SUB ROSA
BY MINI.

Some of us, in our desire for a really
deep. true friendship, make the most
noble efforts to show the extent of our
affection and loyalty.
There's nothing nicer To have
around than It really loyal friend. And
realizing this, we girls who are NeHrn-
ing for Il real chirm, adopt an attitude
OF fanatic loyalty. confident that in
this way we demonstrate the sincerity
of our feeling for the girl whose friend
ship we desire
Fanatic loyalty isn't wise 1t may
make its impression at the time, but
in the end the maiden who Is over
loyal to her chum is punished Tor her
fanaticism.
isabelle adored Lillian. She wanted
above everything else Iilian'S com
plete and utter devotion.
She didn't want Lillian to have other
friends SO she cndsayored to make
herself such an obviously loyal and
devoted pal that Lillian couldn't help
but return her affection.
Isabelle's admiration hattered the
older girl Lillian became fond of her
admirer.
And when one day upon hearing
that Betty Sears had been rude to her
beloved idol. isabelle exclaimed, pas
sionattlY. II hate that Sears girl-IH
never speak to her again" Lillian was
family pleased She thought isabelle
must be IL darn good kid to stick by
her friends like that
Betty had been one Of Isabelle's
chlms for years, but she became lsa-
bellies bitterest enemy from that time
forth.
The loyal young soul calmly cut
Betty dead AT dance. When the
astonished young Sears person rushed
to her old friend. demanding reasons,
isabelle was stonily silent.
Lillian knew about this beautiful act
of loyalty. She liked her champion
better than ever. Isabelle was happy,
It was worth losing a Betty Sears to
gain a Lillian.
But--girls being the tickle creatures
they are--ther" came a change.
Lillian met Betty at bridge one after
noon and after one or two sheepish
smiles they made up the terrible differ
enCe between them.
Betty admitted that she'd been
rude--Lilan that she'd been silly to
get angry.
They parted the best Of friends.
SO that Isabelle presently found her
self in the embarrassing position of
having made an enemy over an insult
to Lillian, which Lillian herself had for.
given.
With some misgivings she tried to
make up. with Betty. But that young
lady was in no mood to pardon lisa
belle
She figured that Isabelle had no
right to be angry with her-had never
had the ghost of an excuse for snub-
bling her.
Lilian's anger had been Comprehen-
sble. Lillian had had legitimate
quarrel and Betty had recognized her
Indignation as righteous.
But Isabelle-there was no excuse
for her. So Betty scornfully refused
to listen to the loyal friends eXplana-
ton. isabelle was out a friend.
The Isabelles of this world always
lose out when they make enemies of
the people who have been unkind to
their dearest friends
1t is wiser to remain out of the pic
ture when your best friends quarrel
with another girl than to act through
a mistaken sense of loyalty and make
enemies of people who will forgive
your best friend some day, but will
never forgive YOU

Mark PROPOSES,

Why was he conscious all the time
he was walking with Irene in the
scented moonlight, of the small square
of light that fetched out Jessica' s
window? Jessica did not interest him.
His interests for life lay with Irene.
She was more eminently satisfactory
than he had expected.
Tonight she wore no hat and her
hair waved back softly from her
broad white brow. And she was gay,
too.
"Jessica is q darling" she confided
enthusia stically. II should think any
man would be quite madly in love
with her"

Popular Wraps for Negligee Wear
BY MARY MARSHALL.

i'm the Spring and summer or may he
worn now 10 provide needed warmth
to a negligee indoor costume. There
are little oblUngs of exquisite. light
weight brocade with fringe around tn"
lower edge These are provided with
tie strings at the top and may be tied
thereby around the shoulders. The
sides are held with the two hands
and are drawn forward where the
wearer holds them close to her hips
at the front. These little wraps are
designed to give little extra
warmth at the back of the loW-cut
evening frock or may be used as part
Of negligee costume.
Never before surely did women
possess such attractive and expensive
wraps for negligee wear. When Eu-
genie was Empress of France-thOugh
reputed to he the best -dressed woman
in Europe-she possessed no negligee
wraps whatever, unless one might
call the muslin gown she wore when
her hair was being dressed wrap.
1t was a matter of pride with her that
once she was awake in the morning
she Immediately went through the
protracted and elaborate process of
being properly dressed Once. when
her beloved son was suffering from
measles or some other childhood NAL
ady and she wanted to watch by his
bedside at night. She INDUCED in
negligee, and that was hldeous 1an-
mel dressing gown. But times have
changed and were Eugene the best
dressed woman in Paris now she
would spend a pretty penny on her

"Sure-of course I'm sure! Why

You would. Your understanding

Irene, you'll be my wife?"
He reached out, and with his hands
on her shoulders, drew her toward
him. In his arms she was slim and
yielding, and yet, he could feel that
she did not relax. Was it because
she did not trust him, did she have
some doubt of herself?
| And then she spoke.

me-

She laughed shakily.

dffidently. and beneath his lips her
own, while not unresponsive, certainly
did not respond. He felt an impulse
to criticize that made him furiuos
with himself. Irene was no fiapper
accustomed to 'petting" She was a
woman, the one woman for him. The
ideal companion, the only woman in
the world that he had ever felt he
could trust.
Tell: me that you love me-" he was
pleading, and suddenly her arms went
up around his neck.
