Thompson YOUNG Mrs. Jim C. sat alone In her cozy living-room, not In Idleness, as one would have supposed, to look at her. but Intent on solving a very serious imKlnm 1..tlllh fnr f m fl t tA llPf. YeS. SHO was thinking and thinking hard, with lips thoufir-ttuuy pursea. ana Drown mumi m 'i decided frown. So far she wished she had accepted one of those Invitations for tho nfternoon for she couldn't think of .a thing to help her trouble. It had .ill brgun while she and Jim .were on their summer vacation a few weeks be fore, and stopping at a mountain hotel. There' was, of course, the porch gossip there, and while Eleanor detested It she lie a tutA.mmik.niii tn talk tn when Jim wasn't there, and she had been about to loin the group one afternoon wnen sho heard her name mentioned, the sound coming clearly In through the open wln do'w. She stopped and turned to go, but the, phrases "pretty and well dressed.' "nothing but society,"- "he treats her like a baby doll." camo clearly to her oars She turned and fled to her room, her cheeks burning. For, alas, she be gan to realize that much as Bhe hated thpse words and what they Implied they were more or less true. For Jim. her big,' handsome adoring husband, only laugied when sho tried to talk of seri ous things or asked questions about his work, nnd promptly changed tho sub . Klin decided then and there that she' -'would do something. She'd show' hlrrt she waa no "baby doll" ana wouldn't be treated like one, either. E'er tho short remainder of their ,ra catldn she tried to forget it and hv .71 good time, but she tucked her ;ro sojvs away for future referenced And now. liere she waa back In town set tled In her lovely home, and ready to begin on her problem. That far she Had gone, ana no runner, wnen ner eye-' suddenly lighted on a pamphlet which sho had thrown carelessly aside that very morning. It advertised a short secretarial course, of a few monum only, She picked it up thoughtfully, and I with a dim but growing resolve shot read It through carefully, word lot word. "I'l do IV she cried aloud, at. thoMbrllllancy of the Idea. "I'll show Jim that I can do something besides wear pretty clothes and gp to parties and be treated llko a 'baby doll.' " So, In great secrecy and with many little lies and deceits to Jim and her friends, who wondered at her absenco from all daytime society gatherings, she took the course, and at tho end of the prescribed time waa given a flno position by the school. To-her great astonisn mept she found her employer to be a very Influential business friend of Jim's. She had never met him. as good luck would have It, and though Jim had. sug nested many times that they havethlm to dinner, they had somehow never Bet a date. So, when Bhe had proven to her .own, satisfaction that she could be a secre tary and a good one. too, and that sho, siooa nign in mr. a a estimation, - she told herself that the time had come to .show Jim a few things and open his eyes to the fact that she was of some Importance In the world. Arrived at this conclusion, she sweetly aug- Bested to Jim that they' have Mr. B to dinner that night. As there dldn.'t seem to be anything else in particular going on Jim beamed and kissed her and went hla way, all unsuspecting of tho deep plot laid for him. Mr. B accepted, of course, and 'front the moment of his arrival It vtub noticed by those present, gazed Intently at Mrs. Jlnt aa often as good manners would allow. Finally, with a puzzled yet determined alr.ho said: "Haven't I met you somewhere some time, beforu, Mrs. C?" Thero waa a little pause. In which everyone seemed to be waiting for.her reply. She broke the pause with the-btartllng announcement, "Every day for two months, Mr B ," and then laughed Joyously at the. incredulity and astonishment written on every face. Kven Mr. B was amazed, for this brilliant, beautifully gowned society woman waa certainly a different person from the quiet, plainly dressed young lady who wrote his letters dally for him. Then, not daring to look at Jim, she told1 them" briefly tho Btory of her busi ness career. To them ,lt waa ''Just for fun. and to see If I could do It" There were may exclamations as to her. "pluck" and "courage" and "clev erness," and then the subject changed. It! seemed to Eleanor that they would never go, but finally, ono by one,. they left, and aa she came back slowly from the' door where to hla "great regretJahe had. given her resignation toMr. B , now; that the secret was out, of course, she began to wonder what Jim thought and what he wouldisay, he look ed so stern as he stood there" by the window. But beforoVshe had 'time to be afraid she ran straight to him with the words. "Oh, Jim I" In a second his arrns were around her, and she waa tell- , "is nim ner punui lime story, and of hor "he had tried to showi him that