And So They
Were Married
By HAZEIi DEYO BATCIIELOR
CopyrlsM, JJ. bv FuliHo Ltiotr Co,
The Woman's
Exchange
TTAVn you told .Tnno nil thU?"
--1 Iluth nskcd evenly.
"No," Hob replied almost miserably.
"I couldn't."
"Whut lins happened then?"
"O, just bickerings and constant
faultfinding nnd making up ngaln, but
I nlways know when c make up that
it isn't for good, for something is sure
to happen."
Ruth hail a sudden Inspiration. Hob
had intended to ask her advice about
this when he had come there this nfter
noon. She could see that. She wished
suddenly that Helen ncre hero to help
her. Helen was so efficient, she would
know just what to say. Why ww it
that every one unloaded troubles on
Scott and herself? It seemed that she,
Ruth, had been settling martial troubles
off nnd on the whole of their married
life. Was it because they had something
that other people hodn't? Was It be
cause other people sensed this and
envied them? A warm glow of feeling
surged up over Ruth. If that were true
it would help so much in tiding over
her blue spells when everything seemed
to go wrong, her temperamental spells
when the least thing that Scott said
or did she misconstrued and allowed it
to make her unhappy. If she could be
instrumental in helping this marriage
of Jane 3 she would be so proud and
happy.
"If you haven't had a talk with
Jane," snid Ruth finally after what
had apparently been a long period of
thought, "jou should do It very soon."
Bftb looked nghast. "What, talk to
her about things like that? 'Why I
couldn't, I couldn't hurt her like that."
"Tou'd hurt her a great deal worse
if you ceased to love her Bob, and
that's what will happen if things go
on like this."
Bob considered this remark, his eyes
fixed musingly on the swaying blue cur
tains and the trailing green of a flower
pot in the window.
"Do you know," he said abruptly,
"that after nil n remark like that is
true. If outsiders heard that a man
could cease to love a woman because
she is untidy, they would think it a
small reason. But it isn't a small rea
son, it's as deadly as any big reason.
A man cau't dicnm about a woman
who isn't dainty, he can't visualize her
as he wants to. It terrifies me when I
think of it."
Ruth thought what n dear boy he
was as he sat there talking out his
heart to her, she felt suddenly that if
she had Jane there she would gie her
a good shaking. Jane was the most
utterly prooking mortal in the woild
with the least sense of responsibility.
When Bob left thnt day, he had
promised to lime a talk with Jane,
a good plain talk about ugly facts of
life. He had 11K0 promised to sec that
his mother did not inteifcrc with Jane
and that he would be careful about ap
parently siding w ith his mother against
his wife.
"Keep matters between yourselves,"
Ruth had warned him, "and let me
know how things come out."
That night Scott brought home a
blue Persian kitten. He carried it care
fully in a basket four times as big as
th baby cat and made Ruth guess what
it was. Finally when he lifted it out
and put it into Ruth's arms, and she
had cuddled it a while, and when they
had both stood over it while it lapped
up some milk, Ruth asked Scott sud
denly how he happened to think of get
ting a kitten.
"Don't you like it?"
"O, yes," said Ruth catching it up
and resting her cheek against its vel
vety fur. "I loie it, but I never would
have thought of getting one. How did
you happen to?"
"I thought it would be great fun to
have it running around the house,"
was Scott's reply. Ruth thought of this
afterward and thought of it in various
ways. It struck a chord in her that she
remembered having felt rome time be
fore, but she could not remember just
what it was. She taxed her brain in an
effort to recall it but she could not. All
evening it kept occurring to her at dif
ferent times while sho and Scott were
at the theatre, but vaguely, so that she
could not connect it with any thing.
When they reached home and the
kitten leaped to meet them with absurdly
funny bounds, it struck Ruth again. It
was annoying the way it kept coming
back to her again nnd again.
It was after they had gone to bed
and Ruth had dropped into a slight doze
that she woke suddenly, remembering.
It was when sho had held Jane's baby,
Joy, tightly in her arms.

Kittens Want Home
To the Editor of Woman's Paoe:
Dear Madam I am coming to ask
your help again, for you are so good
nnd kind to these poor helpless cats and
thought maybe jou may know of some
one who may want a kitten. Now I
have two small ones thnt I picked up
in n lot, after they lay there for three
days. Another one of them was stoned
to death but these two were left so
I took them homo as I have a cat that
has a kitten, so they could nurse on
her until they were old enough to eat.
Now they can eat and are so cute;
they are both maltese nnd very pretty
so if jou know of nny one who would
take these I would be very thankful to
you as I can't put them out. I for
got to tell you I also have one of those
other ones I first wrote you about. The
people put it out two weeks ago nnd
it cried in our back yard so much so
I took it in ns I could not see it suffer.
Now it is nice nnd fat and I would
like to find a home for this one also.
l'lease let mo know at once ns I
nm going nwny for a couplo of weeks;
I will leave next Wednesday. They are
all inaltcsc cats, two small ones and
one a little lnrger and all very clean.
I would not like to give them where
they are used for tojs for chllldrcn.
MRS. A. S.
Poor little kittens I Surely some of
our readers will want them. Letters
for Mrs. A. S. will be forwarded.

means to mothers
rpHAT Bond behind Bond Bread means it is the safest of all
foods for my children
"Yet it costs me no more than other bread "
Said a. mother lately and it wasn't mere talk.
She knows that good health is the most priceless gift she can give
her boys and girls that ill health is a handicap that will follow
them clear through life.
And she knows that Bond Bread is pure, and she is taking no
chance when she lets her youngsters eat it.
Isn't it worth while to give
him the food that keeps him
well to help him build the
foundation for sturdy man
hood. Give your boy or girl a bowl
of Bond Bread and Milk at
leaBt once a day.
Three reasons why you should
insist on Bond Bread
! . Every ingredient in Bond
Bread is listed on the wrapper
of each loaf, and Guaranteed
pure by the Bond of the Kolb
Bakery Company.
2. The Bond Bread Process,
evolved by the world's best
baking experts, makes every
kernel of wheat yield its full
est nourishment, in the most
highly digestible form, by
completely gelatinizing the
starch.
3. The taste, texture, and the
crisp, brown crust of Bond
Bread are patterned after the
best home-made loaves sub
mitted by local housewives in
our Baking Contest.
We could not make Bond Bread
better or purer
We could not make it purer Be
cause every ingredient is the best
that money can buy. We could
not make it more nourishing
Dietetic scientists say that Bond
Bread yields more real nourish
ment than average home - made
bread.
We could not make it more delici
ous Because Bond Bread is patterned
after the prize home-made loaves
selected by your local judges in our
baking contest.
Therefore, as you value your chil
dren's health as you prize their
happiness give them more Bond 1
Bread.
faPrP
Bond Bread is so
named because
each loaf bears
this bond of the
