Oh, you make m sick!" "I can't discuss this now, Mary. Some day you'll know the wbola story. In the meantime . . .> But Mary, choking back a sob, hur- ried away. It was half an hour or so later that Harriet found Mr. Hellman and told him tted Foster was In the park office and wanted to gee lirai right away. Mr. Helluun went to the park of- fice-. Ted was spoilt ag into the tele- phone: "Eve'-., one of tuoco forty Coronets has got to bt loaded on freight cars ready to le.-ive oy noon tomorrow!' Sold 'Em To Lyndhurst "What are you doing with tiioa cars?" demanded Mr. He-Ilmau. "I'm shipping them to Lynd- liurst!" grinned Ted. "Law of sup- ply and demand. We have the cars and Lyndhurst has the factory booml" "You've sold 'em to the Lynd- hurst dealer, Ted?" "And was he tickled! He didn't have a car on tlie floor and one of his competitors had twelve!" "Why didn't I think of a simple thing like that!" said Mr. Hell- mau. "Why didn't I?" responded Ted. "It was really Harriet Thomas's idea." "This all sounds terribly impor- tant," said Mrs. Foster. "Almost as important to a \oui-; fellow lik you, Ted. as something ymir wife said to me a while ago." "Mary? What did she say?" de- manded Ted desperately anxious. "She landed on me like a ton of bricks when I said 1 had no announcement to make. She de- manded where on the fare- of the earth I could find anybody more honest than Ted Foster. She also said I gave her a pain in the neck." Ted brushed between his mother and Mr. Hellman without a word and headed for the interior of tue park . . . .Mary, walking agitatedly by her- self, was halted by an amazing scene. Atutetasia Atherton was flat on the- ground, oae foot caught in a noose, and Harriet and her two stooges, wooden tomahawks lu their hands, were dancing about her. "Harriet!" cried Mary. "What :(! you doing? Let her up!" "I'm doing this for you, Mary." said Harriet. "Ted's here and I'm fixing. it so she doesn't trifle wit'i your husband's affections any mure." Make Anastasia Tell "Mary," appealed Anast.isia, "get tlu's^ fiends off mo! I haven't seen Ted for weeks! He doesn't want any part of me." "I don't believe- that." sufd Mary. "Don't be a fool .Mary, in a town like this, if I'd been within twenty feet of Ted. all your friends would have told you." "There's a lot in what you say, Aiusiasia," said Mary, her eyes lightius. "Let her up, Harriet!" she commanded sharply, and start- ed back inwards the bandstand. She had gone but a short distance wher. she heard Ted calling her name. Hi run to her. grmped her arms. "Mary, I've seen Mr. Uelimau and I know you really love tue. I'll set Au.is'asiu and make her tell you the truth." "Ted, darling." said Mary sober- ly anil seriously. "I don't give a darn about Anastasia. She's out of my system and we can dismiss her mice and for all." "Wlifii . . . when did you discover that?" asked the amazed Ted. "I just figured it out.' You haven't seen Anastasia once sine* we separated. In a town like this everyono would have, told me If you had." "If you'd only have thought of that before!" exclaimed Ted fer- vently. The Housewife's Chief Aversions Fresn Grocery Clerk* Who Have Little Knowledge of th Goods They're Selling Ar The Pet ''Hate" of Feminine Customer: Fraali grocery clerks, duuty cans, *nd untidy floors are the chief version of the average housewife insofar as purchasing of daily sup- plies U concerned, according to Edwin P. Geauque, of Chicago, rep- resentative of the United State* National Grocers' School. Mr. Geau- que recently addressed the Ontario Retail Food Distributors' Convea- tion in Toronto. LIKE CLEAN BRIGHT STORE "Women have an idsa the aver- a? grocer's assistant, and often the grocer himself, doesn't know the difference between various types and grades of groceries on thei* shelves. When a woman wks the difference between two prod- ucts of different prices, she wants bo get the answer. When she doesn't get it, her confidence la Ui store declines, along with her purchases." Mr. Geatiaue states. "We have found that the aver- age woman shopper delights in fresh, c'.ean paint, bright lights, a \vi.it- variety of stock and a generally clean store. They insist on courtesy and a professional manner. Familiarities from the grocer which may causa embar- rassment, are taboo with the hou'e- wife." A Coiffure For The June Bride The Prospective Bride Should Tak Her Veil to the Hair- dressers' and There Arrange a Becoming Hair-sty! Fashion Flashes The smart June brid does not get a ne-w type of hair-do a few hours or even a I'.ay before the ceremony. She takes her veil to h^r liairdresser at least a week before the wedding and lets him kelp her plan a coiffure that will be flattering when half-covered by a veil. ' Theu she wears her hair the new way until time to have it set again just before the important day. This system gives the bride a chance to get used to the coiffure and elim- inates any possibility of her having to fuss with it or be conscious of it (hiring the wedding or the re- ception afterward. HEADDRESS TO COUTURE U'ith. a Juliet cap of flowers for a headdress, the hair-do that is rolled neatly upward all the way around is worth considering. With a tiny Gibson Girl type of flower hat, an t.pgwept coiffure with a pompadour is an idea. Long bobs lend .themselves be- comingly to braided bandeaux or flowers downward sloping at the back, of course, and to tiny calots of seed pearls or flowers or lace set far buck on the- head. Slim Vocabulary Handicaps Girls Stenographers Are Urged to Increase Knowledge Contrary to the popular belief about tlie dexterity o the IVm.tle tongue, the modern career girl may find that sue is handicapped by an insut'licient vocabulary. "We can teach girls to make out- lines of words shorthand but it doesn't do any good it she hasn't sufficient knowledge of the words sbe takes down to do a sensible Job of transcribing." declares Dr. Margaret l-'rank, Chicago, consult- ing psychologist. Psychologists Have found two predominant causes for most ex- isting "lidss-steno" conllicts: 1 The stenographer doesn't have an adequate vocabulary. 2 Her cultural level may be too high or too low for her luHiness Mary smiled archly. "I can't be expected to think of things when [ should. It's only whvu I think of them." Perhaps that didn't make make miK-h sense, but Ted and Mary, clasped tightly in each other's arms, their lips clinging to each other's didn't give a darn about sense at that moment, of reconcil- iation.