nhei wasn't a "baby doll." "And I'm not . one now, am I, Jim, dear?" she Inquired I anxiously, raising her head from his Hhoalder, but, hla arms tightened about r hei MurJngly. And So They Were Married Episode Two (Each Other's Friends) By UAZEL DEYO DATCUELOR Copurloht. isit, by ruWo Ledotr Co. CIIAPTEn I F T HAS been said and truly, too, that God gives us our relatives, but thank God wo can choose our own friends. The question la do we chooso our own friends, or are some of tl.em born, some made, nnd soma thrust upon us? Dur ing our younger days we rather accept friends than choose them; but friends become a real problem when two young people from different families, and with d ffcretft Ideas, fo st friends upon eacn other, because that is tho ultlmato result of married life. It la needless to say. that no matter what reasons two young people havo for marrying; friends, unless tne two aro careful and much moro sensible than most vounc people generally are, aro bound to como between a couple In many respects. In tho case of Ituth and Scott Raymond, thla was doubly true; for excepting In rare Instances neither liked tho same kind of people. The first real nrgument that they had about friends took place ono evening when Scott came home from business moro than ordinarily worn out and crOBS. Ruth met him at the door with a nurnea rejoinder that his dinner was waiting and would ho hurry so that sho could clear things away and get ready for tho evening. "What areVe going to do?" Ituth looked at him reproachfully. "Dear, you don't mean to say that you really don't know?" He shook his head. "Why we're going to have Isabel Car ter and her husband hero for the eve ning." Well why do I have to hurry through my dinner and why all this unusual fusa about everything?" "Why, because they're so Important. They live on West End avenue, you know. In the most expensive apartment house anywhere there. Isabel has tho loveliest thlnga of any one 1 . Know ; 1 consider It an honor that they should caro to como here at all." Scott opened his eyes wide, but Ruth did not see. She went on excitedly: '"Everything is In order so you'll try to be careful dressing, won't you? Don't fling things around any more than you have to. I have tho nicest things ready to eat and I do so want everything to go off well." Thero was no withstanding Ituth when she spoke that way, and Scott obediently promised to be careful, so he ato a nur rled dinner and, tired as l.e was, began to dress Immediately afterward. ''If we could ever get in with them, it would be perfectly wonderful," vouch safed Ruth as sho camo In from tho kitchen and slipped Into a negligee pre paratory to fixing her hair. "Get In with them, v!hat do you mean?" "Just what I say. It would mean everything for you in business to be associated In a friendly way with Bill Carter." Scott flushed sensitively. He hated things of that kind, he loathed playing politics with one's friends, nnd Ruth was continually doing things she thought sho ought to do and too frequently doing the things sho really wanted to do. It made him furious with her. After their experience with general intolerance, both of them had mado a real effort to try to proceed on a fifty-fifty basis. Ruth had tried genuinely hard to see Scott's viewpoint and to understand that there might be things ho would want to do with his llfo that she might not think at all jjnterestlng. The, thing to do about It waa for her to either sacrifice herself to the extent of doing aa he wished or not to find fault If he went ahead and did It alone. Ruth had also tried to curb her quick tongue and to understand Scott's general untidiness and laxness about the house, and Scott had tried genuinely hard to do aa Ruth wanted In little things. Tho subject of friends, however had never been brought up betweon them to any extent. Friends nnd relatives and their adjust ment aro never given their proper Im portance In a domestlo regime. "Don't you think so?" she queried again. "No, I don't" Scott said bluntly. "0, Scott, you ought to, you "want to get along, don't you?" Scqtt loathed any reference to hla get ting olong financially; It mado ' hfm squirm. Like most men he considered his business affairs peculiarly his own. 'That Bounds like your mother, he remarked. Instantly Ruth was on the defensive.

"Bid you think that out yourself, or Is your mother responsible for that too?" Scotts words were bitter, but Ruth had provoked him beyond endurance nnd ho hardly knew what ho was Baying. lou'ro not in a position to resent anyone's advice In that respect," Ruth said, turning from her dressing table to meet his eyes. "Sometimes I cant understand you nt all, Scott Raymond. You simply seem to have no itmbltlon, and thoso friends of yours foster that attitude In jou." "And you women aro all the same aren't you?
