THE VILLAGE LIFE i Chapter 8 The informal little dinner was the opening, for me, Into the life of Wellsville. I adored every bit of the little place. I had never been so happy in my life. Winthrop did come, as he suggested, and I took him out in my car. AVe drove for miles and miles over the roads in the late afternoons when he had finished his office work. For in that little town they worked

until nearly 6, and 6 was the only1 proper hour for dinner or supper as some called it, though it was the main i

meal of the day. This surprised me at ! first, for at my aunt's we never dined 1 before 8, and a formal dinner was 8:30 unless we were going to the theatre. But I was glad of the early hour, for it gave so much more evening. And in the evenings I liked to sit out in a big couch hammock on the lawn, while a few fireflies played in and out of the trees and shrubs, and while the evening star made such a lovely bit of silver in the sky. In fact, there was nothing I liked better than to lie flat in the hammock, my hands under my head, while I looked up and up and up into the blue-black of the summer night and watched the myriads of stars above me. Somehow in the city we never had stars or if we did, we never noticed them. One evening I Baid something like this to Winthrop. We were in from

a drive a wonderful drive. He had come around for me after his early supper and we started off in my car, as we did now every other evening. I had kept my promise and taught him to drive, and one Saturday afternoon I showed him how the engine worked. For my aunt had made me learn very thoroughly before she allowed me a machine. Win had the wheel this evening. We drove five miles out to a great hill and took the winding road to its top. I liked this arrangement, for then I had more time to look about. The farm houses were so quaint, the rail fences that zig-zagged around the fields amused me so much, the children looked so chubby and dear as we passed them. ' From the top of the hill we caught the sunset, and watched its perfect glory dim into a soft orange radiance. Then we drove back while the shadows turned blue and gray around us, and Win put the car up. And I sat curled up in a corner of the hammock, while Win sat on a cushion on the

lesson, was crazy over the boys and married the first man she could capture. She's too silly even to know she's unhappy." "Bill Edwards and Jimmy Rex " "Crazy about you, of course! Who wouldn't be? You're prettier than any girl ihat ever lived here, you dress

differently when you dress up in your

real clothes and not those aprons They'll all fall in love with you "

"I hope not!" I protested. "I want them to like me. but I'm more an

xious the girls should like me."

"They'd hate you for your beauty and the fact that the men will come

around as fast as you'll let hem except that they say in the village you are an heiress to a lot of money. That will keep the women in lova

with you.".

I sat quiet for a time. This was the first flaw in enjoyment I had money,

that was true enough. My aunt had a great deal which I would some day inherit. My father lived extravagantly but I did not know whether he lived up to his income or not Quite possibly he lived beyond it. How awful to be liked for one's money! I decided on a small fib. "That's nonsense, about the money," I said. "I haven't any that is, only enough to get along on. My aunt is supposed to be rich, but I think she spends all she has, so I'm not an heiress. You see, my car doesn't cost much to keep and this is hired anyway and this house is very, very

cheap, and Parker Is both nurse and housekeeper." "Even so, to their ideas you are rich," he went on. "They'd think even $2,000 a year rich." ' I was glad it was dark so I could

smile without being seen doing it! Two thousand! My allowance was $5,000, and my aunt bought more than that amount every year in clothes for me. - But I wanted to be liked for myself. I must stop that 'heiress" story, and I wondered how I could do it. Tomorrow I Grow More Popular.

"There are too many lights on the ! city streets to see the stars," re-j marked. "If one looks up, there is a glare of electricity, and one can't look'

beyond that." "I think that's the right idea," Winthrop said. "I'm tired of stars, I hate them. I hate this village, anyway." "Winthrop!" I protested. "This dear place!" "This dear place, yes! And I hate these stupid people." "Stupid! t How can you say so? They're so charming they've been so nice to me. There's Ella " "Fat nose and protruding teeth and eyes, that's Ella.

Woman need not suffer the unpleasantness of disagreeable odor caused by excessive perspiration during these hot days. PERSPIRO or EXO are two of the best deodorants on the market. They are harmless creams which completely neutralize and deodorize offensive odors from exc e s s i v e perspiration ; keep you sweet and dainty without harm to your health and injury to your skin. A small portion is all that is necessary, while you are making your toilet or before retiring. Try either PERSPIRO or EXO and you will always feel fresh and comfortable.
