And So They Were Married
Dy HAZEL DEYO DATCIIELOR
Coprrltht, 1919. by Public, Vtittt Co.
STAItT THIS STORY TODAY
SCOTT found her there nt her mother's
bedside sobbing her heart out la the
bedclothes. He lifted her to her feet
tenderly and led her out of the.room.
"Dearest, you mustn't give ay like
that."
"I might have been a better daugh
ter," Ruth sobbed. "I might have tried
to understand mother Instead of always
being Impatient with her vleivs."
Scott held Ruth close and wondered
a little bit about life. In a way Ruth
was like Bobby, fearful of change nnd
what It might bring. It was not grief
so much for her mother's death as It
was sorrow for her own conscience that
her ..treatment of her mother had not
always been considerate. And yet taxed
with so selfish a thing Ruth would have
denied it Indignantly.
Ruth always remembered the next
day as a -fort of deadly nightmare, to
be passed over ns quickly as possible.
They had telegraphed for her mother's
brother, Ruth's Uncle David and a tele
gram came early the next morning that
ho and Aunt Winifred would be there as
soon as possible. They arrived the fol-'
lowing evening and proceeded to take
charge of everything. In a way Ruth
was glad, in another she resented it
terribly. Ruth hardly remembered her
Uncle David only that lie was her
mother's brother and very wealthy. She
hadn't remembered Aunt Winifred at
all, but she found her now a very
well dressed, rather snobbish woman
with a desire to take matters into her
own hand and to patronize Ruth and
Scott. Martha, who resented all in
trusion, began to hate Aunt Winifred
on the instant. Ruth had Bent Bobby
oVer to her own apartment, where Alice
had promised to look after him. so that
he was out of the way when the west
erners arrived.
Ruth was utterly tired out with the
strain of seeing to things. She was so
tired that her grief was utterly blurred.
Save for that once she had not given
way nt all. It was not as though Mrs.
Rowland had been a companion to Ruth,
some one whose influence she would
miss out of her life. It was more as
though a precious child whose faults
we condone because they cannot be
helped, had been taken away.
There was a certain bluntness about
Aunt Winifred that was vcrv trying.
8he had hardly been there an hour be
fore She asked about Bobby.
"We've sent him over to our apart
ment." Ruth explained.
"What arc you going to do about
Bobby. Ruth?" asked Aunt Winifred.
, "I don't know, can't we wait till
after it's over to talk about it?" she
pleaded.
"Nonsense," Aunt Winifred retorted
briskly. "You want to face things as
they are, don't try to avoid the truth.
Your Uncle David and I can take Bobby
back with us. We planned it on the
train coming east."
Ruth sprang up. "O, no," she pro
tested. "Scott and I don't want Bobby
to go away."
"Who'sxto take care of him here?"
"Martha," Ruth wavered unprac
tically. "Txiok here. Ruth, did vou know that
your mother had not left any money?
She has been living on her capital for
a long time. Your uncle advised her
against it. he advised her manv times
to move into n smaller place, but she
was too proud to let an one know and
she refused to change. So jou see there
isn't any monej to take care of Bobby.
The things will hae to be sold and
Bobbv enn go back with us."
Ruth was silent. The enormity of it
all was sweeping over her. She had
that same feeling that Rhe had had
when she was first married, the feel
ing that she was being swept nway from
her childhood's moorings. She looked
about the room wonderingly. Iery
thing seemed so familiar and dear.
She had known this apartment for a
great many years. It had been as
stable as her mother and Bobby and
.good old Martha. She had come here
from college on her vacations, her little
room was still kept for her, and now
everything was to be changed. Now
her mother was dead, her mother who
hda almost never agreed with her, but
whom she had loved dearly. Bobby,
naughty Bobby, was to be taken awav
to forget all about her no doubt, and
Martha who had been with them for so
many years, was to go, where?
And then she remembered Scott.
Once, when she was being married to
Scott, she had wanted to run away,
not that she did not love him, but
because he represented change. Now
I -a he was dearer to her than any one else,
he stood between her and the biggest
change of all. While she had him she
rould still be contented. Not Aunt
Winifred or any alien person in the
world could take him away from her.
She gave a little gasp as a person would
who had come up out of water Into the
rlean fresh air Aunt Winifred was
speaking.
"You know your mother was .very
Impractical, my dear."
