The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

THE DEPARTURE. 8ynopsis of Preceding Chapters. Ruth O'NJel and -Myra Weed are bosom friends, and have been so from the time they were children. When they have finished school they plan to go to the city together, where Myra is to study if she feela like it and where Ruth is to enter a business college. Myra wants the pleasure of the

"Why can't you rent out lots of the rooms? Your folks can live in a part of it and mako lots of money," she ended rather vaguely "Don't you suppose we've tried?"

Ruth asked vehemently. "It always up-1

"What do you mean that you really aren't going?" "Yes." Ruth fairly gulped out the words. "But It was you who persuaded me to go. I wasn't going to this fall. "I know," Ruth answered, raising her head and showing her eyes all wet with tears. "You will have to go alone." Myra was a sympathetic little soul. And though she could not quite understand what this sudden change of plans meant, she knew that Ruth was feeling very badly. So she put her arms around her and hugged her affectionately. "Poor Ruthie," she crooned. "We will both go some time, even if we dont now. Tell me all about it." Ruth by this time had obtained her selp-possession, and was rather ashamed of herself for the exhibit of emotion. ' It is simply that we haven't the money," she explained. "But that is exactly why you wanted to go to make money.' "And it's exactly why I can't go. You know how much the railroad fare is, and there's board at th house " "Cousin Emily says it's ridiculously little, because it's just for girls who work" "Yes, but 10 weeks 40 weeks ihink how much it amounts to then there's the tuition at the business college." "But you've your prize money, that s $100."

difficult. She took and held one of Ruth's hands, and for a while the girls I

sat quietly side by side on the big bed. Myra looked at Ruth's profiile the big window threw it into a sharp silhouette and brought out small and slightly irlegular nose and the round, determined chin that just now rested on one of Ruth's capable little hands. "But you've still your hundred," she suggested finally. "You could go for a little time on that and maybe something would turn up. I'll share my money with you, and I know Papa would lend " "No, I won't borrow. Please dont even let him suggest it!" Ruth said positively but with a smile that softened the words, too. "It's sweet of you to want to share with me, but I can't let you do it. If I'm to get anywhere, it must be on my efforts not on borrowed money. "Besides." she went on, as if she had only then overcome a great deal of reluctance. "Father's had another attack, and he's worse. And he should have the doctor again. But we owe Dr. Lane a great deal of money and Father knows it and won't have him called in. If I paid " "Dear, you're not going to take your hundred " "If I paid $25 on account, it would be all right, and then we would know

If Skin Breaks Out and Itches Apply Sulphur Just the moment you apply menthoSulphur to an itching, burning or broken-out skin, the itching stops ana healing begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sluphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of its germ destroying prop erties, it quickly subdues the Itching, cools the irritation and heals tho eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Mentho-Sulphur at any drug store. Advertisement.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of seventeen and I am not at all popular. I can think of no reason, for I ' havp as eood clothes and am as godd-

lookinE as those that are popular. 1 1

do not dance, however, and all the rest of the girls do. Do you suppose that is the reason? But 1 hardly think so, for I could learn that easily. I am afraid that the only reason for my not being popular Is that I am too selfconscious. I hate to admit it, and I suppose I am foolish, but I can't seem to get rid of it. I am not able to make friends and when I have a chance I cannot talk easily or of interesting things. I feel almost sure v that if I could conquer that feeling I could make friends easily. RESPECTFULLY. A person who is self-conscious usually spends too much time thinking ' about herself. She is super-sensitive, afraid to act or speak for fear of making a mistake and imagining a slight when none was meant. The only cure for self-consciousness is to become more thoughtful of others. Watch what others are doing and listen to what they are saying. When you are absorbed in other people, you will forget about yourself. It is also well to consider how little "notice is given any one person unless that person is deliberately conspicuous. In a crowd there are so many things to see and listen to that not much attention ii given to any one person. Do not be alarmed because you are not popular at the age of seventeen. You are still very young and doubtless have many good times ahead of you. To be popular is not so much to bo desired; to have a few valued friends would mean far more. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Could you tell me a good lotion for chapped ' hands? Also, what will remove rings from around the eyes? BLACK EYES. A good lotion for chapped hands is made with one ounce of glycerin to two onuces of bay rum. twenty drops of carbolic arid and enough perfume to kill the odor of the acid. Consult a physician about the dark circles. Often they are caused from fatigue and lack of sleep, but when they do not disappear after a good rst they are the result of a physical disturbance.
