The' Woman's Exchange STAJtT THIS STOIIV TODAY ,TT IS one thing to lmnglno a thins and JL nulte another to reconnlze It as a self-evident fact. Kor Instance It was not so bad In Ruth's estimation to be sorry for herself, and to decide In her own mind that things were In a bad way, but to have her worst fears con firmed in the Tory evident slight of Elsie Carstalr's omitting Iluth from the list of guests Invited to the wed ding was entirely different. It was bad enough to have to try and appear nonchalant .Irtfore Natalie, but when she reached home Ruth had a good cry. That .aftenoon she was to meet Scott and they were to look at several apartments downtown. Mov ing downtown had seemed horrible to Huth ; now she did. not care. Just as soon as she could get away from these people who had liked her when she hnd money and position and were willing to slight her when she hnd only herbelf to offer, the better she would feel. Ruth, who had really nccr known anyone downtown but Betty, who lived In a cluttered' place and Helen Town send, wAo had just an ordinary small apartment, was really secretly pleased with the first apartment they looked at. There were only two rooms, but they were largo and had high ceilings. The woodwork was cream colored, nnd there was a convenient alcove where a small stove was stowed neatly away, and several good broad shelves. To be sure the bathroom was old fashioned. Ruth did love her white tiles, and the rather grimr floor did not appeal to her; but the place had plenty of light, nnd Scott said rather engerlv that he could change the place with some fresh paint. "That is, if you like it at all!" lie finished. "It isn't bad," Ruth said grudgingly. "Do you think you'd be happy here'" Happy, would she he happy nnv where? She felt about this place that it would be a good hiding plm-e whpre she could get away from tli old crowd, and that was all that mattered. They decided to move in in Hepteni ber, when the lease on their own apart ment was up, but the verv next dn.v after they had decided to tnke the looms the bell rang about 10 o'llod: in the morning and Ruth recognlrcd the two women who had looked over the npait ment that morning when Alice had been in bed In the living room. "Would you mind if we looked ovei the place again?" the gill asked depie catingl.v. "We haven't seen nm thing we have liked as well as tlili, noi ns reasonable." "Reasonable!" Ruth thought In her self furiously, it was reasonable to this commonplace creatine nnd vet it was too expensive for Stott to afford. Once more she showed the two over the place, the mother nnd daughter dis cussing the merits and iiuoiiieuiem es of the ,place in undeitones, Ruth ap pearing not to hear or nothe anything. "When are you moing jourself?" the girl asked finally. "When the lease is up." "Have you found anything yet?" Ruth stared In surprise, but she snw that the girl had some purpose in ask ing the questions, for she went on quickly. "You see, we'd like to move in ns soon as possible." Ruth considered a moment. After all, why not. They might as well move right away inasmuch as they could get people who were willing to take the lease over. - "I'll have to speak to Mr. Raymond about it." "When could you let us know?" "I'll telephone you tonight." Scott was only too glad to move out immediately. He had never liked the apartment anyway, and the prospect of the big old-fnshioned rooms down town filled him with the Idea that he and Ruth could make a really Indivi dual place out of it. Scott felt strange toward Ruth ; he could not make her out of late. He did not understand why she was utterly unresponsive, why their life together had changed so en tirely. Scott did not realize that change of any kind affects a woman more than It does a man ; a man accepts it as a matter of course, a woman resents and accepts it only when Bhe can't help herself. It was in this spirit and with this '"strangeness and aloofness between them ""that they moved into their new place, L1 cutting for Ruth the last cable that , bound them to the life and the friends she had loved. For Ruth intended to ' avoid all of the old people; she did not want to see any one.

Leary, 2222 North Six teenth street, has returned home after serving in France since December, 1017. He enlisted in the Quartermas- serve Corps May 15, 1017, was first assigned to duty abroad at Base Section No. 1, St. Nazalre. After the armistice was signed, Ser geant Leary became manager of a troupe known as "Major Murtln's To Prevent Stretching To the Editor o the Woman' Pant; Dear Madam Is there any way to prevent n trlcolettc dress from stretch ing? I have one of navy which lost all shape by stretching Hie fimt time I wore it. I may be able to fix it up, but am aftald it will do the same thing again. MRS. I. A. 8. It seems to be the one failing of trl colettc that it will stretch no matter what is done to it. Try making it over a illk lining and fasten it to the lining around the bottom of the skirt, nnd in nx many places on the skirt as you can do it without letting the stitches show. This will lesson the weight of the skirt and prevent the pulling which causes the stretihlng. When you take qff the dress fold it and put it in a drawer Instead oi hanging it up. The weight of the dress pulls It down nnd stretches it from the ehoulders if it is allowed to hang on a hnnget or hook. Call Up Historical 8oclety To the Editor of the Woman' Pane: Dear Madam Can you advise me whether there are anv parties, or party, In Philadelphia or elsewhere to whom I could apply for assistance In securing the genealogy of n family? I have been told there nro people who make u business of this and if so, would like to get in communication with them. W. S. B. If you call up or write to the His torical Society, Thirteenth nnd IiOCiist streets, jou will be able to find some one or the address of some one who does this kind of research and will help you in securing the genealogy of n family. To Prevent Mustlness To the Fdttor of the Woman't Faaf Dear Madam Do you know of any thing that will overcome the musty dampness of n house that is closed for the summer not merelv the cellar the roomR of the first floor as well. It seems to me I rend some time ago about'limc to be used for this purpose in cellars, but nave forgotten whether it should be slaked or unslaked lime, if unslaked, could this bo used on the first floor? Would it not set fire to anrthine It Comts in contact with in the process of air slacking unless nlaced on an iron container? Anything you can suggest will be greatly appreciated. MRS. S. T have never heard of anything spe cially recommended to prevent that musty odor, but no doubt unslacked lime or quicklime would do Just as well In the house ns in the cellar. I never heard of lime setting fire to anything but perhaps it would be safer to rest the box on a zinc or tin tray. Wedding Invitations To the Editor of the Woman't Pdof Dear Madam Circumstnnccs make it seem advisable for ub to be married at the home of my fiance's parents. Should the written invitations to the wedding, which will bo wholly Informal, be signed by his parents, bv his mother, or bj my (widowed) mother?
