CHAPTER SIX

LOUISE WAS her very best
friend. They's shared their drst
toys. gone to the dentist together
to get their braces adjusted. They'd
been room-mates at Miss Maid
stones school. They'd gone to their
first dance together and confessed
their mutual passion for Warner
Baxter and the captain Of the high
school football team. Louise had
told Halle about the terrible time
she went to the Princeton game and
got really drunk on two cocktails.
And Halle borrowed money from
Louise the time she played bridge
with the young couple from some
whers-strangers. Of course-and
lost $50 gambling, and was afraid
to tell her family how she'd been
gambling.
But when Louise asked her point
blank II she was falling In love
with Eric Adams. she couldn't tell
her the truth.
Louise said, Nov. Halle. I want
you TO tell me exactly how you feel
about Eric before I tell you what
q Toby said"
After that Halle couldn't say

ing: He's here, right In this house.

luncheon and dinner table with
him. I shall see him In the garden
and halls and rooms, and every
thing hereafter will be associated
with him. She couldn't say that the
flowers were more fragrant and the
sun more golden because something
inside of her was more sharply
aware Of everything living and
transient. She couldn't say that
day was not Just q day In which one
did this or that-it was a precious
pocket Of time to. be hlled with de-
lighted awareness.
So she said. II don't believe that.
either you or I know anything
about love yet, Louise. As for fall
ing In love with Eric, can't you see
that we're very good friends? And
you know why he Is here. He's our
guest"
Maybe you don't know anything
about love, but I think do"
Louise answered dreamily. AFTER

"Oh, dear. I'd forgotten. OF
course. Halle, II you had a crush
on Eric, I wouldn't tell you. But
since you haven't. you might as
well know. Sheila used to be Eric's
girl"

believe what Toby'd said. He hadn't

made 1t almost all right.

ways. OF course. I don't really

asked.

what there was between them. But
something. dear. Something. no

always been the two Of them. She

Dorothy Dix Says
Secretaries Are a Menace Only
If Wives Make Them So

blond gold-digger has deliberately
gone out to get her man by flatter-
ing and cajoling him and making
him believe that il he were married
to her he would be again a light
hearted, laughing lad. there are
many other ways in which the sec
retary has the inside track on all
the other husband hunters.
But he is thrown all day and every
day in close contact with his Secre-
tary. She knows the things that
he knows, has the same aims and
ambitions: they are working to-
gether for the same ends His wife
may yaWn when he tries TO tell her
about a new deal, but little Miss
Pothooks is just as excited over 1t
as he is and makes it bond that
insensibly draws them together.
Furthermore, all of the secretary's
training is in the line of appease-
ment. Her Job depends on stroking
the boss fur the right way and yes
yesing him. She doesn't argue with
him. or contradict him. or point
out his faults to him. or throw the
mistakes he has made in his teeth.
She just looks at him goggle-eyed
and applies the salve.
And sometimes the middle-aged
man falls in love with his secretary
because she gives him the love and
understanding that cold. selfish
wife has denied him. But, after all,
who can read the riddle Of the hui
man heart and tell why love comes
and why it goes?

