Make -Believe Bride by Ruth Harley SYNOPSIS Maris Trevor is discouraged because Rod O'Rorke spends all his money de- veloping the invention which he hopes will provide an income so that they can marry. Maris thinks they should enjoy the present rather than deny themselves for the future. She be- comes uncertain of her love for Rod. Perhaps there would be more happi- ness with someone else — Rod's harsh laugh cut across the still air. "That's a good one, Maris. Better tell that to your other boy friend. Well, good night. Dreams have a way of coming to an end." And be- fore she could say another word, he had left her. Then as she crossed the threshold of the apartment house, a sudden ter- ror seized her. Had she driven the man she loved from her side forever? Why had she not told him there was no one else, that though she loved him, she didn't feel she wanted to get engaged — at least just yet? Ret eve. es elle }Wit of what sig ,nlbut have done, what she might have said, a little imp inside her seemed to say, "Now you can see what's to be done with Stan Payson. Marriage with a millionaire would be much easier .thaalt; with. a poor. man..If Rod, really loves you, he'll come back `to you again. After all, a girl has the right to make things as easy for herself as she can." Trying To Forget Yet another voice seemed to say, "You know you love Rod, so how can you treat him so. What's got into you, anyway? Stan Fayson will never look at you. Maybe he's really engaged to Rowene, and if he isn't it's more than likely that when he's ready to marry he'll pick some bright deb rather than. a working girl." But, shrugging her shoulders as she went upstairs, for the elevator was temporarily out of commission, she tried to forget about her love for Rod. - She tried to banish every memory of his impassioned love -making. She was so tired of being poor, of working for a living, for she had started just after she got through business college. And, even if she married Rod, unless his gadget proved a tremendous excep- tion, they would probably never be rich. She would have t., do all the house - ECZEMA From Head to Feet Plow Alinost Cleared Up s Mrs. X of Fort William, Ont.,writes: ' "My husband was cov- • a erect with eczema from his head to his feet... tried Bel-Zerrta .. has used three bottles... clearing up . now only avery small patch on his bach.9 Bel-Zema is an entirely new idea in a treatment for eczema and kindred skin disorders.

Then if there were any babies — oh, the very thought of that problem made her sick. And yet, as she slipped her ]iand in her bag to get the key, she remembered she had thought once that it would be 'paradise to have a home of her own, an adoring husband, and maybe two curly -headed cherubs to bring the final crown of happiness to her life.

After all, he did deserve ; that, because he'd spent plenty of time aud money, trying to perfect it, "What, more invitations to be ad-. dressed for, the exposition?" question- ed Milly Trenxaine, as Maris put a typewritten list and a box of envel- opes on her desk. "Yes, Miss Riggs says she's just waiting for another bunch of names, but that will keep you busy for a little while. 'Huh, and what aro you going to do? Sit and twiddle your thumbs?" "No, I should say not. I've got a big- ger list than yours, and I'd better get started plugging." "Well, this exposition is certainly giving us some extra work. i Wonder if they'll give us the chance to get in free." "I'd say they should, seeing, that Mr. Fayson is having one of the big- gest booths on the floor." • ' "Well, you know what that's for — so Stanley's girl can have ' enough room to show off the bridal gown that is made of Fayson's finest crepe," Mil- ly said. "Why shouldn't she?" asked Maris. "Fayson's can surely afford to spend something to put over a lovely mater- ial like that. Besides, it Won't cost them a thing for models. That's a pret- ty smart idea of Stan's — sort of keep- ing it all in the family." "Yes, someone said she was going to use the bridal gown at her own marriage," announced Milly as she started to work. "But is she really engaged to Stan?" asked Maris, suddenly tense as she waited for Milly's answer. -- "Sure.

