BEAR THIS FIRST V FLOSSIE and MARY ROSE MIDDLETON' are two pretty s>ister s the daughters of widowed mother. They work for the Dexter Automobile ComD “Sfcry Rose is sectf?tary to thb sales manager, JOHN MANNERS, and is in love with him. Hens engaeed to DURI3 HINIG, an heiress. Because ot her feeling for him. Mary Rose repeatedly refuses to marry TOM AITZRD 1. a young doctor. _ Flossie, a bom flirt, does a very poor Job of keeping the office files. She spends most of her time running around with the president of the company. HILARY DEXTER, although she's ei*' gaged to his secretary. SAM JESSUi. When Mary Rose discovers that Dexter, who s married, has giwn her many presents. among them a 'gold vanity case, she orders Flossie to return them. But no one can make Flossie do anything she doesn't want to do, as the girls mother. MRS. MIDDLETON learns whan she tries to make har stop staying out late on cocktail parties and joy Tides. John Manners rakes Mary Rose home to meet his invalid mother, and after several weeks when they see each other Often, tells her he loves her and always will, even if he marries Doris, fhen the two sisters quarrel and Flossie gets even with Mary R< se by telling Manners that she's “just stringing him along' ami really loves Tom Fitzroy and intends to niairy him. Mary Rose wonders at his sudden coldness toward her. MRS. DEXTER finfla Flosrie s vanity case in her husband's car. and when she comes to the office to tell him she 11 divorce him. she mistakes Mary Rose foivFlossio and gives her a tongue lashing tefore the whole offlsv. Dexter fir.ally persuades his wife that he never has so much ns looked at another woman and they leave* the of Ice together. Marv Rose doesn t tell any one that it was not she but Flossie who left the case in the ear and shir-stands all the slurs and the snubs from the other girls. For. as Flossie points out. If Sam Jessup finds out that his girl has been going out with Defter, hr and nicer marry her. And Mary Rose hopes and pra.vs that Sam wiH" marry Flossie and/ keep her out of mischief. 1 \ The office has a HalWiwe’en masquerade but Mary Rose doesn’t go. Instead she reads to John Manners mother, and afterward Tom drives her to his house. There his mother tells her how jealous Doris Hlnig is of her and Tom adds that he just saw Dons and MannCrß fSLtHJnWTh. Story.) CHAPTER XLII “4&mr mother doesn't seem to' care so ntuch for me, does she?” Mary. Rose said with a laugh as she and Tom. left the house and crossed the moonlit sweep of latvn to his car. He had left itty engine running and it panted and heaved some great dragon, bristling with' windshield and dustshlelds, gleaming with nickel. Its headlights were liks. enormous eyes. “HotF would you like to go, for a drive out in the country?” Tom asked, grinning gt. her affectionately as he stood beside her. “Let’s go ' ’way out where the roads are clear, and see how much speed we can get ont of this old stink-wheel?” '’Fair enough!” Mary Rose answered eagerly. She liked Tom best when he was like this—full of fun and adventure. It was only’ when tre made love to her that he got on her nerves. She leaned back in her soit, wide seat as they got under way and looked at him —at his red hair crisped into little waves by the rushing wind and his mouth set with the intentness of his swift and careful driving. v She Vlosed her eyes and presently gave herself up to the joy of speed —the forgetfulness that there Is In swift, smooth motion of any- kind. "I must be home in an hour,” s|he said once and then lapsed back k\£o silence, grateful to Tom for not saying a word, for not even laying his hand over heps as they rode. Presently he took a sidewise glance at her and saw that she was ‘ sound asleep, her long lashes lying . like black shadows on her cheeks. He turned his car and drove her backHo New York St. v "Not even the jar of stopping wakened her, and Tom looked at the face so neat his, so white and _ fragrant ih the moonlight, and bent ' his head toward the heavy red lips parted with heri warm breathing. Then suddenly he straightened —up and shook the girl’s almost roughly. “Wake up, Rosey!” he said. “We'Ve home.” She opened her eyes and looked at him, dazeifly. “Oh, l*ve been asleep!” she murmured drowsily. “Not very polite of me, I'm afraid —especially on the Aral ride we’ve had together since goodness knovs when.**'It was the last time they were ever to ride together, these two—although neither of then)'’guessed it then. But years add yijars afterward whenever Mary Rose Middleton went flying over a country road in another man's car,.a lum*would come into her throat and tears would sting her eyes, as she remembered this last ride of Tom Fitzroy’s and hers. But she said/ “Good night, old timer!” lightly enough to him now. and ran into the house. Long after THROUGH ADVICE - OF NEIGHBOR

