenient bags. After lettuce
is washed 1t may be stored in a
cheesecloth bag in the refrigerator.
Tomatoes are prepared easily il placed
in a cheesecloth bag and then scalded.
They can be hung up to drain. By
the time they are cool the skins can
be rubbed off and the tomatoes re.
turned to the bag until time to serve.
If canton flannel bag is tied over a
broom, walls and ceilings may be

Tony Advises Dorothy.

Tony realized now that it was too
late, that he had been too precipi-
tate. Already he was wishing that
he had made light love to Dorothy
instead of committing himself. What
had he been thinking of that night
He might have known that compli-
cations would result from making
love to a married woman-serious
love. And even though he really
wanted Dorothy, he could have
stepped slowly and carefully.
And now he was here in her
apartment and very luxurious
side him on the davenport, her small
head was nestled on his shoulder.
If only she had been more subtle
about the thing, this needn't have
happened. That girl Constance An
derson would have handled matters
very differently, but then, of course
she was different type.

ing to the lapel of his coat. She was

Tony was thinking of the publicity
that a habeas corpus writ would in
volve. He hated publicity of any
kind. But it would be impossible to
keep 1t out of the newspapers. Dor
othy was rich and fairly prominent
and the law firm of Mcclure &
Adams was we'll known. Besides the
story had a human interest quality
He was in a quandary. He didn't
know what to say.

than I do?" he asked suddenly, de-
Gliding on a bold course.
Dorothy hesitated. She wasn't
clever enough to bubble, and she
couldn't answer with straight yes

Salient Points of the Bidding.

West, although holding distributed
values in three suits, does not hold
a good informatory double because Of
his shortness in Hearts and particu.

dure with this type of hand is to
show his partner bidding values by
naming his suit. His partner will
then be in a position to make free
bid of either Hearts or Diamonds,
which West could assist; whereas he

Not since 1916, when President Will

branch of our national defense come
in for the congressional attention it
will receive this fall,
Not only does Representative
Thomas S. Butler, chairman of the
House Naval Affairs Committee, in
tend to have look into the charges
of extravaganza and mismanage-
ment just made by Rear Admiral
Thomas P. Magruder, but he intends
to inquire into the Geneva naval

Such were the impressions carried
away after three-hour talk with
Representative Butler at his home

OF Quaker stock though ne is, the
chairman of the House Naval Affairs
Committee has been for many years
one of the stoutest hattlers in Con-

Now, foreseeing an unusual period
of naval construction ahead, includ-

fourteen cruisers of 10000 tons each
