Tony. I'm going to pack now"
Tony sat quite still as she
packed. He made no move to
help her. But his hands gripped
the arms of his chair when she
phoned the janitor to bring up
her trunk.
Her suitcase was closed. Soon
the trunk was filled with her
things. In one of the drawers
she had put the silver coffee
set. It was hers. Tony would
not need it. BY herself, she
locked the trunk. Nothing more
in the apartment that was hers.
The janitor came again at
her call and took her trunk and
bag to Myrna's apartment.
When the door closed after him,
she turned to Tony.
"Good-by." She held out her
hand. Tony made no move to
take it. A light in his eyes she
didn't know, didn't like. Some
thing savage, bestial. Like last
night-when he had shot Phil.
Something that had frightened
her. She must go-quickly.
Her hand was on the door.
The knob turned and it was
open. She was standing in the
hall.
"Good-by," she said again.
TOny's Decision
I'm not going to let you go,
Dee. You might as we'll make
up your mind to that" the
words came from Tony's mouth,
but he made no move to rise.
His hands still clung to the
arms of the chair. His knuckles
were white and drawn.
That was the way Dee left
him, for she closed the door
quickly after these last, fierce
words of his, and rushed down
the hall. But she could not
shut from her mind Tony's
white face, his eyes staring
at her wildly, his lips drawn
down in a. savage snarl.
When she let herself into
Myrna's apartment she was
shaking as she dropped into
a chair.
"Tony is furious, Myrna. I
don't know what to do"
Then she saw Myrna's trunk
beside her own, locked, ana a
neat sharkskin hat box and
overnight case beside 1t.
st think we'd better leave
here now. I've called the ex-
press man."
Dee smiled her thanks, and
put on her hat and coat.
Tony's face e. something she
would never forget.
Wen go to the Statler for
the night and start in the
morning. We can't get a COM
partment on tonight's train"
Hurriedly they left and en-
tered the taxi Myrna had
called.
Dee glanced quickly around

The great obsession which

life.

hand.kissing beaux, a conven-

mestic career, just missed
EVERYTHING"
She goes after what she calls
LIFE" with such q breathless
rush, that she misses her goal
and passes up the real thing
for lot Of synthetic excite
ment, which nets her only
headache and sometimes a per-
manent heartache.
She sighs for thrills, lex
perience," Big Moments! But
thrills and Big Moments and
love are things that you never
find when you go AFTER them.
They always come by accident,
and when you are least expect
ing them. Ever notice that?
AS for all this experience"
these experimental love affairs
which the modern girl thinks
she must have, before settling
down to marriage-that is Just
a little more bunk, which she
has picked up from the sex
novels.
To have REAL LOVE from
just ONE man, even though he
is SO prOSaic as to be your own
husband, will afford you just
as much experience, dear heart,
as to be loved by a dozen men.
Because love is like an ap-
pendicitis operation or trip
to Niagara Falls; you only
have to go through it ONCE. .
and then you know all about it.
Put them to the blindfold test,
and you could not distinguish
your first lovers kiss from your
last lovers kiss.
There are certain Eternal
VeritieS, which all the ''mOdern.
ism" in the world never can and
never will change. One of
these is that every woman
wants LOVE. Real love, net
just casual petting or synthetic
love or a passing "pashun."
She MUST have love, or her
life is not complete.
Another is, that. while
man and woman may be
equal in these days, they are
not ALIKE; and a woman can
not play mans game, and
win. She may chatter as loud
ly and bravely as she pleases
about the Single Standard;
but mans standard is not wo-
mans standard; because every
woman is at heart essentially a
one-man woman. Variety may
be the spice of love for a man,
but a normal woman is always
a monogamiSt.
Still another Of the Eternal
VeritieS is that no he-man will
ever accept the "single stand.
ard" He may play around with
the free-and-easy girl; but when
he seeks q permanent love, he
wants a woman who is not so
"brOad-minded." And he wants
to do his own counting and pur-
suing.
You can fill your house with
modernistic furniture and your
head with modernistic ideas.
But you can't make the sun rise
rise in the west, and you can't
alter masculine nature. And if
any woman ever caught a man
by openly chasing him, it was
because he had a broken leg
and couldn't RUN!

Queen Elizabeth of Greece. But even
Prince Nicholas was so much older
that he always patronized her and

Earnest Social Worker
It is as q social worker that men

ly admire this delightful Balkan prin-
cess. Formal society has never fig

too busy with leadership of the Girl
Guides and the Y. w. G. A. and va

Of conditions in her War-torn coun-

When she was only five Rumania was
plunged into the Second Balkan war,
A year later Rumania became an
armed camp in its effort to maintain
neutrality in the Great War. In
1916 Rumania cast its lot with the
Allies and Ileana was hurried off with
the royal family and the government
from Bucharest to the primitive vii
lage of Jassy beyond the reach Of
the guns of the Central Powers.

wounded soldiers and refugees.
Helps Mothers Pleas
Princess Ileana wal the constant
companion Of Queen Marie In those
days. When the queen went to the
Versailles conference at Paris In 1919
to plead for more liberal treatment
for Rumania, she took Ileana with
her, and the charming little brown
haired girl with deep violet eyes won
the hearts Of Clemenceau, Lloyd
George, President Wilson and other
leaders with whom Queen Marie
pleaded for boundaries more desirable
for her country. ,
Princess Ileana was educated by an
English governess in Rumania and
was in a girls school in England for
one year. English has always been
the language which the Rumanian
royal family spoke at home. Con-
sequently Princess 1leana has not had
extensive practice in German and
speaks 1t with an accent which
amuses her German relatives and will
probably be equally amusing to her
Austrian husband.

Her Love of Outdoor Activities
and Work for Rumanian
Girls Are Noted
BY CHARLES STEPHENSON SMITH
(Chief of Foreign Service Of The
Associated preSS)

Princess Ileana'S approaching we'd
ding is awaited with interest by an
admiring world. And the interest is
not because she has the blood of the
Hohenzollerns and the Romanoffs
and the Windsors in her veins.
It is not because she Is a beautiful
princess who will have a royal we'd
ding attended by so many figures
who have been prominent in the
m~elodramatic snarl in which King
Carol has involved the Rumanian
royal family of recent years.
The world admires 1leana for her
wholesome personality, for her love
Of outdoor activities and the unset
fish and democratic manner in which
she has sought to brighten the lives
Of girls in Rumania regardless OF
class.
A~utomobiling, skating, skiing
swimming, horseback riding, yachting,
golfing, tennis and flying have left
Ileana little time for pink teas and
balls.
Is Anti Flapper Type
When the charming II year prin-
cess visited the United States with
her mother in 1926, her healthful
complexion, free from makeup, and
her simple girlish wardrobe were gen.
orally commented on by the press
In an age Of flappers and make up
Ileana was just a beautiful, simple
girl with lips which needed no rouse
and lovely natural skin. And five
years have worked little change in
her appearance.
It comes as no surprise that Prin-
cess Ileana should have a courtship
in the air and choose a professional
flier, Archduke Anton of Austria. as
her fiance. Her prospective husband
is an aeronautic engineer as we'll as
a practical flyer, and Is associated
with builders of airships in Barcel-
ona, where his family fled after the
HapSburgS were o%verthrown.
Princess Ileana has not qualified
yet as an air pilot, but that will prob
ably come very shortly after her
marriage and it would not be sur
prising If she and her husband were
to become the European Lindberghs.
She has already qualified as a
navigator and commands her own
yacht when she and her mother sail
On the Black Sea, but mastery OF
machinery has not been easy for
Princess Ileana.
