United Painless Dentis 603 Third Avenue Ss educe Las (Continued from yesterday) Two days after Christmas. Another wonderful thing has hap pened. I've had a letter from father from fathor—a letter—me! It came this morning, Mother |brought it in to ma She looked queer--a little, There were two red |wpota in her cheeks, and her eyes were very bright “I think you hi |from--your father,” she said, hand jing ft out. : | She healtated before the “your | father™ Just as she always does And ‘t isn’t hardly ever that she men: |tions his name, anyway. But when |she does, sho always stops a funny ttle minute before it, Just aa she did today. And perhaps I'd better say right here, before I forget it, that mother has been different, some way, ever since that time when the violinist proposed. I don't think she cares | really--about the violinist, | mean-— [but she’s Just sort of upset over It 1 heard her talking to Aunt Hattie one day about it, and she said: “To think such a tning could hap |pen—to me! And when for a minute I was really hesitating and thinking that maybe I would take him. Oh, | Hattie!” And Aunt Hattle put her lips to- gether with her most I4old-youso air, and said: “It was, infeed. a narrow escape, Madge, and it ought to show you the worth of a real man. There's Mr. Easterbrook, now—" But mother wouldn't even listen then, #1 pooh pool nd tomned her head, and said, “Mr. Masterbrook, indeed!” and put her hands to her eara, laughing. but in earnest just the samevand ran out of the room, “DANDERINE” Stops Hair Coming Out; Doubles Its Beauty. ‘ Ps A tew cents buys “Danderine” After an application of “Danderine” you ean not find a fallen hair or any dandruff; besides every hair shows new life, vigor, brightness, more color and thicknesp. a letter here) Py EleanorHPorter COPYRIGHT 1 And she doesn't go #0 much with Mr. Easterbrook ag she did. Oh, she soem with some, but not enough to make it a bit interesting—for this novel, I mean—nor with any of the others, either, In fact, I'm afraid [there tan't’ much chance now of mother having a love story to make [this book right. Only the other day heard her tell grandfather and that all men were a de A.snare. Oh, she laughed as she suid it. But she was in earn ont, Junt the same, I could see that And she doean't seem to care much for any of the different men that come to see her, She seems to ever so much rather stay with me. In she stays with m: lot thene I'm out of school, indeed, And she talks with me-—oh, she talks with me about lots of things. (I love to have her talk with me. You know there's a lot of difference between talking with folks and to folka Now, father always talks to folks.) One day it was about getting mar ried that mother talked with me, and 1 naid I waa so glad that when you didn’t ke being married, or got tired of your husband, you could get un married, just aa she did, and go back home and be just the same as you were before. But mother didn’t Ike that, at all Bhe mid no, no, and that I mustn't talk like that, and that you couldn't go back and be the same, And that ‘a found it out. That she used to think you could. But you couldn't. She said it was like what she read once, that you couldn't really be the mame any more than you could put | the dress you were wearing back on the shelf in the store, and expect It to turn back into a fine long web of cloth all folded up nied and tidy, as it was in the first place, And, of course, you couldn't do that—after the cloth was all cut up into a dress! She said more things, too; and af ter father's letter came she said atil! more. Oh, and I haven't told yet about the letter, have I? Weill, I will now. Aa I mid at fret, mother brought it in and handed it over to me, my Ing she guessed it was from father And I could see she was wondering what could be in it But I guess she wasn't wondering any more than I was, only 1 was gindder to get it than she waa, | suppose. Anyhow, |when she saw how gtad I was, and how I jumped for the letter, she drow back, and looked somehow as if she'd been hurt, and said: “I didn’t know, Marie, that a tet ter from-—-your father would mean = much to you.” 1 don't know whee I @4 my to that. I guees I didn't say anything. I'a already begun to read the letter, and I wae tn such @ burry to find out what he'd said. TU copy it here It wagn't long Te was like this: MY DEAR MARY: Some way Christmas has made me |think of you. I wish I had sent you jsome wift Yet I have not the slightest idea what would please you Sr. Kevin Hel-Lo-0-0-0 Petes On iso suo, Sates Wow, Pete! 911 , thats w Atonchay peoels! pread it Like = dented it un fore = and, ve Ameorked On 1g oul Gram? 2 e000 sua od. wr Hammer Veouiae ary Marie it To tel the truth, T tried to find something—but had to give it up. 1 wondering if you had a good and what you did. After all I'm pretty sure you did have 4 good time, for you are Marie now, You nee I have not forgotten how tired you got of being—Mary. Well, well, I do not know as I can blame you. And now that I have asked what you did for Christmas, I suspect it im no more than a fair turnabout to tell you what I did. 1 suppose I had & very good time. Your Aunt Jane myn I did. 1 heard her telling one of the neighbors that last night She faid she left no stone ungurned to give mo a gdod time. So, of course, I must have had a good time. She bad @ very fine dinner, and she invited