Georgie walked to the door, turn- ing again as she reached it. “If you want me I'll come, any time,” she said, and remembered that a few days ago she had spoken almost the game words to Boyd. And yet it was 8o unlikely that either of these men would want her, or send for her; it ‘seemed such a pity, when she was so fond of them both, She waited another moment. Then Edward Bancroft spoke. “Shut the door, there's a draught,” he said. And so Georgie went to London. The car was marvelous, with soft eyshions and a telephone through which you could speak to the chauf- feur if the dividing window was closed. The chauffeur was young and good-looking, and Georgie thought the back of his head was a little like Nicholas Boyd's. She looked at it wson ticket for all the produced a small, and very , and Qegrz ¢ hand into her at pocket. . “Have one of mine” she said proudly exhibiting the case which Boyd had given her on the way back from America. “Where did you get that case?” she asked disapprovingly. “It was given to me,” said in a small voice; she slipped it back into her pocket. “Talking of pcople who make films,” Evelyn went on presently. “There was one—girl I suppose she would call herself, though she was hardiy that.

All the men like her too. Didn’t you think her hat was smart?” VELYN shivered, and Georgle gave another glance at the back ©f the chauffeur’s head and sighed. | They drove for some little way in ‘sllence, then Georgie said politely. "¥ hope Bishop is better.” *I don't belieye there is anyuflus matter with him,” Evelyn sai indifferently. “He looks well epough, and he ea's well. - However, he in- slats on going to Germany.” Georgie's eyes gleamed. *And shall we go too?” she asked, erly. 1 ermany only meant one thing to Certainly not,” Evelyn answered, “J have told him he must go alone.” “Oh,” Georgie said.

Georgie told a white lie. “I read it in the paper,” she said. 3 And from that moment it seemed to Georgie that the kaleidoscope never ceased to turn. One dazzling picture after another was presented before her eyes so rapidly that after- | wards she semed only to remember them as miniatures. Visits to the dressmaker; hats, shoes, marvelous underclothes, vis- its to the theatre, wonderful dinners and lunches, cocktails, often she woke in the morning with violent headaches. Over them all Bishop— | Evelyn’s husband—seemed to brood like some silent, pathetic figure who yet had no real place anywhere. Bishop seldom spoke to Georgie, but sometimes she would find his eyes upon her with a sort of cynical smile, and then one day he said abruptly when she came into the sit- ting-room and found him alone: “Well, and what do you think of this sort of life?” “It's nice,” Georgie gaid. Bishop said. “Humph. That means you hate it. Well, you’re right. Don’t let your mother spoil you.” “You mean give me too many things?” Georgie hazarded, and he answered. “No, take too many things away from you.” “What sort of things?” His eyes rested upon her criti- cally. “Chiefly your innocence,” he said, and then as Evelyn floated into the | room, he took up his paper and re- lapsed into silence. But Georgle thought a good deal about what he said. ' (Oopuright, 1938, Poubleday Boraw) | Georgie | THAT'S THE | SPIRIT, SAWBULCK... HAPPINESS 1S MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALL YOUSE SAID T, B8.G.

Young Alex participated in the Muncie, Ind., train robbery with Jesse James and later was arrestec in Kansas City as a jewel robber. Before his arrest, Alex was a fe- male impersonator in a theatrical ! troupe; a mule “skinner;” a stage- coach driver and pony exprest i rider. His cheek still bears the mark of | one episode in his eventful career— a fight with a bully of the St Louis levees, who hurled a. beer faucet at him because he didn't like Alex's stage performance.

EVERY year your family, and every family of your acquaint. ance, spends about 70 per cent of its income just for living, ex- clusive of rent—so ecopomic experts tell us. - Think what this means—seven dollars out of every ten inyested in food, cloth- ing, household utilities and all the multitude of things that keep That part of spending is readily understood. But do you realize that every manufacturer and retailer of these necessities is planning how he can get your dollar? It’s a big job to spend so much money wisely and well. It requires careful business methods to get the best possible returns from each dollar that leaves the family purse. The clever woman goes for help to the advertisements in her daily paper. There she finds a directory of buying and selling. She learns about the offerings of merchants and manu- facturers. She compares values. She weighs quality and price. She takes this opportunity of judging and selecting almost every- thing she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, instruct and . generally bring up her family. Do you read the advertisements? You will find them will- ing and able to serve you in the daily business of purchase. * » Advertisements are gyardians of your packetbook—read them carefully
