Saint and Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN
Hathaway and Faith Lano at each other blankly for a moment then Bob laughed shortly, flicking the typed message that the fleeing stenographer had left for him, With a contemptuous linger. “Scared stiff—lit out," he said succintly. “She must have guessed that you had traced the letters to this office. But this is rather conclusive proof that I had nothing to do with her nasty little blackmail escheipe;, isn'trlt?” Bob, don’t," Faith pleaded, niching out a shy hand to touch his arm. “I never really doubted you, but I had tp And out all I could—for Cherry’s sake. In my heart, I knew—" "Your big heart, your darling, generous big heart!" he said huskily, gathering her cold fingers into a grip that hurt her. “This isn’t the time nor the place, dear to tell you. I had planned it so different —moonlight or starlight, the two of us alone, entirely away from aH. the other Lanes and Cherrys problems—but you know, Faith, uarling Faith, that I love you, won’t you to marry me. You’ve known, haven’t you?” He drew her toward him, his blue eyes brilliant with love, but a little shy, too —the eyes of a man who has not had enough practice in tender declarations to do it easily. “Yes," Faith whispered with unpps. Then, with a sudden Affile of heartbreaking tenderness that flooded her brown eyes with light and lifted the deep-cut corners of her mouth in irrestible Invitation, she abandoned her instinctive effort to hold back, and walked gladly, proudly into his arms. She cupped his flushed, lean face in her hands, and raised her face for his kiss. His arms strained her with such sudden fierceness against his breast as he bent to kiss her that her back protested with a sharp stab of pain. But it was a delicious pain. She could have smiled at being stretched
The WOMAN’S DAY By Allene Sumner
That old, old question—is friendship without love possible between men and women? Thyra Samter Winslow gives her answer in a current magazine. She says, “A fiftyfifty deal between the sexes is impossible. Either platonic friendship ripens into something deeper, or it drifts into an acquaintanceship that becomes pretty much of a bore.” And it Is thjkman, says Mrs. Winslow, who spoils the friendship game *uery time. “Either' he insists on to turn friendship into a more Amorous relationship, or his love affairs with other women make him neglect his friendships almost entirely.” A smart girl, this Mrs. Winslow! By the way, have you read her book, "Show Business?” * * • The Queen —yes, we just can’t stop talking about her—wore a georgette crepe evening gown to the White House state dinner In her honor. And her royal Russian mother’s diamond tiara blazed In her bobbed chestnut hair, and her mother’s pearl drop earrings dangled from the regal ears. I wandered through an evening gown department the other day and found a dozen girls buying their winter dance frocks. Every one of these ripply gowns were made of geargette, priced from $39.50 to S9B. The average gown bought by the p. w. g. was $49.50. Downstairs at the jewelry counter were sets of pearl drop or rhinestone earrings with bracelets, chokers, and dinner rings to match for $5.95, which the p. w. g. bought too. * * * What a glorious age we live in! Our .working girls can dress like queens, thanks to the $25 a jyeek which at least most of them make, and thanks to the designers who see to It that the dress standard of the age for working girls is silk and not gingham. Meanwhile some social lights wail that “there’s no way to tell a mere working girl from society nowadays.” No, thank goodness, there isn’t. Aro power to the age and day! W• * * Mothers of flapping sons and daughters won't like this confession of Martha Ostenso, young author of “Wild Geese” and “The Dark Dawn.” Miss Martha, erstwhile school teacher who broke into fame when her "Wild Goose” won a first novel contest, has bought an old Dutch house along the Palisades, wherein she gives colorful revels to her friends. She confesses that most of her writing Is done in the gray dawn after one of these parties when she is too weary to go to bed. Well, there’s no one rule for all people. We ourselves dimly suspect that a really good party composed of the right people might move the Muse! v * * • This may sound rather strong to women of the old school—the school that said that the only lot for a real woman was, marriage, the job of home-making. It is in Anne Shannon Monroe’s “Singing in the Rain,” a" chapter called “The Woman Who Should Marry.” “We know —we women—that in nil time there have been those in homes who did not belong there: women who could have honored n judge's bench, thrilled an audience cleaned up cities and towns and straightened out governments, writbooks, painted pictures, or modin clay, but who never while We sun shone down could make a home. . “And homes have been hells, and women’s hearts torture chambers, nfld children’s lives embittered, and needed work in the world left un (tone, all because of a mistaken idee that all women should be shoved druromed. crowded, pushed, coerced into homes.”
