THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE * Hunting a Husband T NO. 11-REMEMBERING MAYNARD’S CRUELTY TO THE HORSE, THE WIDOW TREATS HIM COOLLY. THE night after her drive with Robert Maynard, Beatrice slept poorly During the evening she had been able to put from her thoughts the finale to the events of the after noon, hut when her objective mind sank to rest with her weary body the sub conscious mind began to work, and in her dreams' sne saw the set, white face of the angry man and heard the hiss of the lash as it descended upon the quiv ering and frightened horse. She awoke with a gasp, thinking for a moment that it had been all a dream; then remembered the disagreeable epi sode, and fell asleep at last, only to dream of It aga.in She arose the foilowing morning weary and heavy-eyed. She was dis appointed in the man whom she had begun to regard with mo e than ordi nary warmth of feeling His lack of »elf-control was more odious to her be catif*' it reminded her of Toms occa sional ebullitions of temper under the Influence of liquor, and the remem brance added to her discomfort Not twice, she declaied. would a sane wom an give her happiness into the keeping of a drinking man. Yet, even while she made this mental statement, came creeping into herbrain the question--was Robert Maynard really tvhat could be called a drinking man? He did not look ii. for his eyes anti skin were clear, his manner alert and yet calm, his hand and voice steady. Although sh<’ had seen hint drink a glass of wine at Helen Rob bins' dinne;. and a highball at the afi •er-thcater supper, he had taken no •more than did any other man present •at either time. Perhaps, she mused, he only drank when with some boon com panions like Rossiter, but. even so, a wife would never know when her hus "band might meet such a companion, ■and she would always be dreading it ■No a man who could co far forgo •himself was not the kina of a man for •her to consider as a possible husbant*. He Sends No Word. Several days passed without any •word from Maynard Beatrice had •fancied ’hat perhaps he would send her •s note of apolog.', o: some flowers, or ’some token of his repentance She •had even pondered in her mind as to whether to receive such atM’ances with cold disapproval or with pitying for giveness. She was piqued to find neither course necessary. and this smouldering resentment against May nard added warmth to her welcome to Henry Blanchard when he called on the ■fourth evening after her experience •with Maynard "I'ncle Henry'' had sent her no word of his return from his business trip, and she wa> secretly a bit amused to note that he took it for granted that she would be at home and disengaged. Rut he, at all events, she reflected, was a nice, honest-hearted, sober man. Her displeasure with the Aunt Sally’s Advice To Beauty Seekers Lydia says: "I've tried most every thing for my freckles but can’t lose them What do you suggest "" See answer to "Stella." The treatment sug gested I've never known to tail in any case of freckles or other cutaneous blemish. P J. K. asks: "Is there anything bet ter than massage to remove wrinkles?" Too much massaging may aggravate a ■wrinkled condition, tending to soften and loosen the tissue. I advise bath ing the face in an astringent lotion made b? dissolving an ounce of pow - dered saxoiite in a half-pint of witch bagel. This is remarkably effective. Stella writes "My complexion is horribly muddy What shall Ido for It?" Get an ounce of metcolized wax at your druggist's.

