This feeling hurries her Into jier own marriage with Ted Banning, a newspaperman, CHArTER XXIII X TUB latter part of October, Laurel moved her menage DacK to iuo cuj. In an incredibly Bhort time cvcryming v In working order again, Laurel was lottled In tho cream and yellow suite end Dulcie and Grace were having les cons regularly with Miss Burko every morning. The children bad developed wonderfully and were In radiant health. Laurel loved them dearly and tho old fttllnr that she must do everything she onld for them because they were Gran--mi's children had changed Into the longing to givo them everything she had because- she- loved them for their "ab'Sooii as she was settled lt.be nc rented an Invitation to tho Bannlngs for dinner. Grnnvlllo was out of town on business and Laurel. In tho spirit of adventure, did not drive downtown in her own limousine, but took a taxi instead. Speeding through New York alone, threading the streets that were gradually bursting into lighted union dor, sho felt freer than sho had In n long time. She arrived at the Ban rlnM npartment at 7, nnd climbed two flights of stairs to the apartment. Winona ana acu huu iumu u win olsce on Ninth strcet.ln a reconstructed nrlvato house. A neat colored maid opened tho door to Laurel's ring nnd in a mlnuto Winona rushed out of an inner room and seized hor. "O, Laurel, it's bo wonderful to havo tou." She was pulling rtf Laurel's evo ning coat as sho spoki. "And how wonderful you look." Laurel's cheeks were flushed and slio looked nround eagcrtv. "Winona, wherever did you and Ted find such n dark of a place? I think It Is splendid. ' The rooms were old fashioned and high ccillnged, and they had the cream enamel woodwork that is so usual in the older, better houses. Winona had them furnished simply but attractively, and as the two women went Into the living room Laurel had a pleasant sense of the colored maid moving nround In the next room, where a white table was hid for four. "I asked Tom Benton." Winona said as she saw Laurel's eyebrows raise in quiringly. "I thought it would be nicer to have four. Oh, I'm so glad you carao early, so that I can hnvc you to myself a few minutes before tho men rri " "Well, I want to hear everything! about you ana Tea," lauroi buhi niugu ingly. "How do you manage with you at the office all day?" "Simplest thing in the world," Win ona said, slnngily. "Nancy's a jewel, and she manages everything from order ing the groceries to paying tho ice man." "And you'rn happy?" Laurel asked, unconscious of the wistful note that had crept into her voice. "Very, very happy," WInonn said softly and more tenderly than Laurel had ever heard her speak. "Laurel, are you?" she asked suddenly, impul sively. It was the first time that Laurel's happiness had ever been broached between the two women. "Why, yes, and I shall bo happier etill ncit summer." There was an in flection in Laurel's voice that might have been called triumph if such a thing could have been possible. "Laurel!" Laurel smiled, nn inexplicable smilo. "In June," she said steadily, purpose fully, "In June, ray child will bo born." Thcro followed all the tender little murmuring that women say to each other when they aro genuinely devoted and th0 friendship is real, But niter ward, when Winona thought it over, she realized that she had not under stood Laurel's announcement of tho fact. It had not been the normal ntll tudo of tho expectant mother at nil, thcro vas something else behind it. Their intimate confidences wero Inter rupted by Ted's key in the lock, and It was n joy to sco him kiss Winona before tho others. Sho wan so indignant, and so embarrassed and yet so secretly pleased. They laughed and talked n great deal at tho dinner, which was very good nnd deftly served by Nancy. Afterward, Benton took Laurel home In a taxi. He was very silent for n time, nnd finally he spoke. "Laurel, you know I care for you, don't you?" She turned to him then. "Tom, you mustn't tell mo Hint, now, you know." "I want you to know it. I want you to kuow that if you need mo at any time, I shall be there. 1'ou havo harder, different somehow. If I thought you weren't happy," ho stoppid aud drew a long breath. She leaned over nnd put her fingers on his nrm for a moment, "I am happy, Tom," sho said, softly. "But J shall remember what yoti havo said, and I appreciate it." Later, aa sho was sipping hot milk Inthe cream and yellow sitting room, her feet thrust into satin mules, her gorgeous hair rippling down her back, over tho gold-colored negligee, sho thought of Tom Benton. But even as she did, Granville sprang suddenly into her thoughts, and shn caught her breath and the blood rushed to her face. Sho loved him.

Although tho program was ono of great excellence,; the orches In Philadelphia this year, especially in tho first part of tho symphony. Mr. Dararosch opened tho program with tho "Sixth (Pathctlque) Symphony of Tschalkowsky. His reading of this highly emotional composition was ratner conventional, although it must bo ad mitted that it w,aa ''by the book" and thero wero no exaggerations either of tempi or dynamics and no changes of tho orchestration in it. Tho chords nt tho closo of tho first movement wore played by tho trombones without mutes. Ho began the nllcgro nftcr tho introduc tion at a speed but llttlo taster than the Introduction Itself, thereby missing the magnificent contrast which Tschalkow sky evidently intended at thin place. Tho orchestra did not ploy tho first movement nearly up to tho high stand ard which we havo been led to expect from It this season nnd last. There was rnnnldrrnhln rouehness. tho French boms wero atrociously out of tune, tho was ono ot great excellence,; mc orencs-1 uorns wero uiruuiuuoijr uui m muc, uv rtra did tho poorest playing It hns done attacks wero not simultaneous and thcro was also a good bit of unevenness both In speed nnd In tono quality, suggesting insufficient rehearsals. Eaoh succeeding movement wui bet ter played than the last and the fourth was very much the best of tho sym phony. Mr. Damrosch is not tempera mentally inclined to extremes of dy namics, although Tschalkowsky, espe cially in this symphony, has gone fur ther in his markings in this respect thnn any other composer, with the exception of Cesar Tranck. With this possible reservation, tho last movement was vory beautifully played. The third move ment was received with tremendous np plauso by tho audlenco nnd Mr. Dam roseh called upon the members of the orchestra to acknowledge It with him. The second orchestral number was a Habanera bv Louis Aubert, a Swiss composer.

Howthe President Has "Come Back" President Wilson "knows that he is now quite up to his fighting weight. As to his mental vigor, it is simply prodigious. He is giving splendid attention to the affairs of state, and we have every assurance that he will become progressively more active in these matters with the advent of spring and sunshine," according to one of the President's physicians. Disturbing, however, arc the words of Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan, former President of the American Medical Assoqiation, who says that "the disease of the arteries," from which the President is suffering, "is permanent and not a temporary condition." Whatever the President's mental and physical condition, in the opinion of the medical men, he has emphasized his return to public life by receiving a delegation of railroad labor leaders, by sending to the Allied Supreme Council a virtual ultimatum on the Fiume controversy, and by dropping his Secretary of State. The latter action startled the public and aroused a storm of criticism, much of it unfavorable to the Chief Executive. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for February 28th, there is an illuminating article, illus trated with striking cartoons, upon the return of President Wilson to his official duties. It pre sents the editorial opinion of American newspapers upon the President's recent activities and gives various reasons why Secretary Lansing was asked to resign.
