men call.
CHAPTER .1X
Barney Calls!
Margy opened the door, .and
cine back into the dining room,
closely followed by Barney Mc-
Iinight.
"I hope I'm the first of my tribe.
I know mighty well I won't be the
last," he began grimly. "Mrs.
Cantrell, I'd like to help you and
Janet handle this if you'll let me."
"You mean about — Cynthia?
Then you've Beard?" Janet asked.
"Every newspaper in town has
the essentials—that they were
married by the parson of that lit-
tle all-night church off the square,
with a special license a friend of
Benton's wangled for them."
That, Janet thought, was one
thing that had not occurred to
Cynthia to tell her.
- "What the papers are all going
to want," Barney was going on,
"is the heart-throb stuff — you
know, the sobs of the heart -brok-
en grandmother and the homicidal
fury of the :jilted iover_"
"Oh, Barney, I hope you're not
going to be dragged into this,"
Janet cried.
"Forget it! The important thing
is that you and your aunt must
not be hounded by reporters all
day. Now, I'm not asking any-
thing exclusive for the News. My
idea was that we night cook up a
simple announcement of the wed-
ding, signed by Mrs. Cantrell, to
be passed out to all soarers. ,
Just that, and nothing more, no
natter how they howl and beat
their chests."
"Young man," said Aunt Mary,
"I '' 'nk you have something
there. I more and more regret
that we're not to keep yor +ct the
family."
Lance Is Angry
He grinned impudently down at
her from the arum of the hair ori
which he had perched.
"Well, you're free, white. and
21," he Suggested. 'You '?el:ter
retake the most of your ,npportur -
ties. T may itot be in the market
lun ;."
"Thai. Irish toegne of yours will
get you into trouble yet, young
man" Annt Mary p oph.sir,d; brit
here ryes twinkled.
Of course," Lerney =teen; on,
".he papas will all pay up the
angle or Benton's two divorces;
and we can't soft -peddle anything
Cynthia and' Benton may chcose
to give out, or the gossip of their
friends. But we may save you
some annoyance,'"
Together they devised a brief,
dignified paragraph: "Mrs. Mary
Cantrell, of the Breckenridge
Apartments, announces—"; and
Barney made copies for all the
city papers.
"Have Margy deal them out at
the door," he advised, "just to
show there's no ill feeling against
the hard-working press. 'Aside
from that, 'Mrs. Cantrell has no-
thing more to say'."
"She definitely has not," con-
firmed Aunt Mary grimly.
Janet had to rush off at once.
There were a myriad errands she
had to attend to before her visit
to Mr. Bryant's office. For one
thing, she was to meet Lance at
Stauffer's to select the twin rings
they were going to use in the cere-
mony.
Lance did not see her when she
first went into Stauffer's. Hit
brows were bent over the morn-
ing paper. When she -spoke to
him, and he looked up, she was
shocked by the pale anger of the
face he turned toward her.
"So this was why she ditched
McKnight," Lance said, thrusting
the paper into Janet's hands. "Of
course I knew all along that never
would come to anything—but how
could Cynthia do anything so
cheap and common as this?"
"I've never heard that there was
anything essentially cheap or com-
mon about getting married," Janet
said, trying to laugh.
Jan Selects Her Trousseau
She glanced at the paper — a
copy of the Bulletin, the most
sensational of the morning sheets.
. . It was all there in glaring.
headlines, with pictures .of Gyn-
this and Timothy. Benton.
"You know what I mean,"
Lance said through tight lips. "She
doesn't care a thing for that
roughneck—not even so much as
she did for Barney McKnight."
"Lance," Janet said, nettled as
she always was by criticism of
Cynthia, "I don't like you to speak
that way about my cousin. Any-
how, how do you know":"
For a moment he stood staring
at her as'if startled by her ques-
tion. Then his :frown vanished,
and he was his usual engaging
self,
"Don't let's quarrel, Jan," he
cried, "Of course what worries me
about the whole thing is the an-
noyance it's bound to subject you
to. And you must admit it is a
little embarrassing•. just. before our
mver'iding." J •
After they had selected the
rings, Janet hurried off on her
cliz'cy rc.mr1 fer the day --a fitting,
iter vhrit .to. Mr. Bryant's office,
the luncheon at Sylvia Grant's
house. a finger wave—squeezed in
somehow—and then supper with
I:anee downtown.
When she put down her bag at'
the dressmaker's, she"realized that
she was still carrying the copy of
the Bulletin which Lance had put
into her ]mand. She folded it and
put it with the rest of her things,
thinking that she would read the
story about Cynthia a'S soon as site
had an opportunity, Site might
as well have some idea of the
worst than was being said.
The gowns were going to be
lovely. There was a sea-greeg
evening gow'ii ' with a boufati1
skint and a tiny$geket of sequins
that Lanee•'Wellid hove, a b'oauti,
.fully trim ttftt"srnoon frock of vel.
vet in deep blue, and a' black din-
ner dress with touches of jade.
The one Janet liked best was a
knitted wool in shades of brown
and orange and russet, pointed
with green, which suggested an.
autumn wood.... And there were
others.
