from a girl named Violetta. who
wishes to know how to attract

On Christmas day. Barbara is
handed a clipping to iollow up
ior the paper. It tells oi the
marriage oi Bruce to VIOLEI'I'A
CRANBY. an employo oi a box
factory.
Barbara rushes for the ills oi
the Telegraph and begins to read
the lorclorn column for weeks
back.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXVI
THE leaves or the papers rustlod.
Barbara's hands were shaking so
she could scarcely road the
words. She laid the tile on the desk
and crouched over it.
Beginning at a date about three
months before. the lettersoi Violette
ran through the lovclorn columns.
From beer stains and eyelash curlers
to red satin wedding dress. they
painted a graphic picture oi the girl
who wrote them. They told her love
story. starkly. without abadlngs.
Barbara read the answers even
more eagerly than the letters. Now
utd then her mouth Itwisted curious-
1y.
The noise in the cues increased. as
the morning advanced. but she did
not bear it. The rush oi the first
edition swirled about the corner
where she sat. and then the second
and the third. She read on. through
the little, notes from Violette. and her
own nippant replies.
At last Ibo had read them all. She
got, up and put the ills back in its
page. Wells was call!“ her

Ho handed her a list or telephone
calls to make. then looked sharply at
her. "What’s the matter? Are ydu
ill. or lust tired? You look all in.“
“It's nothing." said Barton weari-
1y. "I'll be all right."
She was never able to runabou-
nitsrwudl what she did the rest of
that morning. There were telephone
calls. but. shedldnotknowtowbom.
Bob iodides asked her true- but
she looked at him blankly did
not answer. Somebody gave her a.
story to rows-its. and she was out

she rose. Wells frowned. "Don't

"I don't wont to rest. That‘s the
last thing I want.” cried Barbara.
with desperation in her voice. The
city editor shook his head in a pair
sled way.
When he was gone. Barbara ran to
the file again. Laying it on a. table.
she began to clip the Violetta corre

came cut of the morgue room
"Whewi Barbara Hawley. you'll

the old man will boil you in oil ii he
finds you've been tearing his precious
tiles?"
Barbara did not answer him. Her
mouth was light.
A little attai- noon. shs gathered up
the clippings and thrust them into
her pocket.
"‘Stiile nacht. hoillgo nacht." The
treblo“voices of children lioated up
from the streets below to the room
where Barbara sat on the hearth
rug. wrapped in a woolly robe. her
mother's Christmas giit.

listened to the enrolling. It earns

She throw open the sash. and draw
a. deep. cool breath. Vagrant broom
chilled her and she pulled the robe
around her.
Christina trees were silhouetted
against imnt windows in the houses
across the street.
The children finished their singing
and went away. The lights in the
houses opposite winked out one by
one and the Christmas tree windows
became more black patches.
Barber! went back to her hearth

she drew a coupled mass of clip-

"Because I was asked to write a

do. Yet I think it's funny. too. For
me to give her directions how to
catch him. all the time thinking he
was some cheap two-ior-a-penny
sheik. And it was Bruce—Bruce!"
She seized the clippings and began
to sort them ou't. "Just listen here.
I tell her to be sympathetic and soli-
oiialcing. She writes back that it
worked and he wants to take her out.
“Then I advise her how to charm
him on their first date. She comes
back with a request for more in-
structions in arousing. serious inten-
tions. I tell her flippantly to be ‘all
woman'. to drop her own interests
and listen to him talk about his—to
give him flattery and admiration and
unselfish love—to be a true holpnuts
and friend. Isn't that gorgeous
irony? I tell her to do all the things
I'd never do. and she iollows direc-
tions and wins the only man I ever
wanted. And look at me!"
"But you didn't want him ior your-
self. Babs." reminded her mother.
"Oh, well. I'm not crying about

"More than he can do. I promised
