And So They
Were Married

START THIS STORY TODAY
UNOLH DAVID and Aunt WMIfrcd
treated both Ruth nnd .Scott ns
children. Kverythlne that cither of
them suggested was .sure to be passed
over in some way. Ruth did not mind
so much for herself, but she resented
It hotly for Scott. She felt that neither
of her relatives thought that Scott's
opinion about anything amounted to
much.
The night after their nrrival Ruth
overheard them talking togcthcir in the
living room. At first sho would have
paid no nttcntion to anything that was
said, then she heard her own name men
tioned, nnd with scarlet checks she de
liberately listened. -
"Ruth is like her mother, no busi
ness head nt nil," Aunt Winifred re
marked. She was sitting near the lamp
knitting on some huge white needle
xwlth soft blue wool.
"And c married a man wlth 'no
more sense in that direction than she
has herself. He'll never amount to
anything, nothing but a fifty dollar
clerk."
"David, do you mean to say that is
all he gets."
"It certainly is." '
A wave of fury rose' in Ruth's heart.
How dare they discuss her that way?
How dare they come into her own
mother's home, and interfere and med
dle? It was unbearable. Her first
thought was to confront them with
what they had said, to embaross them
both by giving them to understand that
she had heard everything. Rut on
second thought she decided that that
would do no good. Her aunt nnd
uncle would think she waj a silly child.
And so she crept into her own old
room nnd sat down on the bed. Scott
found her thc,re a little later and when,
he nsked her why she was sitting there
in the dark sho replied shortly. Man
like lie wondered what htd happened
to make her speak like that. He did
not know that unconsciously Ruth was
faking out on him what she had over
heard her' aunt nnd uncle tnlk about.
It was unjust but feminine. Ruth had
been forced to face a meager salary be
fore, she had gone without things she
wanted, but she had never had all her
props removed from under her. She
had always felt that at least her
mother belonged to the old set, the set
in which she herself had once lived, in
which she had first become engaged to
.Tack Bond, nnd had worn fur coats
and expensive lingerie without worrying
nbout the cost. Why had her mother
brought her up to have everything nnd
to work for nothing? It wns so hard
to bear the criticism of other people.
Ruth was waking up to the fact that
if Scott had money people would judge
him by it no mntter what else he lacked.
It was because he was poor and lacked
influence thnt her aunt nnd uncle treated
them this way.
Ruth felt helplesq to do anything.
Just before she and Scott left for
home thnt night Aunt Winifred called
them into the living room. The ncStt
day was the funeral.
"Of course Rohby will be here to
morrow," Aunt Winifred observed.
'"Oh, no." put in Ruth, "it's not
necessary.
"I think it is, what do you say,
David?"
Uncle David generally ngreed with
Aunt Winifred, so he immediately- ob
served, "Of course the child should be
here."
"But he's so young and he won't un
derstand, what good will it do?" Ruth
protested. Robby was an unusunlly
nervous child, and for the last two nights
he had wept and sobbed in his .sleep.
Ruth wanted him kept away from the
funeral. Sho thought he should be kept
awny; she had no idea her aunt and
uncle would oppose her.
Uncertain ns to what to sny, she stood
there before them. She was vaguely
furious that Scott did not help her out.
They had talked the matter over be
tween them and had decided that it was
best not to have Bobby present, only
the night before. Why didn't Scott
speak?
i'Aunt Winifred," she began, "Bobby
doesn't want to come, he doesn't under
stand at all; he's frightened."
"Frightened?" Aunjt Winifred's short
interjection was almost a snort. "He's
old enough to know better. That's
simply foolishness."
"But I know Bobby, I've known him
all my life; don't you sec that I must
know him better than you do." Ruth's
tone was imploring.
"See here Ruth," put in her Uncle
David, "if Bobby is going home with
us, he might just ns well learn our wajs
now. There s no need of bringing up a
child and spoiling him with notions.
Bobby can begin to be a man right now,
he'll have no whims humored when ho
lives with us. He must learn not to be
a mollycoddle."
"O," choked Ruth, "how can you
speak that way? Bobby isn't a molly
coddle, and he isn't going west. He can
stay with us, we'll take care of him."

Why You Are Paying
War Prices in Peace Times
The serious concern about the mounting costs of necessities was shown not long ago
when twenty-six Democratic members of the Massachusetts legislature cabled to President
Wilson that "The citizens of the United States want" you home to help reduce the high cost of
living which we consider far more important than the League of Nations."
A man's suit of clothes that cost $15.00 in 1914 costs $26.00 to-day; shoes that were $9.00
in 1914 cost $15.50 now; a woman's suit that cost $15.00 in 1914 is $24.00 to-day; every item in
both men's and women's wearing rtpparel has nearly doubled in price, while food, shelter,
fuel, heat, and light have soared to equally high levels. This condition prompts the Detroit
News to declare that "what the eating, sleeping, and dressing world wants to know is whether
the cost of necessities is justified?" The consumer finds it hard to understand, according to the
Buffalo Evening-News, "why, six months after the end of fighting, prices instead of taking a
fall are forever rising."
THE LITERARY DIGEST present this week in its leading article a comprehensive siirvcv of the elements
affecting present living costs; comparative tables showing the difference in prices of manv articles in 1914 and to-day,
the opinions of bankegs, merchants, and manufacturers as to the future outlook, and the observations of editorial writers
throughout the country on the situation. This article should be of practical value to every DIGEST reader.
Other striking features in this week's DIGEST are:

"The Digest" Paves the Way to Prosperity
It goes without saying that yoil want to succeed in life
or, if you are already successful, that you want to make
that success greater and more far-reaching. There is no
royal road to prosperity,' it is reached by all sorts of routes,
likely and unlikely, but there is a fecipe, which, coupled
with plenty of persistent application, is as apt to help you
to fortune as anything known to humankind. It may be
defined in one word "education." Now, aside from the
college variety, which few of us have had and the rest are
too busy to think of, there remains only that obtained
from intimate knowledge of' men and events. To such
knowledge there is no surer, saner guide than THE
LITERARY DIGEST, greatest of news-magazines, the
weekly upon which more than a million Americans de
pend for their information on the live issues of the day.
This ever-increasing army represents our best and highest
citizenship. Be wise and enlist in it to-day.
