10 \^7o(v)en Their Married Life By MABEL HERBERT URNER Helen Has Real Sympathy with the Weakly, Yielding Mature of Another Woman. "Who?" Helen repeated it sharply. "Mlbs Wilson. ma'am," the hallboy's voice blurred through the phone. "Oh, Miss WILSON!" with a pleased note of recognition. "Send her right up." A moment later Nora uehered in a young woman in a plain blue serge suit that just escaped being shabby. "Why, Laura, what's happened? "You're not very cordial," cynically. "I'm making an afternoon call. Its Saturday, you know. Even a fifteen dollar stenographer can make an oc casional call on Saturday." Helen made her comfortable on the couch with a couple of pillows, then drew up a chair beside her and waited for the confidence that she knew would come. , , . , For a moment Laura leaned back with closed eyes, as though It was good just to relax. Then she threw out her arms with nervous, desperate gesture. "Oh, it isn't fair! It isn't FAIR! There Isn't anything fair about it!" "Is it about your work?" gently. Laura nodded. "Oh, I've been such a fool—such a consummate little fool! I had a chance to leave, to get more money and less work —and I didn't do it! I let Mr. Richards persuade me into staying." "But aren't they going to give you more? You said you thought they would this Spring." "Not a cent. He won't even get a girl in to help me. I've been doing all my own work and Miss Lang's, too, since she left. I'm killing myself there," desperately, "and yet I've promised to stay!" "But why. If you had another offer?" "Why? I don't KNOW why!" ex citedly. "I must have been insane. I went into his private office this morn ing to say that I was going to leave, but when I came out I'd promised to go on without a cent increase. Oh it makes me AVILD to think about it!" "Did you tell him about the other offer?" "Yes: but he said I'd never be happy in a big office. I wouldn't have the independence. I'd have more people over me, and he knew I'd regret changing." "Then, if he's so anxious to keep you, why doesn't he give you more?" "He says they can't afford it," bit terly; "that business is bad, that the war's upsetting everything. But if I'll stay on until things are better" with a skeptical shrug. "What will he pay you then?" "He didn't say. He didn't commit himself In any way. I'm just to go on and leave it to his generosity to do whatever he pleases. Oh, he sim ply wound me around his finger!" "When did all this happen—to day?" "Just before we closed —at 1 o'clock I went in to give him a week's notice; to say that unless he could pay me more I was going with Briggs & Carter. Oh, I don't know HOW he did it, but he somehow made me feel that I'd better stay where I was. I'd left the office before I realized how weakly yielding I'd been. Then I be gan to think of the things I'd meant to say. I'd made up a little speech before I went in, but somehow I didn't say it." "One never does," nodded Helen un derstandingly. "Oh, it's all so unfair! They've never appreciated my work. I've stayed after hours, I've gone without luncheon, I've brought work home and they've taken it all for granted. They'll never get any one else to do the work in that office for the salary they're paying me. Before I got home I was wild at myself for having promised to stay. And then"—she leaned back with a satirical smile— "just what do you think I did then? A Sudden Impulse "Something Impulsive and foolish of course." "I stopped in a drug store and called him up! I said I hoped he wouldn't think me whimsical, but that after all I felt I COULDN'T go on, that the work was too hard, that Oh, I was excited, I don't remember just how I put it." "Well?" Helen leaned forward tensely. "Oh," with a hysterical laugh, "I ought to be in an institution for the feeble-minded." "You don't mean you let him per suade you again?" Laura nodded. "He didn't have to cleaned j GOLD DUST fgpd Coal Is Cheapest and Best Now To buy coal now la to buy It at the cheapest price for which it can be obtained during the year.

