The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM
DISILLUSIONMENT. Chapter SS. That night, lying in her luxurious little bedroom at the hotel, Ruth thought oyer the things said during the evening. Parts of the conversation came back to her she could not sleep, and gave it up once, turning on the reading light on tha tiny table and hunting through her suitcase . for a book to read. But even this she gave un, having no interest in the pages, so she turned out the light and lay looking into the dark and thinking. Tim had digested a bit with the evening paper, once tie opened it, but catching a look fro'm Myra, he laid it down like a well-trained husband. "Do read it." Ruth begged him, "then Myra and I can talk. The war news has been a little more cheerful the last few days. I felt last week as though I had to go over myself and take a hand, things seemed so desperate." "I wasn't reading the war news," Tim answered, perhaps a little sulky because Myra had forbidden him to read. "There's a boxing match on. they are training, and I was just wondering how Joe the Hitter was coming on." "He might read the war news and improve his mind," Myra answered, puckering up her lips with a little air of virture. "It's not our war," Tim answered easily. "And we will never get into it. Why worry?" "I think it js our war, though," Ruth answered thoughtfully, "and I am not so sure we won't get into it. Most of the things we are making in the factories already built, are for the war, and we are planning things on an extensive scale because, though we are only making for foreign governments now, we may have to make for our own." "Well, you won't catch me going if we do get into it," Tim answered, cheerfully, opening the evening paper to the sporting page. "Anyway, they won't ask me because I have a wife and a large and husky son to support. Haven't I?" He leaned over from his
chair toward Myra and kissed her, and she smiled back into his face -the bland, sweet emile that made her so very pretty. Ruth felt as though something had cut her sharply it was not the kiss she felt badly over, she thought later as she lay thinking about the evening, it was Tim's new attitude towards life. She and Langley had followed the news of the day with eagerness. Langley brought up to her letters addressed to him from foreign governments, and when a French officer in his smart horizon blue uniform had come to look over some work for his government, it was Langley's greatest joy to go about with him. They had a map of ttie battlefields and stuck little pins in to show where the armies advanced and retreated this occupied all of a small table in the living room at home. How could Tim ignore it, she wondered! "Just exactly what are you doing with these new buildings?" Myra asked. "Mother says you are a stenographer for them. You always did want to be one, you know." "I'm not exactly a stenographer," Ruth answered, wondering how she could begin to explain her ideas, her accomplishments, her dreams and ambitions, where there was so much to
tell about them. I
"You see," she began again, thinking she might start at the beginning and make it understandable to Myra "You see, when I got home from NewYork before, I was a little lonesome, nothing seemed to happen in Marketown " "I should think you would be lonesome in that hole," Myra broke in contempuously, "especially as you ran around so much in the city." Ruth remembered how practically all the good times she had had before were due to Gaby and not to Myra, but she said nothing. "So I started a club just our old crowd, and a few' other nice people, and we gave a dance and formed some committees."
"Yee, the Towne Club, mother wrote about it.'Tim said. "The club went along splendidly. Then I had an idea about turning a vacant lot by a factory into a place for the factory children to play, because those streets are so dirty and there are so many loaded trucks going through, there are often accidents." "You were working in the factory,' Tim put in again. "Yes. Then I had an idea we might turn the vacant lots in Marketown into playgrounds for all the children. In other words, give them a place away fro m ' the streets, with play things, swings and gymnastic appa. ratus, and a woman to teach them organized play. And I thought we ought to have a park for grown-ups one of the children's play grounds, with band concerts something pretty in the center of the town." "It needs something decent looking,"
Myra interrupted. "So to get that the club formed a ' Civic committee. I was a member ot it. Well, we got those, and did a lot j of good things for the town. Then the club drew older members because it j
was aoing serious work, and we bought the old Haines farm and use it now as a summer place, as a country

Inside the square it is like a garden and all the people share it" She stopped. Myra looked plainly bored: Tim was glancing steathily at the sporting page of his paper. . . Tomorrow Details.

After going with her so many years it would not be fair to her to drop her. Besides, you say that you love her and marriage seems the natural outcome of love.

T"OES your boy envy other boys their luncheons at school ? Or is he one of those who opens his lunch box eagerly, knowing that he'll find big, .fine-flavored sandwiches made from bread baked at home with Valier's Enterprise Flour? Such sandwiches can't be beat. They're the finest you cv.r tasted. And why not? Valier's Enterprise Flour is milled from nothing but the very choicest hard winter wheat and only the white centers of that. Try a sack of Enterprise. It not only produces better baking it's economical as well. A sack costs more than a sack of ordinary flour but it goes further because of its concentrated strength. And you won't have needless, costly failures with , Enterprise its quality never varies.
