The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter. 70 J

THE DEAD Uh NIUMi. At first Ruth felt a little badly at refusing the invitations from the much nought-after Van Zyl's and their friends from the big estates near Marketown. But after a while she realized that her present work was taking so much of her time that she had little enough left over to give to social functions "I can only spare two1 evenings a week, not always that," she told Langley once. They were watching the concrete work for a new factory that was to go up, and Ruth had come out to the new town in her hired car. "The evenings I'm studying law I end up by reading to Father you see I set home early and he's always awake. Sunday evenings I go to bed early, so as to be fresh for the new week. That only leaves me two to play in, and if I spend them running about with that rich crowd, my old friends here v. ill say I'm a snob and that I'm cutting them." Langley grinned a little. ' Do you like the members of the Town Club so much as all that?" The girl looked at him seriously. 'A few of them," she remarked. "There are some Jane, and Robbie, and the Perkins and Mrs. Anderson, that like the things we do. Of course most cf them only care for dancing and cards and flirting Langley, have you seen about the plans for the water system I meant to ask you yesterday " Quite forgetting her talk about frivolous things, she plunged into a discussion over the new water system. It was not to be led into the river at the point named, she insisted, for that brought it above a certain village which depended on the river for its drinking water. It costs thousands more your way, which of course is the only safe way," Langley agreed. "111 get hold of a couple of the men tonight, Thompson and Reed, probably. But you know how they're for holding down costs. You can get more out of these politicians than I can, or anyone else in this town." "Oh, no!" Ruth felt embarrassed at th wmnHment. She was sure she

had not done anything worth noting i yet why should anyone say she had j

a great deal of influence wun mi political leaders? So the winter days passed, while she worked hard trom early morning until dinner time. But no evening went by without a visit to the sick room where her father lay. Th trained nurse was there all the

time now, Mrs. O'Neil. with an eye i

to arrowing expenses, oiscnargea uie maid Ruth had hired and took over nf mnrp the entire work of the big

house. And though Ruth's salary was j

considered enormous ror mat penou and for so small a town, somehow it never did mere than barely cover expenses. Duncan O'Neil grew so much weaker that night attendance was needed. The nurse slept then, ready to be called if anything should go wrong, and Ruth and her mother divided the night. The girl insisted that she be allowed to do this, though her health and her work suffered because of the extra strain. VK what it amounted to mostly was hitting alone, reading by a low light, or simply being quiet, and watching the little figure in the bed. One February night, she "came on duty," as she called it, at midnight. She had given up her law studies and slept early in the evenings, then at 3 she went back to bed and slept until breakfast time, her mother relieving her. She could not read that night. She sat listening to the strange little sounds that any old house seems to make at night creaks and squeakings, noises in the wall, a slight, tiistant rattle the whole effect a little eerie. She thought back over the last three or four years the careless days at school, wrUi lessons that were easy to get, and a pleasure to learn, and with long hours reading and talking to her father. In comparison, he seemed well and strong in those tiays. She thought of the plans she and Myra had, how she was to go to the city, and take a business course, and 'learn to be competent." as she expressed it. She was to get a position, and send money home, she was to send money home, she was to make a real

business career for herself. She remembered how Myra had gone, and how she had wasted her time and her father's money. She remembered with a pang in her heart the old days with Tim, the parties with their friends, the growing love, the night he had first told her he cared for her. She thought of the parting when he went away to the city to make money for her, and the tears ran down her cheeks as she thought about it. She remembered Myra's clever, cute

little tricks, and how she had felt when she knew Tim was lost to her because all along she had had no

chance to make anything of herself. Then she began thinking of the

things she had built up at borne the

rew life, the chances she made for herself, untrained though she was. She was gaining her career at home, a better one than the city afforded. But she had lost the dearest thing in life and that. was love. . Probably she would grow rich trom her work in this new scheme, but what was the 'use? Her father was dying, and what did she want with a lot of money? The figure stirred in the bed. "Ruth," Duncan O'Niel's vole called gently. "Yes." The girl went to the bed and took the man's hand. Her heart contracted suddenly. She almost knew what was to come now, in the dead of the night. Tomorrow Sentiment.

