Lowell, Mass.—“For the last three years I have
been troubled with the Change of Life and the bad
feelings common at that time. I was in a very ner

friend asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash?’ Well, 1 got
them and took about 10 bottles of Vegetable Compound and could

Dance
515
By GEORGE HASKELL
(Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)
“No, sir, I'll never consent to it!”
roared the elderly gentleman in the li
brary chair.
Dudgeon senior always roared when
he was angry. Justnow he was storm
ing like a regulation scene in a cheap
melodrama. Dudgeon junior, his only
son and heir, faced him without quail
ing. The young follow had an upward,
defiant tilt to his strong chin, and his
gray eyes looked straight Into those of
the angry man.
“But, father,” ho protested, “you
have not even soon her.”
“I don’t want to. You may not think
social position counts for anything, but
it does. ‘Albert Dudgeon’s son marries
the village dressmaker’—that would
look well in headlines, wouldn’t it?”
“I don’t care how it would look!” re
torted the young man.
“Well, I do, and I wou’t stand for
It.”
“Miss Aiken is not just a dressmak
er—though I shouldn’t care if she were
—she has great talent as a designer.”
“Hull!” snorted the other. “There
may he some of her gowns next week
at our dance.”
“I shouldn’t wonder,” was the quiet
answer.
“I would. Not on your life. They’ll
come from New York.”
“I’m not discussing gowns,” said
'Then I Must Have the First Dance.”
Dudgeon, Jr., “I’m discussing the girl
I love.”
“Then the discussion is closed^”
yelled his parent.
At young Dudgeon’s visit that eve
ning to Rose Aiken she drew from him
the gist of his interview with his fa
ther.
“Bert, dear, I—T can’t come between
you and your father—it would not be
right,” she said, trying to be very firm
and brave.
“I’d hate to go dead against dad—
I’m all lie has—but you’re more to me
than everything else in the world!”
When conservation was resumed he
added: “I have a little money of my
own, and I guess I can make my way
somewhere outside of the firm.”
“I wasn’t thinking of that,” she an
swered. “This little business is my
own, and it is building up wonderful
ly. Just think! I’ll have a hundred
dollar gown at your party next week!”
“Scott! Who’s going to wear it?”
“Miss Cursley. She has always
helped me by ordering tilings ever
since I started.”
“Grace Cursley is a brick!” cried
Dudgeon. “She’s a chum of mine, and
she knows how I feel about you!”
“She does!” exclaimed Rose in blank
surprise.
“Yes, and she stands by me. But
she knows how to keep a secret.”
“I’m afraid there won’t be any to
keep,” murmured the girl disconsolate
ly. “No, Bert, uo, I couldn’t do it!"
At this juncture the passionate pro
test, and broken, interrupted words
cannot be very intelligibly expressed.
The day of the dance arrived. It
was an event in the millionaire colony,
and Rose Aiken examined with dismay
the unfinished gown which should have
gone to Miss Cursley the day before.
Two of her best hands had been laid
off by illness, there was a great deal
of embroidery and fine work to be
done on the gown, and she was anxi
ously trying to finish it herself. The
Cursleys hud gone up to town rather
early this season, and Grace was
anything’s wrong. Nobody but you clan
fix it,” came through the ’phone.
Rose feeling that wild horses
couldn’t under any other circumstances
have dragged her to that house was
forced to promlsb.
Promptly at eight o’clock she was
admitted to Miss Curslcy’s room.
“It’s just dear of you to come,” she
smiled, dismissing the hairdresser.
“But no one will see yo\j. Things don’t
begin till about ten you know.”
Miss Cursley exclaimed delightedly
over the gown as she put it on.
Rose found alterations to make, in
fact, more than she lmd expected. She
worked busily, but it was getting near
ten when she had finished.
“Please put it on yourself,” implored
Grace. “I want to see it on ‘the living
model.’ ”
She was in a kimono, snugly en-
sconscd among cushions, and declared
she was too tired to move.
“Besides,” she added, “I want it to
lie just, right, so it can be a good ’ad’
for you.
“Stunning!” exclaimed Miss Cursley.
“And it just suits you!”
Rose began to undo the fastenings,
when suddenly there was a rush of
feet through the hall, and the cry of
fire . Both girls sprang to the door to
be greeted by stifling smoke ns they
ran out. Rose was for going back,
and closing the door, but the other
excitedly dragged her toward the stair
way. A mad rush of panic-stricken
guests behind her, swept her from her
feet. At that instant she felt a strong
anh lifting her back to the landing.
She looked up to see an elderly gentle
man, ’whom she at once recognized as
the muster of the house, quieting the
guests in firm authoritative tones.
There was not the slightest danger.
Something had burned up in the kitch
en, that was all. In his excitement he
was oblivious to the fact that he was
still holding tightly to the young lady
he bad rescued, In spite of her futile
efforts to wriggle away. He now apolo
gized, saying he hdppd to still further
smooth out matters down in the ball
room.
Rose murmured out something about
not being able to stay very long.
"Then I must have the first dance,”
he insisted. “You owe me that, you
know, for saving you a fall.”
The very admiring glance with which
this was accompanied, made Rose
promise, and she fled in confusion to
Miss Curslcy’s room.
Once inside she sank down laugh
ing, and told her the whole story.
“Of course, now, lie’ll be sure I’m n
villain, because I can’t keep my prom
ise.”
“O but you must!” said the other.
“Must!” echoed Rose blankly.
“Why yes. I don’t want to go down
before eleven I’d rather rest. You go,
and give Papa Dudgeon Ills dance. 1
wouldn’t miss this for a farm l” And
the girl went off into gales of laugh
ter.
“Bui someone will know me,” object
ed the other.
“They won’t get a chance to tell
him till you’re gone.”
Rose was game, and went down just
in time for her dance. She managed
to escape the notice of Dudgeon, Jr.,
till near the close of the dance she
caught Ills eye wide with startled
amazement. With difficulty she kept
from shaking with laughter.
The moment his father had smiling
ly bowed his thanks, Bert was at her
side.
“Quick!” she cried, “let me get out
of here. This is worse than the Cin
derella stunt. I’ve got to be away be
fore eleven, and not even a pumpkin
coach.”
On the way upstairs, she explained
to her dazed escort, who with sup
pressed chuckles, a few minutes later,
put her in his ear, and took her home,
with a promise to let her know the
outcome.
The next day he told her how a
catty woman had revealed to his fa
ther the identity of his partner, and.
how Miss Cursley had rallied to Rose's
defense, saying her family was as good
as anyone’s there, and ended by telling
the whole story. At this instant a fig
ure loomed up in the door way, and
the culprits faced Dudgeon, Sr.
“Nice little business you have hex’V.
Miss Aiken,” he said briskly. “SorP^
to ask you to give it up. But my sou
prefers to support his wife.”
