THIS HAS HAPPENED BERTIE LOU WARD on the eve of her wedding tc ROD BUYER, feels troubled at receiving a dagger-like knife from LILA MARSH, an ex-sweet-heart of Rod’s. She resolves not to be jealous, but a second blow to her |nie comes when she accidentally overhears one of her bridesmaids ask another if she thought the bride liked being second choice. I , , . . . The pain in her heart vanishes when Rod tells her how much he loves her. They spend an ideal honeymoon and Bertie Lou forgets about Lila until they return and find her playing dictator in their apartment because she "knows what Rod likes.” Too much hospitality in the new home upsets their financial budget. This worries Bertie Lou as does the persistent annoyance of Lila. So she is happy when Rod accepts a position in New York with TOM FRAZER. Anxious to make a good Impression, they go to an expensive hotel until they can find an apartment. The cost of things amazes Bertl *t 0 T u v * n £ R *?| E R embarrassed when MOLLY FRASER urges her to buy more clothes than she can afford. She starts a charge account—against Rod’s wishes. He wins some money from Fraser at poker and recklessly invites the crowd toa night club. Lila arrives to visit Molly, who includes her In the party and seems to pnlnv Bertie Lou s discomfiture. The check for the affair was i"® r ® than SIOO and Rod had only S7O with him. Bertie Lou saved the day bv saving that she forgot to s lve *l“ }“£ money she had th on uie an dasks Tom to lendhlms.iO. On the way home she upbraids travagance and they quarrel for the firs UI NOW go on with the story CHAPTER XVI FORTUNATELY the money realized on the sale of their furniture came to Rod and Bertie Lou soon after the night of their disastrous party. Ever since that affair thev had maintained a slight though visible aloofness toward each other. Something must be done to end this. Each longed to get back on the old, lost ground, yet, as is not uncommon, neither would take the first step to end the strained relations. What was needed to heal the breach was some outside influence. That influence was the money from home. For they received more money than they’d expected. Arm when you are dying to buy a hundred and one things and there s money only for the one thing, you are really thrilled at the sight of a windfall. . Now Rod could repay Tom. That was his first thought. Bertie Lou said that Rod could get anew overcoat. ' ~ . i While she hadn’t told him thai she thought he was sadly in need of one she was sorry to see him wearing a topcoat in weather that was turning snappy. But nothing short of a blinding blizzard could have forced her to suggest that he get an overcoat and charge it. Bertie Lou opened the letter containing the money. It was from her mother. And when she saw the check she became so excited she forgot there was any ice to be broken ... the ice was broken, smashed. The ideal state -bliss before the quarrel was completely restored. She flew right into Rod’s arms, of course. And maybe he wasn’t glad to have her there! “Ycu act like a kid in pink panties and a lolly-pop,” he laughed, very oldish. "I’ll meet you at lunch time and we’ll buy you anew overcoat,” she cried, waving the check like a flag of victory. . . . This morning Rod kissed her when he went to work. Really kissed her. No silly little pecks that are a disgrace to honest people. Bertie Lou flew around the apartment, hurrying the housework so she could have plenty of time to dress for lunch with Rod. They hadn’t lunched together since they left the hotel, and Bertie Lou was looking forward to the event with happiness. But there was one shadow that loomed on her horizon. Rod had remarked the day before that Tom had been asking him why they were keeping so much to themselv§3. Molly wanted to know, it seemed, why Bertie Lou hadn’t called her up or been around to visit her. That was just like Molly, Bertie Lou thought. Expecting people to call her up. She could have phoned herself. But maybe—and this was not a comforting thought—she had wanted to impress Tom with the ungrateful neglect of people he had helped along. It certainly seemed as if she had an ax to grind . . . The idea of setting Tom to question Rod when she might so easily have learned for herself that Bertie Lou was absorbed in getting the apartment furnished. That was the excuse Bertie Lou had prepared. The apartment. So much to do. Because she wouldn’t go near Molly while Lila was there, nor any other time, if she didn’t have to. Os course, there hadn’t been much time for Rod to repeat what Bertie Lou said to him, supposing he’d be so reckless, so she wasn’t prepared to have Molly telephone her, supposing Molly would. She thought it must be Rod. Calls selodm came in except from him. She took down the receiver with a feeling that he was going to tell her he couldn't lunch with her. Molly’s voice surprised her. “Well, did it cripple you to step out?” Molly asked complainingly. "Why haven’t you been over?” “I’ve been too busy,” Bertie Lou

replied shortly. "You must be making a museum out of the apartment,” Mollie remarked. She was in a better mood than Bertie Lou expected. “But you can .take a day off, can’t you” “I’ve still got a lot to do,” Bertie Lou evaded. "I really oughtn’t to tell you the news.” Molly returned, “you’re so stubborn.” Her voice was too mysteriously promising for Bertie Lou’s indifference. “What news?” she asked. "Well, here it is in a headline. Lila’s getting married.” “Wha—a—a—t?” Bertie Lou screeched. “Sure. To that Mr. Loree we met at the Arabesaue. You remember him, don’t you?” “Os course. Go on tell me all about it!” “You’ll have to come over if you want to hear the rest. It’s a long story. Anyway Lila wants to see you. Come to lunch. “I can’t, Molly. I’m meeting Rod downtown to help him pick out an overcoat.” “Well, we don’t lunch until one. Cant you see him before that time?” "I told him I’d lunch with him.” "Look here,” Molly said, irritably. “What’s the idea of this? You’ll bays glentg o£ time to lunch with 4 <