Mrs, Darling and Mins Snow and Miss Sanborn to eat it with ua Bhe said she didn't want me to feel lonesome. But you can feel real lonesome in a crowd some Umes. Did you know that, Mary? But I left them to thetr chatter after dinner and went out to the ob- servatory. I think I must have fallen asleep on the couch there, for it wae quite dark when I awoke. But | I didn't mind that, for there were) some observations I wanted to take. | It was a beautifully clear njght, #0 1 stayed there Gill nearly morning. } How about it? I suppose Marie plays the piano every day now, doesn't she? The plano here hasn't been touched since you went away. Oh, yes, it was touched once. Your | aunt played hymns on it for a mis sionary meeting. ‘Well, what did you do Christmas? Suppone you write and tell Your Fe) FATHER. Ta been reading the letter out loud, and when I got thru mother was) pacing up and down the room. For) % minute she didn't say anything; | then she whirled ‘round m lenly and | faced me, and said, just as if some-/ thing inside of her was making ber may it: “I notice there is no mention of your mother tn that letter, Marie. I suppose—your father has quite for: gotten that there is such a person in the world as—I.” But I told her no, oh, no, and that I was sure he remembered her, for he used to ask me questionn often about what whe did, and the violinist and all “The violinist” ried mother, whirling around on me again. (She'd begun to walk up and down once more) “You don't mean to my you ever tol4 your father about him” “Oh, no, not everything.” I ex- plained, trying to show how patient I waa, #0 she would be patient, too. (But tt didn't work.) “I couldn't tell hin everything becaune everything hadn't happened then. But I told about his being here, and about the others, too; but, of course, I said I didn't know which you'd take, and—" “You told him you didn't, know which I'd take! gasped mother. Just Uke that she interrupted, and she looked #0 shocked. And she didn't look much better when I ex plained very carefully what I did say, even though I asured her over| and over again that father was in-| terested, very much interested. When I maid that,‘she just muttered, “In terested, indeed! under her breath. | Then she began to walk again, up and down, up and down. Then, all of a sudden, she Mung herself on the couch and began to cry and sob as if her heart would break. And when I tried to comfort her, I only seemed to make It worse, for she threw her arms around me and cried: “Oh, my darling, my darting, don't you see bow dreadful it is, how dreadful it is?” And then is when she began to talk some more about being married, and unmarried as we were. She held me close again and began to sob and cry. “Oh, my Garling, don't you see how dgeadful it all is—how unnatural it is for us to live—this way? And for you—-you poor child!—what could be worse for you? And here I am, jeal- ous—Jealous of your own father, for fear you'll love him better than you do met “Oh, I know I ought not to say all this to you—-I know I ought not to. But I can't—help it, I want you! { want you every minute; but I have to give you up—aix whole months of every year I have to give you up to him, And he’s your father, Marie. And he's a good man. I know he's a good man. I know it all the better now since I've seen--other men. And I ought to tell you'to love him. But I'm so afraid—you'll love him better than you do me, and want to leave me. And I can’t give you up! I can't give you up!” Then I tried to tell her, of course, that she wouldn't have to give me up, and that I loved her a whole lot better than I did father. that didn’t comfort her, ‘cause she ald I ought to love him. That he; was lonesome and Needed me. He needed me just as much as she need- ed me, and maybe more. And then she went on again about how un natural and awful it was to live the way we were living. And she called) herself a wicked woman that she'd| ever allowed things to get to such a pass. And she said if she could only | have her life to live over again she'd | do so differently—oh, so differently. Then she began to cry again, and| I.couldn't do a thing with her; and} of course that worked me all up and I began to cry. She stopped then, right off short, and wiped her eyes fiercely with her wet ball of a handkerchief, And she! asked what she was thinking of, and didn’t she know any better than ta talk Uke this to me. Then she said, come, we'd go for a ride. And we did. And all the rest of that day moth- er was so gay and lively you'd think she didn’t know how to cry. Now, wasn't that funny? Of course, I shall answer father's letter right away, but I haven't the faintest idea what to say. eee One week later. I answered it-—father's letter, I mean-—yesterday, and it's gone now. But I had an awful time over it. 1 Dainty Neckwear Add the finishing touch to your new dress or suit with a real Irish or Filet lace collar or collar and cuff set.

Then, all of a sudden. it would come over me what I was doing-—writing a letter to my father! And I could imagine just how he'd look when he got it, all stern and dignified, sitting in bis chair in the library, and opening the letter just so with bis papercutter; and I'd) imagine his eyes looking down and reading what I wrote. And when I thought of that, my pen just) wouldn't go. The idea of my writing | anything my father would want to read!
