I “THE LOVE PENDULUM”
l By MARION RUBIN CAM
s "The Game Goes On"
CHAPTER XXXVIII.
But next day at tea ttaae I took
great care to have Xedda with me.
i So when the musician came, it was
to drink tea and carry on an in
ncrmal conversation. He did not
like NediV, as I guessed.
"She is so tall, so cold, like a
statue, so impersonal,” he told me
once. “I like not marhle statues,
t like—apple blossoms, such as you.”
"Apple blossoms fade—they live
only for a day. A marble statue is
eternal,” I answered.
—'Ah. you are witty, as well as
beautiful,” he answered, his hand
^ closing over mine.
“And I am very wise as well,” I
answered, and slipped my hand from
his. This was a few days after the
first tea. and Nardonski had come in
unexpectedly.
Meantime, Gwendolyn had come
down to see me, bringing the little
man Colin McReady, as she had
promised.
"He is an artist. Some day he will
1h> a great artist," Gwen said. "I
discovered him painting great things
in a garret. That is romantic in
ris, one does it on the Left Bank
in Montmartre. But it is merely
comfortable in New York.”
Mr. McReady laughed. He looked
over the chairs in my room, and
Anally pulled the most uncomfort
able over to the fireplace, where he
hunched himself up as I had seen
him first. I noticed, when I handed
iVlin Vila nun rtf too that ho Viurl
Kray-green eyes, remarkable eyes
...*vhen he opened them. Most of the
time he kept thejji half squinted—
he shut himself up behiniT them.
Win came home for tea that day
It was the first time he had been
home so early in weeks. I decided
it was Gwen's presence that had
brought him. but I said nothing.
I lit a cigarette—Gwen of course
bad been smoking ever since She ar
rived.
"We're dining with the Marsdens
tonight,” I told him. "Early, tor we
'bre going to a show. Then to Lewis’
•—it's an all-night party. Do you
t*el up to it?”
This was never the way I had an
i pounced a party before. Win glanc
ed at me in suropise.
_ "So nice to find two young people
M like you equally fond of going
I about.” Gwen said. "I thought at
first you were very demure and
tiuiet. Connie dear."
“I?” I pretended great surprise.
**No, I had to stay in because I
hadn't been well. I'm feeling splen
did now. Tomorrow Win, Nedda
l has a bridge party. As you don’t
play, I accepted provisionally for
you. Ted Mitchei will take me if
you do not want to go."
It appeared Win wanted to go.
Well, that was something gained.
By taking an independent attitude,
f I had at least won him over for
Lone evening. 1 lit another cigarette.
^ "I heard such an amusing’scandal
•.Ajday," I began.
t never had thought scandal was
-amusing” and I had never repeated
it before. Win listened. open

mouthed almost, while I told a story
with a slightly -disagreeable ending.
After the guests had left, Win
turned to me suddenly.
"Connie, I don't quite like to hear
you talk—like you did today. And
you never said you smoked. What’s
got into you?"
"Nothing, my dear boy,” I an
swered with apparent indifference.
"Give me another cigarette, please.”
“You'll be ill again. Come here,
I want to talk to you.”
"You haven't time,” I answered
cheerfully. “You have to dress for
dimer. Mrs. Marsden hates people
who are late.”
"You are flirting with that alleg
ed musician,” Win burst out.
I stood in the doorway of my
room, smiling at him.
"Suppose 1 am!” I answered. "I’m
flirting with you too.” He gave a
sudden laugh and came over the
room to me. Before I could close
the door he had caught me and kiss
ed me.
For an instant I wanted to pro
test that I did not like the musician
nor anyone else—but him. I wisely
refra-ued. and when he let me go, 1
went Into my room to dress..
"All right, go ahead if it amuses
jo’i," he said.
As 1 dressed I wondered whether
I was doing right. I did not want
Win to approve of all this—if he did,
wouldn’t it mean that he cared even
less than I thought?
But the game was begun. It had
to go In. Next day I phoned Colin
McKeady to go with me to an art
exhibit, a private view of a French
painter's work. I brought him home
to have tea. Win found us together
wher. he came in.
Having begun the game, I had to
play it through. I went everywhere,
not to one party a night, but to two
or three. I took Win to all the
shows. I went to concepts with
Nardonski, I had Colin come for
tea every day I was home. When
there was nothing to do of an eve
tung, l naa people come in. i never
went to bed before one and two.
and then slept from exhaustion until
late the next day.
I grew thinner and I had to use
rouge every evening to take away
the whiteness of my face. Win
thrived under such a regime; his su
perb health never failed him.
I flayed the game harder and
harder. Every man I met at Gwen's
whom she seemed especially inter
ested in, I deliberately flirted with.
Not all of them liked me. Many of
them, however, I added to the list
of thoso who dropped in for tea
every afternoon I was home. 1
hated this sort of life. If it had
not been for Colin, I could not have
gone through with it.

