Another man entered the office before the could answer. Larry returned At the time the wife and mother passed unobtrusively from the family fam-ily picture, Jacqueline had managed to complete a business course and was happy in her first position. Vince, harboring an idea that the motherless girl needed his care and protection, took time out to give the world some needed inventions. He always had intended to do that when he got around it. The Anthonys' Antho-nys' living room promptly became a workshop, housing an amazing miscellany of gadgets financed from Jacqueline's meager salary. Several years passed in this unusual un-usual situation. Jacqueline prospered, pros-pered, and finances became less of a problem. The girl lived two separate lives. One was in the world of business busi-ness where she exhibited unusual proficiency, appreciated by employers. employ-ers. . The' other life was almost entirely between the four walls of that living liv-ing room where she listened with patient pa-tient enthusiasm to Vince as he puttered put-tered with his contraptions. One of his favorite pursuits was to outline a world trip they would take as a first celebration.

The Anthony home had no room for guests. Nobody else would understand Vince. And so, all her acquaintances were made in the workaday world and remained there. With the building of the twenty-story twenty-story Raynear had come a change in the life of Jacqueline Anthony. A former employer arranged an opportunity op-portunity for her to become the new hotel's public stenographer. She was highly delighted; it meant being in business for herself at last At that time, the serious little stenographer with the shining cinnamon-brown hair had reached the age of twenty-two. And looked eighteen. eight-een. Days In the busy and fashionable Raynear opened an entirely new vista to Jacqueline Anthony's blue eyes. Here was a small world in itself, it-self, the inhabitants of which she came to know in a quietly friendly fashion. It was much like1 that round-the-world trip. Yet It all exerted a strange and steadily growing influence; it planted plant-ed seeds of revolt. Jacqueline Anthony An-thony began to appreciate more and more what her mother had endured for so many years. Growing fears assailed her. She was following the same path. Already she had missed the life enjoyed by most girls her age. A home, intimate friends, social so-cial contacts. Men had no part in her existence, save as she encountered encoun-tered them in business. It was all wrong. ' Then one day Vince announced blithely that one of his pet schemes had been adopted previously by a fellow inventor. He was dropping it for another project that offered infinitely in-finitely greater returns and . . "It won't be long now," he assured as-sured his daughter airily. "In six months, we'll be sailing." "Vince . . . I've got to tell you something." And Jacqueline found herself hurriedly reciting ber Declaration Dec-laration of Independence. Vincent Anthony had been on trial in his own house for a quarter century. cen-tury. Hereafter, he might find bed and board there, but not one cent for dry batteries. The family must and would have a growing savings account ac-count Jacqueline managed to keep her voice steady. There was no answering outburst Vince assumed a politely injured air.

It was a hard task for the girl to steel her heart against this martyr complex, but she knew instinctively that she was doing the right thing. For the two of them. It was doubly hard to witness his hurt air, going about like a small boy waiting for solacing negotiations. Three days of the new order, then Vince was missing when Jacqueline came home to prepare dinner. She was almost ready to "give in," had her father known. On the table was a note, a note the girl deciphered through blinding tears. Vince was very sorry, but he must conduct his work in a more congenial atmosphere. Following her first season of depression de-pression and anxiety, Jacqueline was rather ashamed to find a certain cer-tain feeling of relief taking possession posses-sion of her. She found a modern one-room apartment in a much more attractive part of the city and established herself there. She planned to start life over. To really live. A great mental uplift came from that Courtland street home. Very different from Jones street And business at the hotel was satisfactory, sat-isfactory, for the most part Miss Anthony, public stenographer, gained the reputation for rapid and accurate work. Slowly but surely, she built up a local trade in addition to the hotel's transients. Dreams seemed to be coming true at last Even the great dream of them all was slowly taking shape. Jacqueline was saving her money with calculating intent First there must be something against a rainy day. And Vince. when that was attended to . . . The crossing! It might be the one and only trip of her life. She might spend the rest of her days paying for it But it would be glorious and daring, There was but one trouble. If only there were some way to speed that cash reserve in the savings bank. It was a chance remark from old Martin Jacobs that showed her the .way. Jacqueline knew very little about Mr. Jacobs-, save that his occasional dictations revealed the fact that he lived somewhere out of the city. He must be wealthy, "How would you like to make some money?" had been his unexpected unex-pected question to the stenographer. "You could use it I dare say?" "Of course," was Jacqueline's cautious reply. "Do you ever invest in stocks, my dear?" "No, sir." "I'm amazed! You're probably the only girl in the city who doesn't" ,Mr. Jacobs lowered his voice. "Let me give you an inside tip. waicn an industrial called Southern Furnace. Fur-nace. Something nice is going to happen to it Buy some shares and hold them. You'll thank me, my dear girl." Jacqueline pondered the informa tion; she ventured some discreet questions to Archibald Potter the first time she had an opportunity. "So the fever has caught you. Miss Anthony?" Mr. Potter was tolerantly tol-erantly amused. Yes, he recalled hearing Southern Furnace mentioned favorably. It might be good for a flier. Why didn't Miss Anthony talk to Falk and Dennison. She might tell Grant Dennison that Potter sent her. Miss Anthony did. In a spirit of grand recklessness, Jacqueline invested in-vested a goodly share of her bank account in Southern Furnace. Mr. Jacobs was right Southern Furnace forged slowly but surely up in price. She purchased another modest block against Grant Dennison's lukewarm advice. It was evident that Mr. Dennison wasn't much of a gambler. ' Then something happened. The whole list grew erratic. Some stocks fell sharply and Southern Furnace showed an ambition to lead the retreat re-treat Almost in desperation she decided to have a talk with Dennison and learn the worst He was not in when she called. Today, he called upon her! The great dream suddenly had vanished into oblivion. Reduced to ash in the devouring maw of Southern South-ern Furnace. And now, Jacqueline Anthony had gambled her future. On a wild and unheard-of throw. For what? A snatched-at security? Paying for it with herself. Things of that sort never happened hap-pened in real life. When she saw Mr. Cutter again she would find that it all had been a hoax. If only she never had to see him.. She couldn't run away, though. She needed the Raynear worse than ever. She would tell Mr. Cutter . . . What? In some fashion, the day dragged to an end (TOBECOXTISIF.D Kathleen Norris Says; Old Men and Women Eat Too Much (Bell Syndicate WNU Service.)

