The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 46. ' i ' MORE PLANS The following morning Ruth got up and dressed very carefully- In spite of the fact that it was long after 2 o'clock when ' she was taken home, and at least 3 when she fell asleep, she did not, feel tired. There was a natural pink in her cheeks as she combed her hair, trying a more modish fashion than the one she usually used. " . The new way made her hat more becoming and, of course, her new suit wa3 a delight. She thought she looked very well when she was ready finally for the luncheon. She put the borrowed gray chiffon dress and the cape In the bag Gaby had loaned her, and walked over to Hie little apartment She had, of course, overslept the boarding house breakfast hour, bo she Indulged in a cup of hot coffee while she was walking across the city. She felt quite extravagant, though the coffee cost only five cents. But Rath hart handled so few nickels in her life that everyone was

precious to ber. It was noou when she arrived. Gaby, in a unart little blue serge street dress, let her in. "You needn't have bothered to return the dress," she said. "I want to give ii to you, it's so becoming to you." "Bui " "Oh, it's mine as much as Myra's. Emily gnve us all her things and told ns to fijht it out between us how we fcbo-ili '!.vide. I look hideous in gray, st I never wore that. Myra look3 well in it, but the lines of the skirt make her too fat. She's going to have a huge figure if she isn't careful." She hurried abcut as she talked. The apartment was in great confu-Eio,-i, and Ruth had a sudden desire 10 straighten it up. Cigarette etubs filled every receptacle, and ashes covered the carpet. There were plates left unwashed, and the little tea table was set for breakfast, with soma dishes still upon it. Gaby took a fos scarf from the sofa, found a pair of white gloves after a search through fcur drawers, and picked up her hand-

tag from ofT the table. "I cleaned up some of the moss this morning," she announced, as she rescued her veil from the floor. i She opened the door on the way out, and called: "Lazy bones! Get up, it's half past twelve. You'll have to do the rest of the work. I did a lot. I left the eeffoe on the stove." There was no sound from the room Tvhere Myra slept, so Gaby closed the door and the two went out. Ruth tried to thank her, shyly and awkwardly, for the wonderful gray gown. "I have to walk three miles a day to keep myself limber." Gabrielle said as they reached the street. "But this is a matinea day, so we'll only do one, then lunch." And presently they found themselves seated at a tiny table by the window of a smart hotel. Ruth had never seen such a place. The orchestra, playing far off in a corner, the palms, the gilt, the perfume in the air, the chatter and .the beautifully dressed women, made her eyes round , with wonder. Gaby ordered, and evidently felt much at home in the place. She nodded at several people present, and Fave Rvth amusing descriptions ot them. Many of them were well known. Ruth had read their names even in

the local paper at home. The majority were theatrical people, but not all. "Mr. Jordan likes you a lot." she said, while they were eating dessert "You see, it isn't often a girl like you drifts into this mad circle. We work hard, we people on the stage. It's a dog's lifel I would try to get you in if you wanted, but it's hard, if you've no experience. Have you a good voice, and can you dance?" "Not a very good voice, and I can only dance oh, as we do at homeBesides, I have ' no inclination to go on the stage. All I can do Ls well, serious things, things where reading would help." "Oh, yes, you'll belong to the intel

lectual crowd. Well, that's outside

my sphere." Gaby tucked some hair

under her hat and tried to look more frivolous than she was. "If you wanted to go on the stage and stuck around long enough you'd make it even without experience." Then Ruth told Gaby she wanted a business training. Bo that she could find a well paying position. "Of course you might take a small job, anything, even at $9 or $10 a week in a department store. You could live with us, and sleep on the sofa in the living room, and spend your money polng to night school. Then you'd get your training." Ruth was almost taken back by the generosity of this little black haired, black eyed chorus girl. Gaby opened her heart and her home, she was willing to give her half her own Balary. in her sudden eagerness to befriend this girl. "I like you, and I think you might let me do something for you," she begged. "After all, I'm the only girl

I know who works, that is who is not doing something. Every girl in our company is supporting, or at least helping to support, someone. I only spend my money on expensive clothes I tire of in a week."

She paid the bill. It seemed huge to Ruth and they went out What a queer mixture she was with her sudden economies, her wild extravagances, her practical common sense and her frivolity! Roth looked at her with gratitude and admiration, as they stood on Broadway waiting for a gap in the traffic. Then her companion turned her over to an usher in the theatre, and ran away, promising to meet her when 1he show was over. And Ruth, sitting back in a chair in one of the boxes, gazed rapturously at the first big levue she had ever seen. For the moment, she was perfectly happy. Tomorrow "The Real Myra."

love of her, but I do not think she should keep' it a secret. i

WONDERING. I cannot understand why the young lady refuses to let you kiss her. Since you are betrothed it would be all right to do bo. Probably she loves you or she would not consent to marry you. The difference in your ages is not too great .' - Yes, I would advise . you to mention the fact that vou know of her former marriage. Tell her that it is not going to make the least difference in your regard for her, but that you feel you and she will be happier together if you are frank and do not keep secrets from each other. Dear Mrs. Thompson: There are a couple of us girls who were good chums until we met a young man, 17 years old. My chum is 14 and I am 17. We often have disputes over him He seems to care lots for both of us. But the girl would tell anything to break our friendship and she is try ing now. 1 really believe he thinks what she says is true. Do you think I should give up his friendship and not correspond with him. TROUBLESOME. There is no need of you breaking your correspondence because of your friend's action.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am in love with a young man whom I have known for nine years. We were school

mates. We started corresponding about two years ago. He is awfully jealous of me and I am of him. Last summer we had an argument and broke up. He left town to work. About three weeks after he left he wrote and told me that he would not have left if we hadn't fallen out. Then I answered and we have been corresponding ever since. I am acquainted with his mother

and sisters. They seem to like me and invite me out to see them often. Every time he comes home he make3 it his business to see me before he leaves. Everytime he comes he says ho is coming to me to stay soon. Do you think that some one else la keeping him away? A boy friend of his told me that he was going with another girl. He says that I am the

only girl he loves. Other young men have tried to correspond, but I cannot find any interest in anyone else. I have not been happy since he has been away. Please give me some advice. CUPIE. If you have asked the young man

if there is another girl, and he has denied it, I would advise you to trust him. I do not think it would be a wise plan, however, to drop all other friends until you are engaged. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last Christmas I became engaged to a young lady. She refuses to allow me to kiss her. What could be her reason?

Would you say that she does not love me? I am 28 and she is 25. 13 the differ ence in our ages too great? I have learned that she is a widow. She has never mentioned this. Should I? It really makes no difference in my
