((c) by McClure Newgpaoer Syndicate, k (WNU Service.) ARION JOYCK, did not realize that there was nothing unusual about her predicament. Analyzing it, It used to seem to her that no one had ever been harassed and harrowed as much as she io her peeuliaf circumstance. The peculiar circumstance was that there Was a particular person, who ev^jf siuce Marioti Joyce could remem- ,.her,> had been in her way. J^ot that there had been ever the slightest degree, of cotillict between Marion Joyce and this unconscious party to her discontent They had grown up in the same town together; they had attended the same school and occasionally had |net socially. But from her earliest memories of Alice Laidlaw% there had been something 'dhoot this attractive, rigorous personality, that had s?t to .jmawing Within Marion, dull pang# of jealousies and resentments. It is true that in a way Alice Laidlaw had always been a leader, yet Marion, in her way, had by no means been an inconspicuous or incompetent student or member oj the social life of her community.. While their paths had crossed only casually, each of these girls, Marion Joyce and Alice Lfildlaw, had been endowed with the gifts of personality and charm.J Of the two, Alice lyaiillaw had more of the quality of aggressiveness which makes for general popularity. She was president of school-and-social organizations, where under the same circumstances Marion would only have been an active and respective member. Alice Laidlaw ^iad au executive car' pacity for running things. Even when she was sixteen and in high school, she had been a potential club woman. She was then already a frequent feature in the newspapers, president of a literary society, member of. a debating team, leader of a conspicuous student rebellion against faculty restrictions. That Was probably where the shoe pinched Marion. Although she would neVer admit It, even to herself, it mbst have been, that incorporated in the capable and Intelligent figure of her colleague Alice Laidlaw, Marion beheld qualities that she herself yearned to possess. That was why. »again without even admitting: it to herself, Alice Laidlaw was in Marion's way. Every conquest Of the Laidlaw girl was anathema to Marion. Without even her nearest and dearest friends suspecting it, Alice's election to this and that presidency, her graduation with hoAors, her subsequent prominency as a club woman, political woman, social worker, world traveler, were actually elements in makihg Marion Joyce's life, even after she was'married..to the man of her choice, Fred Markus, one of rankling discontent. Curious how seldom the paths of these two women crossed, and yet come to think of it,'by no ineans inexplicable. It was doubtless due to the fact that Marion could not bear to look upon the attainments and achievements of this girl who had always walked in paths that Marion yearned to tread. To pick up the evening paper and find Alice Laldlaw's photograph confronting her, was sufficient to spoil her dinner and make her querulous with Fred. And with a dogged kind of perversity, it seemed to Marlon that the successes of Alice Laidlaw took pains to thrust themselves under her very nose. A chance newspaper dropped in a public place would fall In a position to reveal a photograph of Alice Laidlaw to Marion. With frequency that seemed to Marlon almost psychic, scraps of conversation which she overheard In theaters or In public conveyances, were as often as not, about Alice Laidlaw, her brilliancy, her success, her prominence. Seldom, If ever, was It Marion's good fortone to hear s slurring word or behold s slurring line spoken of Alice, and them, even when that happened, it only seemed to enhance her position tmaag the great. Unimportant people had no enemies. Fred Marcu*. who loved his wife, bad no even .the slightest Inkling of this canker at her soul. " Tf there were la her makeup certain human delinquencies, certain shortcomings, it seemed to Fred that she had fewer of th$m than the run-of-the-mill of Wives, and It never occurred to him f£at even these few delinquencies in the woman he loved, such as her occasional irritabilities, were due to the subterranean fact that a woman named Alice Laidlaw was in her way. To Fred Marcus, Alice Laidlaw was Just a local woman of prominence. Hs had met her a few times and had even discussed her upon occasion with his wife, admiring her accomplishment without knowing that he was turning a knife In the heart of Marlon. There was to come a lull' In this chronic soul-hurt of Marion's. The papers came out one day blaring the fact that Alice I>aidlaw was to take up residence abroad for a period of five years where she was to study certain sociological conditions in the various capitals of Europe. There was a great hullabaloo over this enterprise, functions, entertainments, farewells, were ptaged to hoaor of the departing celebrity, and no prophet in her ofirtt country ever departed with more adulation than the local favorite, Miss Alice Laidlaw. During the next