Woman Tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound “A neighbor advised me to try Lvdla E. Plnkharo’s Vegetable Com-

sound, which she said helped her so much.' So I bought a few bottles and tried it out. It Bure helped me wonderfully. I felt much better. My work is no longer a dread to rue. If I hear of any one who Is troubled

she had disappeared, Tom sat tljere Looking at the door that had shut her put of his sight. | ✓ * * * Mrs.. Mid<?feton _sal in the kitchen, darning stockln'gs. . ' > “Oh me, oh my! I never 6em to get up with jny mending,” she said to Mary Rose, as the girl came into the room. Het wotds were doleful enough but her tone was cheerful. . - _ Asa matter of 1 fact, she enjoyed mending. For she was one of those domestic women who keep house t with the same z6st that'many another woman plays cards or dances ~oy goes out on a shopping spree! An excellent, type and one that ib fast disappearing from the face of the earth! “Didn’t Flossie look too sweeT* so & words tonight?” Mrs. vMiddietort spoke again, presently, when .Mary .Rose had put on a bewing apron and was goHig through the mending basket. “1 declare, Mary Rose, she gets prettier every day she lives. I don’t suppose a would believe it. to look at me flow all .faded ar.d washed Kit, but —she's tlie living im age of me when I was her age!” ”1 dont, doubt it," Mary Rose answered propiptly. “I’ve always known that * Flossie got her looks from .you.” Mrs. Middleton sighed. "And her ways. too. I was always'full of th very old Nick'when 1 was a girl!” sli e said. “I could have had my pick of any of the men and then I had to take up -with your Pa. who never had one penny to rub up against another!” Bhe shook her head ini patiently. “And that’s exactly what Flossie’s going to \do!”“she added aftcru a minute or two. “I don’t wish anybody any bad luck, but sometime*" I almost wish that Wheezer would blow up with Sam Jessup In it!” Mary Rose laughed, then suddenly sobered. “If only Flossie is half as happy with Sam as .you were with my father, she’ll be a Jucky girl,” She told her mother sensibly. But Mrs. Middleton couldn’t see it that way. For one thing she couldn’t see what Floßsle could And to like In Sam Jessup! If he were the Prince of Wales, she still would dislike him, .she said with spirit. The clock struck eleven. “Well. I suppose the belle of the ball tonight,” Mrs. Middleton remarked, looking up at It. • • • And Flossie was the belle of-the ball that night. V ~ v There wasn’t a girl at the Owipany’s Hallowe-en masquerade who could hold a candle to'her. ' In her pink dress with Its rosebud wreaths and her pink silk stockings and gold slippers, she was springtime and and beadty incarnate- v At least she seemed all to Hilary Dexter who. dresspd like a clown, watched wherever she went, flitting from one cornet of tho room to another like a sunKeam. * She was not-only the belle of the bail but the life of the party, She romped and she sang. She gave an of the Charleston in a clearedjspace In the center of the big shipping room where the party was held.

Someone had put 'pep" into th# party by putting gin in the punch, and the more of it that Flossie drank the more lively she becahie. "Come here, Dex, old kid!" she called to the president of the com pany, as she collected a crowd together for a tug-o’-war. And tcr'the shocked surprise of Miss Mlnnlclsi Dexter yelled In answer, "Rlght-o, Flossie.'" and came running heavily to her. v "Tlrtt wpnlt make much of a n\t, with Mr. Dexter to haya. her call out like that to him," Miss Minnie* observed acidly to Sam Jessup. "Ho'a the president of the company and he ought to be treated with re spect.” '*■ "That’s no Jjke," Sam answered seriously. Bu,t what wither of them knew was that Hilary Dexter was very, very tired of being treated gwith respect. No one in the whole world but Flossie Middleton treated, him like a pal and a playfellow. No one elee seemed to forget th£t was the hoad of the that sold .the wonderful Dexter Eight, and that ho was worth three 'ftiilllon dollars, lfkfi was worth a nickel! - _ Steven his wif£, his grown children nnd the men he played golf with treated him with concealed awe. But Flossie made him forget that he> was rich and successful and years old. She danced wUh him* and laughed with him and at Kim. Sometimes she slapped his face and called him "fr&sh” whan he tried to kiss her. So far he had not kissed He alryiost had, that day on (the' stairs when Mary Roae had seen them togethef—almost!. ‘ But tdnlght, a he looked at her, Hilary'Dexter fell! that he couldn't do without Flossie much longer. He wanted to held her In his arms—all her sweet, warm slimness crushed close tp hifn—her red mouth' that was like a red flo\\er bruised by his kisses. She had played with him long enough. “Let's ditch this shindig,” he said in a low tonqjo her, as they joined hands in an old fashioned Virginia reel. She nodded and sailed- with a flash of her eyes that- were like brilliant blue jewels. - - Ten minutes later, wrapped in her thin satin cape, she -came down to him, where he waited for her in_t>le shadow of she great bujjding. " Areti’t we wicked to sneak away like this? ' she whispered, laughing softly in the darkness. ‘1 don’t kndw what Sam wlb say when he can’t find me/ r "He’ll probaWy say that It’s funny Jriat we’ve both-disappeared,” Dexter answered. -"And the rest- of tl)em will probably think what he We should worry!” _ Something in- his tone made her look uneasily at hljn. She wondered 'lf she v ought to get into the big car and go riding with hlrfk alone. True enough, 6he had gone with him plenty of times before—,,but h*-seeme<Tso queer, tonight. Not

As they left the town the big clock on the tower of the courtnouse pointed to midnight. "Dingbats:” Flossie Exclaimed. “I didn’t know jt wab that late, did you? The party’ll be breaking up. We'd better go hack.” “Nothing doing,” the .man answered shortly. “By the-tlrne we got back they’dvall be gone, anyway.” “But Sam—” Flossie walled. “Forget Sam!” Dexter Interrupted her.
