The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

" Chapter 7. . A LETTER. If Tim' felt despondent when he left

the O'Neil house, he at least had the comfort of knowing that Ruth felt as badly as he. To poor Tim it Vas all a puzzle. He. .was very much in,-lore with Ruth;' she had called up in him every fine and noble instinct. She had called up especially a very great quality of ser-

hearted, easy going boy. "Something has sobered him," was his mother's way of putting it. "Guess tt must be a Rirl it usually Is." "So why " argued poor Tim, , "if you love me and if I love you, whydo you want to say no? Ruth, I never asked another girl to marry me. I have been more or less in love with other girls, of course, but never seriously, never like this." "I know, dear," Ruth had answered, keeping tight hold of her maternal attitude. "But you ought to be perfectly free, until we can really consider getting married." "But there won't be anyone else," the boy said stubbornly. "I know that when I love like this it is for always." Ruth implicitly believed this statement. Tim, indeed, was almost irresistible when he pleaded. And when

ins arms were around her, she had not tlv? strength to say no. She could only insist on a common-sense attitude in regard to their possible mart riage when she was standing apart from him. For his arms and bis lips pleaded as eloquently as his words. Nevertheless, she had her way. "Until spring, anyway, Tim," she bogged finally. "By that time father and mother will be back, and perhaps 1 will have a position at least I will know more what I can do and what 1 want to do. Just now it is all confusion." "What. do you mean?" "Oh, I spent the summer expecting to go to the city, then father was wort.", and there wasn't enough money and I had to make up my mind that whatever I did, had to be done here. Then, don't you see, there was the work of getting father and mother off on this trip, and now I am alone for the first time and able to think about what I am to do next." But it was unconvincing to Ti.n. He begged and coaxed. He spoke unconsciously in the romantic fashion of the lieropd of the man;- novels he read. In aMr years. Ruin was to remember many of his phrases. And ho went away that evening,

Belding had gotten up quite early, fixed her breakfast, methodically cleaned up her dishes, and ' gone to her work before Ruth was up. - So the girl sat idly at the table,- thinking of Tim as she ate her breakfast, and gloried in the sadneBs of her first romance. , "Dear Ruthie." the letter from Myra began. "You will thtink me a big pig for not havig written you before, but really and truly, I have been so rushed I simply couldn't spare a minute. I am w.riting mama for the first time today. I suppose you are both of you never going to speak to me again for being so selfish. "Cousin Emily has the dearest, duckiest little apartment right up on Riverside drive. That's a very fine section of the city and awfully expensive. She hasn't much room only a tiny sittiEg room, her bedroom, the sweetest bath you ever saw, and another tiny room which is supposed to be the maid's room, but which I have. You never saw anything so small. It has ropm for a couch, which is a perfectly good bed at night, one chair, a tiny table that I use for a desk, and a narrow chest of drawers with a mirror above it. But it is papered with nice rosepatterned paper and; has sweet cretonne fixings, and I like it better than my enormous old room at home. "You see, these apartments are supposed to be for a bachelor with a valet, or one woman with her maid. But Cousin Emily says she hates having servants around unless she is in a

huge house, so she dossn't keep any maid, and that's why she asked me to stay with her. I don't believe sbecan afford one anyway, for the rents are fierce, though she spends heaps of money on other things. "Well, I thought I had some grand clothes when I came but you should

"Well, we have been motor riding with parties, and we've gone to dances up on hotel roofs when I first came, but it is so late now that the roofs are closing and to theatres! You never imagined there could be such glorious shows. Oh, I'd love to be a chorus girl. Cousin Emily knows some, but she says it is a hard life really, though it looks so happy and easy. And I have danced and met more men I have to go to bed now; it's way past one in the morning. I haven't thought about work yet, but I will in a few weeks. I am having too good a time now. After all, I am glad Cousin Emily took me to live with her. ' Lovingly yours, "MYRA." Tomorrow Desolation.

FATNESS AND THINNESS. There is a proverb to the effect that "One man's meat is another man's poison." This might be applied to the case of fat women and thin women, because the food that makes one woman fat will keep another womau thin. As any physician will tell you, it isn't what you eat, but what you digest that makes you fat or thin. I am not saying this by way of encouraging any of my stout friends into remarking that they hardly eat a thing, but that they just go on getting fat anyway. The overweight woman is perfectly safe in assuming that she

gets all the fat out of her food and that

tites. You know the old-fashioned expression, "She keeps thin carrying it." The reason such women grow stouter when they eat less is because they have ceased to overtax the digestive system and are, therefore, assimilating more from the food they do eat. The stout woman can solve her problem by eating less. The thin woman must solve her problem by digesting more. She will have to find out why she isn't getting the best out of her food, it may be that she is too nerous, a condition that will set up fermentations and poisons inside the system which will be very bad for her. It may be that she is nervously "on the go" all the time. In this case, she will have to force herself to rest. It may be that she is worried, one con

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson:! have been been keeping company with a young man for nearly a year. I have never gone with another fellow steady as my folks always objected. A little while ago my steady told me that people say he is not : doing right, that he ought to give me a chance to go with other fellows and pick for mlself. It hurt my feelin?s . badly because I love him and I couldn't give him up. Do you really think he doesn't like me any more and is taking that way

to get out of it?- We are engaged and 1

expect to be married when things brighten up. , GASOUNA. It looks to me as if the young man Is taking that way to say that he does not care as much for you as he did and that be wants to be free from the engagement. If he loved you and intended tq marry you, he would be unwilling to have you go with other men. If he no longer loves you, the sooner you know the truth the better. Ask him to be frans. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twenty years old and in love with a young man . several years my senior. We have been keeping company for some time. We are both deeply in love, but at times he seems to be quarrelsome. When we are out in a crowd he says things which hurt my feelings. We are not friendly at the present time. Should I call him up or will it be more proper to wait until I hear from him? Should I waste my time keeping company with this gentleman when he acts this way? XANTHIPPE BRUNETTE. Wait until you hear from him. Since the man makes, you unhappy by unkind remarks you will be- happier in the end if he does1- not come back. Girls should realize that a man who is undind before marriage is doubly so afterward.
