SANDRA THE JEALOUS
a new serial story by
JANE PHELPS.
Author of “The Promoter’s Wife,” and Other Stories.
(Copyright by George Mathew Adams.)
SANDRA LUNCHES ALONE WITH
5 BARRETT EDMONDS.
CHAPTER XXXIX.
’THE house was awfully lonely.
1 The evening seemed endless.
1 had not thought I should miss Ev
ett as I did. But the excitement
of dressing for him; watching until
he came in to dinner, then either
talking a while or playing for him
unless we out had filled the
hours fuller than I had realized.
I didn’t bother to dress for my
solitary dinner which I soon finished.
Someway I couldn’t get up any en
thusiasm about my music afterward.
1 went to bed unusually early but
instead of sleeping, I lay thing of
all that I had been told of Leola -and
of Barrett Edmonds.
“Would I have been happier if 1
had married a young man like him?
I asked myself, then felt guilty to
ward Everett, and ashamed of my
thoughts. Everett was my husband.
No one made m e marry him; I did
it because I wanted to; because I
thought him a little finer clay than
the village boys, and felt flattered
by his gifts and his attentions.
I had known for some time that I
was not in love with Everett the way
I was supposed to be. But I had
also thought that my ideas of love,
mostly taken from books, were
wrong. That it was only for people
like Leola that men had such love;
and that women only had that kind
of adoration when a man was very
kind and indulgent. That it was
a woman’s duty to love the man she
married, and his to support her, had
also been one of the things which
never had entered my head until I
heard Mrs. Gray say so. She had
been talking to Hetty. It was about
some young girl friend who had mar
ried and then, because she was not
happy and did not love the man she
had married, had left him.
“It’ s a woman’s duty to love her
husband,” Mrs. Gray had said. “He
supports her, and gives her a home.”
“But she can’t love him if he isn’t
nice to her,” Hetty had objected.
“She can if she will stop thinking
of herself, and think, of him. The
trouble with women is they don’t
make any allowance for a man. They
have lots of temptation women don’t
have. And most of them work
hard. Women ar e silly to keep
thinking about being loved all the
time.
Were they? ,
I kept asking myself that question.
I did so want to be loved—really
loved like Leola had been, not in the
cold calm way Everett acted toward
me. Only once had he shown me any
of that sort of affection, and that
had been the night of my birthday
when h e had crushed me in his arms.
But he had gone away for days and
left m e with one little careless kiss,
and evidently no regret. That
hadn’t been the way he left Leola,
I knew.
Friday cam e but Alice telephoned
me she had a terrible healche and
couldn’t go to luheheon.
“You go right along,” she said.
“Barry called up and said he wa s go
ing to join us.”
“No, Iwon’t go—yes, I will too. I
do wish you’d come.”
“If my head is better I may change
my mind. I don’t know that it is
safe to let you and Barry alone. He’s
half in love with you already. First
thing you know he’ll be asking you
to run off with him..”
■The idea of putting such things
into my head,” 1 laughingly replied.
Now you’ll have to come! I shall
be uncomfortable if you do not.”
Nonsense, I was only joking. But
he does like you awfully well. He’s
a charming fellow, and many a girl
would like him as an escort.”
I dressed with the greatest care.
1 was purposely a litt’e late. Bar
jett was there and met me at the
oor. We went in together after I
a< satisfied myself that Mrs. Sloane
was not in the dressing room.

POOR Betty came home in tears
yesterday afternoon, she had
been to see little Marjorie Denton
and Betty lost her temper over
something Marjorie said and, as I
understand it, finally told her all
she, Marjorie, thought of in her life
was boys, clothes, and the polish
on her finger nails. Betty said
she had been standing in front of
the mirror manicuring her nails,
and admiring herself in her new
dress and saying—“It isn’t half as
pretty as yours, is it?” and mean
ing “it’s much prettier.” “And it
was,” said Betty, mournfully. It

View From High Points.
At mountain stations, where one Is
above the greater part of the lower,
dust-laden layers of the atmosphere,'
more stars are visible than at sea
level. Some recent observations at Mt.
Wilson by Van der Bilt show that
the limit of unaided vision there, with
out even the aid of screens to
shut off the light of the sky, is at
about the seventh magnitude—that is,
the faintest stars that can be seen on
the mountain are two and one-half
times brighter than can be seeA at sea
level.

ZIRON Iron ionic Proved The Right Remedy
For This And Other Troubles.
"Sometime back", writes W. T. Pal
mer, of Soperton, Ga., “I was In a run
down state. My nerves were all torn
to pieces. It was an effort for me to
do my work. I did not rest well at
nights. I felt tired when morning
came, and didn’t feel like starting the
day. My skin was muddy. My appe
tite was floor. I felt very much in
need of a tonic. I thought It was th*
lack of iron and decided to try Ziron,
as I heard there was no better tonie
made. I began taking It and can safe
ly and gladly say It did me a world of
good. Ziron is a good all-around tonic
for young and old, and makes one feel
that life is worth living.”
Ziron is an iron tonic which gives
quick, dependable strength. You need
It to put rich, red, iron-medlcated
blood into your blood vessels, to steady
four nerves, put fresh color into your
cheeks and brightness into your eyes.

Scorched!
It will happen at times under the eyes, even, of the most
responsible of housewives.
It may be an overheated iron, or momentary forgetfulness
—but the damage is done. The garment may be scorched
beyond all further usefulness. At the very least a mark is
left that no washing can ever erase.
Such scorching occurs in the home because irons must be
heated by fire and electricity that attain high temperatures
But it cannot take place when you send your Dry Cleaning
and Pressing to us.
Our presses are all heated by steam which never becomes
hot enough to scorch. If you were to hold a gossamer silk
over the steaming spout of your hot water kettle, the
steam would not damage the fabric. We use the same
steam in our laundry.
With its help we are able to give a beautiful lustre to your
work with never a brown tinted scar to mar it.
We do your Dry Cleaning and Pressing this steam-heated
way if you send your bundle to us.
Our driver will be glad to call.

the story of Charlie Ross —how he