"How good it is to see you again!” was so cordial that Blanchard decided that she was an unusually attractive and de lightful woman. "I thought you might not mind see ing me," he admitted with a gratified smile "1 just got hack from Boston this afternoon. 1 ran in to see Helen right after dinner, but told her I had a call to make and could not stay. She asked me where I was calling, but I pretended not to hear her and to be ab sorbed in discussing the political situa tion with her husband. Then I came away before she had a chance to ask t me again. She's a good girl, but a bit Inquisitive at times " "That's because she's so fond of you,” said Beatrice. "I'm sure if I had as nice an uncle as you I would like to | know about him and his affairs.” "I always fancy she’s just a little jealous," said Blanchard "I would not say so to most people, but I feel that you re to be trusted—so I acknowledge that I tiiink often that Helen would rather I didn't go to see any of the la dies Perhaps"—with a ehurckle— "she s afraid I might, even at my age. get into my head the notion of marry ing and setting up an establishment of mv own." The speech was made apparently in fun. and Beatrice was annoyed to feel herself blushing consciously. She spoke hastily and at random. "W ell, and if you did; I suppose that is your own business, isn't it?” she queried. Again her companion chuckled. More Embarrassment. "That's about the way it looks to me he agreed. "But I suppose Helen thinks it would be very foolish for an old codger like me to marry—for she considers me really old." "But you're not!” declared Beatrice, eagerly. "You seem to me to be Just in .the prime of life." To hide her embarrassment she had spoken without thought, and her com panion looked at her happily. "Then you really think," he said with a pleased laugh, "that a man of my age has a right to ask a young woman to consider seriously the subject of mar riage to him?” But Beatrice was not obliged to reply to this leading question, for, to her relief, the telephone bell rang sharply I and she hastened Into the hall In oberif ente to Its summons. She was amused to hea- Helen's voice. "Beatrice, dear," she said, "I have not hoard from you for some days, and I am just calling up to know if you are well and what you are doing with your self." Beatrice was aware that her friend's I seeming solicitude was the result of tier I suspicions as to where her bachelor . relative was spending his evening, and het desire to assure herself that he ' was not in the presence of the attrac tive widow. So Beatrice talked rapidly • and lightly of one matter after another, cleverly keeping Helen from asking nny direct question. It was a nice bit of ! fencing, but the widow did her part so I well that when the conversation ended I Helen knew no more of her uncle's I whereabouts than when it began Nor had Beatrice called Helen by name, using instead the convenient "my dear,” which might apply to any friend. So ' Henry Blanchard, overhearing the con versation, did not suspect that his wily niece had been attempting to spy upon his movements He Calls Her.

"I seem to he tn demand this evening, just when I would 1 like a quiet talk with you,” she went once again into the hall and put the re i reiver to her ear.

A real vacation should restore the mental and physical equilibrium by giving the worn-out body or brain a restful chance to recuperate. Many people believe that the great est rest one can gel Is in a complete change of activity, but the energetic person—-that girl who never stops in her game of pleasure or her conscien tious work -will find a complete rest is a more thorough going change than anything she rw knew before. It’s bettc: for her than exchanging office work for golf nr . bib committees and bridge for rowing or gardening.

This girl, fragile and delicate and innocent as a flower, japable. capable of murder! Yet juries in England are not impressed by such things. "But who else can have done it?" Al most as though she knew his thoughts, Betty turned and put the question. A change had come over her manner since that startled admission had been wrung from her. and she spoke and held herself with a quiet dignity that had something inexpressibly touching in its calm "You know what you saw. There were only you and I In that room. Jack. Oh, the hideousness of it—to waken, as it were, from sleep and know that one is stained! I can’t realize it. Surely in the sight of heaven I am not guilty, for it was not my fault—say it was not my fault!" Her broken cry, like the cry of a child aghast at the first revelation of pain, struck at Rimlngton’s heart like a blow. “Your fault! And if it were a hun dred times your fault, what would it mat ter?" he cried out with sudden passion. “I love you—l love you!" His arms were about her, and for a moment she almost yielded, almost suf fered herself to be drawn once more into the shelter of their embrace. Bui she did not yield. She drew away from him with a cry. Dreadful Thoughts. "What are you saying? What have you done? You -have almost made me forget what I am—that I have a man’s blood, on my hands." "But that is what you must do," he whispered. "Forget this madness. This Is not the way out—no one must ever hear so much as a whisper of your pres ence in Tempest street that night." As before he had striven by every sug gestion he knew to draw this girl back to a memory of that night’s happenings, so now, hy every art that love could teach him, Rimington strove to reassure the girl. What was the safety of the man in prison, he asked himself, of this self-con fessed thief. Levasseur, compared with Betty—her life, her happiness, her repu tation! In a horrible lightning vision he saw Betty dragged at the wheels of pub licity—the central figure in a cause celebre; saw the court with its eager, ghoulish, spectators—the aw’ful notoriety of the illustrated press. "Can t you trust me, Betty? I, who saw you—l, who know" — All the old arguments he had used to himself to prove her innocence over and over again, convincing himself afresh, leaving her cold. Then, all at once, as though indeed she hardly heard him, Betty rose. "Jack, dear; it's no good—no earthly good," she said. “It's dreadfully late; I must be getting in. And now I have Edith to sac who must won der"— Her voice shook a little; the thought of Edith was pain added to pain. “Don't you see, dear—this man of whom you have told me—are we to allow him to die? That would be certainly murder — dastardly, cowardly murder. Whatever happens, I must speak the truth, and leave the rest to God. I must tell the police all I know’’— A Question. “And ruin me Irretrievably?" Riming ton burst out, goaded to nervous Irrita bility by the strange finality of her man ner. Then, more in response to her sud den startled look than to a spoken ques tion. he added, “Have you forgotten what you said—‘there were only you and I in that room?' Has it never occurred to you, Betty, to ask why 1 was in Tempest street that night?" His words ceased abruptly in obedience to a sudden checking gesture of her hand. Something had stirred in the trees behind them; something or some one. who trod warily and cautiously on the rough path way that threaded through the w’ood. “Jack " - Betty's lips were white and trembling—"if any one heard"— She paused and listened; the sound came to them again more faintly: the eavesdrop per, if it were an eavesdropper, was re treating. f Rimington took a quick step forward. There was an abrupt break in the trees a few paces from where he stood: the moonlight filled It with a clear sliver light that revealed objects with the clearness of noonday. He could see the path, lead ing to the Croft, lying like a silver rib bon fretted with ebon shadows, and a fig ure that passed along it quickly. A wom an’s figure. It seemed to him that he I recognized it immediately, but some cu rious sense of loyalty forbade him to ac cept the recognition: but as the woman turned and gave a swift, apprehensive glance over her shoulder, it was Impos slble to refuse to acknowledge the truth. It was Edith Barrington. With a feeling.of bewildered annoyance, Rimington drew back into the shadow. What had Edith Barrington heard, and why had she slipped away in so strange a fashion, fled back to the house as though she were some culprit who feared de tection? For the first time in all their married life, that had been so harmonious and WESLEYAN COLLEGE MACON, GEORGIA One of the Greatest Schools for Women in the South Wesleyan College is the oldest real college for women in the world; has a great body of alumnae, and students from the choice homes of the South.

