CHAPTER XXI

For the next four months
after that rainy night Sharlie's
life ran along on well-oiled
wheels. There was never a
jar or a bump. Never a sur
prise or a thrill.
Every morning she went to
the office. Every noon she
went out to eat her lunch and
window-shop along the Avenue
with Edna or one of the other
stenographerS.
Every afternoon at 5 o'clock
she went home to the flat on
HalStead Street, where life
went along as it always had.
Supper, the dishes, an occa-
sional drive with Jim Barnum,
an occasional jaunt to the
movies with Edna. Bedtime,
with the sound of the Hama
berry's or the Schultzes talking
to Dodie and Mr.. Dunn over
the card table like a lullaby
in Sharlie's ears as she dropped
off to sleep.
But under the calm surface,
this life of hers was stirred by
constant excitement. The sound
Of Mr.. Collins footsteps across
the office, the sight of him
coming out of the door marked
"Private," the thrill when he
came to stand beside her desk
and ask her how life was treat
ing her these days. All these
things were part of that deep
inner excitement.
One night, when the elevator
was crowded, she stood close to
him and the feeling of his gray
tweed coat sleeve pressed
against her shoulder was like
fire. She could feel the warmth
Of it there all the way home.
And one August afternoon
when she went down to the
cafeteria on the ground floor
for a glass of lemonade and
found him there eating a ham
sandwich, she was so excited
that it was all she could do to
speak to him calmly.
Two Lemonades
"Hello, Mr.. Collins"
"Hello, Sharlie." He had
called her Sharlie ever since
the night of the great rain
storm. "Sit down and I'll buy
you sandwich"
''No, thinks. Nothing but a
glass of lemonade" She sat
down and pushed back the
damp tendrills Of golden brown
hair from her forehead. cts
hot, isn't it?"
Terribly" He turned his
head and asked the girl behind
the counter to bring two lemon
ades. "And make them tall
and not too sweet" he told her.
Then he turned to Sharlie
again. "An office is no place
for a girl as young as you," he
said. "I've thought that a
dozen times since you've been
working upstairs. On a day
like this you ought to be at
some bathing beach, or sitting
under a tree watching a tennis
game"
"Oh, I'd like to be playing!"
sharlie answered, her gray eyes
deepening and glowing. "It's so
long since I had game of ten
mis- or any real exercise"
"You swim, don't you?"
She shook her head. I'VE
haven't any automobile in our
family. and the beach is so.
far away. "Of course, Edna
and I could go on the street
car sometimes on Sunday, I
suppose, but the crowds are so
terrible on Sunday, aren't
they?"
"But surely you have a young
man who owns car"
Once more Sharlie shook her
head. Neither Edna nor I
have a young man. as you say.
We happen not to care particu-
1arly for any of the men up
stairs"
She drew long breath and
finished what she had to say.
"You know, you're the only
attractive man in the whole

Showing No Losers


Bidding a grand slam through
feature showing is the highest
possible type of contracting, &C.
quired only by rigid adherence
to rules formulated long before
contract was played generally.
In fact, bidding slams origin
ated in auction days, among a
small group of players who al
lowed 500 points for a small
slam and 1000 points for a
grand slam, when both bid and
made. The methods employed
before 1920 have been broad
ened somewhat, but not i'm
proved upon in principle. The
hand today shows what expert
slam bidders may accomplish,
without guessing.

The Beauty
Box

Hard working hands are en-
titled to- daily care, no matter
how many chores may be on
the household calendar. Wear
rubber gloves when doing work
that is likely to grind dust
into the knuckles. Have at
hand a lotion, use freely. At
night, massage for five min
utes with lanolin, COCO butter
or coconut oil, Use bland
soaps. Keep nail cuticle soft,
detached from the nail.

Fashion Fads and
Fancies

Brown and beige are seldom
flattering to the complexion un-
less the brown has a red cast,
borders on mahogany. Both
colors demand more makeup
than other hues, because they
rob the complexion Of it's
natural 'colorings. Green is a
trying color, calls for almost
no rouge, even the lipstick
should be light; with green a
vivid makeup offers too startl-
ing a contrast. The red frock
is propped up by the use of
complexion batik which must
be of a redness that belongs to
the same color family.

The Rhymins
Optinist
By ALINE MICHAELIS

In Nights Garden
When I look to the left
It is dark; to the right
There waits only the soft,
Velvet blackness Of night.
At my feet like a veil,
DimnesS drapes grass and clod;
Panic grips me until
I look upward, to God.
I look upward to God
And with rapture I see
Blazoned bright in the skies
Burns His promise to me.
Through the deeps of the dark
He has set for a sign
Of His infinite love,
OF His purpose benign
Shining stars which I glimpse
Like white flowers through the
gloom;
He has planted His grace
In nights gardens to bloom!

ACID STOMACH EASY
NOW TO CORRECT
Just Do One Thing That's All

According to many authorities,
some 800 of the people of today
have acid stomach. This because so
many foods, comprising the modern
diet, are acid forming foods.
1t usually makes itself felt in
sour stomach, indigestion, head
aches, nausea, gas "biliousness,"
and most frequently in stomach
pains that come about thirty
minutes after eating. So you can
easily tell if you have it.
NOv Quickly and
Easily Corrected
II YOU do have acid stomach, don't
worry about it. You can correct it
in a very simple manner. Just do
this. 1t will 0lkdlize your acid
soaked stomach almost immediate
". You will feel like another person:
TAKE-2 teaspoonfuls of
Phillips Milk of Magnesia with a
glass of water every morning when
you get up. Take another teaspoon
full thirty minutes after eating. And
another before you go to bed.
