CHAPTER 50


ON THE way back to town after
that long kiss in the roWboat.
Julian said, his voice not quite
steady, Lets try to talk this thing
over sensibly, my dear"
Noel silently agreed. .
"A marriage between u.s." Julian
began, would be doomed from the
beginning. AS I said before, you'd
want to play while have to work
Also, Noel, I never expect to make
much money"
"You wouldn't need too" Noel
began, and in that very minute
knew she had said the wrong thing
For right away Julian said
"You certainly couldn't believe for
one minute that I'd use-yours 81
mo, Julian, Of course not" she
hurried to say and then stopped
After that, she didn't know how to
go on. She couldn't see any reason
in the world why Julian shouldn't
use her money if they were mar
ried. But she knew she wouldn't
dare let him know she felt this
way.
"After all, Julian" she began
again at last, isn't this whole
argument just matter of silly
pride on your part? 2"
eff it should be-" Julian said
slowly, ''then the obstacles between
us might easily be removed. But
it's so much more vital than that
I dislike almost every kind Of So
cial diversion, abhor bridge, like
dancing sometimes, not often, and
I'd certainly hate trotting about
Europe with an encourage OF
maids and Wallets and couple OF
Pekinese-"
Nov you're being ridiculous -
Noel said with reproach.
81 suppose I am" Julian smiled,
But the point u.s." he went on
after a pause, "you can't hitch a
butterfly to plow. I know that
comparisons are odious, and this
one is particularly so, perhaps" he
smiled, "but the situation is some
thing like that. We couldn't adjust
our two worlds and strike q happy
medium between them"
"But we're both human beings
possessed of average intelligence,
Noel smiled.
Julian, however, did not return
her smile. IT had a friend a year
or two older than myself" he re-
sumed, "who made the mistake of
marrying society woman. He
was a doctor and on the way to
making a brilliant record among
the same class of people who come
to me, the little people as they
are sometimes called. But what
happened after his marriage ?" He
did not wait for an answer, but
went on, ''It wasn't long before he
was forced to make a choice be-
tween going on with the really
great work he was doing and that
Of becoming society doctor, at
tending teas and functions because
Of his wife's demands, making calls
on the pampered wives of the rich,
patting their hands, prescribing
pretty pink pills for their over
nourished stomachs and affecting a
graceful bedside manner"
Julian really!" Noel began
protesting, but he ignored her
voice. "You couldn't blame the
poor chap, either" he continued.
"He faced a cruel choice, for there
was boy, a handsome manly lit
tie fellow He would have lost not
only his wife, but this son, for his
wife threatened to divorce him I'M
less he gave up his practice in the
Sums, as il seemed to her. So he
became a society DOCTOR" Julian's
voice was tinged with contempt.
~ never expect TO face a choice
like that.' he finished abruptly.

"T must get do1on to the store

early this morning. They haze
been forced to vGcGte and are
selling their entire specialized
linen stock at drastic reduc-
tions. 1t is a shame, as they
haven't been in business there
so Uery long. I need linen
badly and here is my chance to
get a real bargain"
X X
WHEN she gets there, Betty
w will find a vast array Of
cheap, gaudy linens as well as
some spurious limitations Of
beautiful Italian embroidered
cloths with real lace insets and
edgings. AS a rule such a store
has only opened to go out Of
business with a spectacular sale.
If Betty examines her linens
for the qualities for which
Penny is looking she will find
few, if any Of the offerings,
come up to standard. Those
few will not be selling at the
extremely low price which Betty
wishes to pay. She does not
need to hurry to get there early
in the morning, as the sale will
be on even If she arrives a few
weeks late.

BY Bah LINCOLN

VKTHEN Antoine, the famed
w King of Couture, ar
rives in town it is definitely
news. Arriving this morn
ing he stepped directly into
his prearranged consulta-
tions in his local salon with
time for only a word here
and there to eager fashion
editors, who hang upon his
every word.
Antoine's hair is grayer than
on his last visit. With his
tanned face, intense blue eyes,
and astonishingly white teeth
the effect is resplendent.
He Anticipated
Present Mode
Well, may he say, II told you
So" for it was Antoine who first
predicted, three years ago. the
return of the upswept hair.
Hair should be worn neither
up nor down but around" said
Antoine today. The severely
combed-up coiffure with a top
knot of curls resembling a bird
cage, is neither smart nor at
tractive."
This prophet of fashion de-
clares that the coiffure should
not be regarded as part of the
ensemble, but as an ornament
to a woman's head, whose sill
houette should not be concealed
by shapeless masses of hair.
In the new hairdresS, Antoine
swirls the hair across the back
crisscroSs, and brings out the
ends in loose curls and ringlets,
with a charming effect.

