MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
What Madge Saw in the Girl Dicky Raved Over So Enthusiastically
1TTEIA1 we are In plenty of time."
VV We were scnted, Dicky and I. In
THAT a woman can comblno tho do
meatlo virtues with public welfare
work Is demonstrated dally by tho titled
women of England, many of whom takn
nn Intenio porsonnl Intorcst not only, In
tholr households nnd In tho well being of
ttio tenantry, but In big questions boforo
tho nation.
Ijidy llosallnd Cnrllalo, who recently
caused such a sensation by having more
than ono thousand bottles of wln tho
contonta of tho collars on tho cstnto of
her lato husband, tho Unrl of Carlisle
emptied Into n holo In tho ground, belongs,
to this typo.
tn addition to her pronounced vlowo on
tho tempornnco quoitlon, she hns tnken
tho stump in tho cause of surf rage, and
Is n stnnch Llbornt, although tho Karl
belonged to tho Consorvntlvo party.
Tholr largo family oloven children Is
n proof of tholr domestlo felicity. It In
said tho sons nil grow up ns Conserva
tives, whllo tho daughters espoused tho
sauso of tho Liberal).
This onorgotlo woman 1 a skilled
farmer, and personally superintends tho
workmon sho omploys, riding all over tho
country, and becoming acquainted with
every man, woman nnd child for mllos
around.
THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE
'I QtioatloiM HUbmtttttl to thla department must be writing -nn Mn nt

the lrnltlnir room of the Iconic Island ItalN
rdsd. Dicky had bought our tickets to Mar
Vln, the little village which wns to be the
starting point of our country ramble, and
wo were putting In the time before our train
wss ready In gating at the usual morning
scene Iri a railroad station
There were not many pasiengers going
out to the stations on tho Island, but scores
of commuters were Imrrjlnir through tho
station on their way tn their otllces nnd
other places of employment.
"You don't see many of the commuters
up here," Dlrky remarked. "There'B a pas
sage direct from tho trains to the subway
on the lower eel, nnd most of them take
that. Borne of tho women come up to prink
a bit In the waiting room, and some of the
men come through here to get cigars or
papers, hut tho big crowd Is down on the
main train level "
"Do you notice how contented nnd
healthy most of them look?" I naked
"It's a different looking sot from tho or
dinary city crowd," Dicky acquiesced. Idly
"Of courso. they nro healthier They lUo
moro regular lives nnd hnn plenty of fresh
air. Uiil not for me In tho winter time
Too deadly dull, nnd If you want to romn
Into town It takes a year or two to got In
nnd bnck Hut In tho summer time, when
you only have to got In onco or twice a
week, It's tho only llfo."
I hardly heard him. for t wns so In
terested In n girl who had Just pome Into
the waiting room. I had nover seen so
self-possfssed a rrcnturo In my life She
wns unusually beautiful, with golden hair
that was so real the most captious person
could not suspect that hair of bolng dyed
Iter eyes wero dark, nnd tho unusual com
bination of eyes nnd hair fitted n face
with regular features nnd a fair skin I
had socn Christmas nnd lister cards with
faces like hers nut I had never seen
any one like her In real llfo, nnd I nm
afraid I stnrcd nt her ns hnrd ns did every
ono elao In the waiting room.
"Hy Jove'" Dicky drew In a deep
breath "Isn't sho tho most ripping beauty
you ocr saw?"
His eyes were following her lithe, perfect
figure ns nho walked down tho waiting
room I hnvo never scon a pretty girl
appear so utterly unconscious of tho glances
directed toward her as alio did.
Hut with a woman's Intuition I knew
that undementh hor calm exterior sho wns
noticing and appraising every admiring
took sho received, t could not liao told
how I knpw this but I did know It
tiho snt down a llttlo dlntnuco from us,
nnd Dicky frnnhly tumid quite nround
to stnro nt hor.
