The Marriage Trifler
By HAZEL DE-0 BATCHELOR
(CotvrloM. itto, bu Public Ledger Co.)
Kathcrinc
Barbara Knight when she married
Keith Orant looked on marriage as a
state expressly created for her amuse
ment and pleasure. She loved Keith,
but the deeper side of her had never
been awakened, and it was not until
she heard about Keith's friendship
with Kathcrinc Kewbery that she be
came troubled. After Barbara had
met Kathcrinc she saw plainly that
Kathcrinc was an exceptional woman
and that if Keith admired her there
was every reason for it. Katherine
turned the workaday world upside
down for Barbara, who had always
thought of women who worked as be
longing to a lower class. Barbara
realized that if she wanted to keep
Keith she would have to change her
ideas of life.
TTUSIAN psychology is a strange thing,
and often tho smallest, least sig
nificant matters have a far-reaching In
fluence. Since Kathcrlnohad met Barbara
Grant her drifting Ideas had suddenly
crystallized; nnd she realized In n flash
where her thoughts had been leading
her. She realized with a sense of shame
that actually sho cared nothing at nil
for Keith, nnd she knew quite well that
ho did not care for her. But that sho
had actually given a great deal of
though to him was true. She had been
flattered by his attention : she had liked
his air of unlimited wealth ; and she had
preened her feathers like a little peacock
because he sought her out and liked to
come to the Thursday nights. Katherlno
had not been wont to be bo foolish about
any one. but Keith had been different.
Now it suddenly occurred to her that It
was not she herself who had appealed
to Keith Grant It was the fact that she
stood for something ns far as he waa
concerned; thnt he liked her as n part
of n crowd of Interesting people.
In thinking the matter over, she
missed nothing. She realized that If
Keith were really unhappy nt home, if
his wife was impossible and selfish and
lacking In all that he wanted in a
woman, then It would not be dlfllcult to
Bway his Impersonal thoughts to the per
sonal. Before long he would see her na
a woman as well as a friend. But. ns
matters stood. Bnrbara Grant waa not
the kind of a woman nny man could
forget. Sho waa beautiful and sho was
magnetically appealing. Katherine wns
surprised that Barbara could be con
tented with the superficial life, led by
nor friends. Katherine had never for
gotten the Impression made upon her
that day when she had first seen Bar
bara's sister. Eleanor. Eleanor waa to
her the typical society girl, delicate,
highly strung, half-neurotlo and without
any of the wholcsomencsa of girlhood;
but Barbara was not that kind. Bnrbara
waa different Katherine reasoned Bar
bara had drifted Into her way of living;
nnd n natural-born leader, sho had gone
right on holding her place at the head
of things. Keith was a rebel who want
ed to break away; and she. Katherine,
had helped him do it. That was all.
Now that she was perfectly frank with
herself, she felt better about the matter:
and, as naturally ns though Bho had
waked up from a bad dream, she sud
denly woke up one morning and discov
ered that Bob Craig hart not been at the
house for ages. Ho had dropped in late

Many housewives find It possible to
do their own washing nt home.
Everything that will help them
should be considered, nnd one of tho
most importnnt things, is the posi
tion nnd Height of the tubs
dlfHrult to be sure thnt thcr nre clean.
Porcelain or cnamelcd-iron tubs nre
heavily glazed and do not rust or nb
sorb grease. Both white arid yellow
porcelain tubs nre on the market; the
latter arc cheaper but the color may
make It hard to tell when the clothes
nre white. A home laundry is often
equipped with two tubs, but when there
1& no washing machine n third tub saves
much handling of the clothes.
Faces Herself
ners at the studio, and how was it that
until now she had not missed Bob at all?
.i WI!esJr.8- Newbery had never men
tioned Bob's name to her daughter. This
morning, nt breakfast, when Katherlno
unfolded her napkin nnd, trying to speak
casually, remarked that sho wondered
whnt on earth had become of Bob, Mrs.
Newbery said, lightly, "Why, ho was
hero last Thursday."
"Yes. but onlv tar a mnmsmt n, i.
jnd of the evening," Katherine returned,
iuiKctiiMK iu uo casual in ncr earnest
ness. Mrs. Newbery was Interested In bring
ing the cofTeo to tho table and sho did
not answer. Katherine llloglcally won
dered at her mother for her apparent
unconcern. Why. any one would have
thought at one time that tho two wcro
closely In league; nnd here was her
mother acting ns though she did not caro
whethershe oversaw Bob again.
That evening, on her way home from
the offlce, Katherlno went Into a pny
station and called Bob up nt the paper.
She could hear tho clicking of many
typewriters as sho waited to bo put on
his wire ; and sho wns astounded to feel
her heart beating uncomfortably hard ;
nnd Bob's voice, speaking to her sudden
ly, let her almost nt a loss aa to what
to say.
"Hello, who Is it?" were his first
words.
"Hello, Bob; this Is Katherine."
"Kntherlne. there Isn't nnythlng
wrong, Is there?"
"Of courso not," nnd Kntherlne
laughed. "I thought you might like to
run In for dinner tonight. We're going
to hnve fried chicken."
"fiWIpti i I could, Katherine," came
quickly". rBut I can't make It tonight.
I'll try la run In on you later, but I
canVpromlse that much."
"Of course, you mustn't promise,"
Kntherlne returned, summoning nil her
pride to her nld. "I Just thought I'd call
to let you know you'd bo welcome." And.
.with a hasty good-by, she rang oft quick
ly, noi waning ior uoo to say anything
more.