Confessions Or A
Husband!
The Man’s Side of Married Life
A Self-Invited Guest
I was not greatly surprised when,
a few days after our foursome at
the roadhouse—which had turned
into a fivesome—Edith called me
up.
"Don’t you want to take a charm
ing lady to luncheon?’’ she asked.
"Don’t I!” I echoed.
"All right. What time should I
make fny appearance on the scene?’’
“Where are you now?”
"Shopping at McComber’s. Must
I tell you what I am buying?"
"No." (I said that hastily). "If
you take the subway downtown, I'll
meet you at the William street sta
tion at halt-past twelve.”
“Are you afraid your stenogra
pher will become jealous if I call
for you at the office again?”
It was irritating the way she had
picked on that sore spot. Of course,
no one would become Jealous, but I
knew there would be a lot of com
ment if she came by for me at .he
office again.
Talk about women having to be
careful of their steps! A married
man who so much as looks at an
other woman Is the victim of more
untimely curiosity than a two-head
ed zebra.
There were some things I had to
admire about Edith. One was her
courage—some people would have
called it cheek. Another was her
habit of being punctual. She was
onilme that day to the very minute.
"Should I have worn a heavy
veil?” she demanded. "You know
you do seem so afraid of being seen
with me.”
“Nonsense,” I returned easily.
“You may not be flattered, but the
truth Is you don't look a bit like an
adventuress.”
“For heaven’s sake don’t tell me
I look like a respectable married
woman. Not in this skirt!”
"Is respectability so terrible?”
“No, humdrum. Boring.”
“Still, you haven’t escaped it.”
“It’s very discouraging of you to
say so. I’m going to gbt even by
picking out the most expensive items
on the menu. Are we going to the
same place for lunch?”
"No. we’ll try another restaurant
thi3 time.” I remembered what Dot
had said about Bristol’s chophouse,
and how she had suspected us of
lunching in one of the alcoves there.
I was going to see that she had
nothing to complain of this time.
So today we went to Francois',
where the prices were much higher
and the food not nearly so good.
Edith fulfilled her threat by order
ing a luncheon which began with
clams and ended with an ice, and
included almost everything in be
tween.
“I don’t eat any hreakfast,” she
explained, "because It’s bad for my
ilgure, and I worked so hard this
morning spending poor George’s
money that I’m as hungry as a
lion.”
"As a couple of lions,” was my
only comment.

