The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

IN THE CITY , Chapter 84 While Jane was working out her .own problem In a rough and tumble mining camp in South America, the little apartment in New York was going through Its own series of little crises. There was a note one day, in Claire's characterless, affectedly-m a n n i s h hand-writing. Luther opened it as he and his mother sat at the breakfast table together. Amy, of course, was sound asleep in bed and not likely to be up until nearly 11. Without saying anything. Luther passed the note over to his mother. "Please come and see me thi3 after

noon or tomorrow. I shall be alone both times. Yours, Claire." Mrs. Talbot laid the letter down. The pale blue paper exhalted a curious perfume. Claire, of course, lived in a scented atmosphere, everything from lingerie to notepaper breathed out her favorite perfume. Jane had once observed that Claire could be made to like clean wind and sun if only the sun's rays were permeated with musk and amber, and the wind saturated with sachet de violette. "Is it do you think she wants to make up " Mrs. Talbot asked. "I know what she wants I suppose she thinks that if I go over there when she's alone, she can twist me all around her little finger. You can

I guess what she wants it isn't to make up." Mrs. Talbot sat silent, staring at her coffee cup. "Why don't you let her have her way" she asked suddenly. "A divorce? She wants to marry Clarke, for his money, I expect, and his social position. You don't approve

of divorce nor do I. I used to. I think living with you has changed my ideas."

Mrs. Talbot smiled smile. .'

"It isn't living with me that has

rhanged you, my dear. It's because you don't approve of it in this case be-! cause you are quite naturally reluctant About dragging yourself into a nasty business and because you don't want to let Claire go." Luther nodded. You're quite right. 1 do approve of it generally; there are1 so many people all about who are tied flown to each other, who should be apart and it's wicked to hold them together. But. of course, I'm fond of Claire." He halted a little between his words, as he often did when he found it hard to talk about a subject. Mrs. Talbot said "I don't believe in divorce, any more than I believe in cutting off a leg or

nn arm. diseased

body. Divorce Is an evil, but sometimes it's a lesser evil than continuing an unhappy marriage." Luther was still -silent. Since the letter came, he had forgotten his breakfast. Quietly, without giving him a chance to say so, the mother removed his cup of cold coffee and poured him another one that was hot. He began to drink this, still silent, and she went on.

"Claire is not the sort of wife for

you. You're serious and quiet, you

want a companion who has your

tastes, who has depth, who isn't a pretty little doll. Clarke would probably get along very well with Claire, he likes the doll type and she likes to be that" Shp waa IhinVino' nf lipr

last vision of Claire, In the short cling

ing dress of shining material, her

proud little head tilted to get a better view of herself in the glass, her shining hair, her pretty mouth drawn into a hard line. Luther. ' whether he agreed or not, said nothing. After a time Mrs. Talbot went on, meditatively. "I wish I wish she had just one or two sensible traits. She's really very

likeable. But she's so different from

you. Luther smiled a little. , "Sometimes opposltes attract. Mother. I think the quiet sensible wife you would pick out for me would bore me to death." Mrs. Talbot laughed suddenly. "Perhaps she would, Luther. Are you going to see Claire?" "No. She might coax me into giving her her own way." v ' Mrs. Talbot thought.

"I really disapprove' of divorce because it's a public confession of fail

ure. And I dislike failure. The ideal love is that between two people and

those two only. That's why we have

marriage at -least, that is the ideal

conception of marriage. That's really why I'd like to see you and Claire try

it again." .

"We ve proved living together a failure. At least, Claire thinks it was a complete failure. And even I could

not go back, to the old way. It was nothing but quarrels and, on her part, tears when she couldn't do what she wanted; or little lies to conceal the fact that she had done things she

knew I disapproved of." "Still," Mrs. Talbot said hopefully,

"there must be basis somewhere for a

compromise, to begin on again. .. Luther looked hopeless. (Tuesday Mrs. Talbot Tries.)

WINTER COSMETICS In the winter certain cosmetics are essential. Only the most oily skins cari resist the drying powers of very cold weather, and no woman that I have ever yet found can get through a cold northern winter without having

ineretore cold cream piays a leaning part as a winter cos-metic. But I do not mean an ordinary cleansing cream by this, for cleansing cream is practically no good at ali. I mean a cream containing vegetable oil which the skin will absorb. If you can not purchase a good one you would do well to go to the slight trouble ot making one. My standard formula is:' Fine Cold Cream Almond oil -....4 ounces Rpermacetti , 1 ounce White wax 1 ounce Benzoin ..." 1 drachm Rose water 4 ounces This cream is practically as effective and less expensive if you substitute olive oil for almond oil. though you might not like the odor quite so well.

Jo: At 19 years, with a height ot & feet 4 inches, your weight of 115 pounds is all right, even though it will take another five pounds to total the average. I am glad to hear of the splendid results from the eyelash tonic. In using salt water to tone the skin

the proportions are attained by testing

it. It should never be so salty that it smarts, nor so little salted that you can not taste it. A few experiments will determine the amount. Dry salt rubbed into the hands after washing th?m during all the cold weather will keep the skin fine grained and prevent most of that unpleasant dryness of the hands at this season.
