To advertise to the world that you were not sufficiently alluring, beautiful, so-ductive, to be proposed to by any man, is tragic indeed. And, of course, no jpan had asked her else sae wouli Lave wed Bow times have changed If a woman doesn't get married nowadays never think of assuming she never has had a chance.

She may have hnd dozens of propoials. We ans apt to say, "How particular she ia! No man suits her." That, indeed, is reversing the tobies. And it is largely because girls today earn their living and aro no longer dependent for every cent on father.

A fWTE llfA AT WOMAN By HAZEL DEYO BATOIIELOR CetvrioM, nil, ov Publlo Co, Barry Neil it arrested for em-tczzling funds, and Harriet, hit xcife, because she betievts, in his innocence, it determined to prove it to the world. She obtains a position tcith Harry's firm under an assumed name, and there attraats the attention of Charley Harmon', the son of the head of the firm, tcho promptly falls in love with her, Lucy Pratt, an office comes to Harriet one night and warns her to leave Charley atone, and Chajlcy follows this up with a declaration of love. Harriet is desperate, and docs not know what to do when out of a clear sky she meets a girl from the tenement where she and Barry had lived, and this girl threatens to expose her to the police. At the crucial moment Charley appears on the scene and carries Harriet ov in a iaxt, but on the way home, he tries to threaten her into accepting his love making. "Where Is TlLs Taylor?" TTAnniET knew that it was only a '-'question of time before she would be discovered.

Sho thought of this ns she dragged wearily up tho stairs to her room that night and the Impulse to tell some one the truth was overpowering. She felt weak and sick and unable to bear it any longer all alone. She thought of May Watson and stopped at her closed door, but did rtot go in. Something, she could not have told what, urged her to keep on just a little longer. It happens that way sometimes, It is like the second wind that comes to a fighter, the last desperate struggle to win against odds that seem overpowering.

When she reached her room she dropped HranlT on the bed. i Sounds drifted Into her from the hall, doors opening and the scufile of feet on the stairs. Tne boarders were going down to dinner. Some of them had been in their rooms all day. and the dinner hour was for them something to look forward to.

To Harriet lt hnd always been the most trying part of her existence at Mrs. Baxter's, she had found It Impossible to take part in the conversation that went on' around her, and most of the boarders thought her snobbish and did not take the trouble to concent their feelings. May looked about for Harriet when he reached the gloomy bntement room. Of lnte May hnd Decn worried about the girl, she knew that something was troubling her, and Harriet had been very reticent about her caller the other evening. "Where is Miss Taylor?" asked Mrs.

Slocum pointedly, of May. "I don't know," May returned. "I believe I'll run up to her room and see If she has come in." "Xo doubt she's gone out to dinner with the man who was here the other nieht." Mrs. Baxter put in somewhat maliciously. But May did not wait for anything more; she new out of the room and up the stairs to Harriet's room.

Harriet called. "Who is it?" as May rapped briskly on the door. "It's May. Aren you coming down to dinner?" "I couldn't eat anything. I have a headache." "May I come in?" And at Harriet's "yes" May opened the door nnd went Into the dark, hot, little room.

"I think you'd better come down," she said firmly, standing by the bed and looking down at Harriet. "You'll give all those nice old tabbies something to talk about if you don't. Come on. now, like a good girl; you don't want to bo ill, you know, A cold towel on your face and some powder will fix you; there, Isn't that better?" May had a wet towel at the wash-stand and had held it for a moment against Harriet's hot face. Then sho had whisked a powder puff out of tho drawer and was applying it ln soft puffs to the girl's cheeks.

In spite of herself Harriet felt better, nnd impulsively she turned to Mny and kissed her shyly. "You're a dear, and I don't deserve to have you for a friend," she said softly. In the darkness the girls stood looking at each other for a moment then May spoke. "I'd like to be your friend, Harriet. I know you are in terrible trouble of some kind, and I wish I could help.

Did you know that Mrs. Baxter knows something about you and has just told the whole table about lt?" "Knows something about me!" Harriet's tone was tense with horror, she Khook nil over and her knees seemed to be giving way under her. "Tell me what she said," And she gripped May's arm so that it hurt. May was staring at her ln amazement. She was right nnd Harriet was really in terrible trouble of some kind, for nothing she hnd said could have had the power to frighten the girl like this.