on the rack if he had been bending over her, kissing her. When at last he flung hack his head, triumphantly, and she rested in the curve of his arms, looking up at him with wide, misty eyes, she saw to her amazement that his lips were trembling, and that tears had magnified the amazingly blue irises of his eyes. “Not —sorry, Bob?” she whispered, and touched his cheek with tingling, quivering fingers. “Sorry! Oh, my God, Faith! I’m just praying that I’ll be halfway good enough for you. I feel such a rotter—about Cherry. I wish I had never kissed another girl, that—” “Don’t!” she begged huskly. "1 know —how you feel. Chester Hart kissed me once, but I didn't like it. I —l rubber it off,” she confessed naively, "and he wak so angry that he turned to Cherry. But I’ve—never—let men paw me, Bob.” “You precious!” he laughed, rubbing his cheek against hers, and cuddling her fingers against his throat. “We’ll simply have to forgive each other for our dreadful sins and begin all over again. Do you really love me?” His voice was suddenly serious, a little Incredulous, as if he sincerely doubted that such a marvelous thing had really happened to him. “I’m afraid I love you too much,” she whispered unsteadily, drawing a quick sharp breath as if her heart hurt her, filled as it was with too much joy. "I always love too much, burden those I love with tenderness and solicitude. Don’t let me burden you, Bob. They say men like to pursue. never quite sure, even after marriage, like to think there is still a hidden chamber, containing the very core of love —” Rob Hathaway laughed exultantly, cutting short her fumbling explanation with another long kiss. "You’re a natural-born giver, dear heart. You couldn’t hold back to save your life.” “We’ll spring the news on the Lane family and on Uncle Ralph this very night,” he told her gaily, after a bit. as she was smoothing her hair. She looked up at him with startled eyes. “And break your promise to your uncle?” she demanded. "No, Bob We’re going to keep it secret until after Cherry's weddfng, and you’re not coming to the house. No, wait, please, darling! It isn’t fair to allow you to be mixed up in all that’s happening or threatening to happen to Cherry. We'll see each other frequently—” “Why, Faith, I couldn’t stand It!” he protested plaintively, like a hurt boy. "Just when I’ve learned what heaven is— ’’ “Please, Bob, it will be hard for me, too, but, well —I’m thinking of Cherry, too.” Sudden color flamed in the clear ivory of her cheeks. “She loves you, Bob, she really does, in her way. It would hurt her terribly to see our—our happiness, while she is preparing to give herself into a loveless marriage. Do this last thing for me—fop Cherry—and after she is married, I’ll wear placards, like the old sandwich men, advertising to the world that I’m going to—to marry Mr. Robert Hathaway, rising young architect.” “I’ll think it over,” he told her so forlornly that she was touched almost to surrender. "Hello! Why, Faith, you here! Hello, Mister Hathaway!” Cherry stood in the doorway, her piquant little face hard and angry, her yellow eyes blazing. "I suppose Faith has told you that we’r© on to your little game. I thought I’d beat Trer to it, but I found she'd taken those awful blackmailing letters. Now—coine clean, Mr. Bob Hathaway!” (To Be Continued) ' (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.) TOMORROW: On the trail of sinister Pete Gonzales. Washstand, Dishpan Persist in U, S. Ilv NEA Service WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Modem home conveniences aren’t as general as one might think? Who’d have imagined that only 60 per cent of the homes in the country have stationary washbowls?—that the rest still get along with old-fash-ioned washstands, movable bowls and pitchers, just as in Civil War days? The General Federation of Women’s Clubs has investigating, to dtermine just how much the housewife’s work has been lightened by up-to-date domestic equipment. The survey still is going on. but it

In the other 25 per cent the dishwashing is done in those big, deep tin pans that most city dwellers had supposed to be as obsolete as the bustle or hoop skirts. In only one-third of the Nation’s homes are stationary washtubs to be found. As for fancier improvements, like electrical devices, other than lights, which are pretty general, the proportion of homes with any equipment is small. Asa rule, too, the housewife who has to do her own work has the fewest conveniences. The most convenient homes generally are the ones with servants, where the housewife wouldn’t have to hew wood or draw water anyway—the conveniences are convenient for the servants, not for her.