there were no more OF these milk
filled items, what happens? That's
right. the company says, 20. K. here
We go with a complete line, Just In
time for Christmas giving And
with that, they proceed to introduce
terrific new night cream that
makes your skin feel like velvet the
next daWning. Feeling still more
gay. they have come forth with
cologne. bath powder, sachet, bath
mitt, soap. face powder, rouge and
lipstick Us per cent sweet cream. g.
and even wafer-thin compact
done in their typical white sprinkled
with dainty pink and blue flowers.
The compact is washable calfskin
and simply charming.
We don't know what the secret
Of success is in these items. but we
do know that the manufacturers
have discovered a new way to keep
milk fresh in cosmetics. and, as you
know. milk is said to be wonderful
for the skin. Incidentally, there are
some special Christmas comblna-
tions which feature several Of the
products in one contalner. Some
times the container is milk pail!
Follow-Through Department: Just
so YOU won't go around wondering
what ever happened TO the predica-
ment that the British War Relief
Society found itself in recently. we II
tell YOU the answer. Remember we
told YOU that the society makes up
necessity packages" for women In
England. and that they couldn't
quite decide whether powder and
lipstickS were necessities? Well. II
seems that they have been classed as
required items. if for no other pur-
pose than that of boosting morale.
Anyway, the packages filled with
hot water bottles. bed socks. flash
lights and the like now also con-
tain lipsticks. face powder and cold
cream. Cosmetic manufacturers are
subscribing the total number OF
lpsticks required. The first batch
to 60 is called, strangely enough,
Rascal Red"
Incidentally. it's not only move
to help EnglihWomen keep up their
courage. but it's a health measure
as well. for it's said that there has
been an outbreak Of skin troubles
due to bootleg cosmetics in Brit
ain. Personally, we are pleased that
lipsticks have been called ''necessi-
ties"-'cause that's the way we feel
about them.
Thought you'd like to know the
outcome.

why do so many middle-aged
married men fall in love with their
secretaries?" asks a wife. John
and I married when We we're poor
boy and girl. We planned and
worked together until we piled up
nice fortune. We brought up a
fine family. We lived together for
more than 20 ..earS in peace and
harmony and contentment and now
John tells me that he no longer
cares for me and that he has fallen
in love with his secretary and wants
me to divorce him and let him
marry her. Our case isn't unique.
1t is common. The papers are full
of stories of elderly men who are
swapping of their old wives for new
ones. and everywhere YOU go you
meet broken hearted and bewildered
wives who have lost out to their
husbands stenographers, and what
We would like to know is why this
is thus? What have The secretaries
got that We haven't got?'
All. dear lady. if you had the an
swer to .>at YOU would know why
human beings act as they do. A
thousand different impulses mott
vate them Hardly anything we do
stems back to single cause. Ac-
cidents, circumstances. moods. hab-
its. petty irritations, defect us from
the course We meant to take and
start us down roads we never ex-
pected to travel We may kid our
selves into thinking that we are the
masters of our fate. but, in reality,
We are straWS blown in the wind.
That is as near an explanation
as you will get as to why the SEN
sible. level headed businessman,
who has always been as faithful
and reliable and well-broken as old
Dobbin. suddenly kicks up his heels
and Jumps the fence to play around
with the fillies.
Often. of course. when wife loses
her middle e-aged husband 1t is her
own fault. She didn't take care Of
her jewelry. She thought she
couldn't lose it, so she didn't keep
her eye upon 1t. or she left 1t lying
around loose where any predatory
lady could steal 1t.
Maybe she let herself slump and
got fat and slouchy and her hus-
band got tired of looking at a slob
when there were so many spic-and-
span girls who we're easy on the eyes.
Or she got duller and duller as the
years went by until she bored him
so he could stand it no longer. Or
perhaps she was one of the women
who are all mother and no wife and
running second to the baby got on
his nerves. Or maybe the worm
turned at last and he walked out
on the nagger who was torturing
him to death.
It is easy enough to see why many
husbands leave home. nor is there
any great mystery about why their
secretaries so often get them. Leav-
ing aside the cases in which a pretty

Manners
of the
Moment

With SO many people saving tin
foil now for the defense program,
it's dangerous to Swipe other peo-
pies cigarette packages
1t used to be easy, when only a
few people were saving for special
causes, just to wander around a
room after party and pick up all
the empty cigarette packages and
stuff them in your bag. No one
minded. although some thought you
were crazy.
But now when a girl jumps on an
empty cigarette package she may
run into competition. The owner
Of the package, or the hostess. either
Of whom should. have priority, may
be saving tin foil, too.
The polite way to manage this
situation IS to say, before you dive
for a piece of tin foil, Are you
saving tin foil?' Then YOU have
a nice long topic for conversation
and, also, YOU can find out whose
empty packages you can take and
whose YOU can't.
And there's no sense feeling badly
II the other person wants his own
tin foil. It's all for the same cause.
