nrf So They
Were Married
By UAZEL DFA'O RATCIIELOR
Copyright. 111, ov Putlla Ledger Co.
RUTH decided wisely to pretend en
tire disinterest In the matter. She
tola Scott Innocently enough that she
hd hesitated about ipeaklng plainly he
foro her mother.
"Mother would have Warned you," she,
splalned. "Sho disapproved ot niy bo
Inc t nil If you wilt remember."
Which was quite true.
Scott wondered If nuth teally caied
o little about the thine or It she were
ohanfrlnir. He. Warned himself bitterly
for the part ho had played In tho mat-
ter. Somehow ha felt estranged fiom j
Ruth. Sho wan ncjt the klnu cr a woman
lo play the enmo of lntrlsuc. Ruth was
no femato vamplra or nnv thine; of that
kind. Sho was n healthy, normal Bill:
she was a product of well-to-do parents,
carefully nurtured, carefully brought up
and with n. mld-Vlctorlan mother as mi
example Therefore, too quick an ab
sorption t.f present-day feminism would,
ba quite likely to leae Ituth dlalllu
sloned and silently calloui. Scott had
been too young- to realize this at first.
Take any girl from an aerage home,
a girl who has never had to work. Marry
har In tho conventional way to a man
with different Ideas about wemen, a man
who through contact with women In a
comradely fashion In the shell-torn vil
lages of France, has formed a different
Ideal of friendship, and who without
much explanation or preamble ha. tried
Iheso Ideals on his wife by acceptiriB neror(.anza1,01! aro sl)l KolB 0 with '
pretty much as another man. ''' '""cc their work. 5oii know, with the army of
worn., had had no .lm."to be feminine
....., .iihair
save in rneir Keener iericiiiu'i
ability to bo tender. I
And hero was Ituth, Just such a girl,
plunged Into a totally different tlto from
the ono phe had been living, Hero she
was glxen credit for qualities sho did
not possess. Hero sho was struggling to
meet Scott's Ideals, making mistakes,
nuarrellng because she tried f-o desper
ately lo save her pride, nnd she was
silll unconvinced underneath. She did
not want to be treated like a comrade.
Sho did not want always to be logical
and reasonable; she wanted to be worn
ini.lv not essentially womanly: she
wanted to be petted and spoiled and
made a lot of, and she wanted all these
attentions to como from Scott. Most r.f
all sho wanted Scott all to herself, and
Inasmuch as she felt that he could not
see things her waj. sho was struggling
hard to adopt his ways, nnd was not en
Joying It at nil. Furthermore, there arc
some women who cannot have men
friends aside from their husbands. With
Ruth It was Impossible to be Platonic,
to be merely friendly. Her lovo for Scott
had deepened her entire nature, but It
had left her moro defenseless toward
other men than sho .had ever been before
In her lite. There was an Irresistible ap
peal about her that was moro than
friendly. In tho ordinary relationships
of life, friendships shared with Sco't for
Instance, this would net be so noticeable,
but a friendship, like the one Bhe had
with Nick Carson, had a personal qual
ity that was dangerous.
. It was Ruth herself who urged Scott
to go out the week following tho one In
wldch ao much had happened. They had
grown to tacitly agreo on one evening
during the week when Scott could feel
freo to go where he liked. Ruth never
played a part on those evenings. She
never wanted u free evening, us Scott
did. She never wanted to bo entirely i
free to do as sho liked, but sho felt that
she had to pretend that ehe did In order
to save her pride. What a pitiful little
'farce It was !
The conversation began casually. Ruth
aid at dinner pleasantly enough. "Have
you some nice plans for tonight?"
"So. Supposo vou and I go to a show.
We haven't been since I'vo been up."
" couldn't tonight, Scott. I have an
engagement."
This had been thought up on the spur
of the moment. SK weeks back it would
have been Impossible for Ruth to be so
casually untruthful.
"When did ou make It?" Scott asked
Impulsively.
"Let me see." Ruth pretended that
ah'e was trying to remember bad;, and
nhe did It well. "Oh, I don't know Just
when, several days back." She made no
effort to tell him frankly what It was
nnd she hoped he would not ask. Sho
hated to tell a direct Ho; the other was
not so bad.
But Scott did not aRk. Ho thought a
great deal Instead, nnd suspected things
that ho blamed himself for afterward.
Where was tho boasted trust and faith
that ho had alwajs had? What was
happening to his relationship to Ruth.
Was It possible that he was descending
to no low a thing as Jealousy and dis
trust? If Ruth could have seen Scott later
that evening wandering disconsolately
around the street sho would have been
well repaid for that very first night
when she herself had not known what
to do vvlth herself; that first night after
her marriage when Scott had left her
alono and she had realized for the first
tlmo how completely a married woman
who desperately loves her own husband
cuts herself off deliberately and entirely
v....- v .......". . I
frdni all ties tnat nem ner to peopio do
fore marriage. Everj married woman
knows this. After sho has been married
a. day or a week, she Is looked upon dif
ferently b" all her friends and relatives.
Sho Isn. married woman and Bhe cannot
go back to her glrlhopd.
Nothing appealed to Scott as a possi
ble amusement. He did not want to run
In on hlB friends, ho thought of going to
u. show, but what Is moro desolate than
a shpw alone, and lie wasn't In the mood
to asic any ono 10 ho vm. ....... j

reflections on life in icnernl.)
