WIFE" * CHAPTDR CXXIV. Ruth was gonsé. for two or three days. She had au interesting bit. of work to do; and when she returned it was easily to be seen it had done her 'good. A few duys after her re- another letter came from Brian. In it he made no mention of Mollie; but spoke of expecting soon to be ordered to the front. He also told in a few simple words that he was now a lientenant. He said no- thing of what had led to his pro- motion, however, which was like him--Ruth thought. Someway, this letter made her even more uneasy than had the oth- er, but for a widely different rea- son. She felt guilty toward him in that she had allowed her feelings to restrain her confession concerning the baby. She wished she had sent the lefter "she had destroyed. - The mails wergeso uncertain, so slow What itdw8mething should happen to him and he never know he had a Jittle son? She would feel guilty all her life. So onco more she wrote of her boy, and this time she hurried out and posted it. She would give her. gelf-no time to change her mind, or to let thoughts of Mollie King pre- vent her doing her duty. "I have written Brian hHaby," she said to her aunt. "1 am glad, dear. Your friends would be shocked did they Know you had not.' # Bven though she didn't like Brian, and really would have aided Ruth to divorce him, she felt that it was wronig to hide the knowledge that he had a son from him; that Rath was also Wronging herself by doing so, Brian would have a deal cause of Somplaint against her. Curtiss had called one even- ti vol had quoted at length from a letter she 'had received from Mol- Ruth was so glad she had about and Brian saw each other. Thankful that sho had not evaded the issue when Mrs. Curtiss spoke/of Mollie. "It is a good thing you aren't jealous, Ruth. 1 should be, if it were my husband and J knew how intimate they had been before Brian married. I am such a goose where Mr. Curtiss is concerned. I honestly think it would kill me if he gave me.any reason to be jealous." "I am not of a jealous disposi- tion. Ruth returned calmly. She had deceived' even her aunt as to the feeling she had about - Mollie King. "Be thankful that you are not. It is an awful feeling. And a woman is so helpless. A man has so many opportunities to deceive. He is away all day; his time--if he is in busi- ness for himself--is his own. How in the world is a woman to know he jsn't spending it with some other woman, if she doesn't feel sure he knows no other intimately? I have always said that I never would give [Mr-Ourtiss a chance. You see, your being in business has given ho MRS. CURTIS EXPOUNDS HER VIEWS Brian all sorts of excuses to do any- thing be wanted to--men hate to be alone, you know." "You certainly haven't a very high opinion of men," Mrs Clay- borpe broke in. "For myself, I do not believe hat any amount of es- plonage will keep a man straight if he" Wants to step aside.

"Nonsénse,"" "Yew arg too foolish to talk that way. omen aren't so anxious to have other women's husbands as you seem to think," she felt that Mrs, Curiiss had Mollie and Brian in mind.

It is requested that you be good enough, if you 'concur, to transmit to them officially in your orders an Aac- knowledgment of the very fine ser- vices which they have thus render- ed to the sick and wounded soldiers of - the Canadian Expeditionary Force and of {he assistance which they have given to the Canadian Army Medical Services.

Rolls Up From Head--Has Low Crown for the suffering people of her couns} Pinafore Sailor Is Made in Felt "and Black Velvet. That Does Not Interfere With Lines of Brim. There is a strong ng tendency in France to simplify street hats to the point of he severity, and there is a strong effort here to trim all hats with a choice of buckles. ribbon, flowers, plumes, cords or embroidery. The sailor, with its straight brim, has given place to a pinafore sallor that was launched here early last spring. It is now made in felt pg black velvet and is sponsored by good milliners, It rolls up from this head and bas a low, crushed crown that does not interfere in any way with the lines of the brim. This hat is uo- trimmed, except fér a crown-band of satin ribbon and a flat bow at the side, or rather, this is the style in which it is advocated for street wear and worn by well-dressed women; but certain milliners provide its crown with a large wreath of colored roses or ragged chrysacthemums, and the effect is quite good. It is then appro- priate for an afternoon hat. It a woman likes the shape, she can in- dulge in both kinds and choose sep- arate colors. By the way, duplication is a strong point in the modern selection of clothes. he wi4 m who thinks éhe must have every gown in her ward- robe different from the other, would be aghast at the knowledge that cer- tain fashionable women are leading the way to having five gowns made for an entire season exactly alike, and five hats to go with them, exactly alike.