It was no feigned head ache that kept her prostrate on the couch in the sitting room whose windows opened on to the wilderness corner of the Croft garden. She stirred uneasily among he» cushions. “Tony—don't stay In this prison of a room. Draw the blind and leave me to myself. I’ll be all right in an hour.” "My dear, I prefer to stay with you, and if I draw the blind further the room will be in total darkness. It's half dark already.” "My head aches." "I'm so sorry.” He drew the blind fur ther and came across the room to her through the semi-darkness. "Let me bathe the poor head,” he said, penitently, and ran cool, firm fingers up and down her hot hand. "What's the matter, Edith? I can't bear you to be ill. Head aches or heartaches—those are posses sions I emphatically forbid." “It’s not a matter of choice,” she as sured him. with muffled irritation. Barrington sat down in the deep chair by the couch and rested his head on his hand. IChat was the matter with Edith? The question that had never been ab sent from his mind since the afternoon when, so causelessly, as it seemed, she had lied to him about the solicitor's card, > hammered upon his brain more Insistent ly than ever this morning. What was the matter with the whole household? It seemed to him that the atmosphere of tragedy hanging over the Croft had been deepened, not lightened, by Betty’s recov ery from her loss of memory, a recovery as abrupt and as mysterious as her seiz ure had been. He had seen the girl and . talked with her, and she appeared to him : as different from the gay. delicious bit of girlhood of a month back as ever the stricken girl without a memory had been. About Betty. Almost withofit knowing he had spoken, ’ he put his thought Into words. ' "What on earth is the matter with Betty?” he said. ' Edith sat up suddenly. 1 "With Betty? What on earth do you mean?” Even a less suspicious man than 1 Barrington could hardly have been deaf to the startled note that, beat in Edith’s i voice as she put her counter-question. "Well, dear, the girl has been ill, hasn’t ’ she? I hadn’t the least intention of pry ing, but now that the subject has been mentioned—has she confided in you?—it is perfectly obvious that she has some thing on her mind.” Continued Tomorrow. > : 1 "■ 11 1 I—» DANGER PERIOD OF WOMANS'LIFE FROM 45 to 50 Interesting Experience of Two Women —Their Statements Worth Reading.
