Van De Water WOMAN'S intuition is proverbial, and Helen Robbins arid her share of it. It mvv have been this occult power that made her sus pect that her uncle had been to see Beatrice Minor Or perhaps the elderly man looked a bit conscious when Beatrue's name was next mentioned to him by his niece. At all events. Helen took aLarm swiftly, and. after some moments of rapid thinking, determined that her own Interests and those of her chilren should not be sacrificed to her wealthy relative's fancy for a pretty widow. She could not prevent his going to Beatrice's home, but she could arrange to have another man fill her field of vision so completely that the older and less attractive admirer would be rele gated tn the background With this aim in view, she called up Beatrice and asked her tn accompany it, and twilit grass starred with vague white flowers, dim trees, music somewhere, great frosty stars, a nightingale singing (even if there aren't any tn the country her and Mr. Robbins to the theater the following Saturday night, and. re ceiving her assent, she telephoned to Robert Maynard and asked him to make a fourth in their little party. He accepted promptly, but asked "Who .is to be the fourth? Your niece?" "Oh. no!” exclaimed Mrs Robbins. "You were very kind to devote your self to the child at my dinner, but' I would not think of Imposing her upon you a second time within a fortnight. Mrs. Minor Is to accompany us. I wish you knew her better. She is really a most unusual woman, with a beau tiful mind, and, by the way, she likes you very much." The man laughed pleasedly, his van ity gratified. "I am glad to hear that, for I found her charming.” So the matter was arranged, and when Beatrice stepped from the eleva tor in her apartment house on Satur day night, having been informed by toe hall boy that Mr. and Mrs. Robbins were waiting for her. she was aston ished and pleased to see that Robert Maynard wag with them. "Why. how delightful!” she ex claimed- cordially. "We are a nice quartette, aren't we?" A Merry Time. It was natural that Robert should act as her escort, and he was so pleas ant and Helen and her husband were -■> jolly, that Beatrise assured herself that she was going to have a good time. She was not disappointed. The plav 'as well acted and interesting, and between the acts—those difficult and boring periods--Robert Maynard prov d himself a good comrade, and the conversation was brilliant and spirited. \s the curfMn fell upon the last act lie turned to his friends and insisted that they should accompany him to the Plaza for supper. Helen looked at hot husband for his consent, and he nodded his approval of the suggestion. Bi titrice beamed with anticipatory pleasure.

His words and tone brought a new light to her eyes and a brighter color to her cheeks, and more than one per son turned to look at the pretty woman as she crossed the broad corridor and entered the dining room. Life seemed transformed for her tonight. The strains of the orchestra filled her with delicious emotion, and her past, with Its bitter disappointments, and her present every-day existence, with its struggles to economize and Its sordid commonplaceness, fell from her, and she felt as if she were stand ing on the threshold of a new and beautiful world. Helen, seeing the result of her mach inations, rejoiced, and her satisfaction made her more agreeable than. ever, while her husband, noting her mood, fitted his to it. They were a merry party, and it was, on the whole, a sat isfactory evening for all concerned. The viands were delicious, and Robert May nard ordered them and the champagne with an abandon that made Beatrice wonder if he had not more money than had the average man of her acquaint ance. As she thought this, she breathed a sigh of content, then caught herseif up sharply as she appreciated that she was once again contemplating the pos sibility of this man’s asking her to marry him. She would not allow her fancies to stray in this direction, for, perhaps, after all. this devoted manner of his was only his wgy with all wom en whom he chanced to know. The thought brought with it a pang, and a sober look came to her face. May nard observed ft, and, leaning toward her, asked suddenly: "Are you forgetting your bargain?" Beatrice started guiltily, then she laughed. "What bargain?” she queried. "We promised to ignore this evening the unhappy past, you know," chided the man. “I was not thinking of It," declared Beatrice. "What were you thinking of?" asked Maynard. But she laughed and shook her head. "I can't tell you!” she exclaimed. A Promise. "Will you tell me some time?" he urged. "Perhaps." “When?” The woman looked at him. moved by a sudden impulse. "When I know you well enough to find that I was mistaken in what I was thinking?” she promised. "What are you two • conspiring about?" demanded Helen suddenly. She and her husband had been deciding in low tones that it was time for sober, sensible people to turn their faces homeward "Whatever it Is, it has ab sorbed you so deeply that you have not noticed the hour. It is so late we must go home!” And, rising from her sent, she and her husband started toward the door, while the other couple reluc tantly followed them.

LET THE MATTER DROP. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young boy, sixteen years old. Last summer I met a girl the same age. We were very friendly. When I' came to the city she gave me her watch., and we kept corresponding for a month. Then she wrote and asked me for her watch, and I sent It to her. New Year's I sent her a card and received no answer. Then I wrote and asked her if she was angry, and did not get any answer. E. V. You are too young to begin the girl troubles every susceptible man accumu- . lat?s at some time in his life. The watch incident was a foolish one. Now that you have returned It, let your acquaintance with the girl end. Re member that no man ever laid a good foundation for future advancement by devoting his best years to “calf” love. GIVE HIM UP. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have known a young man for about three months, and he -was very atten tive for the first two, sending me a beautiful Christmas present. One even ing I teased him about some other young men calling, and since then he, has never been the same, though at the-' time I didn't think he minded. I have! met him several times since at dancesw and parties, but he never asked me to call any more. X. Y. Z. If he took offense -when none was tn-, tended, and chooses to sulk about it, ( put him out of your mind. The girt' with the sulky lover is unhappy; mar-‘ rlage to such a man Is a tragedy. IT CERTAINLY WOULD. Dear Miss Fairfax: There is a young man who Is em ployed by the firm I used to work for. I love him dearly, and, although I have reason to believe he cares for me a little, I am almost positive he does not love me as I love him. I went out with hint once last summer. Once or twice I have asked him to come to the house. He never promised, and always had a very plausible excuse. I would like to know whether It would be very wrong for me to tell him I love him. M. A. K. The young man has given no evidence he cares for you, and such an avowal from you would only humiliate you. If you can not forget him, at least do not commit the folly of letting him know you have given your love unsought. I am sure your only hope of winning him lies In showing him your absolute in difference. a fs, Is