The Woman's
Exchange
To Miss T. H. B.
The pictures that appear on the
Woman's Page havo no patterns to go
with them. They nre simply sugges
tions for making or buying. It is nice
to know sometimes Just what people nre
wearing when you start to buy a ready
made dress, nnd It is with the hope
thnt thoy will be helpful In suggesting
the stylish thing that these pictures nre
printed. They nre usually dresses that
could easily be copied or made up from
standard patterns.
An Engagement Ring
To the Editor of Woman's rage:
Dear Madam I have two questions
I would llko to ask you. Tho first Is
what would be the size of stone nnd
the coBt for an engagement (diamond)
ring, ono that would not he small nnd
yet would not be so largo as to be In
bad taste? In other words, a moderate
ring.
Is It possible to send by parcel post
a package to n distant postofltce nnd
havo It nwnlt one's nrrival nt tho lo
cality? I have nobody to whom I mav
send It, nnd I particularly desire that It
shall be there and ready for men when
I come to claim It. INTERESTED.
The cost of a diamond denendn an
much upon tho Betting, the ring Itself
and the storo at which you buy It that
u wouia nuruiy do possiuie to give you
any definite price. The only way you
can Judge this Is by looking at the rings
nt Vnriou3 stores nnd striking an
average.
If you know where you will be In the
town to which you want the parcel
post package sent you could send it to
that nddress nnd have It kept until you
get thero. If you do not know where
you will bo staying, simply nddreuu It
to yourself, mark It general delivery,
and It will be kept for you nt the post
office until you call for It. That Is, for
a reat-onable length of time, fifteen to
thirty days.
Social ' Service Work
ToAhe Editor of "Woman's rage:
Dear Madam I am eighteen years of
age and havo had four years of high
school training. I Intended to go to nor
mal Bchool, but as I cannot I would like
to do social work, helping the poor, etc.
Can you ndvlse me where to apply for
such work? Whllo doing this kind of
work I would like to be paid.
AN EARNEST WOniCER.
Have you had any trnlnlng In social
service work? It Is rather, hard to got
n position unless you hnve had either
experience or training. Thero Is a very
good training school nt 1302 Pino street,
the Pennsylvania School for Social Serv
ice Workers, If you do not want to
take n course of this kind you might be
able to work at o)o of the neighborhood
renters or settlement houses, but, of
course, those positions would not pay
so well ns a position thnt you could take
If you were trained or experienced. It
really pays better In the end to take
the course, learn the work and then
work up to a good paying position.
Trained workers nre always necessary
and they seem to be scare, so you would