"I wonder If she Is going on our train,"
ho" mused "Hy Coorge, I never saw any
thing like her In my life "
I looked nt him In open nmaxement.
tinged not a llttlo with resentment. He
was with inc. his brldo of less than a
month, for our first day's outing since
our marriage, nnd yet his eyes wero fol
lowing this other woman with tho most
nucn admiration I felt hurt, neglected,
but I wns determined ho should not think
mo Jcalousi
t'd like to gel a glimpse of her hands snd
feet. Perhaps she will sit near us In the
train. f she does, t promise you I am
going to stare nt her unmercifully."
I tried to think of something to say
which would not betray my resentment nt
his open admiration of tlili girl. Hut no
words came to my mind I saw, however,
that It did not matter. Hlcky would not
have heard anything I said anyway. He
was too absorbed In studying the girl.
Nlno'tenths of tho men In tho station were
doing the same thing,
Most of the women wero looking at her
also, some with hostile glances, others with
a critical suney, while a few wero honestly
admiring her.
I had to admit that her clothes atone
were well worth looking ot. Kllher she, or
some one for her, had carefully designed
them with but one thought, that they should
suit her. Rho wns so very blonde In hair
nnd skin, so regulnr of feature that she
really would hnvo been lacking In color
except for her clothes.
Hut the small lint that sat so prettily
upon her head would havo brightened nn
absolutely colorless woman It wns mado
of ccrlso Velvet with n band of brown fur
resting ngnlnst her fair hair, nnd geranium
blossoms, so exquisitely fashioned ns tn
appear real, scnttered r-nrelcpily around tho
brim Thu drown of the fur was llko the
brown of her eyes, whllo tho daring color
of tho het nnd tho flowers vhlflcd her
fate
now maikii: knhw
Her gown ns a tlght-flttlng, severe, one
piece gown of velvet, of a blue so dark ns
to bo nearly black The neck was cut In
tho "V" to bo found In almost every gown,
and there wero touches of the same cerlso
civet that her hat held In tho piping of
tho bodlco nnd electee
Her toot wns a handsome one of pony
skin, long nnd fitting her llko n glove I
mentally npprnlsed It ns halng coat mora
money In Itself than every article I had
on, furs nnd nil.
When I first looked nt hor I thought her
to bo a woman of Wealth Hut a mora
rareful scrutiny told mo that her clothon
were two or three years old, carefully made
over and disguised I,ong yenrs of fuming
nnd twUtlng my own wnrdrnbe, for I nm a
fairly good needlewoman, btracd to mo
tho secrets of this oilier woman'it make
shifts. Hho had mado her hat hcnwlf. I was
sure of It, and thcro was a ploco In ono of
tho breadths of hor skirt showing whero tho
material hod been pieced. That breadth
told mo tho story of the gown It was nn
eld ono ripped nnd sponged nnd preoicd and
mado up ngaln Then tho slcoe of the
potty cont had been mado orr I could
sen whero a difference of cut nt tho wrists
and collar had heon hidden by bands of
tho snmo fur which formed tho foundation
ot her hat.
T had n sudden sympathy for tho girl
Hho wns making a gallant fight ngnlnst bad
luck I'rom tho texture of her clothing
one could seo that not ery long ngo she
had been possessed of money. I wondend
how she hnd lost It.

There are Huck Finns and Penrods and
William Haxters, and then, again, there Is
Mark Tldd. The differentiation, placing
Master Tldd In n class by himself, Is Justi
fiable, Inasmuch as Master Tldd Is ono of
those characters created by the Imagina
tion and never found In real life. His re
semblance, likewise those of his companions,
to the red-blooded, mud-smeared boyB of
Twain nnd Tarklngton, rests solely with
a stutter and n pair of pants. As a book
for boys It Is a trifle better than Frank
Merrlwell, and Its being Issued by the house
of Harper assures a certain prestige nmong
a certain class. Just why Mr. Kelland, who
reached quite a few fine points In "Sudden
Jim," should do this sort of writing, is not
clear.