I Rod. And Lila really wants to see you. You haven’t been acting very friendly, I must say. It looks like you’re jealous.” Bertie Lou’s face flamed red. That was Molly, crude. Using information Lila had given her, probably. Bertie Lou resented being played upon. But Molly, she knew, would be really angry if she refused. “Don’t be a silt” she said with a coolness that did not match her expression. “Lila’s too ambitious for me to worry about. But I wouldn’t break a date with Rod to go out with Lindy himself. If you want me to come over this aftemon for a little while ...” “All right,” Molly snapped. "But don’t be too late.” Bang. Bertie Lou immediately had to do something about her feelings. She was ruffled and elated. Surprised and please- 1. Annoyed and tickled to death. Avery trying state to be in, she found out. Calmed down, she decided she was on the whole more elated than any thing else. And the fun of seeing Rod’s face when she told him about Lila. If he didn’t already know. She had a bad moment wondering if Tom had told him and he'd been so mean, or so . . . nonsense, she knew he didn’t care enough about Lila to be hurt if she married. If he’d known he’d have surely told her. “But of course, we weren’t exactly confiding in each other lately,” she told the Bertie Lou of the mirror. “Stupid things. Wasting life just as though it would go on forever.” She looked so pretty when Rod saw here he thought she must surely have found a pearl In an oyster. Not that the pearl would have enhanced her loveliness, but the pleasant excitement would account for her sparkle and glow. They found a small table in a crowded, inexpensive restaurant, and Bertie Lou got all settled before she would condescend to answer his questions. He wanted to know, naturally, what she’d done to make herself so beautiful. "Molly called me up,” she preambled. “Wanted me to come to lunch.” “Then she isn’t sore at us?” Rod inquired, with evident relief. “She didn’t say so. She had some news for me. Lila’s marrying that man Loree!” It sounded so terrific, coming out suddenly like that. Bertie Lou watched Rod’s features take on an expression of wholehearted surprise. She felt a little sorry for him, regretted having thrown the news at him like a tidbit of gossip. After all, Lila had once been dear to him. Betrie Lou had not been able, in spite of her high flashes of certainty, to convince herself that you could grow dead cold toward a person you had loved. By no stretch of the imagination could she picture herself out of love with Rod. Hate, perhaps, could replace love. Rod, she knew, did not hate Lila. Had she whipped old memories with the shock ot a great surprise? Rod’s voice brought her immeasurable relief. He laughed. “Good for Lila. She’s landed her goldfish, after all. She always said she would. Nothing like sticking to your purpose in life.” Bertie Lou wanted very much to ask him if he didn’t care just a little. It would have been a great relief to hear him admit his unconcern in direct words. But there was no mistaking his sincerity. If he had any regret because the girl who had professed an undying love for him was marrying another man it appeared to be lost in genuine Indifference. “It’s a dirty deal for Mr. Loree,” she remarked feelfngly. “I can’t can’t understand why men like that haven't sense enough to see through a girl like Lila.” “Well, when a man goes out to buy something he doesn’t go to a closed market,” Rod replied. “I guess he knows he’s getting a doll-eyed little fortune hunter. “But maybe he knows enough about Lila to see that even if she doesn’t love him she won’t love any one else either. She couldn’t,” he added with what might have been considered a sour grape flavor by any one who didn’t know how well he spoke the truth. “Then he will deserve just what he gets,” Bertie Lou said. After lunch, and the shopping, Bertie Lou started for Molly’s, with a mounting curiosity about Lila’s desire to see her. “I wonder what’s on her mind?” she asked herself on her way there.

Little Tots Love to Go to Bible School

Hundreds of children all over the city have demonstrated that the old fable of getting children to Sunday school is often a hard job is no longer true. In the last few weeks hundreds of little tots have been attending the summer vacation Bible schools that have been conducted. Among the highly successful ones of the past few weeks is the one at St. Matthews Lutheran Church at Oxford and New York Sts. Mothers of all demonstrations just couldn’t keep their children at home. They didn’t want to. Three days a week for the past four weeks the children attended on their own free will at St. Matthew’s Church the Bible school. They started in at 9 a. m. and continued until 11:30 a. m., getting home in time for lunch. At the last session of the summer vacation Bible school at St. Mat-

Rid of Rheumatism and Back-Ache Had Five Years of Misery, But Finally Found Road to Health Anyone who is enduring the pains of rheumatism, back-ache, kidney weakness or stomach torture, will be more than interested in reading the experience of Mr. C. T. Bowen, 629 Mulberry St., Rockford, 111. He writes: "Rheumatism made my life miserable for 5 years. The pains in my right leg and hip were so intense that I couldn't lie on my right side. I couldn't even lean back in a barber's chair. In addition, I had terrible back-ache and kidney pains, and my liver felt sore all the time. I had suffered for years with constipation and stomach trouble, and was always taking pills and laxatives without getting relief. Whenever I ate, gas would form and I would bloat and cramp so that I was afraid to eat. I rolled and tossed all night long, and got up more tired than when I went to bed I was a mighty sick man when I read about Viuna and sent to the drug store for a bottle. From the first few doses, I knew I had found the right medicine at last. Before I had finished the first bottle. I improved wonderfully. Now all my rheumatism has just about vanished. My back-ache is gone, my kidneys are strong and my liver working fine. Food tastes good and I am eating heartily and sleeping soundly, with no stomach distress and no constipation. Today I am a well man, working every day, and enjoying life which I never expected to do again.” Vlnna let* promptly .on tlogg 1$ yowels, lasy liver and weak kidneys.