Financial Dileiutna
Suddenly Janet' wondered just
why she had imagined she could
need so many dresses. She won -
tiered still more after she had ask-
ed for and been given a tentative
estimate of the entire bill, so that
she might have some definite idea
how Much niony she would need
before she talked to Mr. Bryant.
Mr. Bryant listened silently as
she explained her financial dilem-
ma to him, his eyes upon the blot-
ter of his desk, upon which he
was absently sketching while she
talked. When she had finished, he
sat silent for so long that Janet
thought, he's trying to think of
some polite way to tell inc what a
fool I ant.
"Of course," she added defen-
sively, "I'm just beginning to real-
ize that I have been pretty ex-
travagant lately, but after all, you
only get married once—at least,"
she amended with a confident lit-
tle smile, "I do. - . . And I'nm go-
ing to be really careful after this,
with the payments on the house to
take care of—until Lance is on
his feet, of course.... Oh, yes --
and the money I'll need to help
Aunt 111ary a little."
It was not until she had finished
and Mr. Bryant lifted his eyes
that she realized how very grave
he was looking.
".Miss Janet," he said, "1 ani
afraid I have some startling news
for you.... I wonder if you ever
lead the financial pages of the.
newspapers?"
"Of course not," Janet said.
Why should she? Her only in-
terest in money was that it should
be there when she needed it, as it
always had been. Besides, she had
seldom spent up to the full am-
ount of her income.
"Then you don't know . that
things have been jittery on Wall
Street for the past week or so?"
"Why—no," Janet said; then,
trying to smile, "Is it important?"

Be Subtle
When Dressing
"For Him"
-Men Are Fussy About Appear-
ance of the "Little
Woman"
"It's the boy friend," wrote a
girl. "He's fussy.. He says he
doesn't like my clothes; he objects
to make-up. What can a poor girl
do?„
Go lovelier for the boy friend.
Don't he obvious about it; come
pairt.exene-w. guise, and let,himsee
how subtle you can be.
Watch Your Make -Up
Don't cling to the foundation
cream and powder puff idea. Use a
liquid powder, which goes on and
"stays put" and does not demand
the constant attention to which any
man objects so much. There are
plenty of excellent liquid powders
on the market — ones which suit
all ,the
and all tastes, and which
do cling to the skin splendidly. Use
a cream rouge—very little of it. It
requires skill in application, you
know; put on very very little and
then work it off into the corners,
leaving no sharp edges. And be
sure that it is the color you want.
Don't Become Blonde Suddenly
You can rinse your hair in a
special rinse which will bring un
the lights in it, but don't aim at
giving it new lights—ones that it
never had according to nature.
They'll clash badly, and only irri-
tate the boy friend.
Men Like Conservative Costumes
Men hate conspicuousness. They
get rattled by anything that at-
tracts undue attention.
Men are conservative as to col-
ors. Blue is generally first favor-
ite. They adore grey. The fuchsia
shades which have, been so popular
are not prize -winners ill a mauls af-
fections.
ffections. A, black frock with really
clean white trimmings holds first
place in almost every man's heart,
and there is a soft green which
they fancy. Be careful over violet
and heliotrope—and no man goes
into .ecstasies over brown,

II"st+ated Do115 Are Something
Of A Vanished Race
Remember when the beach beau-
ties looked like little painted dolls?
You know, all powdered with very
conspicuous rouge and lipstick?
They have gone with the styles
yesteryear.
And why did these bathing beau-
ties look grotesque? In the first
place they didn't know makeup for
the beach must be done lightly, In
the second place, there was no
suitable makeup,
We would be just as conspicu-
ous today if we used flme same
makeup for beach wear as we do
for the street. Now every girl
knows she must have a good,
smooth foundation, before she
basks in the sun. One that will pro-
tect the skin while it imparts a
natural tone. Most of the suntan
creams and lotions are good for the
makeup base,. and they're more in-
triguing every season,
You can have the natural shin
tone for the first few days, and
when the tan becomes noticeable
a darker shade may be used. They .
range from the deep ivory to the
carioca or copper shades,
Girlswho are not accustomed to
the water and do not swim well
enough to get up a good circulation
are apt to be pale and colorless at
first. They will be smart to use a
bit of rouge,, and always put on
lipstick. Pale lips would make even
the loveliest girl commonplace. We
can't afford to have them at any
time. Rouge and lipstick will ad-
here for a long time—even when
wet and one can always renew the
application.
Sunproof Creams
All sunproof creams and lotions
have to be renewed from time to
time when we are out in the sun.
The heat of the sun dries the mois-
ture and after a time penetrates to
the skin. So for best results, go iu
and pat on a bit more.
Fry Eggs
On Lap
Amazing Things To Come to
World of Tomorrow
One of the amazing things' at the
New York Fair comes under the
heading of the World of Tomorrow,
and specifically it is frying eggs on
a cool stove. The World of To-
morrow claims that a person may
sit on this stove and read a book,
while the eggs ate frying in a pan
on his lap. No wonder some visi-
tors gaze at the World of Tomor-
row with misgivings, and a lifted
eyebrow. This picture of things to
come—especially _ryiug eggs in
one's lap—not unnaturally leaves
some people cold. 1t may even re-
sew their appreciation of the world
of today,
Forward.
There is no path backward:
But there is a road that leads on-
ward -ever onward—
To better things.
