THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, JULY 24, 1922. PAGE FIVE MM by Marion Rubin cam SYNOPSIS OP PRECEDING CHAPTERS Pandora Nicholson is so shy and self conscious that it is almost agony for her to meet new people or go into a room where there are strangers. She lives, as a 'poor relation." with her Uncle Peter and Aunt Maude, and their daughter her cousin Gladys who is the belle of the little town of Norris City. Her own father, Jim, lives there too affectionate, impractical, unreli ' able, looked down on by his prosperous brother. At a party where Dora is neglected, as usual, she meets Morton Newberry, it shy. studious boy, who seems at tracted to her. A CALLER Chapter 7 The reason why Pandora, at 21. was as socially backward as an undevel oped girl of 16, was a simple and tragic one. And a common one. But it was a long time before the girl found this out, and a still longer lime before she was able to remedy it. Her Aunt Maude, in kindly mo ments, said she was "born shy." In less kindly moments, she said she was 'born a ninny." The girl heard both criticisms frequently. When her father tried to urge her to join in the young people's parties, she held back and said: 'No, I'd rather not. I feel so awk ward. And I can't ever think of any thing to say." Her father laughed at this. She was anything but tongue-tied with him! He concluded she !was joking, and promptly forgot all about it.- He al ways forgot unpleasant things as soon r.s possible. The next time he was reminded. Dora suggested: "Let's go for a walk instead. They won't missus." And then he was delighted, because it gave him some hours of her compan ionship, and she was a charming com panion to him. Only once he argued the point. "I don't see why you keep repeating that about not talking. Why, don't you remember that little hotel we. Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes wages weren't enough then to allow for care of the baby." "Well, you had them both telling you the history of their lives, and then you went off and found him a job " "It was only finding out that he had a talent, being tactful with men. As soon as they made him foreman of that foreign work gang, he was all right He could understand them and the other foreman only irritated them." "Well, you had the ability to fit the square peg into the round hole!" Jim concluded tnumpnantiy. He never thought how square a peg the girl was when she came to the round hole of her own problem. "He only lacked confidence," Dora said. And it never occurred to her that that was what she lacked in enor mous degree. She thought her father flattered her because he was her fa ther. Yet, after being with him, she gained a little of his confidence. Then something such as this Sunday morning incident happened, and every shred of self belief was torn away from her. For three days while the storm made going out almost impossible, she went about the house in a state of in tense depression. The blizzard made it impossible to go to church. Monday it still snowed spasmodically, the little city was blanketed thick with a white drift. Discontent, disturbance and de pression existed in the Nicholson house all because the sugar supply gave out, and Peter liked everything sweet and syrupy. Gladys party was to blame, but somehow the blame was shifted around to Dora, who was look-1 ajj. fu upon as uaving ciiramiuea anoiner stupid blunder. Aunt Maude, upset and cross because Peter was cross, took it out by lectur ing over everything. The actual sugar blunder was forgotten, of course. It was a small thing it was merely the sense of disturbance that lasted. fcafc "7 - "i '-..a'.o i 1 s -y J working, to rub vaseline or oil intoi i all the edges of the nails at night. j Another suggestion is keep an orange wood stick and a pair of mani- j cure scissors and a small pointed nail file in the bathroom cupboard. Then when the hands are washed the nails can be cleaned while they are still damp and easy to do. and loose bit3 of skin can be clipped off before they have a cnance to grow larger ana make the fingers sore. The purpose of the orange stick is to push back the cuticle around the nail, an atten tion the very busy woman will always slight, although it would save her hangnails. Connie: A soap in which there is some tar makes a satisfactory sham poo for some people, as the tar is an tiseptic and many scalps are in need of just such, treatment. Tar soap should only be used, however, on dark hair. Brushing the hair every night will have no effect upon dandruff. You need a good tonic for this condition in Housekeepers!

And you've put the best milk jug on the rickety shelf by the steps " And so it went on. 'I am stupid," Dora told helself again and again as she went about her household duties. 'Why do I do every thing wrong? When Aunt Maude goes on so, I simply can't think. It must be a poor sort of brain that gets befogged to easily." But Tuesday it was possible to get to the stores, so she made her way down town to repair her recent blunder. On the way she met Morton Newberry helping clear the sidewalks, j "Do you mind if I come around to see you some evening soon?" he asked. And she smiled and said "yes." She j went home feeling curiously pleased. Morton was the first man who had ever asked to call on her. He appeared next night. But Aunt Maude announced in this way: "Gladys, Morton Newberry is down stairs to see you. Put on your silk waist and go down. Dora and I will finish in the kitchen." It never occurred to her that any man would come to see anyone but her own daughter! Tomorrow A Confidential Diary Organization Meetings Of G. 0. P. District NEWCASTLE, Ind., July 24.