Please Tell Me
What to Do
By CYNTHIA
It's Not Unladylike
Dear Cynthia I'm really so happy
I've decided to write ngnln nnd tell you
of my happiness. I'm glad you do not
think It unladylike to whlstlo nt home,
for you know I wouldn't whlstlo on tho

two heads nre better than one.
I'm not keeping company yet, for I

happy without, a fellow ns I would bo

Student of tho World, If you think it
unladylike to play n mouth organ, 1
can play ono flno. My brother calls me
nt times hla brother Bill, for he says
I can whlstlo nnd piny a. mouth otgnn

not tnko up violin or viola playing?
Summer Furs and Winter Pumps
Dear Cynthia My interest In Alplna's
question Is so great that I take great
pleasure In answering It.
The wealthy, I mean In money, wear
pumps In winter nnd of courso they aro
excised, becauso thoy usually don't go
out In BUch weather except in automo
biles. The poorer girls try to Imitate
them, but In so doing they exaggerate
themselves.
In summer these same rich go to cold
regions nnd thereforo wear furs. Then,
again, they are counterfeited.
Theso reasons, of courso, do not ex
cubo them; however, your question is
rather sweeping. You addressed the
"girls," but not all of them wear pumps
In winter and furs in summer.
Anyhow girls nre slnves to fashion;
I know, becauso I am a girl myself.
S. B.
Somehow It seems as if summer furs
aro being forgotten this year, though the
pumps were "going strong" In winter,
wero they not?
Who Said T. B. P. WaB Sllenced7
Dear Cynthia Will you not be kind
enough' to Inform the most conceited of
your readers, one "Do Jure," that ho
has not silenced "Billy" nnd "T. B. P.."
even though the former docs not desire
to havo any further words with him?
Tho latter Is awaiting a rainy evening
when he has nothing else to.do then he
will rcwrlto his last nnswer further
more, out of Justice, please tell "Do
Juro" that he was answered, but tho
answer wns too strong for tho column.
Silenced ! Humph not
THE BUCK PRIVATE.
Write Soon Again
Dear Cynthia Aro you trying to save
me some knocks from members of the
K. U. II. C. by not putting my other
letters in print? Why not get a Httlo
real "pep" In tho column and print some
of trie letters you merely answer, nnd do
not print tho letter Itself.
Tho "Old Bachelor" controversy Is
very Interesting, somo of tho answerc
wero extremely good.
The "Buck Private" is doing well to
"lay low." as ho was getting the 'Tilg
head" from tro much notice. I think I
worked with him in the P. S. B. Com
pany a whllo back. He Is n 'dandy
chap, a good looker, nnd a real manly
man, if he Is tho one I speak of.
Now, n Httlo knock for you, Cynthia.
Sometime bade in tho next column,
which I presume you write also, there
was n comment about tho girl that al
ways had something pleasant to say, no
matter what subject, or what Person
was under discussion. You Inferred that
sho lacked character, etc. Don't you
think thero is too much discord nnd dis
content nmor.g people, and tt takes
Just such girls ns I hnve mentioned to
keep the worlu on nn even "keel ? Too
much sugar-coated language Is never
out of place, even If it io n little lnsin
cere. The New England girl was right about
tho girls from those stntes being moro
thrifty, sensible, prettier, etc., than the

