The Girl Who Had No CHance By MARION RUBINCAM
Chapter 22. THE GAY PARTY j "When Cousin Emily laid aside her "wrap and took off her hat and veil, Myra saw that indeed she was 36 or 3 or whatever her real age might be. She tried to count it up in her head she. Myra, had been 10 when Cousin Emily came to visit them; she was almost 19 now, that made nine years. Her mother had said then that their courin was 28 or so yes, that made her about 36 now. Myra turned round again to look, but Emily had fluffed her hair before a mirror, powdered her nose, and turned about no, was she in her thirties? She did not look it! But the strong light from the window showed lines around her mouth and lines, to Myra, meant Age. "Come to your room," the woman said, and led the way down the tinniest of hall ways. That's how Myra, first
aw the room she tried to describe to
Ruth. She felt as though she were
stevping into a flowered hat box, or
into a closet. Brought up where space was cheap and big houses the fashion, the girl had no idea a room could be so tiny! "Now, off with your things and be comfortable. Do you want to wash? Here's the bath." The shining plumbing was a delight In Myra, and the rows of bottles painted with gay flowers that lined the
glass shelves, fascinated her for weeks. Emily had such a variety of
perfumes, powders, paints, rouge, lip f-ticks, toilet vinegars, talta, ammonias, and, goodness knows what else! "Breakfast!" she heard In a clear,
bright voice. So she went back to the
living room. In some marvelous fashion, Emily had slipped from her street dress into a loose velvet and chiffon negligee,
and she was now curled up in a corner of her enormous sofa, with a low tea table before her. A waiter had brought
up breakfast and placed it on this, with
the coffee bubbling in a little copper
percolator and eggs in a hot plate under a silver cover. Myra slid into a low ehair and ate with relish. Her country appetite was ' still with her in fact, as sie afterwards said, it never deserted her. "Now!" Emily leaned back with a sigh of pure content "Tell me about everything. Your mother said she was sending letters with you." So one day began, and so all the other days began. Myra slipped easily Into this new life. She stayed up glorious-ly late at. night, and when her healthful home training made her sleepy at midnight, she made herself coffee to keep awake. She arose at 10 or even later, when she heard Emily splashing in the bathroom Emily took a cool shower mornings, and in the late afternoon, a bath that rivaled the storied ones of ancient Rome for its length and luxuriousness. In her own simple kimono Myra curled up on the other end of the sofa and ate rolls and drank far more coffee than was good for her. And then, perhaps at noon, perhaps In the afternoon, the two set off for the dav's rounds. "We'll shop today," Emily would say when nothing else was in prospect. ! ihcv wmilrl en downtown on tOD
of a bus Myra always a bit surprised that a river and trees and a park s-hould exist in this amazing city. They would wander about the fashionable Firth Avenue shops, or sit in the exquisite little salons of the very select places, while mannequins paraded before them, wearing dresses that dazzled the p-irl from Marketown. Some afternoons there was a matinee, or a movie, and often there were trees at the homes of Emily's women friends women ' like herself who talked rapidly in a language strange to Myra, laughed shrilly, and wore amazing gowns. But the evenings were the great times! From the time Emily curled up on the sofa in the mornirg. it seemed to her guest that the telephone began to ring., Engagements were made for the dav, or for the whole week. Emily marking them down punctiliously in her red leather-covered engagement book. "For one always keeps an engagement," she warned Myra. "I'm careless and forgetful in most things, but not in that." Usually, coming in tired about 6 o'clock from tea or the theatre or shopping, she would fling herself down on the couch, throw out her hands, and look up at Myra with a comical smile. "Oh. to be young and 18!" she would cry. "Myra. you look like a baby and I your grandmother. Darlin', run some hot water into the tub, like an angel, while I set off these smothering clothes. I'll take up the serious question of this evening when I've had my bath." A long time afterwards she would emerge from the bathroom, as fresh rs a child newly awakened from sleep. By this time Myra knew the long process of cold cream rubs, hot water with stilt in it, cool rinses, rub downs with toilet vinegar, ice packs on the face, and a final spraying with perfumed toilet water and powder, that made this woman of 36 come forth like a radiant voung goddess of energy. "I feel glorious," she would call over her shoulder to Myra. "Iet's
have a party, a real gay party. Shall I wear my rose color sequins, or the gray chiffon? Ted and Mark will be here at 8 and well dine with them. Darlin', telephone Maisie and Chris, Vanderbilt 6S49, and tell them to meet us at the Biltmore at 10. We'll dance child, I wlHh. I knew a man young enough for you. All mine are so much older. Have yon got the number?" Myra, excited again, would obedient ly carry out directions for the gay rarty that always followed. "If only Tim would come! " she kept thinking to herself. Tomorrow From the South.