flv*} years word of Alice's accomplishments in foreign lands; tidings of her presentation at this and that court, and" of her manner of projecting her home city Into international prominence came floating back. ' But there was something in distance that seemed to ease the hurt io the hc£7i si Marios Resides- in that period of Ave years, three children were born to the Fred Markuses, a new home had been planned and built, and the affairs of life had flowed In busily and happily. It was not that .Marion forgot; it was not that her curious capacity to stumble across evidences of the success of Alice Laidlaw had In any way diminished, it was simply thfct distance had dimmed the picture and time had mitigated it. Also, in that interval, even with the birth of her babies, Marion had tried to keep up contacts. Sh$ was member of several women's clubs, and while never an executive, her. standing locally was that of an able woman. -She was a member of Important organizations, of the mayor's Reception cormn|ttee and had created In her home the air of culture and camaraderie that made It a focal point fOr social gatherings of distinction. . Ironically enough, the most Important event.in which Marion was called npon to participate as member of the mayor's reception committee.was the return of Alice Laidlaw after an absence of years. It seemed to Ma-rion tl^dt this was the straw that broke the camel's back. Nothing in the world could save her from the ordeal of standing in lin^ to welcome back into the foltf the triumphant figure of the returning native except the plea of Illness. And despising herself, hating herself, berating herself, Marlon remained at home on the day of Miss Laldlaw's arrival on that very . plea. It was more than sire could endure to behold this woman who had succeeded in walking the , paths she yeqtrned to walk, return in triumph. ~ Triumph it was. For two weeks after her return, the local newspapers carried stories of this or that opinion, exploit or happening connected with Alice Laidlaw. While sitting in the railroad station one day waiting for the return of herhusband Fred, who had been away on a business trip, Marlon's eye, with its usual cruel capacity, for overlooking no printed word that had to do with Alice Laidlaw, lit on an article •In a newspaper held by the man In front of her on the waiting-room bench. Sitting there with her fingers clinched, as always under such circumstances, Marion flagellated herself by reading the article from end to end. It was a feature story In which Alice Laidlaw related to a woman reporter her idea of. "an ideal woman." How could Marlon refrain from* reading such an article? What was Alice Laidlaw's Idea of an "ideal woman"-- Alice Laidlaw, who was herself an Ideal woman to so many othefs, Alice Laidlaw, who had always been a leader since her earliest school days, who was the subject of so many conversations, who had won international prominence and for whom everybody worthwhile in the whole town turned out to welcome home? Marion read on excitedly.,, The "ideal woman" was a mother and a home-keeper; she was Intelligently Interested in civic affairs, but to her, home affairs came first; she had not one child, but several; her home was the focal point for got^&l gatherings of distinction. At the conclusion oi'the article, Alice Laidlaw cited a local figure to typify a woman whose life, activities and characteristics embodied all the fine qualities that went to make up Alice Laldlaw's composite version 0f the Ideal woman. \ The figure whom she had chosen from the local community as her symbol was Marlon. •,.:1^ Mr at -•CP and Saturday, Oct. 16 & 17 iI»ANKgR£ Hand-made Cigars THERB'S NO BETTER 5c CIGAR Box of 25 " 89® •Mrs. Beiche _ HAND ROLLED Chocolates lb. 53c SELLS REGULAR FOR 80c ; ..

Exhale and pull your belt In as tight as you can until you're empty as a pricked balloon. Now, take a whopper of a breath and see how many notches you can expand. It is tiere that ehest expansion should be measured, Instead of under the armpits, as your old gym teacher believed. "Ordinarily breathing should be unconscious," says Dr. Eugene Lyman FUk, In Collier's Weekly, "but everyday deep-breathing exercises should be employed. People who are shut in all day may partly compensate for the evils of Indoor living by stepping out of doors and taking a dozen deep breaths whenever the opportunity presents Itself." a "Do you* heavy breathing In the morning when you first wake up," says Helen Hayes. "Repeat It whenever you feel fatigue or nervousness creeping over you. ' It will also cure the insomnia that may attack you «t night." Men- as a rule breathe more deeply than women. A man's diaphragm is placed lower than a woman's, which gives his chest more room; and his more active habits of life have made this muscle stronger. Women, with few glowing exceptions such as athletes, actresses and singers, are shallow breathers. In the huatle and bustle of life In general, they are.apt to neglect tlwjr diaphragms. z \ : > .....
