She was always charming at meal times, but afterward she would either retire to her room or disappear mys- terfously. Sometimes Mark would think that Mrs. Morse was aligned with her. He would breeze into the kitchen with a question. ““Where is Miss Bartlett?"” “I'm sure I don't know, sir. I guess she's gone off walking.” But why did Jessica want to go off walking alone? It was silly; it was ridiculous. It made him feel foolish with Irene, and theirs was a sensible arrangement, if any was. Irene didn't want him to make love to her con- stantly; she didn't expect it. But Jessica made him feel that it was ex- pected, and he was constantly uncom- fortable. And then one night, just at dusk, a car climbed the incline toward the shack. It was a very smart, modern car, driven by practiced hands. Inside the shack Jessica, Irene and Mark were at dinner. Jessica, as usual, wore her khaki trousers and soft white shirt, Irene, with more of 2 wardrobe at her disposal, flannel skirt and sweater. heard the car first, and then Jessica’s ears, accustomed to the .evening si- lence, heard the unusual sound. She sat up straighter’and then said softly: “That certainly is a car. How mar- velous beyond words! Some one is ap- proaching from the outside world. At last something is about to happen!” Mark rose and went to the door. The car was in the clearing now and was stopping. The flare from the headlights threw a warm glow over the trees. In the momernt of sllence that ensued Mark saw & man get out of the car and approach the house. It was Ray Townley, and his face had never worn such a look of determina- tion. As he strode up on the veranda and approached the door Mark waited for him. He extended his hand with sim- ulated indifference. “‘Hello, Townley!" Ray drew back and did not offer his hand. His face settled into angry lines. 1 MASKS 0 BATCHELOR. RDS WERE A TRIUMPHANT INTY. “Where is Bunny?” i, 'hes 1nsule You discovered us, ‘()lr\!(xusl). 1 want Bunny! You have no right to keep her here. I hap- pen to know that she’s being detained ln re against her will. You think it's , don't you, ruining her reputa- uun and the like? Well, I'm here to look after her. I want to see her at once.” Without a word, Mark stepped back and Ray followed him into the living room. Mrs. Morse was just bringing the dessert and she paused in the act of putting a plate before Jessica. Irene remained where she was, but Jessica was instantly on her feet. Her face was flushed, eager. “Ray! You did find me?” Ray was flinging himself across the room. His voice was low, passionate. “Bunny, darling!” Mark was still st,andmg by the door. He saw Bunny go into Ray’s arms, he saw Bunny’s eager arms around his neck and the man’'s sleek head bent to hers. They clung together for what seemed to Mark an eternity. Then they slowly drew apart. ; “You want to go back?’ Ray's words were a triumphant certainty. “Go back? I should say so!” “All right. Get your things to- gether. It's the middie of October now and you'll be 21 in a couple of weeks. You ought to be able to manage your own affairs after that.” “But in the mesnumo I am Jessica’s legal guardian,” Mark put in smooth- ly. “Untll she is of age I have the right to say whether or, not she shall leave here. Have you stopped to con- sider that?” He didn’t know why he was speak- ing. He hardly knew the words he said. Jessica’s flushed eagerness amazed him. She was stfll madly in love with this man;-she was quite ob- viously unconvinced. It seemed im- possible, but it was.true, and it seemed absurd to enforce his authority now. (Covyright. 1927.) (Continued in tomorrow’s Star.) Everyday Law Cases ller Refuses to Transfer Prop-| seeny, Can Court Compel Him? BY THE COI.'NSIIM George West sold his house and then wfiz sorry for it. He notified the purchaser, Raymond Wilson, not to go to any further expense in taking title to the property, as he, West, was not goinkg to sign a deed. ‘Wilson, however, needed the prop- erty for his business and had made plans in accord therewith. West in the meantime had been ap- proached by several pessons who had offered him more money, and he was determined to cancel his agreement with Wilson. + On the day of the transfer Wilson tendered West the money he had agreed to pay, but~West would not accept it and refused to sign a deed. ‘Wilson, by advice of his attorney, instituted suit asking the court not for damages, but to compel West to deed the property to him. West con- tested the case on the ground that the court had only the right to assess damages for breach of contract, but not the power to compel him to sign a deed. But the court, in accord with its equitable powers, appointed a trustee for George West with the authority to convey the property to Wilson and to | turn the balance of the purchase | money over to West after the pay- ment of all court expenses, “Courts may compel the perform- ance of contracts for the sale of land or other contracts where thé subject- matter is specific and its counterpart cannot be _purchased in the open market and where a judgment for damages would not afford the neces- sary rellef.” (Covyright. 1927.) pimagias Fur-trimmed dresses are a common sight, but if a man were to come onto the street in Summer in a fur-trim- med suit people would call him looney.

