And So They Were Married

CUAFTUIl IX
Still tiot
ved. Ruth had taken oft her drcsa
and had slipped Into Kimono mn
aho had first como home. At 10:30 plie
had undressed entirely ftind had pllpped
Into bed. Sho turned on the llRht by
the bed and tried to read, but Hho wns
too nervous. She could do nothing but
think. By this Mine ho had worked her
self up into a perfect lever of unrest
and suspicion, and yet Bhc hardly know
whether to tell Scott how she felt or to
proceed In calm dignity treating lilm
with an aloofness that would show her
hurt In its true light.
At a quarter of 12, she heard his
key In tho lock and u moment later ho
had come Into tho room and had sat
down on her bed. Sho had a moment
to think how dear ho was with that
thin keen face and those eyes that saw
dreams. Then he stooped to klBS her.
Almost cold were tho lips beneath his
own, but ho said nothing, only raised his
head and said, "I called jou twice but
you weren't home."
"So tho girl said."
"Did you have a good evening?"
.She raised her eyes at this. "Did you
expect mo 'to hae a good evening?"
Ho reddened Ht her tone.
You know I had nothing planned."
"Dut you could have planned some
thing. I thought, of course, that you had
plenty of friends that jou could plan on
seeing."
"You don't Kcem lo realize, Scott, that
tor a woman, It Isnt as easy to do thoso
things. For all you cared I might have
stayed home ulone all the evening, all
theso hours, for you might have
known that I wouldn't go to see an) one
I know. What would they think If I
dld7 They would suspect In a minute
that there was homethlng wrong, and
that ou couldn't care very much about
me It you were u tiling to allow mo to
run around alone at night without you."
"If people you know do thoso things,
I'd never count them among my friends."
"Well, they're qulto as good as the
people you seem so taken with. 1 can
tell you that."
"Please let's not get talking of that
Adventures With a Christmas Purse
WHY NOT
1, Individual Jelly glutton for an Invalid
or u fantldlouH hostess?
2. Those fancy lliturrn on which lingerie
ribbon Is wound?
8. One of these lovely necklaces with
round corul locket effect?
4. A uninll curved sparkling pin for the
brim of a umart little liat?
10T any good Xmas suggestions?"
vJ I nuked succinctly of tho very
pleasant attendant who never falls mo.
"How about Individual glasses of jelly?"
ho Inquired hopefully. For a minute I
did not flee their possibilities. Then
they began to come to me. For the In
valid, for tho hostess who ever seeks
something different and tempting, for tho
family of two why, these dainty glasses
of Jelly, little tapering glasses, standing
hardly more than two Inches and a half
high and packed with delicious port or
sherry wine flavored Jelly clear 1
would say as a still pool, but for fear
of being accused of waxing poetic why,
they have "inflnlto gift possibilities.
"They're good sellers nroupd Christmas,"
said tho nice joung man, "and they cost
but $1.25 per dozen,"
Then there nre whimsical spools hold
ing llngerlo ribbon. They nre probably
six Inches In height, nround probably five
Inches of which ribbon Is wound And
the other Inch Is a fascinating little hean,
hand-palpted, with black hair and
rouglsh red cheeks. Here Is another one
of tho fussy little extras a girl would
love as n gift, but would feel that she
could not afford to buy for herself. I'ricu,
seventy-flve cents.
Somewhat similar to the popular Vic
tory lockets, but much nearer tho reach
of the slender purse, are the chains with
their dainty ornaments widen I dis
covered today. The chains aro three
quarter length, of coral, and seemingly
made from the same material as the Vic
tory lockets. First come two round links,
then a flat oblong, then two more links
all in delicate coral color, of course, and
so on down tho chain to the round coral
locket effect, on tho front of wlilch a
Woman's head stands out In bold relief
In cameo effect, and In tho back of which
is a little round mirror. And these
lovely necklaces are but $1.
Or, have you seen the rouglsh little
pins which peep at you from the brim or
crown of milady's hat llttlo curved pin
of sitter, and lacy design In sparkling
brilliants? The one I liked best wns of
green gold flnlsh a curved bar, with a
single little sapphire embedded In tho
center. And the price was but seventy
five cents.
again," Scott said, getting up heavily
from tho bed. ltuth turned her face
away from him, although she was en
tirely conscious of everything he lld.
Hho heard him hang his coat over the
bark of the chair; she knew tho familiar
little sound of It, she knew that he
was getting Into his bathrobe, and then
she heard him go out Into tho living
room. Tho fact tbnt ho refused to argue
with her .made her angrier than ever,
particularly now that Bho realized she
would not be uble to ask him nnv thing
about the evening, and what he had
done. There was moro than that, too,
In hr conscloutness : she felt somehow
that Scott felt a lack of responsiveness
in her, a lack In understanding, and
sho hardly knew what to do to tell him
how she felt and to ask him to talk It
over,
Now that ho was home things seemed
somehow different. She wished, oh, how
sho wished, that she had been broader
about It. It had been her chance to
meet him half way, to be the comrade
sho had alwavs longed to be to the
man sho loved, to give him the tiualltv
that sho knew most of her own friends
never gavo their husbands, understand
ing, Suddenly she threw the covers down
and leaped out of bed. Sho had a sud
den desire to feel his arms about her, a
sudden fear that he was so disappointed
that perhaps ho would never again lovo
her as he had.
Throwing her kimono about her shoul
ders, sho rushed out to tbe living room.
' I can't stand being away from you this
way, sue must out. "Can't vse talk' It
over, Scott; can't wo adjust matters?"
Scott opened hla arms and she nestled
In them In n corner of the dnvenport.
Almost Immediately she began to cry
In a very excess of emotion. The relief
of being close to him again spiritually
as well as physically was so great.
"Oh. 1 do want to understand," she
said between Bobs. "1 do, but It's so
hard to be big about a thing when other
people don't understand."
"I.lko whom?"
"All my friends, and mother, of
course."
"You don't mean that they don't ap
prove of a man having nnv time to him
self?" Scott was f lankly Incredulous
"Hardly ally man has prlv lieges like
that, not It he loves his wife. And don't
you see that they would all think me
different It they know about the way ou
think? They would say 1 pretended tu
bo satisfied."
"I never thought that marriage for me
would mean thu submerging of my own
peisouallty. 1 thought vse could go on
living our own lives and out nf our life
together would come a natural welding
together that would mean much more
than n few words mumbled lit the altar.
You know as well as 1 that no man who
submits to the tyranny of marrlnge to
the extent of never getting away from
married atmosphere Is happy."
They were big problems for these two
as they were for many others, and ltuth
wns silent for a few moments, thinking
"lint, thank fortune, all people don't
think like these friends of yours," said
Scott suddenly. "Why only tonight we
were discussing marriage, conventional
mamapn I mean, nnd I swoie that mine
was different."
"Where wore you?" asked ltuth
quietly
"Down nl Hell j 's studio," announced
Scott innocently.
