The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 7. THE REAL MYRA . "How long are you going; to stay?" Gabrielle had asked, as she and Rath walked home from the matinee. "I was to have stayed another week", Ruth told her. "Bat I've had to spend more money than I expected." "You always do," G&by Interrupted cheerfully. "So I thought I'd pay only half a week's board, and go back Sunday. I have enough for my ticket, and after paying the board, I'll have about $1.50. That's enough, for I walk most places." "A dollar and a half!"" Gaby threw up her hands with a comical gesture. "Child, you make me ashamed of my-f-elf. Here I go spending more than a hundred times that for a few yards of brocade made into a dress. Lok hrc, never mind paying your board bill. Move your things to our flat, and Ftay out the full week or longer if you want. At least let me do that for you." So that was how Ruth found herself temporarily a member of the little household. And during that week she felt she had learned more than all the rest of her life. At least, she learned more about Myra or perhaps, she had never known Myra at all or perhaps this Myra was a new creature. The first thing she did as to clean ihe' little place rather better than it had been done for some time. This happened one morning when Gaby had gone out at 9. called to a special rehearsal, and while Myra in her little room was sound asleep. Then Ruth laundered her clothes, mussed and soiled from the trip. Often the and Gaby amused themselves cooking. Gaby was having an economical streak this particular week, and refused to go out for meals. And since 'Ruth delighted so in theatres, the little actress "pulled wires" as she expressed it, and sent her guest to several of the popular shows, where she had friends in the cast. So in this way Ruth managed to spend several evenings out for Tim came . in the evenings, and Ruth still felt she could not see him with Myra. The week passed swiftly enough. Ruth usually was first up, at 9 an unheard-of-late hour for sleeping she usually arose fro early. She had put fcway her covers and ftraightened the living room and had the light breakfast ready when Gaby awoke. "It's such a luxury to have someone get breakfast." the actress always said gratefully, as she curled up in a corner of the sofa and poured her coffee. Gaby usually was dressed and out before Myra stirred 11 o'clock was ihe usual hour for this youns lady. Twice a week she had singing lessons, iind she practiced faithfully an hour or so every day at the small piano. And ihat was all she ever did. except such housework as was left over for her. "You're fo energetic." sh said one morning as. kimono clad, she sat f ating her noon breakfast. Ruth, a book in her lap. was sitting on the other end of the sofa. "Are you going back to Marketown to teach singing this summer?" Ruth a.ked curiously. , Tm never going back. I told Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man 21 years of age. and have been going with a young lady of the same aee. We were ensraged to be married when I met another girl and found out that I cared more for her. Now I am at a loss to know what would be the better way, to go and tell her just how I feel, or just stay away? DOUBTFUL L. R. E. I would advise you to tell the girl how you feel and ask her to release you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been writing to a boy at a navy yard. He seems to be a very nice young man, but I know nothing of him or his people. How can I find out what he is? Do you think that I could find out about him through the navy department? If so, to whom should I write? BLUE EYES. The best way will be to judge the young man by his letters. Let your parents read them, too, and pa3s their judgment. He will betray his character in what he writes. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man and would like to know if it would be proper for me to write a friendly note to a young lady and ask her for permission to call on her. We were schoolmates several years ago, but have not had a conversation since. If it is all right to write a note, had I better find out if she has a regular caller or not? THANK YOU. It would be all right to write to the young lady and ask her permission to call. Do not question her about any other callers. If she is betrothed, she will probably tell you so, and if she is not, there is no reason why you should not call, too, even if she has other callers. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a married man and try my best to satisfy my wife. I work every day and do everything she asks me to do. I take her everywhere she wants to go. I beg and do my best to get her to stay home once in a while, but I cannot. She threatens to leave me just because I don't believe in dancing. Please advise me. I am very dissatisfied with my life. C. H. S. In order for a married couple to be happy, sacrifices are necessary on the part of both husband and wife. Your wife should not expect you to take her somewhere every night, but if she want3 'to go once or twice a week, you ought to take her. Perhaps it would help to talk the matter over and come to an understanding about the number of nights a week you will go out together and the number you will spend at home. Some men do not realize that housework grows monotonous to a woman and she enjoys a change. On the other hand some women forget that their husbands have no chance to rest during the day and are tired by night.

mother that as an excuse Myra yawned a little, feeling the coffee pot to test its heat. "She wouldn't have let me stay if I hadn't done something, and singing lessons are easiest. Besides, I might go on the stage." Her manner implied that several managers were ready to engage her at once. "Bet this summer the city is hot and your family want to see you." "Let them want!" Myra shrugsed an indifferent shoulder. "It's stupid at home. I'm bored to death. It's stupid enough here in this little hole. It isn't like Emily's place." "But Gaby says she's going away this summer. youH be alone. She says she's going to Canada to join a stock comnany and study." "Oh, Gaby is as energetic as you. All you people make nie tired. You're always doing something, and trying to get soirfewhere! Why can't you take life as you find it?" Ituth thought a moment. "I oan't because I find it impossible as it is I mean being poor, and having nothing. And Gaby has to support herself too, so she has to be energetic." Ruth was almost apologizing for her ambition. "Well, if she goes and I'm alone. don't know what I'll do. But I won't go home, that's settled. Maybe I'll get in the chorus of one of the summer shows. Maybe, if I don't do that, I'll get married." Ruth fairlyi gasped at this. Getting married to relieve a condition of boredom was a novel idea marriage as an indifferent alternative. to a small position was something approaching a "How you talk of it!" she said. "You're you don't seem to care much. Aren't you in love with Tim?" "Of course. Let anyone try to get him away and they'll fee!" Myra was wide awake now. "But what is the difference whether I marry him now, or" this summer, or next year?" Ruth was silent She could not nuite put into words what she thought the difference was. After all. the big thing was to possess Tim's love, and Myra had that. But somehow to value a life with him so little that, one undertook it when parties grew scarce, and people went out of town Ruth frowned in perplexity. She could not understand this point of view. Something, she fell, had died in Myra. Love had brought her no spiritual uplift, as novels always said it should. Instead, it seemed to have made her smug, satisfied. Ruth could not understand what it was. But Myra was happy and Ruth, full of her n'pr.s. ambitions, struggles, w-as not. Which was, after all, the best way? Tomorrow A Lost Chance. WEST MANCHESTER, O.
