The heart line should begin at or

If the heart line starts at or near

The Unwelcome
Wife
By HAZEL I)EYO BATCIIKLOH
(Copurleht, lt, by PnbL Ledger Ce.)
Antheny ttarrlman's marriage te'a
girt beneath Mm socially was very
disappointing te Mrs. Harrtman, who
hail expected him te marry Kdith
Vomsteok, a girl in his own set. Char Char
eotte was treated with scant courtesy
in her husband's home and was crttl
cised until she finally ran away anil
went back te her own family without
telling any one that she was te have
a child. The night the baby was
born Charlette lay at the point of
death ami Teny swOre te make it all
up ta her if she lived. Jlut during
her convalescence Charlette seemeil
changed and when Teny finally spoke
te her about going back te the "ity
she refused te leave her people.
Teny's Departure
AKTEIl his talk with hie. mother-In-
law Teny did net speak te Charlette
again nbeut leaving; the farm. He had
decided te let pride go and te win her
back by any means he could; A strnnce
nnd rather delightful friendship sprang
up between thtm. Charlette mnde no
attempt te treat him with any Intimacy.
There were no caresses. In fact nhe was
utterly changed. She e'emed elder, she
had mere reserve, nnd mere dignity;
from a rather shy child she had become
a woman who thought n, great deal about
life. In Charlette's own heart she knew
that she wanted te de the right thing;,
but she had no enthusiasm In her heart
nt present.
They talked ever the Tmatter of the
baby's name, and It was Charlette's wish
te call him after his father, se they
spoke of him as Junier, and Abner'a fend
hope that Charlette mlcht wish te name
the baby for him was nlppped In the
bud.
A beautiful layette of the finest lace
and silk and ribbons came addressed te
Mrs. Antheny Ifarrlman. A slngle en
graved card lay within which bore the
name of Mr Clnyten Harrlman. and the
message that she hoped Charlette was
feeling herself again. Charlette wrote
a Uttle note of thanks en cheap note
paper. There was no rancor In the
letter, but It was cool and friendly. It
was a letter that the Charlette of a
year back could net have written.
Teny began te dread coin? back te
the city without his wife. If he could
have analyzed hla feelings he would have
realized hew changed his own attitude
was. He was learning te leek for Char Char
eotte's opinions en things, te value them,
there wan mere equality In their relations
new and net se much condescension.
He fore, In spite of his Infatuation for
her, he had been quite conscious of the
fact that he was marrying beneath him :
new It was Charlette who had the upper
hand and, although she made no effort
te take advantage of the fact, she re
mained cool nnd remote, nnd merely
friendly toward him.
There came a letter te Charlette from
Kdlth Comstock, and n gift for the baby,
te which Chnrlette replied en the same
cheap stationery. Once Teny,would have
shuddered nt the Idea of allowing Char Char
eotte te use aiivthlng cheap, new he
would net have dreamed of" Interfering.
"He's madly In love with her." Mrs.
Graves thought exultantly, watching his.
eyes as they followed Charlette nbeut
the place. "And she Is treating him Just
as he ought te be treated."
But even Mrs. Craves did net knew
that Charlette had made no campaign
for herself, phe had no plans for treat
ing Teny one way or another. Her man
ner toward htm was unconscious, she did
net love him as she once had, the old
pain 'ii g'me, the ngeny that she had
geno through when, after her first Im
pulsive net, she hnd waited for him te
come and get her, seemed Incompre
hensible te her new. It was ns though
her suffering of mind and soul and ledy
had burned out all her capacity for deep
feeling.
She had no plans when Teny finally
left nnd he carried away with him u
memory of ash blonde hair blowing In
the wind, of wide blue eyes smiling In
friendly fashion upon him and a fleeting
kiss which hail no trace of the shy pas
sion of the old Charlette.
"Will you kiss me goedby?" he had
said Just before leaving. Abner was
waiting te drive him te the station and
Mrs. Craves had disappeared somewhere.
She had held up her face etedlenily
like n. child, nnd he crushed b ;lc the
mad Impulse te kiss her as he wished.
She ran Inte the yard te watch him until
he was out of sight, but even then she
had no conscleusnessthat she would miss
hhn greatly.

WHATS WHAT
Bv iiki.ev nrcciE
Rvery enu knows thut when a man
accompanied by a woman walks "en the
outside," thnt Is. en the curb side of
the pavement, It Is a conventional net or
protection, mere necessary, perhaps, In
the days of runaway horses than In our
meter-controlled era, but still a fairly
geed shielding Influence against possible
Jostling. Fer the same reason that he
usually walks en the eilrb side te pro
tect the woman the man walks en the
inlri the building side whenever rain
Is dripping from reef, cornice or ether
projections,
"Walking bodkin," that Is, walking
between two girls or women. Is net n

women nnd one man the man always
walks en (lie outside, excepting In the
rainy day emergencies already noted.

