STORE CLOSED ALL DAY TODAY WANAMAKER'S DOWN STAIRS STORE WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Fair & t hJ 8TABT THIS STOUT TODAY A NGRY tears cams to Ruth's ejes and threatened to overwhelm her before she could rush away from the table. Scott stared after her In amaze ment as she fled to her room, and Alice who sat opposite him made no comment. There was a silence, then Scott said uncomfortably, "Ruth knew I was not going to meet the terms." Alice looked up. "Ruth Is upset lately, can't you see that? She's gone through a great deal." Scott looked his amazement at Alice's sudden championing of Ruth. 'I know that," he returned. He had no idea at all about Alice's unhapplness, for the sympathy and kindness that she had shown. What lie did know that quite suddenly lie was nn'gry pvltn Alice. This was a matter between himself and Ruth alone. Quite suddenly too, he bo gun to resent the fact that Alice had settled herself on them for so long. Manlike he had refrained from putting his resentment into actual thought and words before, even when Alice had treated Ruth with scant courtesy. Now because Alico had seen fit to side with Ruth, he was angry at everything at once. He seemed to notice for the first time that Alice was not herself. "What's the matter with you lately anyway?" he asked roughly for Scott. "You are always mooning around the house, not saying a word. Alice did not reply and the meal was finished in silence. Ruth, in her bedroom, flung straight across the bed, was crying into the counterpane. Scott no longer loved her; , if he did he would have consulted her about tlreir. plans for the fall. She wished she had never married; perhaps she was the kind of a woman who Teally should never have married. Life seemed such a tangle and nothing ever came out right for nijy one. Her thoughts ran on that way, sometimes chaotic, sometime!) strangely logical. They flew to Alice and Bert. What was the use of that? Alice had made a mis take in her handling of Hert and Rert had finally turned to another woman for understanding and amusement. All life was like that ; no doubt Scott would soon tire of her that way ; perhaps he had already. There was Natalie Bond. How she had suffered in order to win Jack's love, and now that she had it, could she be sure that she would keep it for ever? Of course not. Yet Natalie was willing to live in the present, to take what the gods gave her and not to , worry about the future. There was Isabel Carter, hotlng nnd despising her husband, but living with him because he had money. Of all the people she knew, was there' any one reallyrJiappy? Her thoughts flew to Helen Townsend, nnd she remembered a little church lighted by n flickering gas light, four young faces, Helen's nnd Jim Townsend's, her own and Jack Bond's, absorbed In the solemnity of the mar riage service, and then suddenly the white flame that leaped up in Helen's eyes when she looked nt Jim. Jim was lying in Flanders fields now, but that nad been true lpve. Her own ideals swept over her, too, as she sobbed quietly on the bed. She had believed when she married Scott that romance would last forever. But it nadn t, nnd the worst of it was she could not tell how much worse t. I W0UIJ be ns tImc wcnt on- M,I8t she be one of those women always making up lies to tell the world, hid ing her misery with her pride, unloved and unhappy? All of which goes to prove that Ruth was very low indeed, Ind that her ideas were foolishly mor Md and that she was allowing herself to become very misarable without much cause for It. Inasmuch ns Scott wni paying the bills it was quite natural for him to think that he had the right ,to make the decision concerning the ,rent. Men nre apt iu uu mat very thing after they have been married a while. Partnership nnd so forth, which seems at first so Ideal, merges finally imu iuo uiuiuuo u man lanes wnen, for Instance, he pays for his own birthday presents because they are charged at the department stores. Be cause Scott had failed to talk over mat ters with' Ruth meant nothing at all beyond the fact that he knew he ould not afford the present raise In rental and that he wished to settle things without talking over matters, ne felt ashamed that he hndn't the money and could not see his way to getting the money to give Ruth what she wanted. Her attitude the other night hnd hurt him terribly, more than it would have If ho had not recognized his own short btomlngs. He know that he wasn't n "money maker, nnd that business could .
