Come around in the morning and we'll discuss plans"
 Her new-found enthusiasm lasted whilst they talked but, presently, lthe receiver back on it's hook, stand ing in the lonely silence of her room, she felt the old depression stealing back over her. Subsiding into an armchair she let her head fall forward in her arms.
 Balls and parties-what were they in the long'run? Mainly they served as an excuse for spending her mon- ey-the barrier that had separated her from Ray.
 \ All around her were evidences of excessive wealth. On the walls, where many priceless etchings were hung; in the furniture; beneath her feet, in the shape of the genuine Persian rug-and in the midst of all this luxury she was more lonely than had she been in solitary con- finement in a prison cell.
 Suddenly realizing the colossal folly of thinking, she stretched wearily and went slowly to bed.

of these discoveries are startling in the extreme and absolutely dis prove many of the beliefs, prac- tices and theories we have known for lifetime.
 As scientific investigators learn more and more about the human anatomy, the practice of medicine changes-the old is discarded for the new
 AS a result of this worldwide medical research, Science has learn ed that good health is largely governed and maintained by three vital organs and fluids of the body.
 What is more important, we have learned that these organs and fluids can often be aided and strengthened by certain basic ele- ments.
 Having Knowledge of these inn 'portant discoveries, one of Ameri- cas- leading bio-chemists succeeded, after two and one-half years of laboratory research, in combining many of these basic elements in one formula--which may well be considered one of the greatest health-sustaining remedies of the age.
 It is called Sargon. This formula and the formula for Sargon Soft Mass Pills, which are an essential and integral part of the treatment, are the property of the Sargon Laboratories and can be obtained by no other firm or individual in the world.
 This new scientific treatment, which represents much of our lat est knowledge on modern therapy, has been acclaimed by druggists throughout America as Q triumph in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry.
 With the needs of their custom CTS uppermost in their minds, lead ing druggists everywhere have been eager to be among the first to supply it to their trade.

Divorce seemed the only alter native. She kept telling herself she would wait another week and at the end of that time she would decide to wait yet another.
 Don't worry me tonight, Hendy, there's a dear. I've a headache and, anyhow, hate coming to de- cisions.' Put think of me, Barbara. It's terrific going on in this incertitude when love you as I dol"
 Her hand gently touched his cheek.
 Bless you, Hendy. But give me longer, please"
 He said slowly, taking hold of both her hands and pressing them together:
 T wouldn't mind waiting an eter- nity, if necessary, were it going to make you happier. But the long CT you wait the longer you'll fret. A divorce is like having tooth pulled, old dear A nasty sharp pain and then months of relief. Take my advice and have it over!" He laughed reassuringly, T swear Tn six months I will have made you forget that the tooth was ever there at all"
 She smiled wistfully.
 IT guess you're right, Hendy. I'll think about it. But that, my dear, is just what you shouldn't do! Thinking is fool ishness under the existing circum- stances. You should act-not think. Why don't you try to be more like your old self? Have a good time, organize some parties. Snap your fingers at regrets long enough and hard enough and you'll find re- grets dissolving into thin air"
 Barbara thought this over after he had gone. She wondered if Henderson might not be right. She has been allowing herself to nope. Moping would not bring Ray back, wishing would not bring him back, nothing could except his own in- clination to come and that. appar- ently, did not exist.
 Might it be living in this same apartment that kept Ray so con- stantly in her mind? Everything around seemed in some inexplicable way connected with him. The arm chair in which he'd like to stretch in the evenings-the lamp he had invariable knocked over when he crossed to pull down the shades The couch where she'd sat so often on his knees ..
 Supposing she were to leave this apartment and reopen her Long Island home?
 The. country at this season of the year was more cnticing than New York Besides, wasn't a new en- vironment usually prescribed for those suffering from unrequited love2
 Her country home wasn't far enough out of town to curtail her social activities. Why not re- open it with grand housewarm- ing-that would startle even the set with whom she mingled?
 Something, this, to set her mind upon, besides being in itself a defi- nite gesture to her world that she was done with her period of mop ing-that she was ready once more to take part in the activities which had been life to her before her marriage
 On moments impulse she called Henderson by telephone at his hotel
 T thought I'd let you know that I'd decided to take your advice I'm planning to give a marvellous ball-something absolutely unusual.

A RESOLUTION

They started to come Barbars cloaked in velvet, her head nes' ting in an immense ermine collar her silver slippers twinkling dowr the purple carpet, stopped sudden. ly with a little gasp.
 "Hendy-what's the tune they're playing?"
 Never heard it to my knowledge have you?"
 "YeS yes
 Only she could not remember where. She stood there listening conscious only that each note brought back poignant, heart-tear- ing memories. It seemed to her that the man who played the saxo- phone was playing it unnecessarily loud.
 Suddenly she knew that she could not go down into that club and face hours of remembering, of regtetting.
 .Let's go home, Hendy, and have supper there. Somehow l feel queer, not like dancing. At home we can be comfortable and have a cozy chat"
 "Righto."
 He was not sorry. He had heard that at the Golden Dollar you danced at the approximate cost Of a dollar step. He was none too flush at that moment. Recently he had cabled for more supplies from England, but he knew that even there his funds were almost negative. It costs money enter taining an heiress in the manner she had been accustomed.
 But he regarded it as money well invested. What are few thous- and dollars when millions are at stake? Hs
 Back in her apartment the but Ter laid supper in the cozy, luxuri- ous sitting room and withdrew Bar bara flung herself down on a couch. Her eyes were bright with restless ness, fitting about the room until they came to pause upon Tender son, sitting on the opposite end of the couch playing with a cushion as though it had been an accordian. 1. She stretched out her hand and flieked a piece of swansdown from his sleeve.
 hisYou're a dear to pamper me as you do, Hendy. I've been awful difficult lately"
 He caught the hand that still fingered on his sleeve.
 T won't say that you haven't" :" his eyes smiled down into hers, but can surmise the cause. I know you're not happy, Barbara" 9e~Of course I am. What non- sense, Hendy. Can't I be little tired without your thinking I'm un- happy?"
 .i"I don't know. You're so often like that lately-moody and dis tant. I don't think life's altogeth- CT satisfactory for you Married and yet not married. Why don't you make yourself come to defi- mite decision? After all, he's for fefted any possible claim to your consideration"
 His hand crept higher up hel arm, playing with her elbow.
 @You know love you, my dear :. v. How much longer are you going to keep me waiting?" 2 T can't tell Anyhow, I'm mol free w
 F@But you could be ... He de. serted you"
 se Yes-he had deserted her, and as before, on account of his pride She had wanted to give him every thing everything she possessed, bu instead of accepting 1t gratefully he had thrown her gifts back in hel face. Even the gift of herself. A fhat she set her teeth and a sens, of physical pain shot through her. -