Te an Interested Dally Reader
Thank you very much for your sug
gestions about a complexion, but Cyn
thia Is net able te print trade names In
the column. I think our little friend
will find a geed complexion If she Is
careful net te eat tee many sweets, te
wash with fresh, cool water nnd a pure

"The Plebe" Is Sarcaatle
Dear Cynthln After reading "Cozy's"
ede te the rings of Saturn or was It
meant te be a nnrratle poem en the
Battle of Waterloo? I was moved te
remark:
Mere crime
In rhyme.
The tortures of the Inquisition are no
mere. In their stead we have the lyric
by-products of "Cozy," "Jeurnnllst" and
ethers who can't write poetry, but de se
anyhow. "THU PLEBE."
She Kisses Them
Dear Cynthln I read your column
tonight and was sorry te read "T. It.'s"
letter nbeut girls. I'm n girl who kisses
her boy friends geed-night, I knew It's
wrong, Cynthln. There was a time when
I didn't. I nm nineteen years old and I
came te the city two years age. I found
the boys quite different from my home
town. When 1 went out with a. boy and
wouldn't kiss him geed-night he would
net see me nga'n. They tell me the ether
girls de thnt nnd I must put upwwlth It.
I think It's a boy's fault the girls kiss
them. Hew will I tell them when asked
that I don't kiss? They will only say,
"De you wnnt me te tnke It without
permlmlen?" I'M BLUE EYES
Just say no Thnt Is nil therp Is nbeut
It. Don't nrgue, There Is always weak
ness tn argument.
Shall He Marry Her?
Denr Cynthln I am a jeung man
who Is badly affected from being In the
army. I was engnged te get married te
a charming and Industrious yeunc
woman In 1915. hut hnd It postponed nt
my request. She Is very nnxleus '
marrv me new, as she says new t nm
ill arid need her care. It seems te me
that her hannlness Is nt slnke nnd she Is
marrying for sympathy. ThlH girl dearly
loves me nnd I love her. She has be-i;
true te me or the last ten yenrj. I
really knew I would be happy with her
but would she be happy? Alse. rynthU
are the mummers going te parade In
Philadelphia en New Year's morning nnd
then go te Camden In the afternoon?
HAltllY H J.
Cynthia thinks you mny safely marry.
The girl evidently loves jeu and will
net be happy If she Is net with you. And
nu love her. Certain! v five years are
enough for her te be euro of her love
for you.
Believed a Tale
Dear Cynthia I am a young man of
sixteen nnd about three months age I
wss Introduced te a girl of about the
same age. I saw her often and we be
came geed friends. Twe weeks age she
sent a girl friend of hers ever te tell
me thnt she didn't want te knew me
any mere. I was puzzled nnd hurt at
this messnge as I had always treated
her with the utmost respect. I didn't
Inquire of her the reason for her sever
ing friendship with me. A few days age
I passed her en the street and she
smiled 'ind snld "Helle," and wanted te
atop and till); with me, but I walked en
ns 1 was angry al her remark. I really
like this girl anil would like te regain
her friendship. Plense tell me what te

that this girl came te you and gnve you

IT WAS early for customers In the

Then a customer entered quickly nnd
rushed up te the counter.
Nobody nnld nnv attention be hen.

They continued te dust and arrange,

muiiy mere things there were that he could study thnt he had uiiaccnuntnbly
missed he wns terribly disappointed. He thought lie had learned ubeut every
thing there was te be learned.
"Oh, well," he remarked nftcr a while, philosophically and hclf-conselingly,
"I've learned one thing, iinywny, and thut is that the mere jeu lc.irn the muie
there Is te learn. I can't understand it, though."
When Eddie gets elder he will understand u great mnny things he does
net understand new; hut whether it wns worth while going through se much
te learn se little, as Johnny said when he get te the end of the alphabet, is a
matter of taste. lie evidently enjoys it, and we hope his digestion is all right".
Most of us will think most of his luggage might he scrapped.
Edward Hardy Is Interesting ns another example of the nssimilntive possi
bilities of the human brain. He Is in the same class with Aaren Burr, who
entered Princeton at twelve; with Mucuulay, who wrote a "Compendium nf
Universal History" at eight; with Jehn Stunrt Mill, who took te Creek nt
three; with Milten, who wrote verses In several languages at sixteen, nnd
innumerable ethers, who, fortunately or unfertunutcly, escaped publicity uud
lHisterlty.
Aside from their scientific interest, se-called "prodigies" de net very much
concern the world.
It is a let better for man, for civilization and for progress and twice ns
unturnl te be able te think in one language than speak twenty
It is net se much what n mnn knows ns what lie can de with even a little
of whnt he knows that will make him or break him when he tries te find the
answer te problems fur harder and mere important than uuy ever prumulgai s
iu university halls.
Experience proves thnt attainments and uttninment are but infrequently
running mates the human mind does net seem te be built that wnj .
It would net be surprising if Hardy some day applied for a job of one of
his comparatively Ignorant cliissinnte.s perhups one who nt some, time iu his
scholastic career wns dubbed "dunce."
It is better te grew thnn te sheet everybody Knows whnt happens te the
marnthener who burns up the track iu the first few miles.
Fertuuntcly for Edward Reche Hardy. Jr.. he weighs H.'i pounds, is a
crack n jack swimmer, nn ardent devotee of outdoor sports mid quite anxious
te "mnke" the 'varsity eleven!
Fer thnt we take hack everything nnughty we hnve said about him"; we
wish him much luck nnd jej. And it is our sincere hope that he will in the
future net only win his football "('" nt Celumhin, but that lie will win his spurs
