Chapters From a Woman's Life By Jane Phelps
Synopsis of Preceding Chapters 1 " Walter Page, an irtist, annoys bis Ivife, Doreen, by evincing interest in his model Helen Relstrom. His mother, who is making the couple a visit, also dislikes Helen. Grace Harter, an "old flame" of Walter's, tries to aiJ Doreen through placing Helen in embarrassing situations. Doreen, however, isn't quite cure of Grace's honesty, although she likes her. Walter plans a new picture with Helen as a model. His mother openly disapproves. Grace leaves mysterious phone messages with Helen at Page's studio. She also urgt-s Walter to givo a studio costume party. Mrs. Page U taken ill and Doreen decides to remain with her. Grac.-?, at the last moment, borrows Doreen's costume.
tell you about the party. But I had to
get Helen Ralstrom out of my system first." For an hour Grace told of all that was eaid and done, and when she left I felt almost as if I had been there She told it so well, made fun so good naturedly, was so clever in her desciptions that I went back to Mrs. Page feeling less abused because he, illness had kept me at home.
GRACE
GIVES AN ACCOUNT OF
THE DANCE Chapter 31 "You should have been there, Doreen!" Grace said, a3 we settled ourselves for a comfortable chat. -It really was a lovely party. Claire Gordon looked stunning. She was dressed as a troubadour. I. never saw her look o well and all the costumes were lovely. Walt is a born iiost." "What did Helen wear?" I asked. "I'm getting to that! Generalities (first. You told me Walt said she was jgoing as Night or something, until he !told her you were going as a gypsy. 'Of -course she was too clever to le:
ime know that she made the change on that account. I'd like to know what
iehe told him. Well, never mind. 1 I was a. bit late because of coming here .after your costume; so I sort of sneak,td ia. When Helen Ralstrom saw me, ' I give you my word she turned green ; with envy. She wasn't one, two, six, as far as the costume went." t "Mine was the best I could find," I , said regretfully. I had so wanted to go to Walter's party. "Well, it may have been catty in Wf," Grace went on, "but I took particular pains to stand close to Helen, under a good light too." she said, "and 1 wish you could have heard her -voice it was vinegar, undiluted. "It's rather unfortunate we should
both have chosen gypsy costumes,' The studio happened to be rather quiet just then and. I replied, loud enough for most of them to hear: "Isn't it too bad we are dressed alike! Walter said he told you Doreen
was to come as a gypsy; and that you
said you were to be Moonlight, or Starlight, or something very different. As Doreen couldn't come I borrowed her costume, sure no one would have one like, it, as Walt knew what everone was going to wear. Strange you should have decided to double up after hearing what she was to wear." "I don't see how you dared," I said laughing.
"I wish you could have seen her face especially after Claire, who had heard every word, said: 'Doreen certainly chose the handsomest costume. It quite puts yours in the shade, Helen. Aid you look stunning in it, Grace I tell you, Doreen. if looks could kill, both Claire and I would have died on the spot." I was ashamed of myself, but I couldn't help feeling glad. Helen could have had but one object in choosing a gypsy costume aftc 'Walter told her of my decision to outshine me. V had served her right. I said something of this to Grace. "Wait! She had another blow. Wai-
. ter was busy when I went in. but
after a moment he saw me and said. 'Why, Grace! I shall have to sketca you in that costume. You're perfectly stunning! I was goiug to make . .i jgketch of Helen, but you make a far "better gypsy than she does. She "should have stuck to her original idea. Oh. it was rich, Doreen!" "I should say so. What did she do. go home?" I thought perhaps anger might have driven her away. "Not her! She pretended to laugh -,off, said something about being disappointed in her costume, so had gotten together a gypsy affair, easy to
obtain as the costumers had loads cf Romany costumes. She said she hated to appear in it, because there wa nothing original abour. it." "Meow " I mimicked, laughing. "Yes, two cats, ar-m't we? But I was determined not to let her put it over you, and I had the best, of it. Walter's speech proved that. Now I'll
IT'S THE PIN PRICKS THAT HURT Chapter 32 ' I often scolded myself for allowing so many things to 'vorry me. Mrs. Page was critical, "n.eddling" I callel it in by thoughts. The dog annoyed
me. Every time I heard her call that j toy dog "Fido" I felt like throwing j things. Jennie's complaints about! waiting on a dog and- a cranky old woman worried me, as it would be impossible for me to take any sort of care of Mrs. Page; suit her in any way should Jennie leave me. Mrs. Page, knowing I had but one maid., expected the service and the style of a well equipped household with many servants. She never condoned the slightest thing because of lack of help. And since her slight illness she had been even more difficult. At times I was almost in despair. Only to Claire Gordon did I speak of this, however, although I knew Grace Harter was aware of it. Her sharp inquisitive eyes missed nothing. Then at times I was terribly anxious
about Walter. COsesied' v. ith the itK;i that he was with H?in Ralstrom mor-j
than it was wise for him to be knowing his temperament The demands of his mother kept me from being with him as much as I might otherwise have been and I ield this against her, so increasing my dislike for her. When she first came Walter had been very punctilious, had come to his meals promtply, or riven a good excuse. He had taken us out often and

