STAB.T THIS STOItY TODAY
TO SAY that rfila used the same
tactics as Ruth was perfectly true.
She did nothing obvious. Sho had the
.attitude that whatever she did was per
fectly all right. She did not attempt
to "vamp" Scott, she was simply al
ways attractive to him, always Inter
ested In hearing him talk. She was
the thing that Scott did not possess
and she Interested him. There was
nothing wrong about it, nothing even
unfair to Ruth, unless she chose to look
"4 friendship between her husband and
iitiothcr woman as wrong.
When the Whltmores were at their
apartment or when Ruth and Scott
were over there and there was the
slightest altercation about anything
Illta invariably took Scott's part. Not
'-hat she came to his aid obviously but
ehe delicately and tactfully gave him
to understand that sne realized h'ow
impossible it was for a wife to really
understand her husband.
They were playing bridge one evening
over at the Whltmores when suddenly
Dan succested that thev switch to
poker and like a great many women
Ituth thought it a detestable game, in-'
xented only for card sharks and gam- J
uiers. sne nappencu to De me oniy
one of the four that had never played,
and the others were all eager to change.
"It's much more fun," Uita in
sisted, "and It won't take you any
time to learn. You don't have to pay
uch strict attention to your cards,
either. Bridge Is an awful strain."
"I hate to learn anything and play
at the same time," protested Kuth.
"Oh. come on," Scott said, laugh-
tn 'Tf'n a ennA pnme."
"I didn't know you played," Ruthi
turned on htm.
Dnn laughed at this. "Every man
plays."
"When did you ever learn to play,
Scott?" Ruth insisted.
"I can't remember now; what differ
ence does It make, anyway?"
"Ruth thinks poker players are out
side the pale," Rita said, mockingly.
Ruth seldom grew angry at Rita, but
she was angry now. She said nothing,
however, and allowed them to deal her
n hand. Every one who plays poker
Temembers his and her first game of
poker as stupid. There Is no particular
fascination about it. It seems like a
childish kind of n game, with no point
at all to it." Ruth did not understand
the fascination of betting nnd she con
sequently missed alt the fun as well as
lost every hand.
Finally she refused to play any longer.
"It's a stupid game," she exclaimed,
flinging down her cards, "and further
more, you people can play and I can't
and I don't think it's fair. I should
think you could see that," turning to
Scott. "I don't see why you had to
insist that we play this."
Scott hadn't suggested that they play
poker, but it was easier for Ruth to
blame Scott than It was for her to
fly into Rita or Dan. It was right
here that Rita did a skillful piece of
acting. She wanted to continue play
ing poker. She was winning and she
loved the give and take of the game,
but it was her chance to impress Scott
and she took it.
"All right," she said, in her rich low
toned voice, "let's play bridge. It
really isn't fair to Ruth."
Of course this resulted in Ruth s be
ing put in the wrong, and Rita'B
prompt giving In to her made her seem
magnanimous. Scott told Ruth this
when they got home that evening.
"I thought that Rita acted more than
nice about it," he finished.
"Why did I have to play it?" Ruth
flung back.
"You didn't have to."
"Why, Scott, you know I did."
"You might better have refused to
play than to have acted as you did."
Scott was so seldom critical of anything
that she did Ruth was amazed and
angry. She felt that if Rita had not
f. A a !. lifM with lipr xvlllltip-
ness to be unselfish, Scott would never
have stfoken this way. xnis was a cul
mination of many little things that Rita
had done, Just as slight, Just as impos
sible to really single out and find fault
with, but nevertheless Just as poignant
and, as Ruth felt, Just as Intentional.
There was a silence between them
that lasted all evening. Never since
that night long ago when tljey had been
In the country had Ruth fallen asleep
without kissing Scott goodnight. To
night she hoped that something might
happen between them to cause a break
In the 'clouds, but nothing did. 3cott
remained disconcertingly silent, aod
Ruth was finally forced to undrew and
slip into bed without a word. She felt
that she was in the right and she was
puzzled and could not understand
Scott's attitude toward a matter that
was. after all, not important. She lay
In bed with her face turned away from
the light and waited, hoping every
minute for Scott's softly spoken "Qoodi
night, girl," and his kiss, but she heard
him get ready for the night, open the
windows and finally snap off tho light
on the bed table without a word spoken.
When she heard him finally get into
bed, she knew that he did not Intend
to make up, and long after he had fallen
asleep she lay awake staring Into the
darkness and thinking.
In the next Installment, a letter from
Alice Barry.
Householder to Blame
for, Servant Troubles
To (n Editor at " Woman' Paetl
Dear' Madam I would like to say
that I do not approve of the eight-hour
day or the union. If there is system
and method in housework as well as any
other business, arranged by the wife or
housekeeper who Is a leader, then there
would be no necessity for unions, etc.
There should be a bond of sympathy
and a friendly feeling between employer
and employe. I contend that the so
called rich are not Interested enough in
their homes to prearrange the work.
They do not care so long as the girls
arc mem iu wutb uyuu mem. uonse
fluently they allow them to "run
things." 1 .
My help have their fully furnished
loom and bath to themselves, plenty to
at and all comforts. It, housewives
trould be more independent and not de
pend so much upon their help, things,
1 am, sure, would be better, I know
everything that transpires in my home
and gr ererr one credit for what she
fS dov If hope .there will be no such
