LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED. “I don’t mean anything in particular," said Ruth evasively, “except that every man has to do this when his wife has money of her own. You know very well, my djjar, that If you had an assured income without going back to your father, you would tell Jack all about your pearls and if he didn’t like it you would say, ’l’ll take my baby and get. out.’ “Speaking of babies, Leslie, did you ask Jack to go with us to that moving picture tonight?” “Yes, but he said he thought he would be too busy to go.” “Well, you tell him for me, Leslie, that because of the coincidence of little Jack being left before your door and Paula Perler’s picture, which has to do with a child being left at the

]y[artha Lee Her Column

Romance Lingers Dear Mi* Lee: I am a woman 35 and the mother of three frown daughters. I was married when 15. My parent* at ranged the marriage. Five years ago I met a young man ten years my junior. I divorced my husband. I hare boon married to this second man three years We are at nre.sent a happy couple. But do you think this rnfmage will boa success? PUZZLED. You may bo the exception to prove the rule that marriage between a woman and man with such a difference in ages, on the wrong side, cannot be happy. It is unusual for such a marriage to result in as much as three years of happiness. The fact that yours has may help you continue with little trouble. As the years roll on your task will be Increasingly difficult. As your body is ten years older than your husband's, you will have to keep your mind eternally young to hold him. Oh, why do women do such things, anyway? You should have known better after one unsuccessful marriage. Wouid-Be Couquette Dear Mias Lee: ] lam a girl 17 year* old. I am rather good-looking and dress nicely. All the girls I go with have boy friends and I haven't any. They are beginning to shun me because of this. How can 1 attract attention? I don t like to flirt, because I think it lowers a girl. Sometime* I think I am going to be an old maid. 2. What is the meaning of flirt? 3. Is it wrong to play kissing games at parties? Why? FRIENDLESS. 1. It is a bit early for you to worry about being an old maid, my dear. You want to attract attention? I think I understand. You don’t mean that you want to be conspicuous, but that you want to be attractive. Isn’t that It? Let’s see. You say you have looks and dress well. That helps. Then, are you friendly, jolly, easy to get along with, and a good listener? Those are important points. Develop them all you will develop friends. And don’t ■worry about the boys. 2. Webster says a flirt Is “an Inconstant, giddy, pert or wanton person, especially a woman." Doesn’t sound tempting, does it? 3. A. kiss doesn’t mean much to beys and girls of today. They give and take kisses with little thought. But every time a girl gives away a kiss, she lowers her ideals. She finds, after she is older, that the momentary thrill a kiss may have given her was not worth all that she lost.

door of two young people, all Albany Is agog with gossip.” “What kind of gossip, Ruth? What are they saying?” “Just what Mrs. Smithson intimated to you. That the child is John’s. Forgive mo, Leslie, for being so brutal. Asa rule, I do not believe in retailing this kind of thing, but this story has gotten to such a point that somebody must squelch it.” “Surely you don’t believe It is true, I Ruth?” “As far as I am concerned I don’t know anything about it, Leslie, and :if you leave it to me I don’t think ■it matters. Little Jack has been In ; your house for months. He has j grown into your heart. He Is yours legally. No one can take him from you and the sooner you stop conjecturing who his parents are the happier you will be.” “I have been conjecturing quite a little, Ruth, and I have almost come to the decision that the child belongs to Sydney Carton.” “Good Lord! What makes you think j that?" Ruth’s tone was curiously ! eager. “Well, you know that Sydney very j seldom comes to see me. He has i made the baby some very wonderful i presents and when he does come here he acts so queerly about him. He sits and looks at him as though he were trying to find a resemblance to someone and I think it Is a resemblance to himself. Ke acted very odd : the day of the christening. I know that he writes many letters to Jack ; and Jack writes to him. although Jack never mentions them to me. It would |be just like Jack, Ruth, to arrange jin some way to adopt his friend’s j child- Now wouldn’t it?” “Yes, I think it would. Leslie,” said Ruth. “Jack is very fond of his friends and very loyal to them. Perhaps that is the solution to the whole business. you know very well how hard It is to stop the gossips' mouths and they just love to talk about this picture.
