Chapter 61. THE NEW IDEA,

There comes a time in any situation T.hen the apparent limit of feeling ' has' been reached. - Ruth had reached this state. And so, though she sat on the porch with tears in her eyes lhat were hot and that hurt, still, the pain was no greater than what she had been carrying about with her for some months. She had come, she felt, to the place where Tim could . not hurt her any more. Except for the fact that the house was physically more comfortable, that there was more to eat and

nicer food except for these little thing her life was so unhappy thf.t a little bit more or less didn't matter. She folded the letter Into a tiny bundle and went out to the kitchen. With a casual air she raised the stove lid and dropped the paper into the fire, watching it flare up, then die into ashy flakes betore she replaced the lid. "It was from Tim, wasn't It?" Mrs. O'Niel asked. "Yes, but he had nothing to say oh, except that he has a new job and a . raise of $20. and that he's sending a friend here for a room." "Nothins! I think that's a lot. $20 , a week!" Mrs. O'Niel paused for a moment, a long spoon ' in her hand. She was "doin?" berries for winter use, cooking while she cooked dinner, to as to save time and coal as well. In such little economics and planning Mrs. O'Niel felt herself supremely efficient and she was. "I wonder if they'll get married now?" she went on, contemplating the long spoon, dripping with the sweet, sticky preserve. "I hope so. They can afford to now." Ruth said this calmly, taking off her hat and smoothing back her dark hair with her band.- "I think I'll have a bath before dinner, mother, if there's hot water enough. I feel as though I had lint sticking to me all over, after a day at the factory." "I don't doubt. Well, there's plenty of water." That was as near as Mrs. O'Niel could get to an expression of sympathy, even with her own daugh- ; ter. But, so the girl should have plen- : ty of time, she delayed the meal and she went upstairs to put out Ruth's ireshest dress, thinking the change miarbt mcke her feel better. But that night Ruth decided to cut the grass, o she came down in her oldest clothes. And when her mother protested that he bad time to keep the place neac the girl only answered thai it kept her form getting Tound-shouldered, since her work made her bend over so much. Ruth, meantime, had picked up ac

quaintanceship with one of the youns ! stenographers in the factory's office, and had made arrangement with her ; to take three lessons in shorthand each week, for $1 a week. But it went j slowly. Ruth had, she found, little ' love for the queer figures she wa 1 taught, though the science of them, I the careful planning so that each j stroke might take as little time as possible, began in time to fascinate ; , her. . . ... The truth was, Ruth was toe tiied i - in the evenings to be able to do much . ' work. And the summer days dragged : along. I "It's a shame," her mother would j often say; "there are only seven even-j ings in a ween, and three of them: you work over those pot-hooks. And the rest of the time you don't go outi

much, and if a man does come and call you give him no encouragement to come again." "I can't talk to most of them!" Ruth protested in sudden anger. 'Mother, we don't speak the same language. I'd rather read a good book to father than sit cn the porch with

Lome silly idiot. All any of thetr. t want to do is to hold hands. And j they haven't an idea in their heads, j any of them. But her father, who overheard this, I

called to her. and Ruth, quieting down at once, went out on the porch, where he sat in his wheel-chiJr. "I don't blame you for the way you feel about these boys and girls of the , town." he said gently. "But after all. Ruth, you can't bury yourself with only your mother and myself for companionship. Being a hermit, is all right for some pecple, but you are not the hermit type. You're young and well. Since for the present there's nothing better in sight, make the best or what you have." "But what have- I?" Ruth asked. "To be sure, there are people who live on large estates near Marketown, who are pretty, intelligent, wideawake.

But they have nothing to do with this I sleepy place. They go to the city for j their ideas, their clothes, their amusements. They've clubs but only for themselves. They wouldn't look at j me. nnless I had a lot of money. j "Well, but think it over. Do what j you can. I'm sure there are boys and t - 2-irls enough here to make up a clubj of some sort for wholesome pleasure.' j Ruth answered nothing. She tried j to fancy some of the young men on! Main street riding Uorsefcack crj t-wingins a golf club. j But the words stuck in her mind, to bear fruit later. j "I'd like to do something o the ; factory end of the town," she said

finally. "There Is work there that ought to he done.. Those girls father, the way they live, the way they talk, the terrible ideas they get when they're only 14 and 15!" . "Well, why not try something there?" This started Ruth to thinking and for a moment she forgot everything else, as little by little the Real Idea grew. Tomorrow The Stranger.

Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes

, SLENDER ANKLES In England they have a process of reducing fat ankles by sweating off the flesh and by massaging very vigorously to break 'up and scatter, the fatty derposits. They also advocate, as some of our beauty parlors here do, wearing snug rubber strappings around the ankles as a means of reduction. Now, do you happen to know that eating too much salt sometimes causes thick ankles? A great many doctors do not even know that. But the best chiropodists do that being part

of their work perhaps. Without going into too many scientific details about it, there are certain little muscles and ligaments running up the back of the ankle which swell when the system has been: fed too much salt. - Take your hand and feel the heel of your bare foot. Now run the fingers up the ankle, pressing in on the soft part between the stiffest ligament and the ankle bone. This part is usually very slender, it "goes in," giving a rim shape to the ankle. This is the part that, according to chiropodists, swells when there is too much salt in the body. Of course salt does not always ac

count for thick ankles. Look at yours and decide whether that little part in the back is slender or fat. Decide whether you eat a great deal of salt or not. Don't in any case, eliminate salt from your food; some is necessary as "well as tasty, only don't over-i do it. If this is not the cause, too much flesh all over the body may be a reason. In that event reduce. Meantime wear high shoes, laced in tight. These will help immensely in making the ankles slender.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with a girl about nine months. We learned to care for - each other dearly, but now everything has changed. She gave mts up about a week ago, but she still says she loves -me. The reason is that her parents object to her going with me. She told me that she would never go with me again

Don't you think that ir sne lovea

Something must be done, for life is dead to me without her. She absolutely won't do a thing. P. S. Do not let the girl's decision embitter you. It is almost impossible

for a young girl to act contrary to the wishes of her parents ; her sense of honor keeps her from carrying on a secret love affair, -"eiaps the girl offered no hope to you because she wanted you to learn to forget, thinking that the sooner you stopped thinking of her the sooner you would have peace of mind. Face your disappointment bravely. Probably every man and woman living has suffered just

as keenly as you are suffering. Disappointment in love seems to be an experience which no one escapes. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl going with a boy 1J years old. 1 think a lot of him and I know be loves me.'. Two ' years ago he joined church and has been trying to be a better boy and do what is right. He told me that before he joined he was pretty, rough. Since he has been trying to be good some girls talk about him. They told me. he was not nice. ; What can be done to keep girls from talking? He says , he feels , badly about it and bas tried hard to show them that' he has changed. The girls still loe and respect me. CURLY HEAD. Tell the girls that you know the boy to be all right and ask them to be Christ-like in their attitude and to gite him a chance to prove himself of good character. In his boyhood days he was probably too young to realize that he was doing wrong, and now his real character is showing itself. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl 17. and just can't make boy friends at all. It seems as though the longer they go with me the worse they

bate me. It seems like one time is, all they care to go with me. I know ; I am young to be thinking about boys' but can't help It. Some girls can go1 steady with fellows but I just can't.' I am not bad looking and am wealthy , and don't have to work but do some

times for pastime. " Is it proper for a fellow; to come in after taking a girl for a ride, if it Is only S o'clock, and if he won't come in, do you think it is because he don't care for her?' I went riding ' several times and we would come home about 9 o'clock and I would ask him in every time, but he never would come. There are several fellows wanting my steady company but I don't care for them. Please advise me what to do. BUTTERFLY. Some people are not endowed with a strong social instinct or capacity. Perhaps you are one. If. however, you try to develop this portion of your nature by watching those who are successfully sociable, you may acquire the knack of having what is commonly termed "a winning personality." This is the thing that makes people love to be in your company. It is natural for a girl of 17 to think about the boys. So don't worry on that score. Don't, however, allow this condition to be your master. It is proper to ask a young gentleman friend into your home if it is but 9 o'clock, providing the young man is discreet enough to know when -to

leave. If he doesn't accept, it may be because of one of many good excuses. His refusal aoes' not always mean he doesn't care for you. ' Don't go with boys whom you do not care for. That would be a poor way to develop your social ability.

Ass .erica's Foremost Food Specialises Crowded Aroaad This Exhibit aft Atlantic City

Don't Say "Bread" Say

FOR inside the tiny vial protected carefully by a heavy inverted globe was represented the first public exhibit of the most precious of the elements of nutrition Vit amines. If modern food scientists were to boil down all their knowledge to a point were they were compelled to single out the one thing all important and vital in nourishment they would say "Vitamines. " For years they have known what Vitamines do, but this is the first time they have separated Vitamines from the other tiny atoms so that people could see them. No wonder the exhibit attracted great attention. Alongside the Vitamine display, was shown the results of Vitamines. In neighboring cages were two white rabbits. Cards told the difference between the two. The one had been fed on ordinary plain food, low in Vitamine content. The other had been fed with additional food rich in Vitamines. The result was amazing. The well-fed rabbit was sleek and big, the other undersize, scrawny and shaggy. The one was the picture of rabbit health; the other dull and lifeless in comparison. The lesson of the exhibit is plain. As with animals, so with humans. Vitamines mean joyous health. The absence of them partial starvation, low vitality, poor memory and dull mentality. The American public has such a wide range of food to choose from that they are apt to feed their appetites instead of their bodies. Vitamines are found only in a few foods in milk and butter and vegetables, grains, yeast and other natural foods. They abound in foods which many people shun. Watch your diet and get your share of Vitamines. The most dependable source of Vitamines is from the milk and grain and yeast thatwgo into "BETSY ROSS." The pure materials are fused by the "BETSY ROSS" process in a perfect manner so that all the rich nourishment is preserved for the well being of its users. "BETSY ROSS" bread three times a day insures a constant supply of Vitamines ...
