WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CLIX. As we taxied to the matinee Virginia returned to the matter of Jim, but now she spoke in terms of what 1 knew was much nearer to her heart than clothes and allowances. Another woman would probably have launched this discussion as soon as I came into her house. But Virginia—as I was aow coming to understand—could never easily break down the barriers of her own reserve and pride. She had always to work herself up gradually to a point of complete frankness. "Anne, did Jim say anything more about the way we schemed to get him into Tony’s office 7” she asked abruptly after two or three efforts to Introduce the subject easily and naturally. “Not. about your part in it,” I returned truthfully, if evasively. “Jim was very angry at me. I don’t know whether or not we’re on speaking terms," said Virgluia, trying to act as if it were all a Joke. “He was angry with Anthony Norreys,” X said, hoping that I wouldn’t have to reveal how far this anger with Tony had swept us both. “No one could possibly stay angry at Tony loaig. He’s the salt of the earth. Jim doean’t know him. and it hurts his pride to think he had to accept help from Tony. You wait till Jim’s riding around In bis own car.” “What difference will that make?” I demanded eagerly. "Ail the difference in the world! Tony's new to Jim, and that proud brother of mine hates pity or help even from his very own. 8o can you imagine how this Tony situation galls him?” replied Virginia with assurance. All through the play, which the applause marked us sufficiently interesting to command and hold every one else’s attention, my mind kept wandering back to Virginia's suggestion. I dreaded the thought of pinning Jim down to a (Us cussion of money matters, but it seemed to me that if I calmly and like a real pal Insisted on a proper adjustment of our everyday affairs, things really might go more smoothly between us. By the end of the third act I was fully resolved to try the thing out “on a business basis.” At the mere idea my heart thumped madly, but I thought I’d probably get used to our new eooi friendliness in a day or two and be ready to introduce the

financial element into it before long. “Shall we go for tea?” asked Virginia, as we crowded our way up the aisle. “I’d love to—only this Is my canteen evening, and I’ll be late as it is,” I replied, rather thankful that I didn’t have to sit at a tea table and reveal my sketchy knowledge of the play we’d just seen. “Home first, or straight to the canteen ?” asked Virginia, as she hailed a taxi. “Right to the canteen. My uniform’s there.” “And I have your hundred dollars for feeding poor boys,” replied Virginia. “Tony gave it to me —said, of course, he couldn’t bother Betty now, and that you liked getting it through a middleman. Then Jeanie turned to me with anew thought. “Why, Anne, is my brother evilminded or jealous?” “Oh, It isn’t that,” I answered, eager to tell my half-truth. “But naturally I can't always get in touch with Tony on account of my own home affairs. So it’s easier to get his fine donation from some one who can meet Tony for lunch or dinner when she likes.” Virginia studied me keenly for a second. Then she motioned me into the taxi, which had just made its wide sweep of the congested square and returned for us. And as I went forward Pat Dalton stepped up to the curb from behind the concealing taxi and came face to face with both of us. At oice Virginia turned away to give her directions to the driver. With only a moment’s hesitation Pat swept off his hat and I bowed gravely. After I had done it I wondered if Virginia would be offended; if she would feel that I had owed It to her to pretend that I did not see Pat. Virginia was so silent after we got into the taxi that I determined to follow up our new frankness by asking her how she felt about my friendship with the man who had once been everything in i the world to her and to whom she would ! not now even offer a casual greeting on the street. ’’Virginia. v“u don't mind—feel hurt think it’s disloyal to you for me to speak to him?” I ventured stumbliugly. “Why, of course not! I think your friendship may save him from a great deal," said Virginia, with carefully

President Appeals for Aid to Chinese of Famine District WASHINGTON, March 12.—President Harding today Issued an appeal to the American people to continue their aid to famine-stricken China. “The American nation has never failed to demonstrate its friendship for the people of China,” the President’s appeal said, “and that friendship always has been reciprocated in a manner which I feel Justifies the hope that In this hour of China's great distress our people will do everything in their power for its amelioration.” | averted eyes. Then she turned to me j and went on with less constraint: “Because we happen to be close doesn’t mean that I expect you to see only the people with whom I’m friendly. You're a free woman, you know, withs right to opinions and friendships of \-ur own. Now that’s all clear the last barrier to our being real sisters has gone down, basn’t it, Anne?” j There was a lonely, almost a pleading i note in Virginia’s voice. It gave me a ; glimpse of how empty a woman's life can be when love is gone. Almost in terror I caught her hand. “You’re generous aaid broadminded, I Jeanie,” I replied. “I wish more people j were like you. Indeed, I do feel we I really are sisters now. | There was a moment of silence. Then | Virginia turned and studied me atten- | tively. i In the half light of the cab I fancied that her eyes were wet, and wondered if she saw that mine were dim. —Copyright, 1921.

A special meeting of the board of school commissioners was held this afternoon to consider bids for schools Nos. 57 and 73. The matter has been complicated by the criticisms made by the State board of accounts on the plans and 'specifications prepared by Snider & Rotz, engineers for the board of school commissioners, and there Is some uncertainty as to just how far the board can go in letting the contracts until the tangle is straightened out. In an effort to adjust the differences, L. A. Snider of the firm of Snider & Rotz, called on Mr. Bschbaeh yesterday foliowing a special meeting of the school board to discuss the matter.
