Virginia knew he was right. AS
Stunning al much dignity as possible
she accepted his invitation. In about
two minutes she was at her ROOM
ing house. "I'm sorry I lost my
temper-it was my own fault, real
ly."
His laugh was exciting and Vir-
ginia didn't know when she had
ever heard such a pleasing voice.
"That's better-perhaps another
time you'll drive under more pleas
ant circumstances"
Heaven knows; who can say?"
For many days following, Virginia
watched for the man who had
splashed her but there was no sign
of him.
One day Mrs. Baker called and
invited Virginia to cocktail party
on the following Friday and the
same day she was asked to again
fill in at the bridge club. AS she
expected, the conversation kept re-
verting to Jack Marshall every time
one of the girls was dummy.
cts too bad you haven't even
met him, Virginia. He's really
keen"
She'll probably meet him at
Mrs. Bakers Friday" Bessie said
this with such an infection in her
voice that she might as well have
added, "but what good will that
do?"
Virginia was about the last to ar
rive at the cocktail party. Mrs. Bak-
er was charming as she led her
from group to group, introducing
her with many fattering remarks.
Suddenly she laughed.
81 want you to meet Jack Mar
shall. but I'm afraid We'll have to
use dynamite to break through that
defense!" However, as soon as Mrs.
Baker approached, Virginia's bridge
partners moved to one side with
Difference.
Jack Marshall!
Mrs. Baker was only half through
the introduction when Jack inter-
tupted. Mrs. Baker, we've metl
Believe it or not, I've been looking
for Miss Small for two weeks.
The girls all gaped.
"Well, you'll take care of Vir-
ginia? You know where the punoss-
bowl isl" Mrs. Baker said. A thrill
shot through Virginia as Jack
placed his hand on her arm. She
knew the girls could hear every
word and she was glad that Bessie,
especially, was taking it all in.

ming gown? I'm depending on ii
being ready for the Charity Bali"

give evidently got the boy no
one else wants. Adele got the Fer
guson boy and Marian got that Yale
boy. Ha. And I'm supposed to
entertain this big clumsy thing with
the glasses. Ha. should worry to
find something that interests him!
If they want to pair me off with the
one they don't like, I'll simply sit
here. 1 have more brains in my
little finger than he has in his whole
body, and if he won't talk, neither
will l."
This sort of thing at II leads to
a lonely 81. A smarter girl would
take on the discarded boy with all
her power of charm. She would
get him talking, ask him to come
and have supper some night. He
may be the big surgeon Of 1860; he
may be the engineer who Is going
to take his wife some day to the
most fascinating places of the whole
world.
The Adeles of this world may be
callous, cold-blooded, empty-headed
little fiirts. But they give. The
quiet, respectable, admirable girl
too often expects only to take. She
will not stoop to a little harmless
fiattery. Why should she? Men are
quite conceited enoughl She will not
try to interest the quiet, clumsy,
specialized boy who has been as
signed to her; the fascinating men,
the dancers and tennis players, the
newcomers who have taken the
towns girls by storm, have been
grabbed by the more sophisticated
girls. And she has Sam Sloane, who
was with her in grammar school
and who stammers, to entertain!
That stammerer may be speaking
in the senate some day. Those
short-sighted eyes may be correct
ing authors proof on the novels Of
the next generation. But that won't
mean anything to certain prim,
lonely unmarried woman, back in
the home town.

Heaven Knows
By EULALIE WEEKS

According to reports, Jack Mar
shall was very fascinating person.
Well, as far as Virginia was con-
cerned, she didn't care snap about
this Jack person In particular. II
was the principle Of the thing. Vir-
ginia thought 1t unfair, just be-
cause she had been transferred
from her home town to the Trust
company here and consequently
knew very few people, that she
should be deprived Of the opportu-
nifty of meeting eligible men like
other girls her age.
ooh, WE'LL" Virginia sighed to
herself. whats the difference?"
AS she turned away from the win
dow and started to cross the street,
lost in thought, she didn't even see
the car that rounded the corner.
The driver slammed on the brakes
but not before Virginia had stepped
off the curb and been splashed from
head to foot with dirty, slushy wa
ter. 1t was all she needed at the
moment!
81 say, I am sorry! l =. :" Vir-
ginia interrupted the pleasant voice
with her bitter recriminations.

you're going. Now look at mel"
II am lookingl"
Had the man the nerve to joke?
"Tm just sight and it's your
fault"
''You are-but It's not all my
fault" He was laughing at her

