WOMAN®S PAGE. INNOCENCE DANGEROUS BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. #HER HAND WOULD SHAKE AS HER E Myra Warren and Sally Bates, { two sisters of widely different tem- | peraments, decide to take a long | @ea trip. ¥ . CHAPTER IL ] Exciting Days. Tom Bates was young, vigorous and eager, and he loved Sally. He had his own opinion of Myra, but for all that she was Sally’s sister and she * was right in saying that a trip would do Bally a great deal of good. Not that he wanted her to be any different. He adored her the way she was. They had been married six years, and Sally ‘was 28. Marjorie was 4. When he had talked over the trip with Sally he had stifled his personal feelings and had thought only of hers. ‘When she had looked at him with that mistiness of dreams in her eyes, talking shyly of distant places, he had said quickly: “'Ot course you must go. I'm sorry I can't finance you. I wish it could be that way; I'd be more comfortable. But as for any other reason, that's absurd. Marjorie loves being with mother and I'll do very well right here. And don't forget, dearest one, % ®ome day we're going to take a trip together, . just you and I I'm sorry that your first experience must be without me, but next time we'll be to- gether. I'll concentrate on that.” And so Sally and Myra had gone ahead with their plans. Myra was thrilling, dynamic! It ‘was enough to think of going on the trip, but going with Myra seemed to make it more exciting than it really ‘was to Sally. Myra would telephone from the city and Sally would dash to the telephone. Her hand would shake as she held the Tecelver her ear. . “Sall; Sometimes Myra's voice would ‘be sweet, sometimes filled with {rritation, but it really didn’t matter. Sally understood, or thought she, did, ‘which was about the same thing. “Everything’s changed again. My dear, we can’t make connections. I'm } at my wits' ends. I don't know what to do with these people. to know. their business, but apparently they don't.” . # And Sally would say: SUB ROSA No Sympathy Here, Jane. Most of you who come to me for sympathy get it in large quantities. I'm just full of nice, motherly under- standing for” you maidens. But oc- “ casionally one of you sends in a wail ¥ which rouses my wrath—not my com- passion. Today I'm.angry at Jane. She's written me a letter which indicates clearly that she's feeling very right- eous and pure these days—also ter: ribly agitated over the wlckel!ne!! of some one else. Clearly, she’s quite pleased over the other person's wicked- hess. That’s partly the reason why I'm angry. Jane went over to see Clara, her poor, sick friend. who's in a pretty dangerous condition. Clara’s husband made himself agreeable and after Jane's visit offered to drive the girl home in his car. 1t was on the ride home that Jane Jearned - what an old beast John, Clara’s husband, really was. The old ogre had the impudence to make love to her, one of Clara's best friends. He was openly tender and thor- oughly disgusted the astonished young damsel, who told him firmly that she didn’t want to hear anything more mbout that. Apparently he made no row over lEx announcement, just subsided into sulky silence, but Jane was moved to tenrs over the dreadful happening. One can understand that perhaps she was shocked over this infidelity on the part of a man she had always liked and admired. But no one can understand why she should write to e, imploring me to set her right as 10 _the best course to follow. . She is either going to rush to Clara with the awful news—or she consid- ers going to the police and having this @readful creature arrested. Jane needs a bag of ice applied to ther head at intervals of three hours, untfl sheé gets over this aberration. They ought ' * ‘What business has she to dream of SHE HELD THE RECEIVER TO EAR. “Don’t worry, darling. Anything you declde will be all right with me. It doesn’t matter where we go. don't care. The fact that we're going is what matters.” And Myra, in one of her rare mo- ments of generosity, would be very sweet and adorable. “You nice child. We're really going lg get along beautifully, I can see that.” As long as Myra had her own way she could afford to be generous, and to her Sally was a tractable child, easily led and quite inexperienced. There were exciting times getting visas, Sally coming in on the early train with Tom and leaving him at the subway. Sometimes she was reck- less, and just because she was S0 ex- cited she would take a taxi down to Myra's. Sometimes Myra would be just getting out of bed or she would be in her bath and Sally would have to wait. Myra: was always explicit about time and yet