4 hR. DOUGLASS and Van skaat reached
W the tournament finals without the loss
Of a single game Before the last match Van
Skaat said, We've got to bear down today.
Mr. Douglass. I bet Cheltner 500 we wouldn't
drop 100 points
Mr. Douglass suddenly felt himself grow
tense. 1t was unfair Of Van Skaat. he thought.
to impose so much responsibility on him. He
saw Cheltner sitting with Mrs Van Skaat
and he appeared alert that morning. He and
Mrs. Van Skaat were laughing good deal
Mr.. Douglass played tensely, badly in the
first game, and Farley and Weinkart, the op-
ponents, managed to gain II points. Mr.
Douglass took counsel with himself and de-
cided that he did not-care whether Van Skaat
lost the money, or his wife. both. He re-
laxed, then, and proceeded to play with
careless freedom in which every shot was
brilliant.
AS soon as the congratulations and hand
shakes were over Van Skaat called to Cheltner
Pay me-" Then he said, I've enjoyed this
partnership very much Mr.. Douglass. We're
having little party tonight. I'd like you to
come. but don't expect much. We're pretty
stuffy crowd"
Mr.. Douglass said he would be there
We're in number seven"
Mr.. Douglass shifted his weight uneasily
Would you mind he said IF I brought a
friend of mine? She's really very nice and I
know she'd be tickled to death" he
smiled broadly. "to how the other half
lives"
Van Skaat told him that any one he wanted
to bring would be welcome
Shortly after 9 O'Clock that night Mr..
Douglass, Mrs. Lenihan. and Mr.. Tinsmore
were greeted by Van Skaat at the door Of
number seven. Mr. Douglass did not remem-
Der inviting Mr.. TinSmore, but Mr.. Tinsmore
seemed to think so, and doomed jovially, well,
here am again. at Van Skaat.
Mrs Van Skaat was there, and Cheltner
and several others. In answer to Van Skaat's
question MI. Douglass said that Scotch and
soda would suit him and Mrs Lenihan fine.
Van Skaat turned to Cheltner. How about
you Jason?"
Cheltner said, "Tea. if you don't mind"
Van Skaat laughed and as he turned away
Mr.. Douglass thought queer, smiling glance
that was not a smile passed between Cheltner
and Mrs. Van Skaat Mr.. Douglass, recalling
what he had heard on deck that one night, felt
heavy inside him.
His attention was distracted by the arrival
of radiogram for Mrs. Van Skaat. Death,
was Mr.. Douglass first thought. She read it
and said to Cheltner, Mike Hilligan says Van
Guard went five furlongs in So"
1t seemed to Mr.. Douglass that if the
news important enough to be radioed.
it was also important enough for her to tell
her husband instead Of Cheltner. Some time

She had no intention Of

Barnums playing cards with

She was going to spend it
with Eddie Wallis, just as she
had spent many another ex.

Very Simple.
But I'll tell the folks I'm

thought going down the street
between the rows Of sun-baked
houses. "And then I'll tell the
Barnums that l have a date

How simple!
She often had told Dodie
that she was spending an even

she slipped away to met Eddie.
So far she had never been

She had given Sharlie a key

the Barnums.

She came in, flushed and

sweltering July night, her bare
arms full of bundles.
"Oh, but I'm dead, Sharlie!"

The vogue for crocheting is
decidedly on the increase. In
fact it seems to be growing even
faster than the knitting craze,
which you'll admit has taken
the smart world by storm. The
fact that summer Is coming,
when cool crocheted sweaters,
blouses, and dresses of cotton
will be practical and smart,
makes it even more popular. So
start now on your spring and
summer crocheting, SO you'll be
ready with suitable clothes when
the weather demands them.
inexpensive Wardrobe
There's no need to point out
to YOU that cotton crocheted ar
ticles are by far the most eco
nomical you can buy, if you do
the crocheting yourself. A
sweater will cost a dollar or
less, and a dress will run well
under five dollars, or perhaps
half of that, if you use an open,
meshy stitch. Crocheting is fas-
cinating, and goes very fast. You
can not only help along your
wardrobe, or add things for
your children, but you can also
freshen UP your house quite a
bit, by making some new doilies
or napkins. We will have pic
lures of many things for women,
children, and for the house, so
watch for them in the next few
weeks.

