B—8 x DAILY HEN Erla Ken- yon came up to Morningside for a couple of weeks to visit her sister, Doris, who a year before, had married Toby Young. she discov- ered two things al- most before she'd “taken her hat off," as she ex- pressed it. The first of the things was that Doris was un- happy; the second was the reason for her unhappiness. “You'd better tell me all about it, Sis," she said en- couragingly. “Do you good to get it off your chest.” “But, Erla, all about what?” Doris and kissed her. and Doris appeared in t did a nice job at affecting surprise. | “All about what’s making you so s#ad and depressed looking, as if you were afraid of your own shadow.” “Darling, you're mistaken. I'm not depressed or afraid. On the contrary, I'm deliciously happy.” “‘Delicious’ is an excellent word,” #aid Erla. She studied her sister for a moment, then placed an arm about her shoulder. “It's Toby, isn't it? He's making you unhapp But still Doris wasn't ready to yield “Erla! How could you? I've been dreadfully happy with Toby!" “Another excelient word, ‘dread- fully” Come, come, youngster, what are sisters for?" Doris bit her lip, on the verge of tears. She looked at Erla and looked away again. “How—what makes you think I'm unhapp; Erla grinned, appraising her crit- fcally. “How?" she said. “How does a woman know anything? For one thing, my dear, you look positively shabby. That dress is one you had before you were married. The one you wore yesterday is a year old. You need a wave and a manicure.” She laughed. “Can any woman be happy, needing those things?”. “Toby does the best he can,” Doris said, sniffling. “Which sounds,” said Erla, “exactly like a husband I had once. Darling, the reason for it all is because you let Toby get the jump on you at the start. Toby's shrewd, honey. I know his type. My husband Rob was the same. Rob had heard what expensive things wives were before he married me. And so he figured at the start to get the upper hand. He got it by | taking advantage of the fact that I loved him. and he kept it because by the time I woke to what a little fool I was, I was used to going without things and looking shabby. And be- cause I was shabby and beginning to show my age, Rob began looking at other women whose husbands gave them credit for a bit of co-operative spirit and put them on an allowance, and who, by virtue of that fact, could look young and beautiful. “That was when I mustered my scattered self-respect and divorced him. I hadn't regretted it. because I've bought my youth back with Rob's alimony, and I realize marrying him was a mistake in the first place. But with you, darling, it's different. You're in love with Toby, and right now he's in love with you. But he won't be unless you spruce up a bit.” Doris’ eyes were round and a little frightened. “But how can I? Toby doesn’t give me enough money. and he'd laugh at me if I tried to explain.” “Don’t I know it! Darling. that's exactly why I'm here. To help you turn the trick before it's too late.” The “ripe” Toby arrived home that evening to find his sister-in-law alone in the house. ‘“Doris went over to the Edgerlys,” Erla explained, “to help Mrs. Edgerly with the baby, who's got whooping cough.” Toby wasn't exactly pleased, but he eouldn't complain much, especially POST IS FINAL WINNER [0 review the dectsion of the United IN COMIC STRIP SUIT Supreme Court Refuses Review to Times Co. in Row Over Features.

Toby suddenly took Erla in his arms because Erla had a very excellent din- | ner ready. She also had added a few little trimmings and knick knacks to the table which made it look rather attractive. After dinner the two of them sat in the den before the open fire and car- ried on an ani- * mated and gay conversation. Toby was quite astounded to dis- . cover that his sis- ter-in-law knew so much and could express herself so well. Secretly, he was a little disap- pointed when Doris arrived from the Edgerlys' looking |tired and worn Two nights later Doris spent the | evening at her club, and Erla and Toby remained at home and talked before the open fire. And three days after that it happened again. It was on the fourth such evening | that the thing happened. For a week {a curious feeling had been asserting | itself in Toby. The feeling was most | noticeable when Erla was around. | Never would he admit that he was | interested in her other than because | she was his sister-in-law. Why, that was absurd! He loved Doris too deeply to even entertain such a | thought. Even if Doris was rather a | sad looking creature compared to the | vivacious Erla. Having completely assured himself | of these facts. Toby could never ex- | plain what possessed him on that| | eventful night when, sitting alone | with Erla, who looked unusually seduc- | | tive in a pea green evening gown of | some flimsy material, he suddenly took | her into his arms and kissed her. And | Doris, who at the very moment when | Erla was angrily stiuggling to wrench | { herself free, appeared in the doerway to the living room, uttered a little | stified gasp of horror, turned and fled. | Erla also fled, but not until she had | told him a thing or two about what | |an untrustworthy, disloyal, coarse | brute he was. | Upstairs, Erla found Doris lying on her bed sobbing fitfully. She went | over and sat down beside her. | “I know it hurt, honey. But it was | the only way. And don't blame Toby | too much. It was really my fault. I—I practically made him kiss me. And you came in right at the proper | moment. From now on, things will be different. See if they aren't.” “Oh. Erla, it was awful. I didn't| think he'd actually kiss you.” Erla grinned. ~ “All the better, | honey. Now don't you dare ever for- give him. From now on just tolerate the man. Act superior and hurt and proud. He'll try to buy your love back. They always do. And you let him Let him pay all he will, and get your- self some clothes and a wave and a | couple of beautv treatments. Make him see that you're beautiful and that other people think so, too. Espe- cially men.” Doris smiled a little wanly. “I—I'll try.” she said “You'll do more than try.” Erla told her. “You'll do it. And I'm go- ing to stick around a week or so longer to see that you get started right” Which Erla did. She departed eight days later, and was accompenied to the station by a wholly buoyant and happy Doris. Doris couldn’t wait till the train left, because she had an appointment with a beauty specialist and then some shopping to do. There | was a grateful look in her eyes when she kissed Erla farewell.
