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

persuade me. 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."

ENTERTAINMENT
THEME OF DIXON
Says That Amusement Places
Should Be Sanitary as Well
as Safe During Summer
Dr. Samuel G. 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.