"We can't all be .business people,
Aunt Winifred. Did mother leave any
debts?"
"No, 1 don't think , there's a
little money In the bank that will cover
everything, your uncle knows just how
much." Aunt Winifred was deter
mined to be practical.

The Question Corner
Today's Inquiries
1. When cord Is too heavy for the
ornamental cording on a light silk
dress what can be used instead?
2. What is the proper way to cover
cord?
3. To what very dainty use can the
embroidered fronts of waists,
otherwise worn out, be put?
4. When the wooden floor in the
bath room makes it a drab look
ing place what can bo done
with it?
!i. In severe cases of sunburn what
will give relief?
6 What will help to prevent enamel
ware from chipping?
Yesterday's Answers
1. The hostess and guest of honor
nt a tea wear evening dresses
and no hats.
2. The little special card announc
ing the birth of a baby calls for
a note of congratulation from the
recipient; or if the mother is an
intimate friend, a small gift.
3. An ordinary window shade can be
"dre'sed up" with a conen
tinnal stencilled design and this
does much to add distinction to
a dark and commonplace room.
4. A-dress form or "Judy" can be
made a larger size by building
it 'up with regular padding such
as tailors use in coats.
ii. flubbing white buckskin shoes
with fine sandpaper before the
cleaning powder is applied makes
them look new.
0. A swab of whiting with a little
sweet oil on it will remove spots
from pewter. The article should
then be washed in weak soap
suds and rinsed in boiling water.
Dry it and use hot sand nnd a
brush to polish.
Wants a Vacation
To the Editor o the Woman's rage
Dear Madam Canst thou help a poor
?20-ri-weck woman to decide how
cheaply, yd wholesomely, she can spend
ncr vacation If the following is an ac
count of the money Mie spends weekly?
First, It helps support a family; sec
ond, clothes, good clothes must be
bought; third, cnifnre and pin money!
ana uoesn t have any left on pa.day.
i would like to go to the mountains
or any quiet place away from the cit
and this wearj atmosphere. Tennis,
swimming, boating and dancing are
my ideal sports. I know they cost loads
of money ou a vacation, but couldn't I
manage some waj to earn a few extra
dollars overtime to do this? I think
I will recehe two precious weeks!
I hate two of the lnvt Victory Bonds
to pa, and they do pull n "hole" In
my pocket! I do this cheerfully; I am
glad to do it! But jet that? frail idea,
almost horrid one confronts me to
spend my vacation in Philadelphia !
Can you help me? I am almost hope
lesslj In despair, but I am still
HOPING FOR A GOOD VACATION !
Don't ever give up hope. Here Is
one place thot you can go and get swim
ming and boating. I am not sure about
the tennis and dancing, but nt least It is
quiet place, beautiful country and
awny from the city. It Is up along the
Perklomen creek. There are farmhouses
up there where boarders arc taken for a
comparatively low charge something
like ?fl or S10 a week. I ennnot tell
you definitely about any boarding
houses, but if you take a Sundaj to go
up there and look around nnd inquire
you can find a place I am sure. There
arc hotels, but the boarding houses are
cheaper. Take the trolley from Sixty
ninth street to Norristown, then on to
Collegevllle, and from there you will
hnc to take n jitney to go to any other
town. The trolley runs right along the
Perklomen. and If jou see at place that
appeals to jou you can get off at the
next stop and see If you can find a
place to staj. Graders Ford is one of
the prettj places nnd Analomlnk Is
another. The fare is about ninety cents
one way to Collegevllle, and It takes
about two hours to getherc, but It will
be worth the trip If joTi can get a place
to go for jour acatlon, and you will
have a beautiful ride.
You might be able to make some extra
money bj doing some kind of work at
night. Perhaps jou would help out at
the soda counter of a drug store or .erv
ing Ice cream during the rush hours early
In the evening. If j oil ennnot tiud anj
place that will paj you for doing this,
put a little adiertisement in the paper
asking for employment In the evening.
Iodine 'Stain on Cloth
To the rrffMr of thr Woman's Pao'
Dear Madam- In tnklng the iodine
bottle out of the medicine chest, I Acci
dentally spilled It on my cloth dress.
Will you please tell me how to remove
the yellow stain that It made?
READER.
Dissolve about a teaspoonful of hypo-
sulphide crystals In a quart of water, i
and apply It to the stain. This will
successfully remove It.