HOROSCOPE
‘Tfca stars inclln but do not coirpsL'*
Thursday, June 23, 1921
(Copyright. 1D21, by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
Venus rules strongly for good to
day, according to 'astrology. Saturn
is in mildly benefle aspect.
It is a day most favorable to the
projects of women making for suc
cess, especially in real estate or
farming.
Large enterprises will bo init
iated by women in the United States
and they will be carried forward
rapidly, but the forces that start
good activities els<p arraign the pow
ers of evil.
While women will accomplish
much in large constructive altruis
tic movements, there will be many
obstacles interposed by their own
sex.
Intrigue will be more practiced
by Amercan women than formerly,
for there will arise many with great
power to plan and carry our sin
ister activities.
This should be a propitious day
for starting on Journeys by land.
It is a fortunate rule under which
to engage in mining or farming, for
Doth will bring large returns within
the year.
Venus in the second house in
trine aspect to the Moon. Jupiter
and Saturn seem to be favorable to
the revenue and promises wise leg
islation.
International labor disputes are
still foreshadowed and in this coun
try women are to take leadership
or to become members of industrial
board in more than one state.
Many strange deaths will occur
in the next month and drowning
will be numerous.
The inclination to commit sui
cide may be strong in persons of
education and high position.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of rather a quiet
year.
Children born on this day may
be quick-tempered and impatient,
but these subjects of Cancer us
uallv have great success in life.

How To Get Well
Sa-tf, tor instance, your liver
does not work properly. The
cause for this Is not the liver
itself, but pressure on the nerves
that connect it with the brain.
This reduces the amount of life
impulses to the liver, and the
effect is liver trouble.
Therefore, to take anything
for the liver, tries to cure the
effect without removing the
cause, and results, if any, are
not lasting. So it is with prac
tically every ailment. Chiro
practic alone recognizes and re
moves the real cause of diseases,
and, therefore, restores health
permanently. Investigate. Con

Paris Says: “Combs”
These fashions come from Paris. It does not matter whether you
are going in for the high Spanish headdress or are wearing your hair
in the low roll, the comb is tho thing that fashion decrees. Combs
are being shown in all sizes and shapes, the bigger the better. The
immense comb shown in tho top picture is of ornate design and is used
by fashionable Paris to top off an elaborate coiffure. The wide comb in
the lower picture is worn in France with the simple bun, the hair being
smoothly combed back from the forehead.
Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
Use plenty of oiled paper to wrap
sandwiches and cakes when packing
your picnic luncheon and pack snug
ly so things won’t shake.
Wrap every ten or dozen sand
wiches in oiled paper and then in
an old napkin. Then wrap in ordi
nary wrapping paper. Sandwiches
packed in this fashion will bo just
as fresh when opened after several
hours as if put up in a regular sund
wich box.
Hard boiled eggs should be shell
ed and wrapped in oiled paper. Each
piece of cake should be wrapped
separately and then all tho pieces
wrapped again in oiled paper before
putting in a box or wrapping in a
napkin. When it comes to packing
tlie basket, till up any empty corners
or cracks with crumpled paper. And
as to sandwiches themselves, eacii
half of the bread should he lightly
buttered. This prevents the bread
from absorbing the filling.
Picnic sandwiches are not tea
sandwiches and the bread should not
be too thin or the sandwiches made
in two-inch squares.
Here are nine sandwiches, inex
pensive and easy to make.
Left-over Meat Sandwich

parsley, mayonnaise dressing.

put through the food chopper. If
chopped, add celery and parsley and
mix smooth with mayonnaise. Put
between slices of white bread and
butter.
Pork Sandwiches
Put cold roast pork or chops
through the food chopper. Mix with
chopped mixed pickle or chopped
sweet pickles and put between slices
of white bread and butter. If mixed
pickle is used, be careful that the
mixture is not too moist.
Raisin Sandwiches
One-half cup chopped raisins, 14
cup chopped nuts, 1 package cream
cheese, % teaspoon salt, few grat
ings nutmeg, 1 tablespoon cream.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and