There are some beauty treatments so easy to take, that I wonder whether it would not be a good idea for every girl who feels the need of these to make a regular daily schedule and to follow it faithfully. I do not mean to suggest anything long and elaborate most of us are too busy to take time for anything complicated, even if we had the inclination. I want to suggest a few things that take almost no time at all, but whose benefits will be felt for years. Here's a schedule that won't take more than five or ten minutes a day. It means a cleaner skin, thicker and more beautiful hair, longer lashes, and youthful finger nails. No woman possessing these four points of beauty would ever be entirely homely! When going to bed, first take down the hair and shake it out, giving th6 scalp a quick vigorous massage. Every other night, use hair tonic and let the massage extend over three minutes. Roll the hair back, cover the face with cold cream, massage with a quick, light motion, going over the forehead, around and under" the eyes to the nose, up from the chin to the ears. This process may take two or three minutes you can time yourself on these treatments if yo wish. Wipe off the cream with a soft cloth. Now rub a special cuticle cream into the nails I have a formula if you wish it.' Then rub either the eyelash tonic or a vegetable oil into the eyelashes and the brows if the eyebrows need stimulating. Let this cream or tonic stay on, to be absorbed while you sleep. And that is all ten minutes at most to stimulate and nourish hair, complexion, lashes and hands. Mrs. R. A. E. If you will send an addressed stamped envelope, I shall be pleased to send you the formula for the hair tonic. To reduce the size of the pores on your nose, you must cleanse them first, by using hot moist cloths, which should be followed by a massage of cold cream. Cold water or ice will contract them, but it will take many such treatments. Anxious Red vaseline applied to the roots of the lashes will help them grow. It should be done by using a fine sable brush. L. M. You will look well in any of the shades of red and the more vivid shades of the other colors burnt orange, rose or peacock blue, for instance. You can make use of these

to relieve the effect of the somber colors. You will not need rouge if

you bathe regularly, exercise and eat properly. Wrinkles There is no way to permanently remove hair, except by the electric needle and this would only be used for the coarse hair. You can bleach the hair on your arms, so it will be less noticeable. None of the things you mention will cause wrinkles. If you will send an addressed stamped envelope, I shall be pleased to mail you directions on the care of the skin.' Worried If your collar bones are as conspicuous as you say, you must need building up all over. Take a tablespoonful of olive oil in the same quantity of grape juice with each meal. Massage a good cream into the tissues of throat and chest and practice deep breathing. This latter thing, is the most important of all. Connie K. If your face is getting

too stout it shows that you are taking

on too much weight all over. You can

correct it by reducing. The yellow skin indicates that the liver is sluggish. AH Inquiries addressed to Mrs. Forbes In care of the "Beauty Chats" department will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time, however, owing- to the great number received. So, if a personal or quicker reply is desired, a tamped and self-addressed envelope must be enclosed with the question The Editor.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young married woman with two small children. I am not very strong and am under a physician's care. I worry a lot and I suppose it is due to my sickness, but I can't help it. My husband's work takes him away from home. He is gone from morning until evening and sometimes very late. I am always alone. I do not go places

very often for I have no one to, leave i

the babies with. I suppose I should AAtMVklein Viiv T Brat mlarVitw 1 TAI !

of Btaying home alone. I do all my own work, although I am not able to do it. My husband makes a lot of money and he never cares what I spend, but he never thinks I need to go. or at least he thinks be never

ought to take care of the babies. I j

sometimes tmnic i wui nire some one to take care of them and go running around, too. I think it is as fair for me as for him. I have told him I did not think he was true to me and it always makes him angry.

I have tried mighty hard, however, I to look over his faults, but I don't see how I am always going to do it. I wonder if all men are as selfish. When we were first married he used to help me around the house.

but now he thinks it terrible if I ask him to do anything. I tell him be thinks I ought to enjoy sitting at home while he is out having a good time. I don't very often bring this subject up, as it would not help the thing

along, but I am getting tired of it all. I

Somehow I can't have confidence in my husband. Am I right or wrong. Weeping Willow.

Poor health seems to have put your, vision out of focus. To get straight again you must realize of how little importance any one is in this life. Your little family would get along somehow even if you weren't there. Such a thought is not a bit flattering,; but it is true. You can see, therefore,, that it the height of folly to overtax;

yourself with work when someone else might just as well be doing it. Since your husband does not care what you spend, you should be more free with your money. Hire as much of your work done as possible so that you will have more time to get out and enjoy yourself and will have more

chance to regain your health. Hire some reliable person to stay with the children when you want to go away. They will be safe. When in doubt about it, stop to realize that they would have to get along if something happened to you. In regard to clothes, a woman is very foolish if she does not dress as well as her husband wishes, when he is perfectly willing to provide the money. To keep your husband's love and interest, you must make the effort

to be as attractive as you were before marriage. The fact that you are the mother of two children Is not a guarantee that your husband will love you.

If, however, you love your husband and make yourself interesting and beautiful to him, you will keep him. Do not expect your husband to work around the house. It is absolutely not his place when he earns enough to hire work done. AUSTRIA RECOGNIZES MEXICO VIENNA, May 19. Recognition of the Mexican government by Austria is confirmed. Official announcement