Then, a sense of guilt seemed to cover her with shame. She was fascinated l4y Stan Fayson and the thought that he might fall in love with her. Well, after all, a girl had to do the best for herself, especially a working girl who had little chance except through a wealthy marriage to see the world, to have a life of ease, to wear lovely clothes and be surrounded by all the beauty her money might buy, She'd put all thoughts of Rod out of her life for the present. She must not torture herself even with the thought that her calm dismissal had hurt him. He would get over it. Maybe even yet — but no, she must make no con- cessions about him. She and Rod had come to a parting of the ways, Yet thought she calmly aoknowledged it, she tried to look at it from a wordly wise point of view, it was strange how vividly little incidents about him rose before her as she brushed her lovely silken hair, And prepared to go to bed. There was the day they stumbled across a couple of youngsters who had been fighting furiously in the park. Grabbing one in each powerful hand, Rod had held thein in the air, till sud- denly through the dust smearing their faces, she could see their looks of an- ger turn Yto smiles as Rod showed then, how foolish they were. There were other clays and other happenings, and now, each seemed to ciety columns — gave all the pedigree of the young man — but I reckon Ro- wene didn't have any worthwhile an- cestors — it only told about the play- grounds her dad had given to all .the little burgs up -state." "Well, when you're rich you don't need ancestors to hold you up. Gold does it well enough and lets ;you get in where you never could if you were poor and honest." A moment later, Maris seated her- self at her machine and the steady clickety-click of her typewriter joined the chorus of nineteen or twenty oth- ers that were in the correspondence' room.

Efeccive Substitute Found For Liver Extracts The discovery that yeast may serve as an effective substitute for liver or dried stomach extracts in the treat- ment of pernicious anaemia was re• ported before the annual meeting at Atlantic City, N.J., of the American Society for Clinical Investigation by Dr. Maxwell M, Wintrobe of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Six persons suffering from pornici• ous -anaemia, Dr. Wintrobe reported, have been treated successfully in -the last year by feeding them a yeast powder, and twelve other patients have been benefitted. The yeast is in dehydrated form. Dr. Wintrobe said he did not believe ordinary yeast cakes would give the same beneficial results. This is the first time, Dr. Wintrobe added, that any vegetable matter has been found effective in the treatment of pernicious anaemia. The yeast treatment, he added, would be much less expensive than the liver or hog stomach extracts. He Proposed to The Wrong Girl flat's TheWorst of Being in Love With a Twin Handsome 23 -year-old Frank Thur- man, of Loughborough, put ou his best suit, bought some flowers and propos• ed to the wrong girl, He didn't know until her sister told him. This is how it all happened. The girl he proposed to was pretty 17 -year-old Beryl Boswell, The one -he meant to ask looks just the same, but her name Is Honour. Beryl -and Honour are twins — they look alike, think alike, talk alike and wear similar clothes. The trouble is it's s, hard to tell the difference.

"Anyway, I want to forget about it as soon as possible. "I was horrified when Honour ask- ed me what 1 meant by proposing to her sister. That was the first I knew about it."

She had not even had time to glance in the direc- tion of Stan's office, as Miss Riggs had told the girls that the envelopes must be addressed just so — no shod- dy work would be accepted. Not that She ever got that at any time, for the Fayson stenographers were a picked bunch. But now, as Maris rose from her desk and involuntarily stretched her stiff muscles, her eyes sought Stan's office. Her eyes, flashed as she whis- pered to Milly, "Look!" Milly raised her head from her ma- chine, and her eyes followed the direc- tion Maris indicated. Then she rose quickly. "Let's go past Stan's office to the cloak room and get a better view," she whispered. "All right," said Maris, picking up• the box of envelopes and putting them on Miss Riggs' table. A sudden excite- ment had brought the colour to her cheeks. "Gee, Rowene's prettier than I had thought," remarked Milly as they walked along the corridor and glanc- ed through the glass -sided office to where Rowene, dressed In the exposi- tion bridal gown was parading before Stan and his father, as well as a select group of the salesmen. "Better get the photographers over. right now," the old man was saying. "We should be having some advance publicity in the newspapers." (To be continued) Advises Change In Personality Children Should Be Studied In Connection With Personality As Well As Growth The pronounced individuality of the Dionne quintuplets, in spite of identical experiences and influences, should be a warning to mothers against attempting to make their children alike in personality, Mrs. Sidonie Matsner Gruenberg, head of the Child Study Association, wrote in a recent report. "Regard for the personality," Mrs. Gruenberg said, "means not merely that we must consider the in- dividual as distinguished from other individuals, we must regard the in- dividual as he becomes different day by day. "It often became necessary to separate the quintuplets and deal with them individually. At about 2% years, after they had learned to remain asleep until it was time to get up, they began to get up in the bed and start calling each other across the room. They had learned the art of speech and their new in- terest found expression in a way that cut right across their good hab- its." Children, she said, should be stud- ied •in connection with their person- ality as well as their growth. Belp improve your personality With Wrigley's Gum.