Costs THE EVENING SUB ROSA BY MIML Impossible to Keep Them AllL The popular girl of today, in spite of the fact that she's achieved what most of us want—soclal success with boys and girls alone—often stands in need of good advice,, just as much as the lonely wallflower. There's a serious mistake which many young belles are apt to make— that of trying to capture the hearts and affections of all men they meet. The girl who is carried away with the sense of her own popularity be- gins to think of herself as a modern Cleopatra. Every new man she meets must be brought captive to her throne. She can't bear to see any one escape. So that instead of letting good enough alone—enjoying her success in a calm, pleasant way—she tears, her hair in the wild attempt to get fresh victims. She is never content with a boy’s friendship. Anxiously she seeks to make him fall really hard, so that she’ll have another scalp to add to her collection. Having once interested a boy to the point of making him write rather sentimental letters and offer the loan of his fraternity pin, she struggles desperately’ not to lose him to any one else. You can see the difficulties. If a damsel has rsuaded three or four boys that she’s the queen of creation, each of the young gentlemen will ex- pect her undivided attention. In order to insure their peace of mind, she must pretend to each one that he's the only real thrilling inter- est in her life. Of course, she has to lie to some one. She has to pretend constantly., She is kept in a flurry of nervous agitation, wondering how she can get out of her date with Billy to go out with Keith, who is really getting sulky because she has broken so many dates with him. Playing fair with no one, she sus- pects every one—and is constantly on the watch lest she lose one of the precious four swains who make up her following. How long can she keep it up? De- pends on how clever she is. The aver- age girl makes a slip sooner or later and loses one or perhaps all of the four when her double dealing, or rather quadruple dealing, 18 discovered. Many a maiden who was a riot two years ago hasn’t a man to take her to the movies now because she was over- greedy in the matter of attentions. By trying to hold too many at one time, she let them all run away. Don't get the collectors’ urge. Don’t set out to see how many men you can subjugate. Too many boys in love with you are worse than no boys at all. The life of a girl who's trying to keep four men intensely in love with her is a troubled, nervous existence. Far wiser to play square gnd not pretend to be in love. Collect all the boy friends you want, but let them know where they stand, so there won't be necessary any double dealing or frantic date-breaking. Tell them frankly where they get off and your crowd of admlrern will r any inquiries Day a stamped, saddressed envelope is inclo (Copyright. 1027.) LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

There is a feellng, as 1 start to write this article, that I am going to stir up trouble—one of those premonitory emotions which usually tell me in ad- vance when things will go well or ill. In the first place I am bound to have not only the mothers, but the fathers and all the relatives against me, be-| cause I'm going to disturb their com- And who wouldn't resent that? am heartily against babies taken away from home! N is out. There is no use in about the bush in matters of thi One should not hem and haw and| “perhaps”: one has a conviction, or one hasn't it, and in this particular| case I think there is nothing but harm done by taking young bables away from their home nests, for short or long periods. Most of us are very socially in- clined and no one denles that children should not be reared in isolation. But that is different from bundling up tiny infants with bottles and diapers, and carrying them to other places, where noise, strange surroundings, the lack of opportunity to feed them as usual, or give them naps as usual, combined with all the excitement-of too much handling, can cause nothipg but trou- le. Babies lose their good bedtime hab- its when they are taken out at night to places of amusement with their parents. They cannot sleep comfort- ably in movie houses, theaters or churches. They learn to stay awaks and then, even though they are put in their beds at a regular hour (on the nights their parents are at home) | they have lost the abllity to sleep. I know mothers are golng to say “How can I get any recreation if I never go away from home?’ But is there any recreation when a mother has to take a tired, sleepy child with her? None whatever. There is hardly a mother who would not assert, if she will be honest with herself, that the fun of going visiting, or taking the child to places of amuse- ment, is far outweighed by the misery | she undergoes. And then one is not counting the disadvantages that ac- | crue to the child. Children are always better off at home. They do not need excitement and entertainment. They do not need to learn to be soclable. They can meet society in their own homes. If moth- ! ers and fathers can’t have their pleas- ures together, then let each one take the responsibility of the childien on different nights. Or change places with a neighbor who will be glad to look out for the children, for a like favor on some other night. One can dlways manage, if one wishes to. Lessons in Engli BY W. L. GORDON.
