A Game Little American
Iiear Cynthia The discussion of
American and foreign wives has In
terested me greatly. I am an Amcrl-can-bern
girl, married at the nge of
sixteen. Just lllie Alturn, having no
home, lesing: both my parents whlle
very young. My schooling stepped
when I was twelve years old. I have
been married past fifteen years and dur
ing that tlnie hae certainly had some
trying times, mostly slcknefn; but with
Ged'a help I have always pulled through.
Te leek nt me today I feel sure jeu
would say, like many ethers, she sure
is a happy creature, whlle sometimes
my heart Ik near breuklnir I hnd enlv
been mnrrled n few years when I real- ,
Ized what an awful mistake I hud mnde. i
but I mil a geed sport, se 1 stuck, and
'ntend te until the .end. I have always
tried te leek en the bright slde of !
thltirs, and think myself mighty for
tunate when I see hew hard some ether
peer creator have It. I agree with i
many thlnj,-i H. Frank has said In his i
letter, but I think If he takes the time
te study s-ome of our American girls
he will find the same qualities elstlng
ih he does In the foreign girls nnd will
reel much prouder of an American
wife, for the American tclrl has the ir ir
senallty, and combined with these uu.il-
Mentions she can't be beat. Hew about i

and he treated me ever se nice, long

me. 1 knew hlin ci well, and c are

me n. uoed bit. but I gave most ff mv
mention te the fellow wne took me te
tint dance. WIkii It was tune te go
home my "neighbor" came cr te us
and nsked the fellow win the.- he could
take me home, us he lived next deer te
me. As I knew It would saw a let of
treuble for this ether fellow, I said yes
befere he could answer. lie looked
"lore," and Just ns 1 was going te ex
plain he turned en his heel and walked
away without saying geed night tc me. I
New, reeentlj he called me en the '

Who Invented Egyptian Cigarettes
The use of Egyptian or Turkish
tobacco in the form of cigarettes nnd I
with paper wmppers started ns the '
.lake of a common soldier during tuc
Siege of Acre in 1S32. It was during
this slcge that the chief gunner invented
nnd used for the first time r "spill" or
'paper lube that would just fit the touch
hole of the cannon and contain just the
right amount of powder te. lire the guns

The soldiers In
these days smoked ,

the Turkish pipe
which quite n number could smoke at !
once, according te the number of
mouthpieces attached. One evening nn
enemy shot crashed into the midst of the
smokers nnd net only killed severnl of
1 them but destroyed the pipe. That
meant "no smoking," since no ether
pipe was te be had. nnd they seen re
gretted its less mere than the death
! of their cemrndes.
Finally a corporal, who vas telling
powder "spills" for use the next day,
thought te piny n joke en his comrades.

hutband, tuddenty sells hit business
and gees te 2feie Yerk te be an
artist, she refuses te adapt herself
te his new life and the people then
meet, ft isn't until she meets-Lucy
Randelph that she finds a kindred
spirit, for Lucy Is also a small-town
wife and entirely out sympathy
with her husband.
The Artist's Medel
RAND knew that Carl Randelph
wan nnhrtniw with his wife It
wasn't that he had ever sold anything
definite, but unconsciously Carl javc
away the fact lu a number of ways.
Fer one thins, he disliked working In
the little back room with his things nil
crowded about him, and because he did
net go te buslncxs nnd worked nt home,
Lucy did net take his profession nt all
seriously, nud never thought of being
considerate of him in any way.
It was the Mime with Judy. She stilt
thought that Rnnd was crury, that he
bad been out of hla mind te leave a safe
business for the prccarleusness of an
artist's life. .
This beauty that he talked about se
incessantly. What did It signify? The
things that mattered wcre practical
things, that Rand thought little or noth
ing nbeut, and there wasn't a day that
passed that Judy didn't remind him of
the fact.
Am yet Rnnd had net tried, te sell any
of his things, and in consequence they
were eating into their capital in order
te live. They paid a hundred nnd twenty-live
dellara for their apartment, a
rent that te Judy was terrific, and
things cost se much mere In New Yerk
than they had in Lynbrook Junction,
that It cost a great deal te cat.
July insisted upon cooking nil their
meals, nnd It was si
could persuade her te
seldom that nanu
be out anywhere
te dinner.
He wanted te get out. he needed te
-co people, te make observations, te
I wntcli life. Instead, he was chained te
I the apartment, nnd for the most part te
a wife who had no confidence In him,
, who looked upon him as an impractt
i cnl dreamer.
One morning as Rnnd was seated at
his easel werklnst en u picture the bell
rang. Judy came out of the kitchen te
answer it, und a moment later was fac
ing a remarkably pretty girl across the
threshold.
"Is this Mr. Cnrlylc's btudie?" she
asked smilingly.
"l'ei, it is," Judy returned shortly.
Mr. L'arlyle, the artist '
Yes." I
"I wondered If he needed a model, !
the art institute sent me down." i
Judy wns speechless wlMi rage. She
had a tudden mad Impulse te slam the
deer In the glrl'ti face, but at that me- i
ment Rand, who had risen from his
cl. came te the deer.
"Come in. won't you?
I'm .working '

need a model I
model was. and nothing could chiingc It.
1 nethinir te make a scene, and she was
forced te step aside while the girl enmc '
into the studio and tat down opposite te '
Xd'y closed the deer and steed there
uncertainly. She wanted te stay nnd
iibtcn t0 the conversation, and yet she
' wns aware of the fact that Hand was

ignoring her, tnnt no wns proceeding
with his talk with this sirl as though
, it were something that did net concern I
his wife. Bhc could net btnnd there 1
forever, listening und looking at them, '
1 when no attention wn paid te her, nnd
hhe was forced te withdraw te thekitch

When she looked out Inte the studio
a few minutes later thn girl had removed

P3UU people came lu te the theatre
and sat down with much fuss and

They were two women nnd two men,
evidently husbands nnd wives who were
very intimnte friends.
In fact the two women looked cneugii
alike te be ristcrs. .

What she whispered no ene else knew.
But that she did whisper, and thru
the whisper was shot through with
scorching flames wns ens ly recognized.
All through the second net she was
darting fiery glances nt him. entirely

WHEN the lights came en at the

as seen as you looked nt them that it
was mero customary than the smile
which should have lingered nftcr that

Immediately following your accept
ance of this fact came your wondering
question; "What did they cvdr marry
ench ether for?"
Unfortunately you have te think that
question many, many times ns you
travel through life.
There seem te be se many married
couples who have forgotten why they
ever married each ether.
YOU can understand this after hear

they nre going te marry.
They senrcely knew them.
Thcv talk in n detached, impersonal
wny about "this man I'm going te
marry," "this young man." "Mr. So-nnd-Se."
He seems te be just "a man, never
"the man."
Life seems te have had just this one
goal the securing of "it man" and n
rlne with which te announce their en
gngement te him.
