Peggy was accustomed to a. string of small oomph-nits each morning from her employer, and they did not worry her. '

"I have had a cup. I don't want my mo continued Mrs. ire- layvney Deevishly. She was sitting "P in bed propped by ollows. Ob- Vwlksb’, she had once been good 1001mm. but now she was much too fat for health or good looks. and though not yet 60 she looked old- er. She still had a fine nezrd of white hair and was proud of’ her hands which were plump but well shaped. She wore a quilmd pink bcd jacket over her nightdress and a lace cap on her head.

“Did Edgar arrive?" she questlon- '

0d. “I wfsn he wouldn't bring friends without warning. Who is this Mr. Chcsham?"

_“You nerd not trouble about, him. Mrs. Trclawney." Peggy misu- cred. and was surprised to find how steady her voice was. "He had a telephone message late fast night and left at once. Mr. Trelawney and I drove him to T‘zl""t'l0ll."

"Gone away." said Mrs. Ire- lilWllQY. "I am not sorry. I am not "filial to entertaining visitors. And talking of visitors, remind me rliat I have to call on Mrs. Jardinc She has taken Snipes Barrow and is moving in at once. I hope she will be a desirable tenant. Her refer- circcs are good. so Mr. itlcakln tells me. Put it down, Peggy.” Peggy made a. note on a tablet by the bedside and Mrs. 'I‘relawney con- tinued.

"How long ls Edgar going w stav?" She did not. wait for a reply to her question. She rarely rlvl. “I don't suppose ‘he came to so: ‘no. it's money he is after. Anvays IYIOIWY- I can't think what he does with it. Is he up yet?"

“T think it's unlikely." said Peggy with a smile. “Now let me put you tidy. The doctor is coming at ten."

"Dr. Arkwright. Yes, I like him, Peggy. He \l\'€ me something that made me sleep well last night. A very competent young man. I think he understands me." She went on talking and continued to do so vJtile Peggy spongcd her face and hands and brushed her hair. Strictly speaking, this was Rose's job but lVlrs. Trelawney preferred to have Peggy look after her.

A few minutes later Rose an- nounced Dr. Arkwright and Peggy slipped out of the room.

It. was a quartci‘ of an hour be- fore he came into the dmzvmug- rrom vtlzere she was waiting.

“She's bet-tor," he said. “She can get up if she likes. I hcar Ches- hnm has gone."

“Yes, left late night," Peggy answered. She hated nng. “You didn't let young Trelawaey

bollicr his mother?"

"He hasn't seen her _v'.:t," Peggy told him, "but he will wart to do so some time to-day."

“Wait till she's up.’ Arkwright said. He gave Peggy a qua-it. sharp look. “You're not looking too fit," he remarked.

Peggy's eyes widened a trifle. This was the first time that Ark- wright had made any personal re- mark whatever.

“I'm all right," she anwsered. "A little short. of slccp-thats all."

“You'd better go up tn your Druids Den and take a sies a after lunch." said Arkwright, and was surprised to see Peggy shiver. "You're not, all right," he rotor-ted. “You have a. (Iziil. I've a mind to send you to bed." Peggy recovered.

WIDOWS NEED ADVICE BUT THEY RARELY ACCEPT IT

Womem Who Are Left Money Find Them- selves Easy Prey And Victims Of Others With Itching Fingers

AAQAAA-

Dear Miss Dix-Why hasn't some one written a book of advice to wid- °‘”" Wm‘ "“"'°'i.‘“' ’i.‘°‘°“t°°wi3..$*.“i..‘l°i"°i.¥‘tsfiibltiéfiiéinllfittét ti‘ the“? I m elillw the gritfters ave tried to rob me or whet I

have. But God has been kind and endowed me with a gift for detecting a fake, and this goes both for money and sentiment. For now. after having been wooed for six months by a man with a Clark Gable courtship and promises of mar- riage and love that will last until the earth reaches the Ice Age, he calls me up on the phone and informs me that we will Just remain friends. To which I say: Amen. at do you think about it? IVIRS. N- B.

ANSWER-I agree with you that widows seem to be generally regarded as the legitimate prey of every grnfter and chiscler. They head the sucker list and everybody who has a fake scheme, or wildcat stocks, or wants to borrow money without security descends upon them. >, _ They ore importuned to buy orange groves in

» ‘ Iceland and lost mines in Peru, and all their needy and greedy relatives run a race to sec which can get to her first and get the best of the pickings.

ITCHING FINGERS BUSY

There seems to be something about a widow having insurance money that makes peoples’ fingers itch to get. hold of it. Nor can any unattached impecunious man, who has never been able to make a living for himself. pass the widows door unmoved. He feels it is his duty to go in and hang up his hat in hcr hall and let her support him the balance of his life. Peo lc are always accusing widows of being on the husband hunt, but. it is tie other way about. Any widow with money in her pocketbook ia literally pursued by hungry suitors.

I also agree with you that there are no people on earth who need ad- vice s0 badly as widows. or who are so little liable tn take it. Probably in the flush of having the first personal liberty she has ever had in lier life the widow is a little drunk on freedom and ls determined to do exactly what shc pleases.

Hence she turns a deaf ear to the warnings of her old friends who implore her to keep a tight clutch on her monev and invest it in gilt-edge securities. instead of speculating in blue-sky investments that are called to her intention by altruistic promoters whose hearts ache for bereaved W'ld0\\'>. and who want to help her increase her income bv paying her hunrlrorl per cent dividends instead of the measly ones her husband was Sntisflcd with. Nor does the widow listen kindly to those who try to make her understand the difference between principal and interest. which is why we have so manv Door widows among us.

MANY \VON‘T TAKE ADVICE

Widows also need a lot of advice about how to pick out second hus- bands. but they are no more amenable to that than they are to financial counsel. They are lonesome. It has been a 1on2 time since any man paid them compliments. or sent them flowers, or made love to them. Mld so practically any glib talking man with a keen line who tells them how he adores them and how good he will be to their children can sweep them off of their feet and marry them. without their ever bothering to even find out hits middle name, where hc came from. or whether he has another Wife or no .

Oh, ycsfwldows need a lot of gdvice.‘ but they won't take it. WOMAN SHOULD MARRY SUPERIOR
