The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM
THE DINNER Chapter 87 So they met. after the years and the parting and the emotions each had jeone through, in a small kitchen of a cheap downtown apartment , while
Ruth's old-time chum was putting ;
Tim a baby to bed. Ruth had one hand on the table a hand white and well cared tor these last few months, and manicured that very day by the
much devoted Marie. And all around were queer, unro-: mantic objects a line over the stove where small washed-out garments were drying, a clothes horse in a corner with babies' clothes folded and' hanging on it, and on the table milk bottles half emptied, cups and spoons, soiled dishes, a bowl of salad, a long,
wooden spoon steaming from its bath in roast beef juice, celery and a bottle of olives, a dish towel, and other odds and ends that go with a hurried dinner getting. Then Ruth slowly held out her hand
and Tim took it. It was a queer way
to meet she thought. "You're looking like a millionaire," he exclaimed. "You're looking well, too," she replied. And she looked at him again. Her first thought was that Tim needed a shave and her second that Langley
never looked as though he did. Then j she felt ashamed of this for Tim was j just in from work. He had the same j broad, boyish grin that first made her adore him, and he was looking at her! in frank admiration, as he used to. Myra came back. Tim turned and kissed her this, too, was something j Ruth had been dreading. But it was; not the lingering kiss of the young! lover and it -wasn't the habit-trained j kiss of a man long married. It was the sweet affectionate caress that!
t
most of the gossip, for her mother had written it, but she wanted more details. "Who's engaged and who's married?" she asked. "Mother says the Brayton's have a baby. What's it like?" "I don't know, I never see them." The talk went on in jerks and stops. Ruth knew less of the local gossip than Myra "yet you live there," said that lady. "Well, but I meet only the people in our club, and since Father's death I've hardly ever gone out there. "My, what a stupid time you must have!" "Not a bit. There's the new town we're building. I'm working on that all day long. I meet lots of new people there " she ran over some names. "They live in that imitation castle five miles from town, they're great swells," Tim commented once.
Ruth slightly resented this namej applied to a man of great influence!
who was working with her on the new town. (Tomorrow Disillusionment)

was so characteristic of Tim's own sweet and affectionate nature. "Nice thing to come home and find
our special guest in the kitchen," he!
said teasingly. Myra smiled placidly. "Oh. I guess we know Ruth well Sough to let her come back here," e answered, tying on the apron. "Tim, you mash the potatoes." "But I ought to shave, I'm pretty dirty. Will you hold dinner?" Myra smiled again and Tim disappeared. Ruth sat down while her chum went on putting the finishing touches to the meal. It was odd to see Myra work she wondered first of all that she would do it, and then that she could. Myra wore a dress whose cheap ready-made appearance gave itself away as something from an uptown bargain house. Where now was
the rosy lipped little girl who curled j up on the sofa at parties and wore j
..'av-i - i ..... w . . .
Myra was getting
fat no. Myra
was fat for all the fact that she was only 22. She was the type, Ruth thought that was it. She would i
settle down in her home, mind her baby, look after her husband, and take on flesh. She remembered their reflection as they stood by the mirror while Myra tried on her hat her own
fclimness and youth against the stout j
settled lines of her hostess' figure. When they sat down at the dinner table, the most self-possessed of the ahree was the always placid Myra. She sat on one side, Ruth on the other, and Tim between them. Then Ruth began to see why It was that Myra managed her house so easily. The soup was canned, opened and heated, the roast was the only difficult part of the meal, the vegetables were canned, the salad and all the other dainties came from the delicatessen shops, and even the dessert
had been bought ready-made. "We could afford a nicer apartment I in a better neighborhood only food j costs so much. Y'ou can't think what i delicatessen stores charge!" Myra j said once, and that gave the secret away. Ruth thought some days later! that Myra might economize by buying raw materials and cooking them, but; then she thought nothing except that j
in some curious way she was not -quite at home in the little flat with f
these old friends. i 'Til just leave the dishes go until tomorrow," Myra said easily, after' the meal was over. j Now. thought Ruth, we can settledown and have a cozy old time talk. . They went into the living room again. ! and Ruth settled herself in a corner! of the great upholstered couch far j too large for the little room. Tim j went to a shelf, and brought out a, pipe, filled and lit it, and Myra' settled herself with some sewing for the baby. ! They talked, indeed, about all the, people in Marketown, Myra knew;
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am eighteen years old and alone in the world. At a dance I am quite popular and am considered good looking, but the fellows dance with me and talk to me but they don't ask to take me home or to call on me. I have had several fellows call on me and take me out and seem to like me at first. I trv to be pleasant and talk of things that I know are of interest to them and I know I don't do anything to hurt their feelings, but after calling a few times they seem to lose interest iq me. Please don't think I am crazy about fellows, but when all the other girls go out and have good times it is very lonesome for me to have to stay at home, especially when I have no mother, sisters or brothers. Please tell me what is wrong. LONESOME.
I am not good at guessing and there-1 fore I cannot tell you what is wrong. I think you over estimate the popularity of the average girl when you
say mat all tne other girls go out and have good times. A few girls are very popular, many have attention occasionally while, others never go places. Your boy friends are too young to think of marriage and therefore they are not serious in their attitude toward you. 1 am confident that in a few years you will see a change. The attention you receive will be more serious and more lasting when it is shown by a man with more steadfast and less youthful tastes. Do not "spoon." If you do, you will get a reputation for it and you will not be respected. A worthy man wants a girl who has not been made love to by every Tom, Dick and Harry. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl twenty-one years old. I am in love with a young man. We broke our association some time ago. He loves me and I do love him more than anyone in the world.- My parents hate him. Is there any dishonor to my parents if I marry this young man without their consent? UNHAPPY GIRT,. It Is more Important that you should be pleased with your husband than that your parents should be. Perhaps your parents have good reasons for disliking the young man, in which case it would be unwise for you to wilfully marry him. Use the very best judgment you can in your decision and re
member that the happiness of a life-' time hangs in the balance. j
A BEAUTY FOOD
We are long past the season of the year when a blood purifying tonic is needed. If the blood has been too thick during the winter months the skin will show it when the weather changes, and a spring tonic is needed then. However, it is an excellent idea to give yourself a special treatment about once every month to keep the skin clear and the blood in pure healthy condition. I am not talking about cosmetics now, but the far more important topic of internal cleanliness. If the body is not functioning properly the skin will be sure to show it. It may be too dry or too oily, o;" merely coarse pored or it may, if the internal condition is quite bad. be full of little marks and eruptions. The skin will clear as soon as the body is in healthy condition again, which, as I said before, is a matter of prosper elimination.
The unfortunate part of all this
that we fancy these physical functions are going on normally when they ieally are not. Whether or not ou suspect this to be the case, you will find that a little extYa care every few weeks will give its reward in th--shape of a clear skin and better health. And the easiest and mot pleasant, treatment is eating orangen. For a couple of days every month or every two weeks if your skin is bad. give up most of the solid foods you normally take and eat oranges instead. Drink the juice of two with your breakfast, have orange salad for luncheon, drink orange juice in the afternoon and Hfore going to bed. It's mild acid wMl not hurt you if taken this way every three or four weeks. What it does is to cleanse the entire system and stimulate the eliminative functions of the body.
