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."

the relief materials distributed in
Kurope during the months of July and

000 francs.
The American Red Cross, the state
ment sets forth, now is conducting op-
orations in seventeen huropean coun

Government Ownership
Ocean Grove, Aug. 25. "Billy"
Sunday, at camp-meeting here, declared
against bolshcvism nnd government own-1
orshlp of public utilities. I nm op
posed to bolshcvism, no matter how 1 1 (
is attired." he said. "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. I am not in fnvor
of men having something that does not
belong to them. Thnt Is nothing but
socialistic propaganda, pure and simple.
Tho one sure nntidotn for bolshcvism
nnd kindred evils Is the Gospel of Jesus
Christ."
Prohibition pleases "Billy." "Thank
God, I've lived to sec old John Barley
corn tried nnd convicted, nnd the white
winged dove of prohibition soaring over
the dome of the Cnpttol at Washing
ton," he said. "Why, America Is so
dry today jou've got to prime a man
before he can spit." In politics "Billy"
declared himself to be a Republican,
but he said he respected tho ideals of
every man, regardless of party.

Want Him to Sing In Mexico at
$10,000 an Appearance
New York, Aug. 25. Friends of En
rico Caruso said that the Metropolitan
tenor, who will arrive tho latter part
of this week from Naples, returning
earlier than ever before in the sixteen
years he has sung in America, would
bo met on landing hero with nn offer
of ten nppenrances in tho City of Mex
ico at the now record salary of $10,000
a night. His highest pay before this
was $0(100 nightly fee for n season nt
Buenos Aires nnd $2500 in New York.
The Mexican offer has been pending for
Bome time, but under present political
conditions at the border Caruso's deci
sion is still in doubt. If he refuses to
risk tho $100,000 engagement in Car
ranzn's cnntal he may spend the time
before tho Metropolitan Opera season
opens in completing a concert tour here
In the States.
Caruso nnd his wife snilod August 17
from Naples on the Giuseppe Verdi,
which is due here about next Thursdny.
On tho same liner with the Carusos
sailed a number of Italian members of
the Metiopolitnn chorus, with Guilllo
Settl, their leader. Another artist of
the troupe, the priucipul dancer, Rosina
Galli, is n passenger on the Taormina,
arriving about the same time.
