HUNTING A HUSBAND N 0 4 PROSPECTIVE SUITOR FOR THE WIDOW’S HAN D UP as A By Virginia T. Van De Water
A WEEK had passed since the Rob-
Z-\ bins' dinner, and Beatrice found
herself bored to death. It was
a new experience to her, for, although
lonely at times, she had always been
able to interest herself in her children,
her needlework or her books. Now,
since her taste of social life, the exist
ence which she had led since her hus
band's death seemed flat, stale and un
profitable.
She dressed the children herself each
day and took them to kindergarten.
Then the morning lay before her. un
enlivened by a prospect of any bright
ness for the afternoon or evening. She
thought of many of her women ac
quaintances whom she might ask to go
out to luncheon with her, or to accom
pany her to the matinee in the after
noon. but the idea brought with It no
thrill.
She began to appreciate that when a
woman has allowed herself to enjoy the
look of admiration in a man's eyes, she,
unconsciously at first to herself, wants
to repeat the experience. But how
could she And away of meeting Robert
Maynard again?
She asked herself this question often,
and it was uppermost in her mind one
evening when, as she sat alone in her
little drawing room—the children hav
ing gone to bed—she heard her apart
ment door bell ring, and, as it was the
maid's evening out, went to the door

Aside from the pleasure derived from wearing dia
monds, there are few investments as profitable, and, at
the same time, as safe.
Prices have advanced cotinually until they are now
more than twice as great as a few years ago. The fac
tors affecting their value are becoming more and more
complex from year to year, and there is absolutely no
doubt but that they will continue to rise in value.

herself. To her surprise Mr. Blanchard,
Helen Robbins' -'Uncle Henry," stood
there smiling.
"Why!” exclaimed the astonished
woman. "Come in! I did not expect to
see you tonight!"
It was a banal and trivial remark to
make and Beatrice felt herself flush
hotly as she appreciated that she must
appear like a fool. But her visitor,
noting her rising color, experienced a
glow of gratified vanity, attributing the
blush to her delight at seeing him.
He Happened to Pass.
"Well," he said, as he pulled off his
overcoat. "I happened to be passing
and, remembering that you had told me
the other night where you lived. I
thought I’d stop in and see you for a
few minutes.”
'That was kind of you,” Beatrice
said cordially, now sufficiently recov
ered from her surprise to be once more
mistress of the situation. "Do sit down
and talk to me Before you'came I was
lonely and wishing that something nice
would happen, and, you see, It has!”
The elderly man beamed happily. He
was 65 years of age and had often been
obliged, as he expressed it sometimes,
“to look lively to escape scheming moth
ers and marriageable daughters," for It
was known that he had a neat little
fortune, with nobody dependent upon
him. But his niece knew this also, and
had resolved that said fortune should,
when Uncle Henry should die, come to
her and her children; therefore she
watched him as something too precious
to be allowed to fall a victim to schem
ing womankind.
She had thought It would please him
to be asked to her and, one of
the men invited falling ill, she had put
her relative into his place. She had
seated him next to Beatrice, not to
please him, but to punish the latter for
her resentment with regard to her
hostess’ match-making schemes and to
pique her Info being kinder to Robert
Maynard. Failing this, she had
thought that her husband's little niece,
Maude Spaulding, could do Worse than
to make a match with Maynard, even
If their ages were so unequal.
But Helen Robbins did not look far
enough ahead to consider that she
might be making future trouble for
herself in introducing the case-hard
ened and unimpressionable old bachelor
to a young and attractive widow.
Women seldom take into consideration
a widow's fascinations. Men seldom
forget or ignore them.
To do Beatrice justice, she had not
thought of Mr. Blanchard as a possible
suitor until this evening. Then, as he
said, with a twinkle in his eyes, “I
didn't mention to Helen that I was
thinking of coming to see you. for she
has never been much pleased at my
going to call on the ladies." a sudden
idea flashed through Beatrice’s mind.
If Helen knew that her uncle had
called here she Would fancy that he
was already in danger of being snap
ped up by an enterprising widow. Ri
diculous! mused Beatrice. As if any
woman in her senses would marry this
plain-looking. though kind-hearted,
man, old enough to be her father!
His First Half-Dollar.
But Helen would not think that such
a thing was oqt of the question, and
the widow decided that since she was so
weary of loneliness that she found
even this visitor a welcome break in
‘the monotony of a dull evening, it was
as well that Mr. Blanchard should not
tell his niece of his venturesome expe
dition. Therefore she laughed with
him, as he spoke of his secretiveness,
and listened courteously while he ram
bled on with reminiscences of bls boy
hood and of how he had made his first
half-dollar as an errand boy. Yes, Hel
en decided, he was an agreeable inci
dent, which she preferred to the soli
tary and uneventful hours which were
often hers after the balms were asleep
When he spoke of going, she sug
gested that before his departure he
might honor her by having a glass of
wine and some fruit cake. "I always
keep sherry and some old-fashioned
fruit cake In the house." she explained
to him, "just as my mother and grand-

"Yes. indeed, child. I will take some

"Perhaps," said Beatrice, "I have had

"playing up” to the part that the k;ind

repeated this assertion to herself after

told her good-night and asked if he
might call again.
"And I couldn't explain that I don't

at the reflection, noting her bright eyes

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO ASK YOU.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen and have been keeping
company for one year with a man one
year my senior. We broke up some
time ago, as I had told him I didn’t
care for him. 1 now realize I really
love him, and do not know how to gain
his love again. J. M. J.
Don’t go to him and tell him bluntly
that you love him. Ask him to call;
tell him you want to be friends, and
with your intercourse re-established on
a friendly footing the opportunity of
letting him know you love him will soon
come But be wise enough to make him
seek the avowal before you make It.

Anty Drudge Tells How to Avoid
Sunday Soaking.
Mrs. Hurryup— “l always put my clothes to soak on Sun
day night. Then I get an early start on Monday and
get through washing by noon. I don’t consider it
breaking the Sabbath, for cleanliness is next to god
liness, you know.”
Anly Drudge— “ Yes, but godliness comes first, my dear.
And you should keep the Commandments. Get a cake
of Fels-Naptha and you won’t have to soak your
clothes over night, and your washing will be all done
by noon ; without boiling, without hard work and with
more satisfaction than any other way.”
Rotijrh, red hands arc the trial of most
housewives. “I don’t mind the work if I
coidd only keep my hands nice,” sighs the
young woman.
You will have less work and nice hands
at the same time if you use Fels-Naptha
soap in washing clothes. Hot water chaps
the hands; hard-rubbing on the washboard
swells the knuckles. Using Fels-Naptha in
cold or lukewarm water, you have neither
hot water, hard-rubbing nor nauseous
steam. But Fels-Naptha must be used the
Fels-Naptha way—no boiling.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.
YOU HAVE THAT PRIVILEGE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty, and have been out West
for the past year There I met a young
man of my own age whom I like very
much, and I know he likes me. Now,
we have had a quarrel, because he Is
of a jealous disposition, but we were
both at fault. I left the city, and he
has not my address. LILLIAN.
There would be nothing wrong In
writing, provided you made the letter a
friendly one and nothing more. It will
give him your address, and if tie loves
you he will reply. If he falls to write,
do not write him again. Let. the matter
end there.
