"Their Married Life
Copyright by International News Service.
The waiting room at Lacy's depart
ment store was crowded as Helen en
tered and looked around. Laura had
asked her to come there for lunch, but
as yet she herself had not put in an
appearance. Helen sat down in one of
the few remaining chairs and glanced
idly at the woman next to her. People
always Interested Helen. She liked to
speculate on their lives from their
appearances. She could amuse herself
any time in a crowd doing this very
thing.
Suddenly Laura Wilson came in and
looked eagerly around. Helen walked
across the room to meet her, wonder
ing vaguely what had changed Laura
so obviously. Over the telephone her
voice had sounded triumphant, but
Helen was not prepared for such a
radical change in dress.
"Whatever have you done to your
self, Laura?" she said as they walked
to a table by the window. "I am eaten
up with curiosity concerning the news
you have to tell rue, too, so please
begin right away."
Laura was dressed very simply in
plain white linen with a soft sheer col
lar and dainty turned-back cuffs.
Laura drew off her gloves before
speaking. Then Bhe leaned across the
table and looked at Helen steadily.
"The most wonderful thing In the
world has happened to me, Helen, and
It hasn't come all at once either. I
have been on the point of calling you
up before, but each time I decided to
wait until you'd really notice a differ
ence!"
"Of course, I notice a difference. I
tcld you long ago how pretty you'd be
if you didn't pull your hair right
straight back and If you would wear
clothes that were really becoming.
That dress is a dear, and the hat is
so becoming, but, Laura, please get to
the point. I am so interested!"
"We'd better decide what we want
to eat first," said Laura composedly,
and again Helen was surprised. Be
fore, when she had gone anywhere
wth Laura, Helen had always taken
the initiative in everything, and now
Laura was going ahead In a way en
tirely foreign to her. Decidedly things
had changed.
"I'm not very hungry. X think I'll
have a salad, and some Iced coffee—•
chicken eaiad, I guess, is as good as
any!"
Laura gave the order to the waiter,
who departed, and then she turned to
Helen again with a smile.
"Well, in the first place, Helen, I
have had a raise!" She sat back and
waited for Helen to exclaim over this
piece of luck before she went on.
Helen exclaimed delightedly over
this Information.
"Why, Laura, I think that's simply
splendid, hut do tell me about it, and
is it very much?"
"Not so very much. 1 am getting
twenty-two dollars now. but six dollars
makes a big difference in a great many
ways, I can tell you. Do you remem
ber the day I had almost made up my
mind to leave, and I let Mr. Richards
talk me over? I was pretty mis
erable that day, I don't think I'll for
get it In a hurry."
I'swl To Be a Grumbler
Helen did remember it very well. It
had been a very trying afternoon for
her. and then Warren had taken them
t.cth to the tljeater that evening
"I remember that you were very
unhappy, dear. I was so sorry for you!"
"I used to be a perpetual grumbler,
Helen, and you were always so good to
me, when I know there were plenty of
times that I didn't deserve your pity."
"Nonsense. Laura! You know very
well that I had everything in the world
to make me happy and you had no
one to care!"
Laura smiled across the table and
tben went on hurriedly:
"Mr. Richards called me over to the
desk one day about a month ago and
The simple way
to keep your baby well
See that your baby gets enough fresh air, sleeps a certain
number of hours each day, wears the right clothes, and gets
the proper food. Then you will have a well baby, a happy
baby, a rosy, dimpled baby.
If, in spite of all your loving care, baby loses weight, grows pale and rest
less, he is not getting the right food. A well-nourished baby is seldom sick.
Nurse your baby if you can. If your milk fails, do not give him cow's
milk —tbe milk intended for strong little calves, not for your delicate baby.
Give baby the safe substitute —so like mother's milk that he will never
know the difference —

WEDNESDAY EVENING
told me that 1 had been very faithful
and that they had decided to give me
a raise in salary. He asked me if I
would be entirely satisfied if they made
my salary the same as the one I had
been offered some time ago. Of course,
I said yes; I waff only too glad to have
any kind of a raise, and then he-said:
" 'Well, Miss Wilson, I'll make it $2
more because you didn't desert us that
time.'
'Of course, I was delighted, and 1
thanked him rather rapturously for
me; I think it rather surprised him.
Anyway, he looked at me curiously,
and as he turned back to his work
asked ine why 1 didn't smile that way
more frequently. It wasn't much, but
it gave me something to think about
for the rest of the day.
"There isn't so very much left to
tell. I decided then and there that we
get out of life what we put into it, and
I have been trying to live with that
motto before my eyes ever since. I
bought a couple of simple dresses and
began to fix my hair becomingly, and
then I actually began to practice smil
ing before my mirror every night."
'And now you don't have to practice
any more, 1 can see that," put in
Helen eagerly; "yon have the dearest
smile. Laura, X have always noticed
that; it seems to come from inside and
It reaches your eyes last."
"Yes, I smile now whether I have
anything to smile at or not, and it
really helps a lot in making me feel
bright and happy. I really had to
show off for you, Helen, so here I am.
This salad Is very good, don't you
think so?"
Helen had been looking at Laura in
tently.
"Isn't there anything more?" she
said suddenly.
Laura, taken unawares, flushed
scarlet.
"Isn't that enough?" she stam
mered, and then, gaining her self
pessession quickly, "I should think
you'd be tired to death listening to me
rave!"
"You might as well tell me the rest,
Laura," ignoring the remark; "that
blush was enough to give away any
secret Don't you want to tell me?"
Laura was silent, then she looked up
and smiled that peculiarly attractive
sn.lle of hers.
"Mr. Richards hns been nice to me
ever since," she said softly, meeting
Helen's direct glance with slightly
heightened color and a look in her
eyes that Helen had never imagined
could be there. "And last night he
asked me to be his wife," this last very
softly.
"Oh. Laura." breathed Helen, "you
don't know how happy I am for you!
Why, I just can't tell you how I feel,
"Don't you really believe I know,
Helen? T couldn't have told you If I
hadn't believed you would feel as you
do. Rut I don't thing anyone, even
you, can know how happy I feel;
they're playing that Sari waltz; Isn't it
lovely?"
Helen was silent as they listened to
the music. She knew that Laura did
understand her feelings on the sub
ject. and even if she had wanted to it
would have been impossible for her
to say anything more just then.
A Little Girl of Eleven
"You know Mr. Richards has been
married before." Laura went on, after
a few minutes, when the music had
stepped and she and Helen had both
come back to earth, "but his wife has
been dead for several years. He has a
little daughter eleven years old. Helen,
it seems so wonderful to have someone
Who really cares. Sometimes I wake
up in the night with the idea that It
can't be true. And now I must rush
back, or T'll be late."

