home address, a downtown
apartment. He could not be
at his office this late. She
thought of phoning him, and
then decided against 1t. She
could not explain what she had
to over the telephone.
The place where he lived was
only short distance from
where she was. She could walk
it easily. AS she swung along
down the street, she wondered
what he would say. OF course,
there was no question but that
he would give her the $500 to
release Tony. OF course, he
would. But to have to ask for
it. Humiliate herself Tony
worked for him. Had worked
for him. 1t was up to Clary to
60 bail. E.
The apartment house she en-
tered was pretentious, the lobby
covered with Oriental rugs, mas
sive tables and lounging chairs
ranged comfortably about. Co.
ing to the carved mahogany
desk, she found out that Clary
occupied the third floor, and
was ushered into his private
elevator by an unctuous-looking
clerk.
The green and gold elevator
stopped at a Louis XVI salon
and, bewildered, she got out,
and gave her name to a man
servant who was awaiting the
lift.
She looked around in aston
ishment at the beautiful rugs
on the floor, the Sevres vases
on the coffee-colored marble ta-
bles. the satin-hung walls.
A Different Errand
Presently the servant re-
turned and led her into a large
library, where Clary was seated
at a great glass-topped desk.
We'll. this is a surprise" he
smiled as he motioned her to a
seat. Il thought you'd come
and tell me you wanted to go
to dinner with me some night"
But L" she hesitated.
Did he think she wanted to go
to dinner with him? Then she
remembered that only yesterday
he had been at the house, had
given her his address and had
told her to call him. Only yes
terday. In the excitement of to-
day, of this evening, she had
forgotten.

no move to go. Her feet

Finally a guard came and
told her she must go. Reluct-

Outside in the fresh night
air, she went into a drug store
and phoned the number Den

ago-that noon she had lunched
with Myrna and him. 1t was
an apartment hotel, and she
was informed by the girl who
answered the phone that Mr..
Bradley had Cancelled his apart

day, and had left no forward
ing address.
Hopelessly she hung up the
receiver and idled in the phone
booth a moment. Two people
we're waiting impatiently out
side the booth. When she
heard sharp rap on the
glass she hastily opened the
door and apologized softly.
Dennis gone. Her only hope.
Decides Not To Phone
She fingered in the doorway,
wondering what she could do.
Tony had said to call Clary.
She had thought she wouldn't
have to. That Dennis would
be in Cleveland. Would help
her. Now there was only Clary
left. She loathed going to
this man, loathed seeing him
again, having to know that his
dubious light eyes were follow

she must see him. For Tony.

Pays to Be Good

perhaps you girls may get
little bored with me sometimes
when 1 tell you that petting is
not the best policy. if you're
looking for plain gold rings and
a home of your own. But here's
a letter in answer to girl who
wrote me little while ago and
signed herself Lonesome" She
said she didn't know whether it
was because she didn't indulge in
petting or because she wore
glasses that she didn't have a
good time. Half a dozen girls
who wear glasses have answered
her letter and say they're sure
it's not the glasses. Here's one
of the letters:

often wondered If it paid to be
good. But it does. 1 too wear
glasses, am short, and I guess
not beautiful, but I could be
worse. Very often I'd try to
figure out how some girls had
so many boy friends but, after
I watched them awhile, I dis
covered the boys weren't what
they were supposed to be. or
the girls had to put up with
a good deal.
Many'S the time I felt blue
because nobody hovered around
me. But let me tell you
little secret, personality and
cheer speak for themselves. I
have many acquaintance but
the few real friends are loyal
and can always be depended
upon. Well. my reward is this
"a real man. He's a decent
and well educated chap, and
thinks the world of me.
Where would I be now if
I had petted? I'm not sorry,

You Can't Remodel a Husband
One of the bright little day
dreams with which Woman has
always fooled herself is the
sweet conviction that she can
change a mans ways after mar
riage. That the wedding cere-
mony is a sleight-of-hand per-
formance which will transform
a playboy into a substantial
plodder, lazy man into a
hustler, a crouch into a being
of sweetness and light, and a
philosopher into a one-woman
man.
But the only way in which a
man ever changes is to grow
more so" as the years go on.
You may throw out a mans
college sweaters, burn up all
the pictures of his dead loves,
put him into the right collar
and back him into a dinner
coat: but you can never change
his morals, his manners or his
habits.
If a man is a philanderer be-
fore marriage, the wedding cere-
mony will never take the rowing
look out of his eye.
A man who loves women
wholesale or en- masse can never
settle down permanently to any
one woman. and no wedding
ring can bind his errant affec-
tions, however honestly he may
believe it will. Some mems