By KATHLEEN NORRIS MOST old persons eat too much. That is why they so often are unhappy, annoying, ' useless and ill. This is an unpleasant truth, but it is one that makes a most important difference in one's life, when it is fully grasped. The difference between feeling feel-ing young and cheerful and eager to serve, and feeling heavy and old and ill is often the difference only between a sensible dinner and a foolish one.

But once inside you they can cause an amount of sheer mis ery that may end in death. Thousands Thou-sands of elderlv Dersons kill them selves with poison every year only it doesn t seem like poison because it comes off the family supper table. In one New England town I visited many years ago the old people spoke of "getting your shock" as though it was something the postman infallibly infalli-bly delivered between the ages of 55 and 60. "Her father got his shock last winter. win-ter. Poor Maria's had her shock. Why Lizzie got her shock when she wasn't but 32 beats me!" In winter this particular family, which comprised several families, consumed meals that would have satisfied lumbermen. They were all elderly, but they ate just as they had in vigorous youth. Every meal was embellished with hot breads and variegated jams; we had pie for breakfast and strong tea, with thick Jersey cream late at night Dumplings, Dum-plings, turkey dressing, fresh lobster lob-ster right out of the bay and hot muffins muf-fins were daily fare. One woman, complaining constantly con-stantly of sick headache, vertigo, heartburn and a dozen other ailments, ail-ments, called down to her daughter each evening for a sherry and egg flip as a night cap. Many Become Burdens. If all this resulted in a swift and clean exit from this mortal scene it wouldn't be so bad. But tt doesn t. The chronic dyspeptic, the patient sufferer from head colds ana indigestion, indi-gestion, headaches and chills, or from that perpetual languor and weariness that so many eioeriy women think is inevitable at their age these people don't die. No, they live on and on, a burden and expense to those who love them. And yet the fifties and the sixties six-ties and the seventies can be beautiful beau-tiful years, filled with vigor and health and service and the Joy of life. There is no key to that enviable envia-ble state more valuable than a de termination to STOP STUFFING. Some years ago I asked Irvin Cobb, who had been seriously 111. the secret of his restored . health, his improved figure, his tremendously tremendous-ly increased vitality. "Honey," said this old friend mournfully. "I'm tryin' to eat only twice too much from now on, instead of five times too much!"

Happiness Ahead. you will find that you can live a e yre -f various life, on just TO LIVE DON'T EAT! Of course, no one expects you to starve. But Kathleen Norris believes that many of the common ailments of older people are the result of over-indulgence. over-indulgence. They could get along very nicely, she maintains, main-tains, on about what our Victorian Vic-torian forebears consumed at five o'clock tea. You may feel that her plan is too drastic, but Kathleen Norris suggests that you try to eat as little, rather than as much, as you can. Don't stop at merely "cutting down" on desserts, gravy, hot breads and second helpings. Work out a systematic syste-matic diet and stick to it. Then you will have nothing to fear from the fifties, the sixties six-ties and the seventies. And, best of all, you won't have to bore your loving family and friends with your complaints about ailments you have no business having anyway. about what our Victorian forebears considered "high tea." You won't eat more in 24 hours than they ate in the way of eakes, hot buttered scones, toast cream, jam, marrons and chocolates at the cozy five o'clock fireside. Your breakfast will be what it is now; most of us aren't sinners at breakfast Your lunch will be a big plate of mixed salad with slivers of chicken or ham or crab or shrimp in it and some dark toast; and your supper will be a bowl of soup, more buttered toast, and some fruit. Not any more rich meat, sauces, gravies, starches, heavy sweets. Your sweets will be about what your baby grandson gets; cooked fruits, an occasional cookie, an occasional molasses taffy. Achieve this by degrees, and you will find that this diet is far more filling than it sounds. And with it comes freedom from all the choked, poisoned, dragging ills of the body. You will sleep as soundly as you did at the age of 10. We are very apt to feel, we aging women, that the younger generation owes us something. But we owe it something, too. Habitual complaints of "bad nights," headaches, weariness, weari-ness, physical discomfort worry our children, as their nursery ailments once worried us. To see Mama placidly plac-idly pouring cream over her mince pie, and then to hear her martyred description of having had a bad night and of suffering "those spots poor Grandpa always had before his eyes," infuriates loving children, even though they don't show it The one thing a devoted son or daughter wants from Mama or Dad is health and cheerfulness. The old man or woman may be of real use and comfort com-fort to the younger household, if he or she can forget bodily discom-forts discom-forts long enough to find the opportunity. oppor-tunity. A Boy's Last Wish.