.DAILY NOVELETTE
The Un-Byronic Byron
ly LOUISE M. AI1DKLSON
C1LINOR WORTH, rushing downstairs
In answer to tho furiously ringing
doorbell, found her chum nnd next-door
neighbor, Alice Glorlng, In a wild stnto
of excitement.
"He's coming!" panted Alice, thrust
ing a slip of yellow paper Into Elinor's
handa
"Byron?" breathed Elinor, quite awed.
"Byron 1 Isn't It wonderful?" Elinor,
you'll Just ndoro him. If I were not
engaged myBclf I'd he's such a dear I"
Elinor did not doubt It. For two years
sho had heard praises of Alice's won
derful cousin. For two years sho had
listened to tho recital of his many per
fections, tho talcs of his heroic deeda;
of his kindness, his generosity, his good
looks.tuntll In her youthful Imagination
he had becomo a god. Even his name
appealed to her remantlc fancy. A man
named Byron, she felt, could never be
commonplace
"We'll Introduce you tomorrow after
church," promised Alice.
And, as her friend had predicted, tho
following day being Sunday, Elinor was
Introduced nftor church. Mrs. Glorlng
performed the ceremony with a little
flutter of pleasure. She was fond of
Elinor, and matchmaking was her
hobby.
"My nephew, Byron, dear Elinor, Just
returned from service. Byron, darling,
Alice's best friend, Miss Worth."
Elinor lifted her eyes. Sho tried to
say something pleasing nnd polite, but
her tongue refused to obey her. Some
thing wns wrong with tho world. The
sunshtno beenmo hateful, the songs of
the birds a mocking chorus. For Byron,
tho Byron of her Imagination, the poetic
creature of her maiden fancies, hnd
taken unto himself wings and-fled; and
in his place stood an odious, long
limbed, quito un-Byronlc creature with
sandy hair, light blue eyes, a wide
mouth and a nondescript noso.
"Isn't ho Just too sweet?" murmured
Alice In Elinor's car..
Elinor flushed, not so much at Alice's
words, as at tho sudden twlnklo In By
ron's eyes.
The days wore on. Elinor survived the
shock she hnd received. She met Byron
frequently nnd even learned to like him.
That gny twlnklo In his eyes seemed to
relieve hl3 plainness. But sho felt that
Fato had played n cruel Joko on her,
nevertheless, and that she would not be
tho same again. The rcnl Byron could
never attain a truly Byronlc place In
her Imagination. But ho had been in
Bervlce and It wns her dutv to be kind
to him, so she helped Alice entertain
him. She walked with him, talked with
hliru drove with him nnd folt herself
very magnanimous in doing It.
v. few weeks after his arrival n
French army officer camo to see Byron.
The girls were curious as to the object
of his visit, for Byron foretold nothing,
merely smiling with that exasperating
twinkle In his eyes. And the surprise
of the ladles waa great when tho young
Frenchman pinned a medal on Byron's
chest ns a mark of faor from tho
French Government for unparalleled
bravery and fortitudo on tho field of
battle and for chivalry and kindness to
French widows and orphans.
That night, when Byron Invited Eli
nor out for a 'walk, Bho was straagely
shy. Jt had como over her suddenly that
Byron wan n pcrsonnge.
"Elinor," said he, after they had
walked a few minutes In silence, "don't
you think you could like me a little,
though I am not nil that you had hoped
for?"
"All I hoped for?" stammeted Eli
nor. "Yes. You see, I know my aunt and
Alice have a way of raving over people,
nnd I could tell they'd given you a
wrong Impression of me. Also, my nnme
has been a stumbling block nil my life.
I don't know what my parents had
against mo when they named me Byron.
It Isn't so bad with men, but girls have
n habit of Judging u by nnme. Con
fess, now, didn't jou rather expect to
meet n shaggy-haired poet, Instead of a
plain John Jones'"
"Who has been decorated by the
French Government," sadl Elinor, soft
ly, "and who ncer said a. word about
It, though ho knew the decoration was
coming!"
"Oh, as for thnt "
"As for that," snld Elinor. "I realize
that poets could never have won tho
war for us, and that I'm a very foolish
person."
"If you'll forKlve my being un-Byronlc,"
said Byron, with his humorous
twlnklo, "I'll forgive your being foolish.
In fact, I'm pretty well pleased with you
aa you are."
Elinor stopped nnd made him an old
fashioned curtsey
"The Bentlmtnt'8 mutual, sir," she
said.
Which leased the un-Byronlo Byron
very much.

THE KIND OF TROUBLE-MAKEl
WHO TELLS
For the Sake of Breaking Up
Involuntary Accomplice in the Person Who
Believes Every Word She Says
SniO didn't want to sigh her real
name when sho wrote for ndvlce, and
so she took refuge behind the good old
standby, "Worried." And sho has rea
son in he worried 1
This Is the story. She hnd this "Ilo.v-1
iriena, wno qnmo to sec her n grent
denlMook her to nnrtles, nnd seemed to
like her very much. She liked him, too.
They went to n dance one evening, nnd
during the Intermission no doubt while
sho wns slapping her hot, pink fnce with
n flat powder puff her "Girlfriend,"
whom she has known for n number of
yenrs, came up to her.
"Listen," she snld. "I've got some
thing to tell you." They retired to n
remote corner, nnd "Worried" listened
while "Girlfriend" told her. Such
stories! All nbout the "Boyfriend."
When the lost ouc was finished his repu
tation nnd character were shattered.
"Worried" believed every word of It,
nnd the next dny wrote him n note sav
ing that she did not want to sec him
again.
Since then she hns been hearing thnt
the stories nre not true. In fact, she
has proof thnt they nre not true. And
now sho wants to get back his friend
ship. I'm nfrnid she will have, n hard
time doing thnt. A boy docs not readily
resume n friendship with a girl who has
doubted him and has not given him n
chnnce to "square himself." lie wns
probably deeply hurt and puzzled nbout
the whole thing nt first. Then after
ward, no doubt, he heard tho reason for
It all, decided "If that's the way I size