Bellairs' ward, Eve Rochester, has obtained a position through Julian Vonda-veer, an unscrupulous adventurer, who has known Dick in Alaska and is anxious to get a diamond which Dick owns and always carries. Dick is in lovo with Mary, but Eve Has her eye on him at well as on Julian. Bellairs wants to marry Mary, who is staying at his country estate to do some work for him there.

DISASTER ON THAT self-same afternoon young Dick Calardin set off toward the White Lodge in tho hope of seeing Mary Urew. He was In love with her ridiculously, boyishly in love. He hated to think of her dally business sessions with the rich nnd Cnrrington Bcl-lalrs. "I'm going to marry her just as soon as she will xsXK. -v have me!" hekent MAT CimlSTIB repeating to himself.

Poor Mary 1 If he'd only known her present melancholy dilemma! At this very moment she was sitting tctc-n-tetc with Cnrrington Bellairs in the library of the White Lodge, her heart with Dick a reluctant little prisoner forced to endure the attentions of another man! And Cnrrington Bellairs was in his own opinion making definite headway with the girl. She was listening silently, passively, to his views on marriage pretending, through expediency, to, a mood sho didn't feci. Poor Mary mado a big mistake in submitting to this false position. She was not cut out for diplomacy. She was too frank nnd straight) for thnt.

She thought that she was gaining time and pneifying her cmployeir when in reality sho was playing definitely into his hnnds. And so she let him speak of love, although she knew she did not love him never would. She did not bear the doorbell ring. She did not hear Dick's footsteps cross the hall. She sat there in an unhappy reverie, while Carrington Belluirs' suavo tones went on: "I know that you'll be happy as my wife, my dear! I'm so glad and pleased that at last you see things in sensible light! The settlements that I shall make will provide for nil your needs.

Mary looked up amnscd.

She was about to voice a protest, when Bellairs stooped suddenly down and caught her in his arms. "I always knew that I would win you that you'd give in at last!" he cried. He held the astonished girl in a tight embrace "You lovo Mary Over his shoulder Mary saw the pale, astounded face of Dick Calardin, who all unannounced had walked into the library. Dick Olardln stood for a moment rooted to the spot. A wave of Jealous indignation swept over him.

Ho had heard the impassioned words of Carrington Bellairs. He had seen the young girl held ln Carrington's em-braco. Mary taken aback by the unexpectedness of Carrington's maneuver, and at the 'same time glimpsing Dick's Ir vh Mt4 1CVI, UUU 'stammered out: Air. uaiardinl How you startled me! I I didn't hear you "Apparently you didn't!" said the young man, grimly, as the other man swung round nstoniBhcd. "I finished with those papers that you sent to me.

I brought them back," he said. The older man was quick to notice Dick's emotion. For a moment he felt sorry for tho ln'd. Yet although this interruption was shade embarrassing it would prove a good thing in tho end. Young Calardin must be mado to realize Just how the land lay.

"Como into the smoking room. We can discuss our business there." He touched Dick on tho arm. The two men left tho room together. Tho moment that they were nlono Cnrrington Bellairs gave a short laugh and said: "It was a little nwkward for Miss Drew and for myself your unexpected entrance. Fact is, Calardin, I'm particularly interested in thnt quarter.

She's worked with mo for two years or more, nnd things have been gradually tending this way. A you know, is sometimes useful." Here ho clapped Dick on the back in affable fashion. "Don't take offenso, old chap. I know that you rather admlro the lady and I don't blnmo you cither but. well she isn't free "What d'you mean?" said poor Dick sharply.

A wild jealousy was tearing at his slmplo heart. "I mean just what I say. Miss Drew knows what my feelings are, nnd well" Bellairs gave another short, self-conscious laugh "you could see for yourself just now that my attentions aren't distasteful to tho girl." Dick transacted his business in tho shortest possible time, nnd then he metaphorically shook tho dust of the White Lodge from his feet nnd strode back to the Barley Mow, determined to forget the lady of his henrt and her amazing perfidy.

You say you "hang" around dance halls and take out the wild girl, but the nlco quiet girls you don't you add when you will settlo you will want a nlco quiot girl. How do you expect to get a nlco quiet girl when you don't deserve one? A good girl wants a fellow who never cared to go with wild girls.

She wants a fellow like herself.