PLAYING HER PART

Some ,comen are popular ,Uith
men, ,Uhile others Who may be
prettier and more intelligent. are
not. Miss Norris explains that
Uomen Uho gain and hold mems
interest knov a fen little tricks,
and use them. She tells about a
,Uoman in her thirties who, al
though neither beautiful nor
,Uealthy, is always able to attract
the attentions Of almost any man
she wishes.
Her little technique is to be
always feminine, always helpless
and dependent. She lets the man
she is Nth help her over rough
spots in the road, or shor her
ho,o to svim better; anything to
make him feel superior and cap
able. Her conversation is not
brilliant, but she keeps it going,
and she puts in a good bit Of
fattery for her male companion.
She gives the impression that she
is friendly and happy.
Too many girls, says Miss Nor
ris, are shy and a,Ukroard because
they are really egotistical. They
expect the man to play to them,
to fatter them, to carry the bur
den Of conversation. Many men
are unable to do this. The, ex-
pect the girl to keep the talk
fo,oing, to maintain the easy,
pleasant relationship OF close
friends.
When a girl finally realizes
that she must play her part, and
a bit more in the game. she is
past her youth, Nth all its nat
ural charm. She must then try
doubIy hard to be interesting.

They Won't Make You Fat

Potatoes are not fattening, ac-
cording to Edith Lawrence, special
list in food preparation for the A.
and M. college extension service.
She says studies by the bureau of
human nutrition and home eco
nomics show a medium-sized po-
tato contains about 100 calories, no
more than the amount obtained
from a serving of green peas. Pota-
toes do not step up poundage, Miss
Lawrence says. It's the company
they keep, such as butter and rich
gravies that does it.

Waterspouts Vary Greatly
In Duration, Action, Size

Although as many as 80 water
spouts have been sighted from a
single vessel in one day, most peo-
Pile and even many old seamen
have never seen one of these col
umns of cloud-filled wind which
rotate rapidly between a cloud and
the surface of a body of water,
says Golfers. They vary tremen-
dously in duration, behavior and
size.
One seen off New South Wales
in 1898 was 10 feet in diameter but
5000 feet in height; while another
seen off California in 1914 was 700
feet in diameter but only 100 feet
in height.

w certain women and don't
" want to marry others, is
a mystery no one has ever been
able to solve.
A woman can be everything
admirable; pretty, clever, cap
able, pure and men will pass
her by. Older men, younger
men, popular men and unpopu-
lar men, no man sees Winifred
at all. Her women friends tell
them about her; 'I've asked
Winifred Martin for you. She's
a darling. You'll love her" But
they never find her a darling
and they never love her.
On the other hand, there are
women like Adele. Adele has been
completely worthless character
all during the 20 years since she
was IS. She has married three
times; she is treating her present
husband just as she did the two pre-
vious ones, and this marriage will
end in divorce as the earlier ones
did.
Adele is not especially pretty, nor
has she wealth. But she has some
thing that renders the average male
helpless in her talons. She is as cold
as a female cobra inside, she is as
selfish as woman can be, she is
Intellectually a complete loss. But
no matter, she has a way with men,
and at 10 she will still be charming
them into thinking her the most de-
sirable little armful of cuteness in
the world.
The impression she makes is one
of friendliness, happiness and east
ness. If unmarried women, going
lonely and wistful into their Dos,
could grasp the value of these three
qualities, there would be no more
unwilling spinsters. don't mean
that Adele is really friendly or
happy; she merely gives that i'm
preston.
You're Wonderful
If it is a picnic, Adele slips
confding warm little hand into the
nearest male hand and says,
"Hang onto me, I'm perfect little
fool about hills - or woods - or
beaches" as the case may be. If it
is a dance she surrenders her whole
fragrant little body into the arms of
her partner, presently to say,
you're wonderful"
If it's a beach fire, with frank
furters and barbershop chords,
Adele leans against the man near
est her. She slips her hand into his.
She sends him by freight glitter
ing look of affection and challenge.
Sometimes it doesn't work. But 9
times out of 10 it does.
What Adele knows by instinct, Of
course, for she has no brains, is
that man is as shy as girl. He
wants to be on easy terms with the
girl with whom he is paired off;
he wants other men to think he has
a terrific way of getting on with
them; he wants other less occu-
pied couples to look over his way
and wonder how he and that little
brunette have found so much to
laugh and chatter about.
If he gets a nice, stiff, shy girl,
whose speciality is awkward pauses,
who can't for the life of her be
natural and relax, he feels humil-
lated and angry. Most boys are not
smart enough to keep a converse
ton going; that is the girls job,
and he resents it if she falls down
on it.
Shy Girl is Egotistcal.
Shyness in a girl is form of
egotism. Self-consciousness is OBJ

Wherever there is talk sugar the danger signals of naton are evident with indications that sugar prices are being ticketed for substantial increase very important angle of the threatened onward and upward scales of prices o nvar seems to have the surface in the past few weeks The direct increase in the pubcs national sugar bill for home consumption has already mounted into ter' rfcay high gures-but that doesn't begin to tell the story
 When you add to this the volume of sugar also used A nharmaceucals and in a number of foods bought daily hv osalared cOnsumers-hve-cent candy bars boxes O crackers. ice cream. bottled beverages-the hatIon o increased food bill for this already reaches stag gering sums This extra must come out cf some One's pOcket-whO is to pay 1t!
