by Marion Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. Pandora Nicholson is shy to a painful degree. She Is an odd little sensitive, neglected girl who lives as a sort of poor relation -with her Uncle Peter and Aunt Maude, and their daughter, Gladys, who is loud voiced i and popular. No one understands or cares for her except her father, who also lives ther. She Is afraid of people, cannot talk to them, never knows what to say. A quiet little friendship begins with Morton Newberry, who is shy, too when Gladys suddenly decides she wants Morton, though every other boy but Morton had been devoted to her. Eventually she becomes engaged to Mm. Dora is broken hearted. She has begun a friendship with Gloria Gates when that rather exotic lady is visiting Norris City. A TOO BRIEF FRIENDSHIP Chapter 31. j The second visit was Tuesday. Wednesday Dora received a letter, the first Fhe had had in months the first in fact, since Morton wrote her early in the spring. This one said: "Dear Child When you can, won't you come in and talk to me awhile? I'm always home late in the afternoon, Mrs. Innisley and I gossip over teacups. Come and join us. Haven't you errands to do in the town tomorrow?" The letter was read and reread until Dora knew it word for word. Then it was slipped into the pages of the diary, where everything precious went. She had never heard of a letter written just that way. Who would want to talk to her? Surely Mrs. Gates could not be serious! She, Dora, never could say anything anyone would want to listen to! Oi course, she shouldn't go. The men her uncle, her father and one of the hired men, came in ravenous for supper at six, their midday picnic

was aware of the great favor being done by having the unusual arrangement nevertheless, she upset her aunt's plan, cooked a big dinner at roon, announced: "I have to go in town with the buggy, I will be back by six," laid the table ready, and after doing everything she could toward the evening meal, she drove off to the town. "I deserve a little recreation now r,nd then," she told. herself to prop up her dying courage for she knew her ft unt wouldn't approve. Mrs. Gates was in. "Here is the girl who lies awake Jill night to read about old furniture," t-he cried. "Come here, my dear; it was sweet of you to come in to see me." Dora found herself alone with this new friend and Mrs. Innisley, who waa Mr. Icnisley's mother, and sixty odd years old. She wasn't so afraid with fid people, but she could think of nothing to say, lor all that. It was the old feeling, her tongue cleaving to the roof of her mouth, her throat tight, nervousness making her dumb. Mrs. Gates, who guessed all this, put out a hand, and drew her down to the sofa. "It's "a long drive, and you must be tired. Here, you shall have a cup of tea, and don't say a word until you havo drunk it." It acted like magic! Being told to keep still for five minutes, drinking the stimulating tea, her throat muscles relaxed, a little of her se-lfv-assurance came back, and she looked humbly and gratefully at this new friend. And the new friend, helping her to sandwiches, chatted on to Mrs. Innisley. In such fashion the friendship be?un. Mrs. Innisley left them alone after a time. "We do this every afternoon," she said, a haud gesturing toward the laden tea table. "Such spoiled habits as I get into when Gloria comes! But she only comes once in ten years! "Dear thing! I'd come oftener if I had time." v.-as the answer. Gloria pulled. her ieet up under her, sank back against a pillow, and surveyed her young guest. Dora noticed that she was wearing a most extraordinary sown if gown it could be called, for it was was some sort of a Chinese robe not like a kimono at all, however, made with a lot of floating. chiffen, cut very low. and wrapped tightly around her small figure. Dora could see how thick and black and straight her hair was, and how snugly it lay around her finely modelled head. "It was nice of you to come in and talk to me," she said.

