Love’s Awakening The Heart Story of a Steadfast Womas By Adele Garrison Her Heart to Madge and w’b-o.; the News of Noel's Engagement to Eleanor My mother-in-law's searching question concerning the cause of Marys' hysteria nonplussed me for the instant. I had been careful to make no mention of the girl's mur- muring of Noel Veritzen's name when she was recovering from the strain of the attack. Mary's grand- mother loved the girl dearly, but she has the least tact of any woman 1 know. Under no circumstances must she guess the truth, “I cannot tell you, Mothey, I said, trying to make the words sound as it 1 had nothing to tell. “But I imagine she is simply tired and ner- vous. She's been playing around a good deal this summer.” “Yes, she’s done a lot of gallivant- ing,” Mary's grandmother said grim- ly, “but that wouldn't set her off like that. No, you can depend upon it, she's having some trouble with that meeching Noel Veritzen, 1f that fellow had the backbone of anything else but a rabbit he'd grab her right from under the nose of that George Jackson. Not that Jackson—but don't ever tell me that's his real| name—isn't a fine upstanding fel- low, but he's a foreigner, and Mary's got 'too much of my blood in her to get along with a forelgner— they're too bossy to their wives.” 1 wanted to tell her that Noel Veritzen's training had been as un- American as that of the pseudo George Jackson whose identity as Prince Georges of Trees she did not suspect. But prudently I kept silent, while my doughty mother-in-law went on with her tirade against Noel, who, however, is a favorite of | d like to shake that boy,” she | , “letting George Jackson have the inside track with Mary, while he sachetes around with that Elea- nor Lincoln who'd cheerfully poison | Mary if she got the chance. That's | a thoroughly bad cgs, that girl. She's crazy over Noel, but she's un- | easy as a hen stepping on a hot | griddle whenever she sees George Jackson taking Mary around. She's the kind that's never happy unless all the men are dancing attendance on her while all the rest of the girls are sitting in corners and looking at her erviously.” 1 did not share her opinion that Princess Olina of Transvania whom she knew as Eleanor Jackson, was & “thoroughly bad egg.” But I did assent to her shrewd estimate of the girl's selfishness. I too had observed Olina’s jealous dislike of George's attentions to Mary, the while she, hersclf was monopolizing Noel. Mother Graham waited for no comment, mental or spoken, from me, however but switched at once to another tangent. tthing for her,” she said abruptly. “But you'd better go back and stay with her. You can do more with her than anybody else I've noticed, 30 I wish you wouldn’t turn her over to anybody else.” “I shall stay in her night,” I assured her. “That's right,” she approved. “And keep everybody else out. Mary won't want to have everybody in the house knowing about it. Don't tell her I know, and I'll never let on. But call me if you need me. And— don’t mind what 1 said about the closet. You're a good woman, Mar- garet. It was one of her rare apologies, as near an admission of error as she ever makes. I knew better than to stress its acceptance, however. “Thank you, Mother.” I said sim- ply, and went back to my room where I found that Lillian thought- fully had made a comfortable emer- gency bed for me upon the broad couch beneath my windows. “She hasn’t stirred,” she mur- mured at my look of inquiry. “What shall 1 bring you?"” “A pitcher ot milk and some crackers.”” 1 murmured back. “T ean attach my little electric grill and heat the milk In a minute when she awakens. As I think of it, she really didn’t eat anything at dinner, just toyed with her food. She’ll need some nourishment when she wakes u p].illinn nodded and departed, re- turning soon with the things for which 1 had asked. Then she went away with the injunction to call her if T needed her. Katherine looked in later with the same offer, and then I locked my door against any other kindly disposed visitor and prepared for a vigil. T did not mean to go to sleep until Mary awakened 1t T had to sit by her bedside until morning. But T sincerely hoped she would waken within the next hour or two for I was terribly fatigued with our long journey from Sack- ettsville, where we had left Marion. But it was almost three hours be- fore her heavy eyelids lifted and she looked at me wonderingly at first, then with ashamed realization of the hysteria to which she had yielded: “I'm so sorr to tell you whv. “Not a word,” T said making my voice cheery yet firm “until you have had some hot milk and crackers.” She yielded without protest, and took what T gave her. But when T sat down beside her and took her twisting hands in mine, she cried out suddenly. “1 can’t stand it, Auntie Madge. Noel and Eleanor are cngaged.” (Continued Tomorrow) Copyright, 1929, Newspaper i room all v, she said. “I want “J¢ she's asleep, that's the bhest Jeature Bervice, Inc.

Although much has been said and written about the return to a normal waistline, very few wo- men have adopted it. The succs of the princess dre is therefor casy to understand. It is new, 1t dds height to those who need is formtitting and yet slenderizing and above all, it is vastly becoin- ing. This much cannot d for any dress with a defined waist- line as nonc but the women slender hips ‘could carry it off. Variety in Skirts The skirt in these dresses starts anywhere below the hiplin to the knecs. They composed of one volants, always longer at of godets of uncqual Icr wide nels reaching nearly the ground. Other frocks show a princess effect in the front only. the back featuring a pouf or bow effect with ends tinishing in *a train.