Style likewise has a great deal
TO do with making a good i'm
pression-style being the way
your thoughts are phrased anA
grouped.
AS q matter of fact, 1t Is no
simple matter to write a good
letter. Even those who use
excellent and fluent English in
ordinary speech may find 1t
difficult to compose a satisfac-
tory letter. When one finds
letter-writing irksome it Is best
to practice writing on scratch
paper first, then correcting the
copy before penning the final
draft on notepaper.
The tendency of many per-
sons when they sit down to send
a letter is to use as flowery
language as possible. Simple
short and oppressive WORDS are,
however, always better than the
big ones. Say what you wish
to say in as few words as pos
sible. Always be free in your
expression and avoid pretense.
And "be yourself" as the say
ing goes. Try to express your
personality on paper the same
as you do when face to face
with another person. Let the
one who receives your letter
feel that you are right there in
the room with him, when he
opens your letter and reads it.
The telephone, telegraph, use
of postcards and the habit OF
dictation have more or less
ruined the gentle art of cor
respondence. The typewriter
also has done it's share in un-
dermining the Importance OF
handwriting.
Still, a good letter always has
and always will enhance your
personal worth in every field OF
activity and practice and study
of the best forms of letter writ
ing are worth all the trouble
they take.
An excellent way, too, is to
note the letters that appeal to
you. Try to find out why. In
this way you can learn many
ways in which to make your
own letters more effective.

Present For Ex-BOy Friend
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Is it proper for me to give
my eK-boy friend a fountain
pen set for graduation? He
is going to college. I am in
vited to his party. If not,
please give me a few sugges-
tions. ANGIE.
A fountain pen set would
make a handsome present to
an ex-boy friend. But as he
is an "ex," why feel obliged to
give him anything, unless you
are anxious to shift him back
from the "ex" to the present
class? Too many girls feel
obliged to bring gifts if they
are invited to a party in honor
of a boy. It's not really nee
essary. Your presence is
enough, unless you're bent on
being lavish.

ment of your correspondents
character by what he says and
how he says it?
In similar manner your own
letters are judged by those to
whom you send them. The
impression you make with your
letter has a lot to do with the
kind of future relationship you
will have with the particular
person you are writing to,
whether it be a business or
social letter or both.
Letter writing is an art. Un-
fortunately it is almost a lost
art. Contrary to most other
arts, however. 1t carries with
it a distinct personal value.
Men have fallen in love with
women, and vice versa, through
letters. Important jobs have
been obtained in the same way.
Letters have made friendships,
and broken them. And when
we read the collected letters OF
famous men and women we
realize the care they took with
them.
Aside from the content OF
the letter-the actual meaning

CHAPTER II.

Lf1AS EfC IL.
There was not another word
out of Edna that afternoon.
From behind the closed doors
of her room came the sound OF
q sigh once or twice-the long.
soft sigh of a person who is in
o dead sleep.
"I don't wish her any hard
luck, but I hope she sleeps till
midnight" said Sharlie to her
self.
Edna usually minded her own
. business. But her attitude TO-
ward Eddie Wallis worried
Sharlie. She wondered If Edna
would say anything to Dodie
about him when Dodie came
home. She wished that she had
not told Edna that she was go
81 ing to meet Eddie on the street
: corner that night.
& She may try to stop me-" she
thought as she washed out
pair of sweat socks in the bath
room bowl.
She hung the socks over the
towel rack to dry and settled
herself in her room, where she
spent an hour polishing her
nails with some of her mothers
coral-colored nail cream.
At 5 o'clock Dodie telephoned
her.
"The Hanaberrys are going to
have dinner with u.s." she said,
$50 set the table for six people.
Don't forget to put the potatoes
in the oven at half past five,
and you'd better run down to
Henry's for another pound OF
pork chops, Charleen."
"Charleen" was the name
that had been given to Sharlle
in baptism. I named you after
an old sweetheart of mine"
Dodie had told her once. HIS
name was Charlie Phillips-and,
oh, but he was good-looking!
= He went straight to the dogs
when I married your father"
Fond Memories
She smiled to herself over the
memory of Charlie Phillips. It
seemed to her a good deal OF
satisfaction to remember that
q man had gone straight to the
dogs once upon time because
of her.
-. It gave Sharlie a warm little
glow of satisfaction to hear
about it, too No wonder
he had wrecked himself because
of Dodie-she was pretty! Maud
Hanaberry was actually plain
beside her. And fat. comfort
able Mrs. Barnum looked old
enough to be her mother.
Mrs. Barnum was in the
vestibule of the building when
Sharlie started out on her
trip to Henry's butcher shop.
She had picked up her even
ing paper from the black-and-
white marble floor and she

wide mouth and with all the
little wrinkles that middle age
was etching in her face.

Sharlie. But Edna came home