I Miss Fairfax
Answers Queries j
DON'T DESPAIR
Dear Miss Fairfax: Kindly advise
me what to do. I'm a younK girl of
eighteen and considered good looking.
I am kept very, very strict by my
parents. We have a business and lam
always in the store, even Sundays. I
am not allowed to go Cor a walk. I
am not allowed to have any men
friends. I have complained to mi
parents, but they don't seem to care.
PERPLEXED.
You are very young, my dear girl,
and all the possibilities of life are still
before you. Your parents probably
mean only to protect you from the silli
n<ss and affectation that are spoiling
girls to-day. Be simple and sweet and
modest, and some day happiness will
come to you most unexpectedly. Prove
to your parents that you are a sensible. J
trustworthy girl, and I am sure as
soon as any desirable friends come
your way they will do all in their
power to foster the acquaintance.
HE MAY HAVE A REASON
Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 live with my
married sister In a small city. I havt
chances to go to dances where I can 1
meet the nice boys and girls of the
town, but my brother-in-law objects.
I work for them and am paid for my
services, and don't you think it is self
ish for him to fry to keep me away
from these dances which are always
given at nice places? MYRTLE.
Possibly your brother-in-law thinks
he is guarding your best interests. Go
to him in a friendly spirit and talk it
over. Remind him of his own youthful
yearning for friends and fun and as
sure him that a little play will enable
ycu to bring adde zest to your work.
"\ HIGH SCHOOL AFFAIR
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a girl In the middle of my
'teens and in the midst of what is gen
erally spoken of as a "high school
affair."
I know It is silly for me to think of
love yet, but the more I try to forget
and get over it the worse it seems to
become. Can you suggest any way
which might help matters? Do you
think things would be better if I would
simply let them take their course in
stead of trying to prevent them? The
boy is all that can be desired in every
possible way, and I believe he thinks
more of me than I do of him; but I
cannot bear the idea of liking any one
as well as I do him at my age and in
my position, for I have work planned
out for myself for years ahead.
M. R.
Really, my dear girl, you seem so
sensible and logical that I feel sure
you can manage your affair very well.
You surely realize that you are years
too young for marriage and that you
have much to accomplish before you
are ready for a serious love affair. Sup
pose you simply try not to think about
this at all and just force yourself to
keep your mind on your, work and
your ambitions. I have faith in the
ultimate common sense of the girl
who wrote your analytical letter.

ward me, I would think that she is
taking more than a passing interest in
ine, and seejns to take me entirely in
her confidence whenever a conversa
tion is begun. When, after the lesson,
I ask her if I may see her home, how

The New Baby
is World's Wonder
Every tiny Infant makes life's per
spective wider and brighter. And what
ever there Is to enhance Its arrival and
to ease and comfort the expectant mother
should be given attention. Among the
real helpful things is an external ab
dominal application known as "Mother's
Friend." There is scarcely a community
but wnat has its enthusiastic admirer of
this splendid embrocation. It Is so well
thought of by women who know that most
drug stores throughout the United States
carry "Mother's Friend" as one of their
staple and reliable remedies. It Is applied
to the abdominal muscles to relieve the
strain on ligaments and tendons.
Those who have tised It refer to the
ease and comfort experienced during the
period of expectancy; they particularly
refer to the absence of nausea, often so
prevalent as a result of the natural
expansion. In a little book are described
more fully the many reasons why
"Mother's Friend" has been a friend
Indeed to women with timely hints, sug
gestions and helps for ready reference. It
should be in nil homes. "Mother's Friend"
may be had of almost any druggist, but If

Gettysburg, Pa., Aiik. 5. A bald
eagle was shot yesterday by John W.
Epley, 'of Sedgwick, while the huge
bird was devouring a pit? which it
killed and carried l'rom the farm of
Henry Swartz, near Rock creek.
The eagle measured seven and a half
feet from tip to tip of wings and
weighed ten pounds. The bird had
carried the pig a mile.
