(,,! rrvpXff J EVENING' PUBLIC LEDGEKr-PHlUADELPHIA; MONDAY, 'AUGUST 25, 1019 tt3, And So They Were Married By HAZEL DEYO UATCIIELOR Cervrlaht, 1919, bv PubHo Lcdecr Co. STAIIT THIS STOUY TODAY THE next thing that llutli hcord about Jano was even moro like a story than ever. Helen ran over to Ruth's apartment one, evening coming in just as Ruth and Scott were finishing dinner. Helen looked white and tired and very hot, nnd Ruth jumped up to mako her comfortable In n big chair In the window with a tall glass of iced tea Yicforo her and n small electric fan lurncd on full tilt. "Sure you won't have anything to at?" Ituth queried. Helen shook her head and regarded Jluth thoughtfully as she went back to ihe table. After a moment she spoke. "Do you know that you people more (Jkan an other married couple I know "Of are strangely satisfying?" Huth looked at Scott nnd laughed and flushed. The memory of the visit at the Moorcs was still with Ruth. She could feel still all the old unrest that lie had felt then, the smouldering injus tice of Scott's ready Indifference, tho feiolishness that might so well hnve been tragic if they had riot loved each other to well. If Helen knew all of that she might think differently about every thing. Perhaps Helen understood Ruth's look better than Ruth imagined she did, for she said quickly. "Oh, I don't mean that you are per fect, and that you don't have plenty of adjustments and so forth, I simply mean that you have worked out a scheme of living for yourselves and nro happier on the whole than any one else I know." Ruth met Scott's eyes ncross the table. It was true. In spitp of a great deal that had happened, they were happy. Impulsively she reached a hand across and it was grasped nnd held tightly in Scott's own. There was a moment's silence, finally interrupted by Helen. "But that wasn't all 'I wanted to say tonight," she said with n meaning look at the hand". "I came over to tell you something that I am sure will interest you Ruth, something about Jane Knowlcs." "Talk to me while I clear the things away, will you?" Ruth said jumping to her feet. "It won't take n second, nnd I just leave them for Ellen. No, you're not going to help," ns Helen struggled to her feet, "you've had a hard day at the i office and so hns Scott. Rut tell me quickly about Jane, you know how Interested I am." "Well, Jane's husband Is dead!" "What!" "Yes, Jane has had an official notice from Washington. You see she hasn't heard from him in ages, but then that wasn't at nil strange. She had no idea where he was or whether he had been injured or not, nnd in her own sweet way which you will understand better the longer you know Jane, she just drifted, not caring much, not thinking about the future, just living from day to day." "And he's dead?" asked Scott inter estedly. "Yes, killed at Arras. His father has known for some time, but he never approved of Jnne so he simply did not tell her." "And she's free," said Ruth softly, "free to start all over again, to make something of her life. Isn't it splen did?" "If Jane only abides by her first mis take and learns her lesson from it," said Helen slowly. "Do you know," looking at Scott, "Ruth is n year older than I am, and jet she seems much younger to me. She has the most visionary idea of life. Her head is up in, the clouds most of tho time." "And majbe it isn't hard living up to her ideals," said Scott, grinning across at Ruth's face, which was a study at that moment. "For instance," Helen interrupted, "I'll wager this minute thnt Ruth is thinking me hard unci entirely too criti cal of Jane. Ruth sees only the ro mantic part of her nature and none of the defects in it." "Why, what do you mean?" "I mean that Jane has a new chance to begin. She has a position that she has been trying to get for a long time, with a good chance for improvement. She is free of her husband. If she wants to, she can make anything at all of her life. Jane is charming, she is Irresponsible, she is not deep, but Bhe has a cheery optimism that is a splen did thing. Once I thought her suffer- I . lng null ui-veiujieu uci, .iv mhvm i ' hasn't. Ruth simply sees the charm in Jnne, and does not look for deeper qual ities. Ruth doesn't see the dangers . ahead for Jane and little Joy." "Of course, she's untidy and care less," Ruth admitted; "but those are alight faults." "Not If they're ingrained thoroughly into her nature. What I wanted to tell you, Ruth, was this. You can be a great help to Jane if you want to. She admires you, and Jane is naturally very lovable. But she needs prodding, she needs constant criticism, and if you are going to do her any good you simply must not laugh at everything she says as though she were a lovely child. -Jane is a woman, with a woman's experi ence, and she has a baby."

"And I propose, to fight it with every drop of blood in my veins wherever it rears its head. Tho biggest humbug ever proposed In I this country Is government ownership of public utilities.