Robincam never ' stopped to "gossip," marveled at this repetition. She took everything literally. "But it's so odd you should want me to. I never say anything any one wants to listen to. she answered. "Darling child! What nonsense! with an indulgent laugh. "You say the most charming things. Most con versation is like dry bread without butter one only takes it when nothing better is offered. Tell me, what did you think of my book?" And this successfully started Dora into a little talk. She forgot some of her shyness, though she sat stiffly erect on the couch, and her handmoved nervously as she tried to get them out of her way. After a little, Gloria said impulsively: 'Tm sorry to have confused you and your cousin. Prom the things Morton said, I thought he was in love with you!" "No not that I mean with me, Dora answered, all the tightening com ing back again, her voice choking little. What could he have said? Mrs Gates caught something that made her wonder. But she led the talk away and at six Dora left, happy in her memory of the visit, dreading the late supper and the cross and hungry men at home. ' Tomorrow Gladys Returns. Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl;! fourteen years old and am consider-; ed good looking. I have gone to several lawn parties this summer with a certain boy and there have been several other boys who asked tio take me home. What should I tell these boys, or what should I have told them? If you go to a party with your sistd' or brother and a boy asks to take 1 you home, what should you say? Also ' with him and ask him to come again Please tell me what I should say when a boy has machine trouble? BOBBY You should have told the boys that . , .1 UliC tUUft JUU LU LUC pO.1 LJT CI j -j so you would go home with the same one. But you should have thanked them for asking you. If you go to a party with your sister or brother, you should return the same way. In case you have gone with your sister, the boy might want to: home. You should take both or you merely thank the boy for taking you home and ask him to come to see you sometime. When a boy has machine trouble it is best to say little. Sympathetic ; silence is more pleasing than chatter, j Dear Mrs. Thompson: We have a girl friend who is very kind and good natured, and she does not go with the boys, and she seems to do the right things in life. One of our mothers does not like this girl and will not allow us to go in her company. What can we do to get our mothers to like this girl? Black, and Blue Eyes. This is a hard matter to decide. You do not say , why your mothers object. Evidently there is a good reason. It may be well to follow your mothers' advice. The Theatres Murrette Theatre While Richard Barthelmess declares that beauty is not only requisite for a motion picture actress, he admits that it is not a disadvantage. This is apparent in his selection of Pauline Garon, the celebrated little beauty who is his leading lady in t'Sonny," which follows "The Seventh Day," in which Mr. 'Barthelmess is being starred by Inspiration Pictures under the direction of Henry King for release through Associated First National Pictures Inc. "Sonny"opened yesterday at. the Murrette theatre. Miss Garon created the leading feminnine part in George Hobart's play when it was presented on Broadway last winter. Her work in that role atracted so much attention that she has since appeared as leading lady in two photoplays. A sunflower sucks up 145 pounds of water during its growth.

Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes . ..." X. 1a - - r i- M&t 55 Has advent of the vacuum cleaner displaced the broom, and with it, the healthful exercises of sweeping? Such a fact may easily be assumed from the j number of inquiries I receive regardI ing special reduction. Many of them 'state: "I am not overweight, but I ! must reduce the size of mv hiDS." others ask help for thick shoulders, or full abdomens, and again come complaints and longings to be rid of extra flesh over the top of tha corset and around the waistline. Of course, if a woman is not overweight, but too large in certain parts ot the body, exercise or massage j should be her method of gaining sym-: "y. wsi wMM, who ao lurtu housework, will argue that their havj ing to move about many hours of each day affords them sufficient exercise. This is often true, but while they move they continue to grow stout, since they are not taking any exercise vigorous enough to help them reduce. .ftjL, c,!T,mDt noc;Kia Tv,iC JJ L .J ti 1U 1.UU11. I 1 I "will. MWt3t?l ll'w. U1 no argument against modern meth ods c- work. However, this saving of labor sometimes means a loss of valuable exercise. It may be pleasanter to join a gymnasium, or make a sport of such exercise as playing golf or tennis: but if none of these ODDortunities are available, there is always the broom and some nart of the house, or outdoors, for the exercise in sweeping. Wear loose clothing when you sweep, and keep an erect position. Sweep in long strokes and breathe deeply as oxygen helps to consume fat. The very thin woman will also gain through sweeping, as it will develop the arms, shoulders, back and all abdominal muscles. Sophie: There is nothing that will make straight hair permanently curly. There are fluids that draw the hair up into waves, but they are also supposed to coat the hair, which is not good for its health. . . In a recent Chat there was a formula for a curling fluid made from quince seed and gum tragacanth. I would advise you to try this. With it one forms the curls oneself, after having moistened the hair with a muscilage made from these gums. The hair is allowed to dry into the forms. after which all of muscilage may be broken up into particles and shaken out. This treatment will in no way injure the health of the hair. All Jnquiries addressed to Miss Forbes in care of the 'Beauty Chats" depart ment will be answered in these columns I in their turn. This requires consider- j able time, however, owing: tp the great j number received. So if a personal or i quicker reply is desired, a stamped and I self-addressed envelope must be en-J closed with the question. The Editor.