as the weeks went by, this attitude irked him I saw it plainly and he often remained out late. Then, if either she or I spoke of it, he would become impatient. Her presence in the house was an old- story to him. One morning she had been unusually difficult, had angsrrd Jennie, and had found fault with me, my manage ment of the house, my lack of knowledge of the more elaborate mattercpertaining to home keeping. When she talked in that way I never made any reply. I knew my faults were many, but with one maid I could not satisfy her, and what was the use of
discussing the thing until we both be-j came annoyed. Naturally there were some points of household etiquette with which I was unfamiliar. I had been brought up ia simple homely fashion, and while I had learned mucn since living in New York. I still had
much to acquire before I would be what she called a "perfect hostess." As she was in tha midst of telling me what I should do the bell rang and Claire Gordon breezed in "I Thave come to lake you down to see Mrs. Eldredge ag-iin, Doreen," sh? said. "Take Mrs. Page instead," I said. "She will enjoy the ride and also meet ing Mrs. Eldredge." I gave Claire a pleading look, which she at once understood. "Do come, Mrs. Page." she urged. "I'm sure you will be delighted with
my e'ear invalid." "Thank you, it wiii be a pleasure to get away for a few hours," she replied, with a withering glance at me. "It will give Doreen an opportunity to do some of the things we have talked of: insist upon that maid of hers knowing her place for one thing." "Does any servant know that nowadays?" Claire returned with a gay laugh. "Ours doesn't. Mother gets almost frantic at times, and talks of the old days before the var long before, when servants were devoted to their employers, willing rnd efficient It must be a problem when one can keep but one maid." Then: "I don't want
to flurry you, out :ur.. eldredge Is s3 disappointed if I do not spend 'some time with her, we'd better start " Mrs. Page left the room to put on her wraps, and Claire said gleefully: "I didn't give her a chance to ans
wer, did I, Doreen? I believe if you weren't so afraid of her you would get along easier." "Perhaps," I replied. "But I felt as if I should scream at her when you came in. She is so unreasonable. You
would think to hear her demands that I had a trained lot of servants, cook, butler and maids, Instead of one poor little Irish girl. Do keep her away as long as you can." I finished just a;

"You don't object lo my taking the

"The air will do him good and th'3

"Bring him, by aii means, he will amuse Mrs. Sldredge. She is fond of

at me.

A friend in Paris has been sending me long letters full of the most fascinating suggestions for pretty things
that any girl can make for herself. Alas, the best suggestion of all comes too late to be useful as a Christmas gift idea so you must be selfish and utilize it as a post-holiday gift for yourself. The letter is all about hand bags
and vanity purses. The newr vanity purse is just large enough to hold powrder and puff, a mirror, with a place for change, and perhaps a bill o rso. 'One could get in a lipstick and the tinest of nail files, but nothing more. Pouch bags are not gone, but going. The new bag is flat and . is shaped somewhat like an envelope. Do you want to make a beauty, such as my friend described?. It is simple
enough. Take a length of black moire ribbon the newest thing for bags. The length depends upon the ribbon's width. Fold it on itself three times and use enough to make the hesulLing shape pretty about three-quarters of t yard does it. Cut a bid of modcrate stiff cancas a little shorter and narrower than the ribbon and lay it on as an inner lining, and lay on the
same length of white moire ribbon as you have black. Whipstitch or machine stitch the edges closely to gether, fold into three parts, fike an nvelope, whipping two of them to-

when we got Inside I realized he had been drinking. He was not drunk, but he talked and laughed a lot and it , was easy to smell the wine or whatever it was he had had. I was ter- ! ribly ashamed to be there with him. j When it was time to go home my girl
friend's father said he would drive me home and it would not be necessary for me to go with the boy who took me. He didn't like this a bit and since then he hasn't asked to take me anywhere. My girl friend's mother told my mother about him and now mother says I cannot go with him
again even it he asks me. Do you think it is fair to turn down a boy just because he has been drinking? TRYING TO FORGET. The boy was anything bat a gentleman. In the first place he knew he was going to the party with you
and therefore it was unpardonable for him to appear as he did. Besides he owes you an apology and is decidedly ungentlemanly to resent the fact that your girl fiend's father tool: you home when he was not in condition to do so. Yes, I think your mother is right in advising you to have nothing more to do with him. Aim higher.
