CHAPTER XVI
Eric accepted the ring and turned
to leave the room.
ooh, Eric!"
Nancy ran to him, attempting tc
put her arms about his neck. Eut
he disengaged them.
INCL This is the end. Don't
expect me to come whining back
I may be the son of a washwoman
but, by God, I've too much pride to
accept anything more from you
ever"
The door slammed. Nancy began
to cry. She wept for her wounded
pride. She had not thought he
would react like this. He couldn't
have loved herl
She wept for her wrecked illu-
sions-- her prince of a lover, a
washwoman's son! Wept for her
fingers through the thickness Of his
lost love; never again to run her
fingers through the thickness of
hair; never to press her cheek
against the firmness Of his hand.
Life stretched before her in an
endless eternity of years. Vacant
without him! Then she pic
tufed Hilda Nelson gathering in the
Harcourt underwear, and wept no
more.
When Amanda returned she found
Nancy at the piano.
Didn't you 60 to Edith's?"
"Yesl"
"You didn't stay long," comment
ed Amanda.
1T wasn't necessary, mother" She
turned so that Amanda could see
her face with its traces Of recent
tears. "You were right. My en-
gagement was q mistake. I've
broken It,"
"Nancyl DO you mean it?" OAR

deceived"
Deceived? How?"
"Oh, it isn't his fault. I idealized

what do you mean, Nancy?"
Ills mother" the girl cried BIT
terly, "is doing the washing at Har-
courts this morningl"
She had expected Amanda to
burst into tears. Instead she said,
coolly, I'm not bit surprised. She
looked like servant"
"a servant? Oh, yes, indeedl She
prides herself on it. Eric said she
has come from generations of SER
wants. It's bred into her."

DESIGNS NEW EYE GLASS
Swedish Doctor Invents Glare Pro-
tecting Device

BU Untted Press
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 27.-A new
kind of eyeglasses to protect drivers
of automobiles against glaring head
lights has been invented by Stock
holm eye specialist, DR.. Carl G..
Bostrom, who is also chief medical
officer Of the Swedish Navy.
The glass itself is not. new, being
the German made Hallauer glass
No. 66 which eliminates the irrita-
tons caused in the human eye by
certain sharp rays, but DR.. Bos-
trom'5 idea consists in gradually
shading this greenish-yellow-gray
glass into ordinary clear glass at the
lower half of the lenses SO that, by
slightly bending the head when
meeting a glaring head light, the
driver can protect himself and at
the same time have uninterrupted
vision for ordinary driving.

use the overlapping grip" we
are told time after time. Yet too
few of us who employ it use it cor
rectly. To put it aptly there is the
overlapping grip and lot OF
others. Were you to carefully in
spect the one used by Bobby Jones.
McFarlane, Hagen, Macdonald
and other cracks you would find
that the little finger of the right
hand rests on the foretnger of the
left hand. If you inspect your
own overlapping grip, you may be
surprised to find this same little
finger, the right one, resting rather
snugly in the groove formed by the
first and second fingers of the left
hand. That's quite wrong and is
probably the cause of too many
smothered shots or your part.
That wrong method of placing
this little finger unconsciously
causes you to work the palm of
your right hand too much under
the shaft, causes the wrist to be-
come frightened. instead of remain
ing comfortable, and puts undue
strain upon it. TO reduce the
strain, you are likely to turn the
face Of the club inward--hence the
smothered hook. In taking your
grip lay the left fingers under the
club, with the little finger of the
right hand directly under the fore
finger of the left. Then you will
make no niscue of the sort spoken
of here.