He just said coldly that I must do as I choose, that If I wished to change my mind again that was my privilege a sort of washing-his hands-of the whole matter air. Some how he made me feel so small that I ended by almost reassuring him I'd be glad to stay. Oh, I know you can't understand how anyone COULD be such an idiot." "Yes, I can," mused Helen; "that's the woman of it—the fear of displeas ing the man. I don't care what man it is, if he's at all forcible he can al ways dominate a woman just by mak ing her feet that she must'nt displease him." "That's it." Laura caught at the phrase, "that's just what I felt—that I mustn't displease him! And before I hung up the phone I was almost abpect for having disturbed him again." She clenched her hands, "Oh, WHY am I always so weak? Why do I always back down?" "Don't dear, don't get all worked up. It won't help." "Oh, but I'm consumed with rage at myself. I had a chance to tell him about all the extra woork I've been doing—and I didn't. While he was talking he almost made me feel that my work was easy, that I was being well paid for it, and that he was sur prised that I was dissatisfied." Man, Poor Man! "That's a man privilege—to make a woman always feel that she's In the wrong." "Anybody can put me in the wrong. I can never argue—l can never tell my side of a thing well. If I had solid gold bars to sell, any one who's clever could make me feel they weren't worth much, and that I'd better let them go for the price of brass. Oh, it Isn't fair, It isn't FAIR!" "Dear, you'll only make yourself sick. Try not to dwell on It You can't afford to waste your energy this way. Walt, let me get you a glass of sherry." When Helen returned with the sherry, Laura was leaning back with closed eyes, her utter weariness show ing in every line of her face. "I'm worn out—l know I am. Last night going home I thought I'd faint in the subway. I've worked till half past six almost every day this week— they don't APPRECIATE it! No mat ter how much extra work I do—they take it all for granted!" She rose and put down the empty glass with a gesture of despair. "Oh, I didn't know it was so late— it's almost six. Well," bitterly, "I suppose I'll go home now and brood over It all night—and all day to morrow. How I dread Sunday!" Again her hands clenched, as her mind went back to its grievance. "I put so much of myself into my work —that's why it hurts so when they don't appreciate It. Oh, is Isn't " "Now, don't begin that again," pleaded Helen. "And you're not going home to brood over a lonely restau rant dinner," as Laura started to draw on her gloves. "You're going to stay right here and have dinner with us." "Oh, I'd love to, but Mr. Curtis, you know, I always feel " "That's foolish. Warren would like to have you. Wait, there he is now," as they heard the hall door open and close. Helen ran out into the hall and greeted Warren with an eager, whis pered: Warren to the Rescue "Dear, Laura Wilson's here! She's tearfully blue and discouraged about her work. I'm going to make her stay for dinner, and don't you want to take us to the theater 'or somewhere afterward? If she goes home now she'll just brood herself sick." "Sure," cheerfully. "Wouldn't mind seeing a good show myself to-night." "Oh, you DEAR! You're always so generous." Helen drew him back into the shadow of the hall, where she kissed him purringly. "Dear, we have so much and she has so little—let's give her a very wonderful evening." "Fine! We'll cheer her up." Then breaking away from her, he strode into the front room, where he greeted Laura cordially. "Oh, no, no,' she protested feebly. I'm too disagreeable and morose to afflict myself on any one this evening. You'd better let me go home and brood it out alone." "Nonsense, you come right along with us," insited Warren heartily. "We'll take in a good show. None of those hobby problem plays, but a corking good comedy. That'll set you up."

Dixon, State Com missioner of Health, makes a plea for amusement places to be clean, well ventilated and cool as well as safe in his week-end talk. The commissioner points out the rapid growth of the "movies" and how people are throng ing to them in a way never dreamed of. Naturally this has brought some conditions in construction, which have not yet been remedied. In his observations Dr. Dixon says: The most popular form of enter tainment of the present day Is the moving picture. Tens of thousands of our citizens attend these popular priced theaters daily. That this eco nomical form of entertainment has come to stay until supplanted by some equally reasonable and enjoyable sub stitute is scarcely open to argument. The value of some Inexpensive form of amusement for the tired worker is obvious but there are certain condi tions which the purveyor of such en tertainment should -consider due his patrons and which they should in turn demand. Proper ventilation and cleanliness ought to be given without the asking and when they are not provided they should be compelled. The shocking accidents which have brought the public to a realization of necessity for adequate protection from Are in places of public amusement taught their les son at the price of many lives. The crowding of hundreds of people into improvised auditoriums which are stuffy, overheated and ill ventilated has no doubt exacted an equally high death toll from pneumonia and other infectious diseases. In the early days of these enterprises when there was an uncertainty as to the lasting popu larity of this class of entertainment it might have worked a hardship to de mand too much. Under present con ditions when a great mass of the people are supporting these theaters the protection of their patrons' health is essential. The working man or woman who seeks relaxation after a day's toil will not secure the full benefit if shut in a crowded, ill-smelling, badly ventilat ed auditorium. Their pleasure will be lessened though they may be unaware of the fact. They are being deprived of the full measure of their recrea tion. The public themselves hold the remedy largely jvlthin their own hands. Use your influence to aid the health authorities In their efforts to improve housing conditions. If you are a patron of the movies seek those places where the proprietor has pro vided proper ventilation and cleanli ness. Avoid the close 111-smelllng or scented atmosphere lest you pay the exorbitant price of headaches, colds or pneumonia.