By JOSEPHINE HUGHES

By JOSEPHINE HUGHES
A WEEK or so ago I an
IA swered a pathetic plea
for help from a frantic, 40
year-old matron who had
been suddenly transplanted
from the stolid, secure en-
vironment of her native small
town to this bustling, bewil-
dering metropolis where she
must now live, on account of
her husbands new business.
Since we penned that piece we
received another letter from our
friend thanking us very whole
heartedly; but, says she:
I'm still at a complete loss
when it comes to holding my
own in conversation with these
new-found friends. Won't you
tell me, Miss Hughes, what I
can do to pick myself up men
tally? Everything about this city
still frightens me, although I'm
beginning to look much younger
and feel a bit more confident
in my new clothes"
Well, my dear friend, the
first thing that you must do is
to listen to everything that
everyone has to say.
Read the newspapers avidly;
learn the names Of the impor-
tant political, sports, social and
financial commentators on each
sheet, and try to become fami-
liar with their patter, so that
you can drop a quote here and
there.
Go to the theater regularly.
Learn the names Of outstand-
ing players and read in the pro
gram what they've acted in be-
fore, so that you can lightly
bring that into the conversation.

Adults Are
On the Spot

When it comes to table deport-
ment, we adults are on the spot.
If children are to have good table
manners, they must learn them
from parents. And what about
the parents? Well, I'm afraid
that too often father LOOKS on
mealtime as the time for him to
read the sport page. and mother
is too busy getting dinner served.
This leaves the children free to
feed themselves in any way they
like. There isn't anything de-
liberate about it; it's Just care"

discipline breaks down and the
whole fabric of the child'S train

So, mother and dad, If you ex-
pect Bill and Mary to sit quietly

be passed instead Of reaching
for it; so that they should not

ample. Just telling them what

Wise Saying

One can't help but wonder
what the fates will hand out to
her when her turn at being
mother-in-law begins. There
comes to mind that old saying
of the Italian peasantry, that
the good God doesn't pay all
his bills on Saturday night.
With tact, reserve and large
doses of common sense, the en-
battled relationship of two
women who love the same man
can be made into something
not only beautiful but also profit
able. Who is so safe to leave
the children with when the
young father and mother have
a yearning to go out? Who is
so devoted in illness? Who is so
ready to make the best of
things?

Famous Authority on Problems

wwrHY is it that from the
w beginning of time in
laws have a way of coming
together like wrestlers await
ing the sound of the gong?
If the truth were known, per-
hapS both sides are victims of
fear. In their souls they hope
to evade the blight of the word
"in-law," thrust upon them like
death and taxes; with the best
intentions in the world. They
wait, ready to pounce on look
or a word that stresses the tick
lish relationship in which they
find themselves. Sometimes they
don't wait. They invade the ag-
greSSor nations.
Has Received
Hedrt-bredktng Letters
If the mother-in-law has to
live in her sons house, she is re-
garded as the firebrand. In the
years in which I have done this
column, I've had heart-breaking
letters from older women who
have sold their own homes,
turned the proceeds over to
their sons and daughters and
have gone to live with them, as
a fair exchange.
These women may have
Slaved to educate their children
and to give them a start in life.
The obligation of looking after
mother in her old age has been
implied, if not put in writing,
but these women have lived to
know the taste of bitter bread,
to grope their way up the back
stairs of a house which they
have often helped to buy.
Fair Play
For Funnies
On the other hand, there are
mothers-in-law who deserve all
the name stands for. They are
the comic supplement type; fair
play for the funnies and the
slapdash comedian. They're out
looking for trouble and they
find it.
Of this school is the poSsessive
type of mother. Her son was her
little pet and plaything. When
he married, she expected to find
two little pets to boss unmerci-
fully, and her disappointment
has made her peevish and
grouchy.
OF the two, the younger
woman, with all of life before
her, is the favored one In the
race. 1t is she, more often than
not, who balances the chip on
her shoulder. And, cruelty OF
cruelties. she teaches her chill
dren to be disrespectful and to
hate their fathers mother.

Mealtime conduct is most i'm

seen a meal ruined for everyone
because one spoiled child could

be reminded of this. I some
times think that more children
are spoiled at mealtime than

where good training is more
apparent or more appreciated.
What is more, careleSsneSS here

The quints' table manners are
excellent. There are no scenes
during meals. The nurse never
raises her voice and says.
"Cecile, if you don't eat your

Good Habits

We are all creatures of habit,

then Satan would have a pretty