SEVENTEEN. A Reader's Idea ofPersonallty Dear Cynthia Mr. Wlzzburgh Is too Intellectual; as I heard people ex-Prosldent Wilson was above his position, Mr. Wlzxburgn is above the column. The opinion of the writer Is personality is attraction and attraction in love.

If wo aro attracted bv little child, Its personality draws us to lt and wo lovo it. it is tne same witn grown people. You say your first friend Is lovely ln her private life, yet does not please you In her social life. I know a woman who draws like a magnet almost anywhere when 'dressed up, yet at home has to work so hard you would not give her an eye. Every ono Isn't as for tunate as your two mends nothing to do but run after pleasure.

Innocence soon leaves If wo run to dance halls every night and mingle with tho habitues of these places. If you havo learned by experience, nnd are married, Just tell what attracted you If not tho personality of your wife? Therefore I say personality Is attraction, then love, and you, Mr. Affaire d'Amour, like the extremist girl. The writer likes medium in anything, moro so ln tho powdering of tho nose and tho dot of color on the cheek than in the wearing of a hat too big for your faco that makes you look like a mush room, all top and no stalk. READER.

Scores "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Denr Cynthia By way of teaching "Seesaw" and, supposedly, others among the readers of your column "what kind of girls the 'fellows' renlly want," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starts out in his letter with a description of tho young woman he terms his "ideal," for whom he professes lave, adding that ho has been keeping company with her for two years tno public engagement and that sho and he have plans together.

In tho concluding paragraph of his communication he makes clear to "Seesaw" and your readers, without tho slightest perceptible qualms of conscience, that, plans or no plans, ho has been guilty of a dlBhonorablo action toward tho woman for whom ho professes love which. If brought to her knowledgo, would break her heart. Ho volunteers the statement that he should be not that he is ashamed of theso actions, adding with brazen effrontery; "This is one of the queer ways of a Ho doos precisoly tho same things that he could not stand for her doing. As a teacher of "Sesaw," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

MUST "LEST WE FmGETrmm "BECAUSE WE'VE Too Many of Us Feel Tliat Uur Very Uivn to Honor on Memorial Day We Can Ignore Others JUST what docs Memorial Day mean to ypu? Is it just a day on which you don't havo to get up early and get to" work? A day on whh you have a picnic, or do some much-needed work in the garden? Or Just the third day of' a short vacation? Does lt vaguely suggest flowers, American flags, bands nnd old white-haired men wearing medals and funny little blue caps with their faded uniforms? Do you associate with' It memories of Civil War days, and, tho reminiscences of elderly people in which you havo no interest or part? If you feel this way about the day you arc like many of the rest of us, unfortunately.

But there is a large majority of persons to' whom this day Is very real ln its deep significance. Some of them are white-haired themselves, and the memories they cherish have grown more dear with the passing years. For many others the aching grief has not yet subsided and the memories are of boys who marched away to the tune of "Over There," of letters marked "opened by censor," and of official notices from the War Department, which told their dreaded story even before they were opened. Those things are not easy to forget, and not happy to remember. PERHAPS you haven't any memories like that today, perhaps your soldiers all came marching back again singing "Madelon" ln variegated French.

Hut even if you haven't, they "have some memories themselves. They don't like to be reminded of them, whether they nro never-to-be-forgotten scenes of horror, or not-to-be-cquolcd feelings of oxcltcmen or relief, or moments of the kind of fun that only lot of boys lnr high spirits together can have. However, they haven't forgotten. In respect to them, nnd'for the sake of those others, whoso tribute of flowers is so heartfelt and sincero today, although lt seems to them so inadequate, we all owe at least a thought or two. IT ISN'T necessary to give up our let us go ahead with our picnics nnd our three-day trips nnd our gardening, just as we have planned.

But surely there would be room even in the midst of all that for a little remembrance, a little sense of gratitude for the service of those whom wo used to call affectionately "our boys." There aro many of these men still in hospitnls, you know, while others grope their way nbout in darkness, and numbers are getting accustomed to wooden legs, artificial hnnds, arms that won't riso above the waist, knees that give way unexpectedly. Do wc have to bo reminded of them once a year, by means of a holiday, of bands, of flags nnd of speeches about a day that is "heavily freighted with sacred nnd stimulating Have we bo quickly forgotten the men away como tho and colors, again.