Heart Problems
Dear Mrs.; Thompson: I have been having dates with a boy who seemed to like me real well and wanted me to go with him alone, which I wouldn't do. Now he snubs me because I would not Do you think he really liked me? I hate to have him act that way. How can I make him like me better without going with him alone? CARRIE B. Let the boy have his own way. He likes you or he would not snub you. If you remain firm and indifferent to his signs of resentment he may decide the best way is to agree to a friendship on your terms.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl in Junior high school and am a stranger. I have not many friends. Please advise me how to get acquainted. CURLY. Getting acquainted is often a slow process. You know it is necessary to go half way or people will not do their part. When you meet some one you like, be just as pleasant as you know how to be, and do your share of the talking. Unless you prove yourself to be interesting, people will not take an interest in you. Be kind and courteous ond thoughtful of others and you will learn friends.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 17 ajid I am in love with a young fellow a little older than I. He seems to care a great deal. We have been going together off and on for a year, but now he doesn't want me to go with others and I feel that he is wrong. I am in another city now on business and will be here for some time, but he feels I should come back to be with him. Would it be a wise plan' for me to go back to him, or would it be better to stay where I am and hold my position? We are almost too young to marry, but I feel that I could never love any other man as much as I do him. Please advi3e me what to do. J. C. D. Do not give up your position and go back. You are too young to marry and too young to go with one man exclusively. Love at the age of 17 is a serious matter, yet no matter how deep it may seem at that time, it usually dies out and leaves the victim ready for a greater and richer love. Your future happiness depends upon your wisdom now. Do not make any great decisions. Wait vlintil you' are older before you decide so important a matter as your choice of a mate.
PRESIDENT HARDING IS ASKED TO HELP TUT HEART INTO THE CIVIL SERVICE"

ALLEGED FORGER HELD. EVANSVILLE, lad., March 24. Wanted in Sturgeon, Ky.t on the charge of passing fraudulent checks, Joseph James, 21 years old, colored, of Lake, Miss., was arrested here and will be turned over to the Kentucky officials who will come for him. .
CHANCES FOR . - (Continued from Page One.) Elliott of Indiana, is chairman. That committee last year Investigated United States government loans' to the former Imperial and the Kerensky governments of Russia during the late war. These loans totaled $287,000,000 and it is the opinion of the committee members that they" have been repudiated by the present Soviet government of Russia. The expenditures in the state department committee - has information that the Lenine-Trotzky government bases its repudiation of -loans to former Russian governments not only by the United States but by Great Britain and France as well, on the fact that ,these three powers, without a declaration of war, sent armed forces into Russian territory and engaged in hostilities against forces of the soviet government. The claim is made by
the Russian government that the expense it was put to in the protection of its interests exceeds the aggregate of the loans which it has now repudiated. The soviet government contends that it was the purpose of the
three powers to overthrow it and set
up a "debt-collecting" government. Policy Undetermined. Following the withdrawal of American forces from northern Russia and from Siberia the Wilson administration adopted a policy of complete alooftness from Russian affairs. What the policy of the present administration will be is yet to be determined. Apnarently Great Britain, in entering
into a trade agreement with Russia,
has accepted the repudiation of Its
loans, aggregating about four billion dollars, and has determined to go into
the land or tne Bolshevists and de
velop a rich market for its products.
It is also apparent that Secretary of Commerce Hoover is opposed to the United States adopting such a policy. Prior to the time trade between the United States and Russia was suspended our principle exports to that country was agricultural machinery, and
much of it was manufactured in Richmond, Ind. Our principal imports from Russia were green hides,, wool, flax and platinum.' Should the proposed embargo on imports of agricultural products be established Russia would have but little to offer to this country, but American business men see in Russia a great field for the exploitation of American products, a field which Great Britain now intends to take possession of with Germany as her only fonnidible opponent. .

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism
Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of!
ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and I finally compounded a prescription that j quickly and completely banished every j
sign and symptom oi rneumaiism irom his system. He freely gave his discovery to others who took it, with what might te called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. A. G. Luken & Company, Three Qulgley Drug Stores and Yes and Now Drug Co. have been appointed agents for Allenrhu in this viciinity with the
understanding that they will freely re-1 turn the purchase money on the first two bottles to all who state they re-; ceived no benefit. Advertisement. j