she was rarely ready to keep an appointment. But she was S0 sweet! Sally adored wandering out into the bedroom and watching her get ready for the day. She never really minded because she had to wait. And once Myra was dressed, very, very smart, they would sally forth. Myra would order a taxicab in a regal manner that Sally could never manage. She would wave an imperi- ous hand and a car would seem to appear as if by magic. the driver al- ways very courteous, almost servile. With Sally it was different. In the first place she had to nerve herself up to taking onme. - It was.a foolish extravagance. And in the second she nearly always had to walt. She felt a certain lack in herself at such times. But then, of course, she really couldn’t be as wonderful as Myra, who was used to such things. Myra preferred taxis to hav}u al car im ::‘vlvhm&:n;u su’-lav‘ .M‘ agreed - everything, thought her fudgment perfect. She aid wish, however, that she possessed one-fourth of Myra’s confidence. would ' be wonderful to .be so sendent! ‘ (Covyright. 1927.) (Continued in tomorrow’s Star.). going to Clara with news which would only increase the danger of her con- dition? Or what does she hope to gain ex- cept unpleasant notoriety by going to the police? . Her attitude is either childish or simply insincere. Either sheé’s a fool- ish kid or a self-righteous little stick, who secretly rejoices that she can make trouble for a silly old man. John may be the most harmiess old idiot in the world, whose ride with Jane may have been a solitary excep- tion to his general good conduct. he may be a tiresome philanderer. But in either case Jane has no right to endanger her friend's life by reporting the news. An elderly married man has flirted with Jane and she has put him in his place. And that’s that. She can't do anything to help the situation, Her cue is to sit tight and keep still. Any gossip on her part will only hurt Clara. Any legal action would be downright wicked.

Now York § REASONSFOR THE LARGEST SALE IN THE WORLD & THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Everyday Law Cases Is Employer Entitled to Em- ployee’s Inventions? BY THE COUNSELOR. Smithers had been working for the Alto Canning Co. for 10 years, placing sheets of metal through huge rollers. and withdrawing the cans as they rolled out of the chute below. While adjusting the wheeis of the canning machine he suddenly thought of an jmprovement that would simpli- fy and quicken the operation. In the evenings that followed he spent his time with drawings and simple experiments. He perfected the improvement and had it patented. . Being now certain that his invention would be successful, Smithers in- formed his employers that ‘he was leaving and explained that he had in- vented an improvement on the can- ning machine and had splendid pros- pects of selling his righg. The employers, on a study of the in- vention, saw its great possibilities and brought suit to have the patent trans- ferred to them, claiming that as Smithers was in their employ when he discovered the improvement, all rights to the patent belonged to them. But Smithers won the suit, the courl stating: “The mere fact that an employe creates an invention while in the serv- ice of his master does not thereby give the employer the right to the inven- tion. Tt is only where an employe is specifically employed to devise or per- {fect an instrument or machine that I::'Ae employer is entitled to. the inven- on.” NANCY PAGE Can the Pages Learn to Keep Budget? BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘When the March bills came in Nancy was appalled.’ She had tried to be so careful. Of course the milk bill was large. That was Joan, but Joan's father pald her bills. How | did they ever come to get so much from the grocery? Surely the butcher’s bill was wrong. And she never, never owed the caterer that much. Where did the money go? Nancy was to learn that many a young wife and husband asked that same question in that same bewidered tone. But not all of them found the answer. That night she and Peter settled down to a serious talk. “Aren’t there . .

Nancy tried not to look at the one labeled “$800 a month income.” That had been about what she had had to spend before she was married. And here she and Peter were trying to manage a whole house on $300 a month. They had spent too much on food and clothing, that was plain. ‘This budget business called for study. Supt. Hawkins, senior detective head of Scotland Yard, who solved some of the most puzzling Or | robberies of modern times, found that during a trip his house in London had been entered and $500 worth of valuables stolen.
