The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

.' ANOTHER SPRING COMES. "Synoptic of Preceding Chapter. Ruth. O'NJel and Myra Weed have -always been chums, but the friendship is temporarily broken when a plan of living in New York 1s "spoiled. They were to havo gone together, Ruth to take a business course, Myra to enjoy herself. Ruth teeis fche must go to learn, and is almost heartbioktn when the chance goes to Myra and not herself. Then Tim, who has always been in love with Ruth, goes alto, to earn money to marry her. Once in the city, he falls in love with idle, fun-loving Myra, and Ruth at home faces poverty, the loss of her love, the loss of every chance to be happy or have a career. She takes a small job, badly paid, in her small town. She meets Langley "Williams, but there is nothing sentimental in thedr friendship. Gradually, after her heartbreak over the news of Tim's marriage, she pieces together her life once more. She starts children's playgrounds, parks, concerts in her little city, organizes a social club, and eventually plans a model factory town, over the river. The Civic Committee decides to send her to New York on business meantime, she is making a Mnall fortune from her plan of the model town.

CHAPTER 73 It was well into February when Duncan O'Neil was laid in the little cemetery on the outskirts of Marketown. Ruth went back to her office the following day, in spite of both friendly and professional advice that she rest. "I'd rather be at work, she told her friends. "I've got to work," she told Dr.

Iane. "What is there to do at home?'

Sit and think about Father, and wish he had lived another year or. so until I really made money!" "Probably you're right," Dr. Lane agreed. "After all, we're all only bundles of nerves, and some of yours are untied. You'd better be where you have your mind at rest part of the time, at least." So Ruth went back to her office. Her stenographer greeter her with the hushed and tongue-tied manner that, with her, passed for sympathy. Ruth was just nervous enough to be a little annoyed at it. Her assistant was so anxious to spare her work that he stumbled over himself in his efforts to relieve her of details, and the girl was glad to get out of the place and over to the new factory town. Langley came up to greet her when she alighted from the hired car. "We struck a spring in digging for the foundations of the new brass factory, and to hear the foreman curse well, you'd think he'd hit the Atlantic. Bosnian was at the club house last night. He says he won't have the

band concerts in the paik this summer because it cost so much last year. "Won't he!" Ruth's tone was defiant. "I'll call a special meeting and put it through tomorrow night. Bosman has gotten rich collecting pennies, but h hasn't had a moment's pleasure in his life, he's been so busy " "Never mind, he's always complaining of something. Walk over to the east here. We're surveying for three avenues the men came out this morning." "We're getting along," Ruth said, and smiled with satisfaction. They

walked across the fields, heaped with building materials, concrete mixers, iron beams, lumber, window sashes and the vast miscellany from which human habitations are built. As they walked, the color crept back into the girl's cheeks and her eyes brightened. As they stood on a little rise of ground Ruth wanted to put up a big recreation center here the warm sun came out in a full burst of yellow glory. Impulsively Ruth pulled off her hat and shook her head, letting the sun warm her hair and her head. "It's Spring." Langley said, taking off his cap and running his fingers back through his long yellow hair. "Spring! Usually I feel awfully happy at this time of year when things first begin coming to life." Her eyes started out over the busy fields and the small army of workmen. For a time she did not see them.

I Langley looked down at her with a)l

the sympathy in the world in his eyes. But Ruth was looking away from him. "Ruth," he began, a sudden authoritative note in his voice calling her back again from her little mood of self-sympathy. "Yes?" "When are you going to get some new clothes?", "Do you think new dresses are a cure for a broken heart?" she asked resentfully. "No," he answered. "Only it just this minute occurred to me that you. who happen to be the most important

woman in this town at the present moment, are probab' the shabbiest. I don't care how much money you owe. you ought tb buy " "Wait till I pay for the funeral "at least!" she said. "Mother has gone over th accounts. She did it last night. The doctor, the nurse, the undertaker some taxes oh lots of things, are unpaid. It's about $700. I

fore

not." "I don't believe I did. But I've no

ticed lots of other things about you." He said it almost defensively. "I've noticed you have intelligent eyes, though I knew you a year before I discovered they were blue. I've noticed you have a clear skin you look like a ghost now, but most girts would give a lot to have your coloring." "Someone told you that." The man laughed. "To be frank, May Widener told me all about your coloring, one night at the club. She's very fond of you. I never notice girls much, I guess. But I've been noticing you a lot. Maybe I'm falling in love " "Don't!" the girl cried sharply, as though it hurt her.

Beauty Chats I By Edna Kent Forbes

ROUND SHOULDERS. Round shoulders are always objectionable, but particularly so if one wears a tailored suit, for the simplicity and severity of the suit coat require a trim, well-set-up figure. At one time it was permissible to slouch in evening gowns or the light dresses appropriate for afternoon wear. "Permissible" is probably too strong a ward since the style of the frocks some years ago concealed the fact that the shoulders were in a wrong position. But the dresses today only accentuate a rounded shoulder line. It is necessary not only for health, but for good looks to keep the spine straight and the shoulders back. If you have unfortunately become round shouldered, there are two or three simple exercises that will do wonders in bringing the figure back to a graceful position. One is to learn to sleep on the back without a pillow. This keeps the spine and shoulders in proper position for about eight hours of the period you are asleep. As this is one third of your life it is an excellent time to give to corrective treatments. You will be able to see the benefits

Meanwhile, if the small bone at the ! base of the neck has become promi

nent, as is the case with most round shouldered people, try clasping the hands at the back of the neck and stretching the arms back as far as possible, at the same time holding the head as high as possible. This will throw that bone back Into place eventually. M. K. Freckles came from natural causes, so there is no way of preventing them. Bleaches that are strong enougb to remove these marks will also Injure the skin. You can lessen this tendency to freckle by protecting the face from strong sun or wind, and by using such simple bleachers as the juice of lemon, strawberry or cucumber. Follow this with some cold cream, as even these fild bleaches deplete the skin of its oily secretion. Send an addressed stamped envelope for the eyelash tonic. J. F. As your pimples come from internal disorder, you will be compelled to cure them by correcting this. Take two yeast cakes each day, dissolved in a half glass of water or spread over crackers like you would do butter, and make a paste of the yeast and apply it to the pimples, al-

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am only seventeen years of age and deeply in love with a very attractive fellow of twenty-one. On being out with him and a number of couples he insisted on drinking and the result was that he became very much intoxicated. Do you think I should get angry and have nothing to do with him? Or should I accept his apology and continue going with him? HEART-BROKEN. Since you are so young I would advise that you give up the young man for the time being at least. He was very ungenflemanly or he would not

nave conducted himself in such a way when he was the escort of a seventeen year old girl. If time proves that be was sorry for this mistake and be does not repeat It, you might accept his friendship in a year or two in case he is still interested in you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl fourteen years old and have had letters time and again with some boy's initials signed to them and I am sure they have not written them. Some are very foolish letters. ,1 have accused some girls near by of writing them, but they deny it. I am quite certain they did. What means can I take to let them know I don't appreciate their doing it? It worries me so much. DISCOURAGED SUE. You are the victim of a practical joke and the more resentment you

show the more it will please the Jokers. Jljr advice is to -remain .silent about the letters you receive. When the girls decide they are no longer bothering you they will cease to waste postage stamps. Youth Is not always kind. Your friends seem to risk hurting you in order to have a good. laugh.

At one time in England beaver hats were compulsory, and makers were prohibited from using any other material. . . - -
