"What is it that you want why have you come?"

He was hatloss, in j slippers down at heel. Betty’s eyes for i the moment were held by the sight of that slouching, unsteady figure going be fore her in the grax Norfolk suit that was dirty rather than shabby. "Tony!

How Is his ease ; going? Is there anything fresh?" There was something brutal in the question, in the man's way of putting it. that hurt Betty as though he had struck I her in the face. Yet, as she looked at the haggard face beside her. at the twitching, peering eyes, she could not be angry. She could only feel a great sor row rushiflg over her. "Why, no. Tony," she said. "There Is nothing new ft Is a question of patience now patience and hope " And Faith. "And faith." Barrington said, with an accent of indescribable bitterness. "I suppose you believe in the man. you poor little fool. In his goodness, in his mar tvr's heroism Don’t Be true tn him. if you will, but exalt him to no altar in your heart. Whatever he was. he’ll be a poor enough wretch when he gets out Be thankful if he is not worse " "Tony, I hate to hear you speak so," she said, and tears were choking her "lou’re like all women—you hate to hear the truth." Rimington retorted, un locking the studio door with a key from his pocket The door opened into a tiny ante-room, screened from the rest of the studio by a thick curtain Barrington drew her inside, locking the door behind them, and stood for a moment wiping wringing would have been the better word the rain from his thick hair, then he drew aside the curtain and Betty en tered.

He had walked to the end of the studio, to where. Just below the little platform where the stove glowed red. stood an easel with a picture on it, over xvhich had been thrown a covering "This is great work. Bettx." he said.

Garside "I have not so many friends that I shall grow confused among the num ber and forget my best ones.”—Nicho las Nickleby. THIS is the season when every girl who has the inheritance nature jilanned for her is interested in a flower garden. It may he nothing more pretentious than a window box. Or it may be a round, little bed in a corner of a tiny yard, or it may be as much ground as she likes. But whatever the size of her garden. I am sure that nature, the most de voted of all teachers, has taught her that she must not attempt to grow too many plants in a limited spade. If she makes that blunder she has no flowers, for the fight for space be comes a fight for life, and every plant dies. If any survive, it is those of rank growth, and for which she cares the least. The same wise little girl with her flower bed is often not so wise in the cultivation of friends. She confuses number with popular ity. and believes that she van be pop ular only by having a bosom friend in every girl she meets. She is crowding her little flower garden. The result will be that she has no friends at all. A girl can not have a large number of friends and be a good friend to all of them The very difference in their temperaments forbids it, A few friends are a help. Many friends become a hindrance. In trying to be kind to so many she is not kind to herself. With this friend pulling this way and another friend pulling that way, she gets the feeling that she is being pulled to pieces. What she may prefer can never be considered if her aim has been popularity. And I take it it has, or she would not be the bosom friend of every I girl she meets. What she does to please one friend is the thing that displeases another; Tn trying to be a friend to all she gets the name of being a hypocrite. | And to be a friend to all she has found 1 it necessary to so conduct herself that the charge Is not wholly without foun dation. When she falls In love, some of this army of friends approve and some dis approve. The former urge the match; the latter come to her with tales and gossip and discourage it. Every few days I get distressing let- ! ters from girls who are in love. “My parents approve,” writes one girl, and her letter has a weekly duplicate. ——■ ———»—— —■ WASHINGTON SEMINARY ATLANTA, GA rßnvKnS A A T 4r> I t l o7 4 raFx®?. c c htree - ro . ad ’ 3ust b eyond Ansley Park ««S s ''SvS oflf. ’“O'" ■”! lighting, ventilation, heating, with open-air class rooms, gymnasiums, audito rium, etc. Tennis courts and other outdoor DEPARTMENTS—Kindergarten, primary, academic, college preparatory, domes- WTHni’ £ nC £™ P »n yS i Ca cult , ur ®’ P’*no, pipe organ, voice, violin, art, expression.

"One of my girl friends.” writes a distressed little girl, "tells me my sweetheart is fickle. She says he once made love to her just as ardently as he is making it to me. What shall I do, for I love him more than my life?” What can she do? The mischief has been done in giving to every girl she knows the right to come to her witn tvarnings and advice. If she attempts to let her many friends select her lover, she will never have one. If she refuses to marry until she has found a man who receives the unquali fied approval of Mary and Susie and Jane, she will be a spinster all her days. Not an unhappy lot, if one is a help ful. contented spinster. But one can’t be that with the haunting regret of having refused a good man because Lizzie didn't like his habits, or Mary didn’t like his hair, or Louise called him a trifler. She will find, after she has grown older and becomes a hopeless spinster, that she is lonesome. For Lizzie and Mary and Louise, and all the other girls who restrained her from marrying, have married the men of their choice and gone off and left her. And it has happened many times, my dear little friend-hampered girl, that these girls have married the very men of whom they disapproved to you. “I have not so many friends that I shall grow confused among the number and forget my best ones," said Nicho las Nickleby.
