"The Love Pendulum

By MARION RUBINCAM

COMPLICATIONS ARISE. Chapter 18. The telegram carae in the middle of the morning, and I did not open iL I knew it could only be from Aunt Harriet, and I could gues3 the contents. I knew, at least, that sho would be very angry. Meantime I had told Ella and Margery and Ted and the rest, and everyone had been delighted. Margery gave a little impromptu dinner for me and her usually cross and quiet husband became very charming and talkative. Mrs. Taylor came around the next morning to see me, and kissed me and told me how glad she was. "I know Winthrop is very much in love," she said. "Though you hav not know each other long. I Just know you will be happy. I hadn't known Mr. Taylor more than a few months when I married him. "But I don't suppose you will be married for awhile. Your aunt will have to be told, and you will have to see her of course, and there's your father.. And your mother I beg your pardon, Constance, but I feel I have to ask that. You never mentioned your mother. I suppose she has been dead for some time?" "I don't know," I answered camly. Mrs. Taylor looked shocked, both at my statement and my calm manner of making it. "Don't know what do you mean?" "I never knew her. Father won't talk about her. Every time I asked about her. he simply kept quiet and would not answer. That's when I was a child, when I saw other girls' mothers, and wondered where mine was. "Once he told me she was dead.

But his voice was odd, so I don't think he was telling the truth. Once he made me promise never to ask anything about her, to say to myself that as far as I was concerned she is dead, and to forget about it." "But your aunt her sister ?" No. father's sister. She wouldn't tell either. I have one vague recollection, one of my earliest. It's of u tiny, very beautiful woman, very fashionable at least to my child's ideas with lots of gold hair and I think blue eyes. It's so vague I wonday whether it isn't something I've made up and pretended it's a memory" "Poor dear child!" Mrs. Taylor sympathized. "What a way for a baby to grow up. No mother and your father away " "Oh, Aunt Harriet really does like

me, and I've always had good nurses and governesses anyway, I have you for a mother now." Nothing I could have said would have pleased her more. We went into each other's arms, and she kissed me and called me her "darling daughter." "I always wanted a daughter," she said later. " I have always wanted Win to marry a pretty girl with golden hair, because I had hair something like your3 when I was young. But Win is dark, like his father." ' "So we each gain." I said. "And you won't feel that I am taking Winthrop away from you?" "Dear, he's only a child himself. He has to have some one look after him. I think you are sensible enough to do it. . That ciade me feel I had a sacred mission in life. And the happiness of it all was not spoiled until the telegram came. I waited for Win to come in the evening, and then opened iL It was worse than I thoughL It was dated Neport. "Utter nonsense," the yellow message read. "Where are your wits? Do nothing of the sort. I shall write you at once. Never heard of such p. thing and have cabled your father this morning." My aunt must have been in a tirade. "Telegraph me at once you have broken this off," she went on with a ine disregard for words and expense. "I knew I should have insisted that you come here with me."

1 "I thought something like this would

happen," Winthrop remarked, frown

ing a3 he read the message. "She sent it first thing this morning. When

did it arrive?" "Before lunch," I answered. But I was afraid to open it."

Win laughed and leaned down to

kiss me.

"Never mind," he said. "I won't let

her take you away from me."

"You won't, will you?" I said, and suddenly clung to his arm. "Better answer something soothing," he suggested, still frowning at the yellow slip of paper. We sat down to compose an answer. But ray aunt must have been much upset. . An hour later another long telegram came, this one dated Boston. "Why haven't you answered?" it read. "Waited, got too worried tc stay, so have come in to Boston to catch the midnight for New York. Will take special train to Wellsville if theie are no decent trains when I iwant them." My aunt had a supeib

disdain for money and anything elsa when she wanted something to happen quickly. "Expect me tomorrow."

I turned to Winthrop, frightened and

hall trembling. Aunt Harriet had a strong will.

"Win," I cried. "She will stop ua She won't let us marry nor be en

gaged. What shall we do?"

Win threw back his head, that little gesture that always meant much to me and meant everything this time. "We will run away." he announced, dl it arrive?" Tomorrow The Race.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl fourteen years old. There is a large family. My fatner and mother separated a few months ago and I went on the witness stand for my mother.

I wa3 the only one called on. My mother seems to think lots of me and I do of her, but she always gets angry when' any of us speak about father. She says that he is not worthy of being called a father, after being so mean to her and us children. He is living in a town not very far from us and the next day after the divorce my sister and I were in town and he came up to us and talked and asked us to come up and see him. Then he kissed us. When I told mother she said she did not approve of it because it was his duty to come and see us, and she won't let us go to see him. Of which do you approve? I did not really mean' I didn't like my father, but it . was more for mother's sake. Do you think the divorce will spoil the reputation of us children? AUG. I do not blame your mother for her attitude because she has been so unhappy, and without knowing the story it is difficult to say whether or not she is wrong. There is a chance that your father is the kind of man who would be a harmful influence. On the other hand, when there is a divorce there are almost always two sides to the story and both father and mother have their good points as well as bad. Try to use your own reasoning and judge for yourself whether your father is really a bad man. Perhaps you will decide that both your father and- mother were all right, but that they were not suited to each other. If your mother has custody over you, you cannot disobey her and go to visit your father. You can, however, love your father in your own heart, not mentioning it to her because it makes her angry. It would do your father good, however, to

know that hi3 little girl loved him. It might be that your love would be a great help to him in being a better man. , Think out your problems, little girl, and be as fair as you can in your judgments. The divorce will not hurt the reputation . of you children to any great extent if you are good and sweet and lovable. If some people are narrow enough to let it give you a bad name, ignore them.

Only the roses rival the freshness of her skin

Use your two hands Apply the lather to your face with your two hands. Massage it softly into the skin and let it penetrate every cell and pore. Rinse ( with your hands also, dry gently and apply a little cold cream. The very first time you wash your face this way you will note the improvement in freshness and natural color. After this careful cleansing you can safely apply rouge and powder. They are harmless enough when applied to the skin. This beautifying cleansing is the secret handed down from ancient Egypt which Cleopatra used to improve and preserve her beauty. She knew that it is the great secret of complexion beauty and that thorough cleanliness is a charm in itself.

A pretty girl should look her best in the morning awakening with flowerlike freshness of complexion, welcoming the revelations of searching sunshine. Such charm is not necessarily a gift of Nature, but the result of knowing what your skin needs of giving it the intelligent daily care which makes it bloom with health. Dull, sallow, lifeless skins are the sign of neglect which rouge and powder can't conceal. Active skins,free from clogging accumulations, with every tiny cell and capillary doing its work, need cosmetics only as an embellishment. How to have a beautiful skin The secre tis a thorough cleansing every day which removes all dirt, surplus cold cream and remains of rouge and powder, and this can only be done with soap.This soap must be mild and balmy and sooth-

Volume and efficiency produce 25-cent quality for

ing in its action. Palmolive is such a soap. Palmolive is the scientific blend of palm and olive oils, the cosmetic cleans- ' ers of Cleopatra. They produce a mild, creamy lather, soothing as a lotion, which leaves your skin delightfully smooth and soft. Not an extravagance The price of Palmolive is as surprising as its quality. Volume and efficiency permit us to offer it for 10c a cake. You can afford to provide it for eeneral family use, on the wash stand and for bathing;. Men all like Palmolive and children should use it to preserve the texture of their skins. It insures fine complexions in later life. Use it in hard water Palmolive lathers freely and profusely in the hardest water when other soaps curdle. Its softening effects counteract the water' s hardness. THE PALMOLIVE COMPANY MILWAUKEE, U.