Grace had married him out weal.
She hadn’t seen any of his family ex
cept himself before she became a
part of it.
Of course It wasn't necessary, for.
as she said, she wasn’t marrying the
family. _
But somehow things didn't go
well out west. Grace discovered
that what she supposed was poise
and reserve in the man she married,
was simply stupidity and lack of
ambition and that unless she wanted
to keep on taking dictation the rest
of her life she’d better accept her
new husband's suggestion and go
east to his parents.
So they went.
And Grace, with all of her swag
ger, her independence, her almost
practiced disregard for trudit ons of
any kind, had something of toe ef
fect of a bomb on a table of Sat
suma in the atmosphere her hus
band’s mother had treated. Every
thing seemed to snap. The very air
was electrified.
Grace Sneer#
When her husband's mother had
some old furniture, lovely old
things, brought out of storage, and
sent out to tho new apartment,
thinking she was doing tho wife
of tho not any too ambitious hus
band a favor, Grace was scornful.
"1 think she is .lust doing that
to insult me,” she said.
And when the elderly woman
and her son proudly brought out the
family record one evening. Grace
sneered and walked over to the win
dow.
Whose Fault?
She had no patience with such
things! What did ancestors count?
And so it continued until the moth
er-in-law's calls became less and less
frequent and the atmosphere dur
ing them more and more frigid.
And now Grace is getting a di
vorce and she says the fault is all
her mother-in-law's, that she and
Harold would have gotten along if
it hadn't been for her mother-in-law.
Hilt what she didn’t understand
was that one little girl shouldn’t ex
pect to go into a. family and revo
lutionize it, and that the philosophy
productive of the most happiness is
tho one which respects the opinions
of others.

Is there any cure for “enlarge
ment of the heart and leakage?’’
The enlargement of the heart is
probably an effort on tho part of
nature to compensate for tho leak
age. In leakage of the heart, the
valves do not close tight. An In
creased amount of work is thus
thrown on the heart. In conse
quence of this work the heart usual
ly becomes larger and often as a
further result, the circulation is car
ried on fairly well. When this stage
has been reached, the condition is
said to be "compensated.” If your
condition is such that there is fairly
good compensation, do not worry
further about any cure. Be thank
ful that the heart Is able to do so
well. Be sure, however, not to over
exert yourself, for the extra work
thus thrown on tho heart may be
more than It can stand, and com
pensation will he broken. It is im
possible to give you more specific
advice.

"The Squirrel's Letter” |
The next letter that Nick read was
from Scramble Squirrel. Here's what
he said:
"Dear Mr. Sprinkle Blow:
"Please don't send any rain for
awhile. Samantha and I have used
up the store of nuts and Scorns that
we had put away In our tree-pantry
for the winter, and now we are using
the ones wo stored away under
ground. As It will likely be some
time before nuts and acorns are ripe
again (for dear knows the leaves on
the trees where they grow aren’t
even out yet). Would you mind keep
ing the weather good and dry so they
won't spoil? If they are kept in a
dry place they keep finely, but there’s
nothing spoils ’em quicker than damp
soggy weather.
"'Nother thing! We've Just come
home from Scrub-Up Land where we
got spring cleaned, and we're clean
as new grass. We don’t like mud
and we get dreadfully mussed dig
ging In our ground pantry after a
damp spell. So If you'll Just kindly
send dry w'eather, we’ll feel greatly
obliged.
Yours In hopes.
SCRAMBLE S. SQUIRREL,
(and wife)
"P. S.—Will you kindly also keep
Jack Frost away. He’s very uaeful
to Os in the fall to crack open nut
burrs and fetch down acorns and so
forth. But just now we've all taken
off our winter undies and we’d he
obliged for a warm spell. Spring’s f
no time for Jack any way. the way
ho freezes things ’n’ all. S. S. S.”
"Band o’ Ned,” groaned Sprinkle
Blow to Nancy and Nick. "Do you
s'pose I've got to go to the earth
again and call off Jack Frost? Why
I’ve just given him a job to stop old
Man Flood's mischief!"
"They don't know what is good for
them, do they?” said Nick. "If Jack
Frost didn’t chase old Man Flood
their ground rantry would
