"A Man and His Wife"

Isabel Gets Out of Receiving a Gill from Mrs. Simmons by a Studied Subterfuge.

By Virginia Terhune Van de Water. CHAPTER XL True to ber promise, Adelaide Simmons called upon Isabel Hamilton within a week after their meeting. Yet though Isabel knew she was to receive this call from Mrs. Simmons Bhe did not see her. One morning, Just as John Hamilton was starting for his office, he paused in the front door of his apartment long enough to remark: "By the way, my dear, I saw Mrs. Simmons yesterday, and she mentioned that she hoped to call on you today or tomorrow." "Oh, where did you meet her?" Isabel asked. Apparently, John did not hear the question. For with the exclamation, "Great Scott! I'm late! Good-bye!" he slammed the door behind him. His wife went to the front window, and in spite of the cold morning air she leaned out and watched him as he went down the street. Yes, he was. walking very rapidly so he was really in a hurry and had not pretended to be late just to avoid answering her question. He looked very stylish in his new overcoat, she observed. When he turned the corner she closed the window with a pang of selfreproach. It was not fair of her, she mused, to suspect such a good husband as John. She never used to doubt his word. Why should she now? Was it because she had met Adelaide Simmons and resented the former friendship between her and John? She hated to have to acknowledge even to herself that she had a jealous nature. She had never supposed that she could be jealous until she had been unhappy when her husband went to his club, and had felt uncomfortable whenever she thought of Adelaide Simmons. Yet she knew that John was a dear and appreciative of his little wife. , How grateful he had been to her for paying his insurance! .She was wrong to allow her suspicions to exist. She Suspects Adelaide Is a Schemer. In spite of her self-reproach, she remembered that, while a man might be good and true if left to himself, some women were schemers. She more than suspected that Adelaide Simmons was such a one. . And John had said the widow (by courtesy) was coming to call today or temorrow! Isabel did not want her to come. She knew that this woman of tie world would patronize her, would lak at her tiny flat with supercilious eyes, would talk of her former intimacy with John. No, she would not see her if she could help it. But how avoid it? Why not telephone to Ida Ferris and make an engagement for this afternoon? Then she would have' an excuse for being out when Mrs." Simmons came. John need not know that she had thought of this nly this morning. He had not lingered long enough to have her mention her plans for the day after imparting to her the information with regard to Adelaide's proposed visit. Ida, when telephoned to, said that she would be delighted to meet Isabel it 4 o'clock and take tea with her at

! the Plaza. After the arrangements

were made the young wife realized that, as the invitation had come from her, she must be the one to pay for the tea. And tea at the Plaza was an extravagance. Well, it was too late to withdraw now, and any way she simply would not stay at home and see Mrs. Simmons. Ida Ferris met her in the shopping district, and together the two women repaired to the Plaza. Tea was ordered, with several kinds of dainty sandwiches, followed by French pastry. Inwardly Isabel flinched when the waiter brought the bill, but she 6miled bravely at her companion's conventional suggestion that she be allowed to "stand the treat." "Nonsense!" Isabel said, as if takin gtea in this style were an every-day occurrence to her, "this is my party, if you please:" " The money that she had spent bad been some of her housekeeping allowance, she reflected ruefully on her way home. She parted with Ida at Ninety -sixth street. She had had a pleasant time, and even if it had cost good cash it was in an excellent cause. Ida was planning to have her often up at her apartment, and Isabel felt that she could not be always the recipient of hospitality and make no return. She was glad to prove to her old friend that she was not stingy and that she had money to spend, even if she had married a poor man. And she had escaped Adelaide Simmons' call. Just a Business Matter, Her Husband Says. This thought was uppermost in her mind as she opened her front door with her latch key. John was here before her, standing with the telephone instrument in his hand. As he saw her, he spoke quickly into the transmitter. "Central," he called. "Never mind about that number. I find that I don't want it." "What number was it, dear?' Isalell asked as John kissed her. "I hope my coming in just then did not interfere with your telephoning." "Oh, no," he said indifferently. "It was just a business matter I thought I would see about, as I had nothing especial to do at that moment. Now that you have come, I'd rather talk with you. Where have you been?" "Ida Ferris and I had tea together," she told him. 'I've been out most of the afternoon." "Have a good time ?" he asked, as he lighted a cigarette. He must have forgotten about Mrs. Simmons' promised call. "Yes," said Isabel. Then she repeated the question with which she had ended their parting conversation of the morning. "Where did you see Mrs. Simmons?" she asked. "You remember she spoke of calling. "But," she added hastily, "I had to be out this afternoon so missed her.i,' "I saw her on the street," the husband said. "Perhaps she did not call." "She probably did." Isabel told him. "I'll ask Cynthia. Cynthia!" she called, as she heard the maid moving about in the dining room, "did a lady come here this afternoon?" "No, ma'am," the maid replied.

FIGHTS; JAILED; FINED Frank Laugle and Clearence Yearging were found guilty and fined each $5 and costs In po'lice court for this morning by Mayor Robbins. They were charged with assault and battery by Homer E. Miller. Miller and a companion were driving last Wednesday night In a hired buggy through an alley between Fifth and Sixth streets, when Laugle stopped the buggy and asked Miller for whisky. Upon the latter's refusal, a fight ensued and Miller was struck twice by Yearging. Yearglng pleaded guilty yesterday morning but Laugle fought the charge, bringing witnesses to ' testify today. Both were put in jail.

Mr. Gaylord Yost, violinist, and head of the Indianapolis Conservatory of music, will assist Miss Cecile Hill when she appears at the First Presbyterian church Monday evening. The violin numbers which will follow are among the most appreciated and enjoyed selections which appear on modern musical programs. A particular favorite among these will be Bach's Air for G string. The second group of songs will be in German, and have been selected to typify the modern German composers, Strauss, Max Reger and Rubenstein. The charming melodies of these songs may be easily appreciated by music lovers even "There ain't been nobody here at all." "Good!" John exclaimed. "You know Mrs. Simmons said she'd call either today or tomorrow. So she'll probably come tomorrow, and you'll have the pleasure of seeing her after all." To be continued

though they do not understand 4 the German language. The next numbers to be played by Mr. Yost were played by him two weeks ago In a concert given by him in Bloomington before Indiana university students. They were most cordially received. The last group of songs will be in English. Two have been chosen from modern Russian composers. The last group will include attractive English ballads and songs by modern American composers, "June," the concluding number, by Walter Morse Rummel, will be a fitting number for the finale, since it has a glorious and magnificent climax.

THE USE OF SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparingly, if at all. if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv.
