The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

to go to New York. Ruth to study in a business Fchool in order to make a good salary later; Myra to study anything she fancies. But the money to tid Ruth must be used to take her sick father South. Myra goes; Ruth, deprived of this chance to earn a good income, stays home. Tim Turner, who had. always been in love with her, asks her to marry him. She refuses for a time, fcs they have no money. He goes to the city to earn a living for her. There he falls in love with Myra, a natural result of his loneliness in a ft range town and Myra's prettiness. Ruth is heartbroken deprived of a chance to earn, now of her chance to love and be happy. Tangley "Williams, from the city, takes up his home in her town, and she meets him. But just as she begins to like him, his work calls him away. Meantime, Tim and Myra have married.

Chapter 61. Tanrley Williams went away with cordial friendly hand shake. And Ruth went on with her work and her reading, conscious that her mother was bitterly disappointed. But the onlv thing that was said was I did think he might be a little in love," This was by her mother. "N'ot a bit neither he nor I. And. after all, Mother, I have so much work F want to do that being in love would only interfere." And her mother said nothing more. Kvcry week or so a short, letter would come from Iangley, telling the work he was doing, and offering ideas as to things Ruth might do. And so that long winter passed. Tt is necessary to give only a short account of it, though a great deal really happened. Ruth grew nervously tired of the office where so little happened, so the began making a personal investigation of all the houses her employed handled, and rhe made a list of necessary improvements. This took her into the factory district tgain. where she came in contact ith the factory workers' families not as a "social worker," but only as the person to whom they paid rent. And thus she came into a great deal of knowledge, especially among the poorer ones or the shiftless ones, where rent paving was a hardship and where the money was not always available. The general conditions she found shocked and depressed her. Every house complied with the state rules p.s to lieht and sanitation, it was the

lack of beauty rather than the lack of

cleanliness that depressed her. Her ideas about a children's playground were turned down by the

mayor of the little town. Upon this, Ruth became stubborn. She formed a Civic Committee in her own club, went the rounds of the town's wealthiest

inen. and eot tbem to join it.

"By which simple method," one of the club members explained, "she got the very best, people of the town into .he club. It's an important organiza

tion now." So though the city officials had ignored her plans, when it came to a

vote, the Civic Committee used , enr.uth influence to put. the question of

rlay-grounds on the ballot, and they

were voted for.

That was her second triumph the first being the tentative plan for a safe playground for factory children. In the end of the winter, the Club grown now to the place where those who were not members were all anxious to Join purchased an old farm a mile from the town, and made themselves a country club, too. Ruth, who had been president of the first group, was now made secretary and handled the really large amount of work conrected with forming the permanent club, doing up .the club house, and working for new reforms. "I've had my whole life taken from

me," she told her father one night as J

she sat by his bed for he was in bed most of the time now. "So the only thing to do is to make a new life." One day she called a meeting of the Civic Committee. "There's no reason why we can't buy up the Main Street Playground, and make it a permanent affair,' she said. "And in the evenings in summer have band concerts there. We've a band in town that plays for our dances': we can hire it, or we can get up amateur orchestra from the town people who can play." And this, too, was voted on but not until there had been weeks of delay and discouragement. For all big things come slowly. One day she tramped far out over the fields beyond the town, over the

And one day, walking over this un

interesting land, she had the very biggest idea of all an idea so big that

It took her weeks of thinking before she believed in its possibilities.

And then she wrote about it in de

tail to Langley.

So the winter wore along, the cold

weather turned milder, and March came and was almost over. Ruth was

enormously busy and only happy when she was busy. A social life was growing up in tfie town, and Ruth was its centre. She danced every few weeks in the now much worn gray chiffon dress, and she wore the now shabby blue suit to her office, and at home, the wash

dresses her mother made. The club, voted her a salary for her work, and

the extra money was badly needed. 'TU be rich , yet," she told her mother when the increase made its appearance. , "You'd better be settling down and marrying someone," was the response to this.. "But I don't like any of these MarUetown boys - " "If you want to be an old maid, of course!" Mrs. cyNeil said it almost viciously. "But your Father and I could manage with the house if you did marry, and I'd like to see you settled." Ruth turned away.- There was no understanding' from her mother. And one day she overheard a girl in the club say "Well, of course she does all the work, but none of the boys like her much. Men don't like the dreadfully efficient women, do they?" And Ruth felt more alone than ever alone with her dreams, her disappointments, her ambitions. Tomorrow With the Spring.

AIRING THE SCALP. Does every woman recognize the great necessity of properly airing the scalp? I often wonder about that when I see the way in which women keep their hats on to such an unnecessary degree. How often does the average woman shake out her hair and air the scalp? I don't believe she does it more than once a day, when she takes her hair down at bed time. Of course the scalp is aired to an extent every time the hair is brushed, a process that takes place anywhere from twice a day to half a dozen limes, depending upon the docility of the hair! But this casual sort of airing is not enough. If you possibly can. go out doors in the sun, let the hair hang, and part it so the sunshine can reach the scalp. Part it first in one place then another, so the warmth can pent-Irate to the very roots of the hair. It will feel wonderfully invigorating. Let the sun get to the parts of the hair not usually exposed, That is, if you comb your hair back from the face, the outside part of the hair wilJ normally have air and sun enough, inside it will be darker, oily, perhaps, and when the hair begins to turn gray, the inside part will be apt to turn first So when you air the scalp and sun the hair, brush it in an unaccustomed fashion. And even when you do not give it such an elaborate airing, shake the hair out morning and evening, run the fingers through it and give the scalp a quick message. Helen P. If you send an addressed stamped envelope, I shall be pleased to mail you full directions on restoring your hair. You can remove the dandrufT temporarily by rubbing the yolk of an egg into the scalp, before shampooing the head. Allow it plenty of time to come dry, before washing it out of the hair. Goldie You should weigh about 120 pounds. Buttermilk will be all right and the bran bread also. Avoid starchy food, fats and sweets. Eat plenty of green vegetables, fish, oysters and clams. Miss Maud If you will send an addressed stamped envelope, I shall be

pleased to mail you a formula for a tonic that is very good for hair that is turning gray. I feel it must be an attraction, just as it is, if you knew

belongings, mention ihe fact to him.1 But if you were searching for trouble , when he did not know it, I would ad-! vise you to forget about the evidence as nearly as possible. If your husband was intimate with another woman, he' was dishonest. And if you were ' secretly going through your husband's , belongings you were dishonest. ! Make as light of the matter as possi-' ble, because a "scene" will not increase your husband's love and respect for you.

Brush teeth for ten days in this new way. We supply the test. See and feel the good effects. Compare them with the old ways. It will be a pleasant test. And it may bring to you. as it has to millions, a new conception of clean teeth. Whiter teeth One great object is to fight the film that viscous film yon fecL It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. Old brushing methods do not effectively combat it Much is left intact, forming a dingy coat. And most tooth troubles are now traced to it. Film is what discolors, not the teeth. It forms the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

Fight it daily

Dental science has found two methods to effectively fight film. Many careful tests have proved them. Leading dentists everywhere now advise their daily use.

Both are1 combined in a tooth paste called Pepsodent a scientific product. And to millions of people it is bringing whiter, cleaner, safer teeth. Acts like fruit acids Pepsodent also brings three other effects, such as fruit acids would bring. It brings them regularly and at proper times. It multiplies the salivary flow Nature's great tooth-protecting agent It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits tht cling. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize mouth acids which cause tooth decay. Modern diet, rich in starch, makes these things essential Quickly seen The effects are quick and apparent No one can doubt the benefits when they are explained. " Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube.
