Richard Brabant, a successful young; lawer, has glvt-n a year's leave of absence to his wife, Sally, hoping that she will be changed from a butterfly to a woman by learning something of Ufa. She meets Keith Gilbert, always labelled "Danflrerou." nrl thrnSsrh hltn associates
with New York's gayest crowd of cele-'
unties; among them, ljce Craig, a pretty artist, and Graham Browne, a well-known financier. The gay life that Sally leads is not approved by her friend, Barbara Lane, an old-fashioned wife, but is shared by

With Sally she goes to a house-party at Gilbert's country plac. and is there when revenue officers appear to arrest Gilbert on a charge of bootleeging on a big scale, and because one of his men has killed an officer during a fight.

the complete sum invested. Mrs. Parke's money, which had been in mortgages, was also added up. The two other women kept quiet, fascinated by learning the whole extent of the catastrophe. It was added up at last a respectable number of thousands of dollars. Humphrey tried to explain to Patty,
the only one who seemed to keep an impersonal and calm manner, why this timber speculation had seemed to secure. Humphrey had invested before, and cleaned up, as he called it, "a fair return." This time he had trusted a friend he had known for years who had since disappeared. He had not troubled to find out the exact location of the timber country and he didn't know that the land was government

Mrs. Parke cried, tearful but triumphant, having found at last the excuse and the reason for the safe and sane Humphrey's financial aberration. "They're full of stories about poor men gambling and making huge fortunes, that's what they are. They're a corrupting influence!"

His face rose before her the mocking hazel eyes that had been so tender in the old days when they looked on her, the clean-cut lips whose touch had sent a hot wave of ecstacy through her whole being when he pressed them to the palms of her hands. She recalled the first time he had done that the moment when it
seemed to her that that kiss would

before to extricate herself from her difficulty. She followed Mrs. Randall out to the car a few moments later with a valiant mood lifting its wings in her heart.

road that gleamed in the moonlight,

Unquestionably she was the victor;
in this verbal war. In such a domestic exchange of dagger thrusts, the most ruthless always wins. Mrs. Parke spared no one. AH this went on to a double accompaniments an occasional sob from Millie, who saw the end of everything with the spreading of the news in the

Everyday Ad-Ventures
When you walk down to your office in the morning, feeling full of life and ambition, and you shout a hearty "good morning" to everybody when you arrive, and then sit down at your desk in the mood to do a big day's work But when you reach into your pocket for your glasses, the bright morning is completely spoiled because you can't find your reading glasses in any of your pockets, and you can't do any work without them And when you call up your wife to find out if you didn't leave them at home, she tells you that she saw you putting them in your pocket before you left the house And you look through your pockets again and find a large hole in one of them, and then you lose your temper and your good disposition and your manners and storm around the office until you hit on a hopeful idea and call 2834.

TVHRU all the baking done with Valier's Enterprise Flour runs the fine, unmistakable flavor of choice, stronggluten hard wheat. You will appreciate it this year especially, because good wheat is scarce and it is difficult to get wheat that will make flour of Enter- v prise quality and flavor. We pay . a big premium to get it, but isn't it worth a few cents a sack more to have flour you can depend upon?
P. S. Valier Enterprise Flonr has concentrated strength. Eight or even less cups of Enterprise go as far as nine of ordinary flour. Use less flour when 70a bake with Enterprise.

She was ready at last. Her frock

She looked fragile, exquisite; only in her deep blue eyes was there any hint of the terror that grinped her heart. Moving slowly down the wide stairs, she caught sight of Graham Browne in the hall below, and the thought came to her that here she might find I help. He knew what Gilbert was; he f knew how careless the man was of his I own safety when bent on getting anything he wanted. Surely he would be- ; friend her now, would help her to es- : cape from the net which she had un- , consciously woven for herself . i She had not know that it would take so much courage to approach the subject; the man's keen, appraising eyes embarrassed her, and she found her'self stumbling awkwardly through the rentences in which she tried to make rlrar to him her need of help.

Had their marriage not been! a perfunctory thing from which she had been glad to escape for a year? And would he ever want to come back? She looked at Barbara Lane, who sat beside her chatting gaily to Graham Browne. Babs had told her that afternoon how important it was for Andy to get in touch with Browne, and what this chance meeting might mean to the Lane fortunes. Browne appeared genuinely interested and; pleased with her. Sally heard her say with a soft little laugh: "Indeed, I do make that kind of strawberry shortcake; I'm just a very old-fashioned wife, Mr. Browne, as you will see when you come to our little home. Why; I even make Andy's shirts!" "You're one wife in a million, Mrs. Lane," he told her quietly. "And until I get that promised invitation to
