The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 29. THE CITY AGAIN. , The truth was that Myra was not making such an enormous sensation in the city as she wanted her family tc believe. And tftat was one reason she wrote tne letters she did to people in Marketown. In order to give an impression she herself was not sure about, she very naturally exaggerated facts. Emily went away that Christmas for a week, to a party out in Long Island. Myra. With a sudden rush of homesickness, boarded a night train, changed early in the morning at a junction, and arrived In Marketown !n time to surprise her family and to have a late breakfast with them. She

have guests there's always the bearskin rug, it makes a good bed." But one day when Emily was out, Myra was lying down in her room. The door was open, the apartment was small. Gabriolle was serving tea to a couple of callers in the living room. Myra recognized their voices both men. both friends of Emily's. She had often danced with them. "You're no more an intruder here than the little cousin," one voice said. "At least Gaby you're out of a job. That young thing has no need for such continuous hospitality." "But she's rather nice. don"t you think?" Gabrielle's voice asked. "Yes, nice enough. An awful baby 19, isn't she? She doesn't know

anything. She hasn't enough brains

nated, and a great deal of lingerie, once Emily's and quite unsuited to her. The first day her small brother took a violent dislike to her "city airs." The second she was improved; by the third day her old surroundings had brought her back completely to her old self. It was this sweet, simple self that Ruth found when she went to see her the day after Christmas. Somehow, one could not be supercilious in contact with Ruth's life and work! Myra did not know what did it. but it was the tragedy she faced there that sobered her and gave her back her own sincerity. But this did not last, either. Myra went back to the city after New Years, and in three hours fell again into her reflection of Emily's ways. Myra was that sort pretty as could be, but always dominated by companions. Her mother had announced that she did not quite like the effect of the city upon the girl, and that at the end of the winter she must come home and stay. Myra decided that she would avoid this by taking up some course of study in the spring, which would keep her in town all summer, and by fall 6he did not think that far ahead. Meantime, Emily was good natured about her presence. Emily, indeed, was too good natured to think whether or not she wanted the girl. Myra

seemed to be having a heaven! j tune, 6he was no trouble to the easy-going hostess so why not have her stay on? Myra stayed. And the winter slipped on. Then something happened that gave Myra an object. Gabrielle Cartzek had been playing In a revue where beautiful girls and beautiful costumes were relied upon for popularity. Gabrielle's very stun ning looks got her the position a small part, which, however paid her a salary of $100 a week,. She was understudy to the star; but when the star was taken ill, the place was given not to Gabrielle, but to another member of the company. Gabrielle, Lav ins acquired the actress temperament, if nothing else, promptly resigned and was furious because her resignation was accepted. Meantime, she was out of a position, and out of funds, and Emily had cheerfully taken her in.

"You can sleep on the living room

a man of her own." "Yes, Emily's always wanting us to 'bring another man for Myra, " the second masculine voice took it up. "Which has nothing to do with sleeping on the couch, where I am perfectly comfortable," Gabrielle said, and so closed the subject. An hour later, when they were gone and Emily had come back for her "beauty bath," Gabrielle went back to Myra's room.

The door was closed then and Myra was apparently asleep on her bed. But she had heard. And she resolved to attract one man, at least enough to have him devoted to her exclusively. Emily had half a dozen. She wondered why. She was prettier than Emily and younger. It never occurred to her that Emily had magnetism, and that she lacked it. All the men were so much older for 19 thinks 35 quite ancient. There was only Tim Tim who was near her own age, who liked being asked to parties, who looked well, and who was plainly popular with these older men. Tim was more or less in love with Ruth, and Ruth more or less in love with him! But if it were serious.

Myra argued, Ruth would have been engaged to Tim before he left so it could not be serious, or Ruth would have told her about it. Thus convincing herself of a thing she wanted to believe, Myra made a solemn vow She would make Tim fall in love with her, and propose to her, and be devoted to her, before the spring came. With that in mind, she went to the telephone and called his boarding house. She asked him up for the evening the other two were going to a 6how. She would decline and have Tim alone. "May 1 borrow your blue dress?" she askod Emily before dinner. (Tomorrow Trails).

Dirt is frequently rubbed into the sttri around the mouth and at the back of the neck and it Is necessary to use unusually thorough means to keep these parts clean. Belle As you have just been ill and your hair is still suffering from it, I think that one of the best things you could do would be to have several inches cut from the ends of the hair.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thnmnenn: T am 22 and

pretty. I also wear pretty clothes. But! I don't seem to attract men. I suppose I am doomed to be an old maid. What can I do to make myse'f inter-; esting and talkative? MARIAN, j Do not be conceited about your j looks. People are very charitable:

about their own appearance and very often they credit themselves with attractiveness which is not noticeable to others. To be interesting a person mast be interested. Busy yourself until you become really absorbed in the thing you are doing, A busy person who i3 well-read is usually very interesting. " 0 - Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a widof,60 years old. My husband died several years ago, leaving me with seven children. They are all grown and have left me. There is a bachelor friend who has paid attention to me ever since I was left alone. But my children object to my marrying him for fear he will get my money. I could live with my son, but his wife leaves too much of the work for me to do. Shall I marry my friend or live alone? MOLLIE. You will have to decide such a prob-, lem for yourself. Consider the char

acter of the man and decide whether i or not he is marrying you for love of j you or because he wants a home and ;

some one to care for him. Is he indus-1 trious? Is he considerate of you Ori is he a selfish, indolent man? I You will be far happier alone than j married to a man who takes you for

selfish reasons and lets you support

and care for him. Look into the man s life record before you decide.

ARMS The best "How can beautiful?"

CISE." The arms are usually fat or thin according to the weight of the body. If you have ever been to a country fair where the man with the patent scales offered to refund your money if he could not guess your weight, you will remember that he took hold of your arm before he told you what he thought you weighed. This is because the arm is supposed to be an index of the weight of the body.

But arms that are just fleshy enough may not be beautiful. Sometimes the forearm is better developed than the upper arm. Sometimes the upper arm is round enough, but the forearm too thin. Sometimes the arm is just badly shaped. In any case, exercise will give a roundness and firmness that will mean greater beauty. The best exercise, and one of the simplest and easiest as well, consists in tensing the muscles of the arms and pulling against an imaginary weight. Stand erect with the arms held straight in front of you and draw them back slowly so the hands touch the shoulders, as thoueh you were rowing a boat or trying to pull a very heavy weight. In other words resist yourself. Tense all those muscles in the arms and pull back very slowly and repeat a couple of dozen times. Helen A good honey almond cream

contain too much alkali, which is very

injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get Mulsified at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle'. Besides, ir loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. Advertisement.
