The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 51.

GREAT PLANS. The change in position had hap 'pened quite suddenly. Ruth found herself literally left in charge of a tiny office, with little work and most of the day to herself. Mr. Vance, the real estate man, spent nearly all his time away, sometimes in pursuit of hist work, more often at a nearby pool room. Langley Williams had been in Marketown two weeks. The day after he arrived Ruth had seen him, and decided to change her position, as she did not want to meet him in the factory. She hated the work, too, and when, two days later, she beard that Mr. Vance needed someone in the office, she went down promptly for the place. She wore the simple little serge suit that her aunt had bought her that spring, and the plain little wmfst that went with it, and felt her pelf to be quite smart and business-like in appearance. Her leisure she employed in practicing on the typewriter and making speed in shorthand. She was reading up all articles on business efficiency that she could find. "And perhaps when I get experience here I can go to tho city and apply for a place," she said. "$10 a week is very high for Marketown. I could double that if I could be private secretary to a man in a big city firm." Her mother said nothing to this. The big house was well run. Trust Mrs. O'Niel for efaciency there! But the more people it held, the greater were its expenses. Ruth was ready to sweaT that the furnace gorged coal in an uncanny manner, the bins needed contant re-filling. And bed linen would wear out. towels developed strange rents, table cloths had to be purchased. As Mrs. O'Niel said, they "got along." and that was about all. All except that there was always a good table at home now, plenty of heat, plenty of hot water. But Mr. O'Niel growing daily more helpless, as his troubles ran its natural course, became a greater and greater expense. Medicines and doctor's should be classed as luxuries, Ruth decided. So, with taxes and repairs nd the thousand and one things that came up, the bank account kept even and that was all. Langley Williams called on the evening already agreed upon. But he took an instant fancy to Duncan O'Niel, and the two men spent most of the evening together talking books and travel. "You've been everywhere," Duncan said. "But you've read all about It, and know more concerning the places I've seen than I do," Williams answered. And Ruth felt, somehow, that she was nothing more than a small child permitted to sit and listen to the grown-up's conversation. Langley Williams paid only polite attention to her. He came in again, one evening when she had gone to Mrs. Weed's an intermitten friendship existed there. He came again, when she was taking her shorthand lesson she still kept these up. He knew the evenings when she was not at home, and he always seemed to call then. Ruth decided Langley Williams did not like her. But it did not worry her. "I've no time for men, for flirtations, or marriage, or anything like that," she told her mother. "I've a career to make, and every possible handicap to overcome. Bait I'll ba a successful business woman yet. Only it leaves me no time to think of romance." "You just wait, dearie," little Mrs. Belding put in, from hr place by tho kitchen table. So Ruth, as Mrs. Belding said,

"waited" without knowing what she was waiting for. Meantime she made a decision. "Mother," she said one day, while she was helping with the dinner dishes, "It's awfully silly for me to go on as I am. I have no social life at all. I never meet anyone interesting. I haven't heard a new idea for months, not since I've been in the citj. There's the new Mr. Wililams, of course, but he doesn't like me." "Well, what are you going to do?" Her mother seemed interested, and Ruth went on "I'm going to try some sort of social work among the poor people here as I did at the factory, and I'm going to get up a club for the girls and boys my age, so that we can have good times, and learn new things." The idea for all this had been in the girl's mind for many weeks. She talked it over with Mrs. Weed, and

with a few others, and after a time, the result was "The Town Club." This was the old set that Myra and Ruth and Tim had known from childhood, boys and girls from 19 to 25. And as It la always easy to form clubs among people, and as there was no club for social activities In Markertown this one became a great success. Meetings were held around at various houses, and a grand inaugural dance was given in the High School gymnasium. Ruth spent much of her leisure on this. Applications came - in from all sides, but they tried to limit it -to the most congenial people they knew. A"d the night before the d&nce, Ruth received a short note, which flattered and pleased her. It said: "Am I to have the honor of taking the club's founder to the club's first dance?" And It was signed "Langley Williams." "That's the first I knew he had noticed me," she commented. "Oh, you just wait, dearie!" little Mrs. Belding put in. Monday A surprise.

Should I write and ask him

A WORRIED GIRL, should write and ask

I think you

for the ring. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl nearly seventeen. I have a stepfather and he is very cruel to me. I have no girl friends and I go with my brother's boy friend. He is very good to me. Father does not want me to go out with him, although my brother and I know him to be good. Father l as told me to get out of the hou.e five or six times. Should I go or not? LONESOME. Your father is justified in objecting to your going places with your brother's friend. You are really too young to "go with boys." It is a great pity, however, that you have no girl friends. I think you should try to make friends with girls. If your father is very cruel, and if your mother thinks best, 1 would adise you to get wo'k with some good family. You could probably find a place where you would be taken in as one of the family. You are too young, Vowever, to think of office work.

"Ijouise R.": I presume that by this lime you have found an answer to your firs, letter, which was printed in the column. I am very sorry to hear about your mother's condition and feel the deep

est sympathy for her because she doesi not hear from your brother. Try to j be comforted with the thought that her !

suffering will not last. long, and trust That to her at least the mystery about your brother will be cleared when she tosses out of your li-es into a better iife. Keep a brave heart end do your best. 'Vhen your father sees your effort he will try too. Do not shoulder your

burden alone, but let your little brothers help in every waj they can. i They will be better men if they are not spoiled as boys.

number of members it has had in recent years. The number of memberships taken out total 185, but the actual number of members is only 150. The difference is due to the fact that several persons have taken out several memberships, which entitles them to invite guests to the annual dinner and other social functions of the association, one guest for each extra membership.

GUESSING Is Dangerous!

A great deal of thought, investigation and care are usually (and should always) be taken in the selection of an article which in any way affects the safety, Comfort or home life of the family. People today demand more than the assurance from a silver-tongued salesman that his goods will satisfy all their requirements. They demand the supreme test, and that is TIME. It is claimed of one automobile that it "made good in a day." but had it not been able to stand the drastic and impartial test of time and received its stamp of approval it would soon have been forgotten. During fifty years the prestige of Starr-made musical instruments has been graven deeply in musical history by the chisel of superiority. For your protection, time has placed her stamp of approval on Starr-made instruments, and nothing is left for you to guess at. You need never take a chance in buying a musical instrument. Buy a Starr-made one and you have the satisfaction of know in? that you have done your full duty toward your family. It will satisfy; "it will measure up to the ideal each member holds for a musical instrument.
