DESIGNS NEW EYE GLASS Swedish Doctor Invents Glare Protecting Device Bn United Prc STOCKHOLM, Sept. 27.—A new kind of eyeglasses to protect drivers of automobiles against glaring headlights has been invented by a Stockholm eye specialist. Dr. Carl G. Bostrom, who is also chief medical officer of the Swedish Navy. The glass itself is not new, being the German made Hallauer glass No. 66 which eliminates the irritations caused in the human lye by certain sharp rays, but Dr. Bostrom'j idea consists in gradually shading this greenish-yellow-gray glass into ordinary clear glass at the lower half of the lenses so that, by slightly bending the head when meeting a glaring head light, the driver can protect himself and at the same time have uninterrupted vision for ordinary driving.

SYNOPSIS Nancl was pretty, a GAGE, and a blue blood even though she did live on the other side of the railroad tracks. But Nancy just couldn’t help falling In love and becoming engaged to handsome Eric Nelson—whom she had met at Edith Harcourt’s, a rich school chum. Nancy's pride causes her to break the engagement when she finds that Eric’s mother is a laundress at the Harcourt’s. Chapter xvi Eric accepted the ring and turned to leave the room. “Oh, Eric!” Nancy ran to him, attempting to put her arms about his neck. But he disengaged them. “No! This is # the end. Don’t expect me to come whining back. I may be the son of a washwoman, but, by God, I’ve too much pride to accept anything more from you—ever.” The door slammed. Nancy began to cry. She wept for her wounded pride? She had not thought he would react like this. He couldn’t have loved her! She wept for her wrecked illusions— her prince of a lover, a washwoman’s son! Wept for her fingers through the thickness of his lost love; never again to run her fingers through the thickness of hair; never to press her cheek against the firmness of his hand. Life stretched before her in an endless eternity of years. Vacant without him! * * * Then she pictufed Hilda Nelson gathering in the Harcourt underwear, and wept no more. ’> When Amanda returned she found Nancy at the piano. “Didn’t you gc> to Edith’s?” “Yes!” “You didn’t stay long,” commented Amanda. “It wasn’t necessary, mother.” She turned so that Amanda could see her face with its traces of recent tears. “You were right. My engagement was a mistake. I’ve broken it.” “Nancy! Do you mean it?" Darling, have you done this for me?” “No,” Nancy replied honestly, “I’ve done it for myself. I’ve been deceived.” “Deceived? How?” “Oh, it .Isn't his fault. I Idealized him. That’s all. He isn’t a gentleman. He doesn’t pretend to be.” “What do you mean, Nancy?” “His mother,” the girl cried bitterly, “is doing the washing at Harcourt’s this morning!” % She had expected Amanda to burst into tears. Instead she said, coolly, “I’m not a bit surprised. She looked like a servant.” “A servant? Oh, yes, Indeed! She prides herself on it. Eric said she has come from generations of servants. It’s bred into her.” Even her mother did not know The help-yourself plan of a cafeteria enables the finest of foods at “odd penny prices” to be served at White’s Cafeteria “On the Circle **

I the torture Nancy was inflicting on herself by repeating those words. As if she would cauterize the bleeding wound his loss had made. Amanda patted her shoulder. “I’m sorry, dearie; but I warned you, I told all the time. . . . “Now, mother, please” “I Won’t remind you of it,” Amanda interrupted eagerly. “I’m really glad it’s happened as It has. Suppose you’d been married before you found it out?” For one sickening moment Nancy could wish they had been married. Then it would have been too late—“At least I would have belonged to him,” she thought, wildly. Oh, she mustn’t even think of him that way again. He was nothing to her any more. Could never be anything * • *. She turned to her mother, and her eyes wpre blazing. “How am I going to face people? Think what they’ll say. Oh, mother, what am I going to do?” Amanda sighed. “I don’t know. If only you could go away for awhile.” “Oh, if I could. If father would send me to San Francisco and let me go on with my music.” “I don’t know if he could afford It, Nancy.” “He could If he wanted to. Oh, mother, it would only be for a little while—just until I could get something to do—singing in a church, or something.” Her ideas as to the remuneration for singing in a city church were vague, but she felt that once she had gotten away, it could be arranged. “I Just dont’ know,” Amanda said, doubtfully. “You might ask him. Won’t do no harm to try.’’ But Silas Gage refused to even listen to such nonsense. If Nancy wanted to break her engagement with Eric Nelson it was all right with him. She didn’t have to get ijiarrled. But as for going to San

Francisco, no, sir! He wouldn’t give her one penny. “All right,” sobbed rim away.” “Try it,” her father advised, grimly. “You try it, my girl. Never done a day’s woi'k in your life. How far do you think you would get?” Which was really food for reflection. Desperately, Nancy thought of Raymond Hollandsbee. If he were at home, perhaps, he would be willing to lend her some money. She would hate to borrow from him, c i course. But she was confident she would soon be able to pay it back. fi. owever, there was r.o use to even consider it. And there was no one else . . . With a flash of determination she decided to write her grandmother. Her letter would have done credit to a member of the diplomatic corps —not so much by what it said as by what it refrained from saying. “I’ve been disappointed in the man I was to marry, grandmother. It isn’t the kind of thing I can explain. I am so hurt—so disillusioned! If only I could ge away. Would it be possible for you to help me,” etc., Signed, “Your adoring namesake, Nancy Gage.” On her way back from the postoffice she met Edith Harcourt. Seeing her coming, Nancy threw back her information with news of her her head and resolved to forestall own. “H7o, old thing!” “Oh, Nancy, why didn’t you come in this morning when you brought the fudge?” “I didn’t have time,” Nancy answered quickly. “But I do want to see you, Edith, I’ve something to tell you.” Edith’s eyes widened. It was an expression Nancy particularly disliked, but she managed to keep her voice friendly and confidential as she replied, “My engagement Is broken.” “Really, Nancy? But why?"

“Oh, it was just a mistake on both sides.” “I understand,” Edith cried, affectionately. “My dear, I don’t blame you. I was mistaken in him, too. He Js so good-looking” # Nancy nodded, swallowing her tears. Hating Edith! Oh, how she hated her! “No, indeed,” Nancy said, boldly. “He’s devoted to her. He doesn’t “I was so surprised,” continued Edith, “when Mary said she was coming to wash. It seems she had asked Daddy if we didn’t need some one. My dear, can you imagine it? I’ll bet Eric could kill her.” care what she does.” “Oh!” Edith’s face showed that she was not entirely without comprehension. “Poor old Nancy!” “Don’t feel sorry for me.” “But, darling, it’s a shame.” After you’d announced your engagement and all. Let’s console each other, shall we? I haven’t felt that our friendship has been the same since he arrived.” Something sincere in her voice warmed Nancy a little. Perhaps she hadn’t been fair to Edith. No doubt she had her side of it. She had been crazy about him too. And most girls didn’t play fair where a man was concerned. It wasr t her fault his mother had gone there to work. And. be-

sides ,what earthly chance did she have if she were forced to stay on here with Edith against her? So they walked on, arm in arm, making plans which meant nothing to Nancy; still raw from the shock and loss of the only man she felt she could ever love. The days passed/ The whole tofrn knew now that it was "all over” with Nancy and Eric Nelson. Edith insisted that every one thought Nancy had done “just right.'’ How could she have married him? And his mother a washwoman! But she was a good one. Mary Donnelly reported such snowy clothes and beautifully finished ironing that Hilda became much in jiemand. Nancy forced herself to endure it until she heard from her grandmother. And one day f oward the end of March her answer came. . . .
