International Newaj Service) The telephone raog insistently. Xora stuck her head Into the living, room. Helen didn't seem to be there, so Xora ran to the telephone in the hall and took dowy the receiver. "Hello: Yes, Mr. Curtis. No. Mrs. | Curtis is out. I git.'ss she'll be In , pretty soon." were her answers to, "Warren. "Toll Mrs. Curtis." Warren s voU-e j said over the wire, "that I've iust | been triven four tickets for the opera to-night Tell her to invite Mr. and Mrs. Stevens, or any one els* 1 , and meet me at the opera at eight. Do jou understand?" "Yes. sir." Xora said. "And Nora," Warren continued. "'I can't set up for dinner, so tell Xlrs. Curtis to send my evening clothes down to the office by a messenger. You understand? The opera at eight." "Yes. sir," the maid repeated. "I'll tell Mrs. Curtis as soon as she comes, in. No. I don't know where she is." I Nora hung up the receiver and walk- ( ed back to her domain. In passing l through the living room she stopped to straighten out some books and j magazines, and moved a lamp slightly l to one side. Nora took great interest.' and pride in the Curtis apartment. Back in the kitchen she started to; prepare the vegetables for dinner. ■ She looked up at the kitchen clock, j ' It was ten minutes past 4. Nora | wished Helen would £»-me in. It worked around to half-past four. ] Still no Helen. Warren's clothes had to be sent. Nora thought. She went I fhto the bedroom, took a suitcase from the closet, and then took Warren's clothes out. She put them carefully [ on the bed, looked them over, saw l that she had everything, and tinally packed them. The next thing was to got a messenger and send them down. This she proceeded to do. That off her hands. Xora went back to her work. A few minutes later u click in the hall door lock warned her of Helen's return. She met her and gave her Warren's message. Helen's face lighted up with antici- ' pation. 'Why, how splendid." she cried. "I've been to the opera once , this year, and I've been dying to go again. Quick, get the paper. Nora, so I can see what they're giving." Nora brought it to her. "Oh, it's 'Carmen.' " she said. "Good. I've never heard it. Now I must call up Mrs. Stevens." Helen, turned to the telephone and shortly j : heard Mrs. Stevens answer. "This is Helen Curtis. Warren's just gotten four tickets for the opera for to-night, and can't you and Mr. Stevens go with us? I know it's rue fully short notice to give you, but do come. Warren will meet us at the; Metropolitan. He can't come up for flinner." She Ask>» Helen to Take Diiutcr With Tlient 'We'd love to go,' Mrs. Stevens re plied. "Why don't you dine with its?" she continued. "You can't ? Well, then we'll stop for you and go to- > gethcr. All right, see you at twenty j minutes to eight, dear. Good-by." ~ Helen picked up her purse and muff and went into her room. She quick-i ly took off her hat and coat and furs;' Her next thought was the all-absorb- i inb subject of what to wear. Her rose-colored taffeta gown was quite ' new and still very fresh looking. She decided to wear it.

A few days before she had bought a narrow band of rhinestones to put in her hair. The rose frock had a band of them near the neck, so this would follow out the idea. She still had plenty of time to dress, and have dinner. There was time for a short letter to her mother, and then to get ready. At 7.30 Helen was dressed and wait ing. The rcse gown was particularly becoming. A tlesh»eolored tulle scarf floated gracefully about her shoul ders. Her dr.rk. wavy hair was softly and simply arranged. The last time she had worn the gown Warren, in an unusual burst of affection, nad told her that she looked quite ador able. She smiled happily, thinking of it. The ting-a-ling of the doorbeli an nounced the Stevens' arrival. Helen slipped into her fur coat and went downstairs. Mr. Stevens greeted her and led her to the waiting taxi. The two women chattered all the way dowTi. Mr. Stevens occasionally got a word in. Reaching Fortieth street, they joined the slowly-moving trail of motors, and at last reached the entrance. They were Just in time. Helen's eyes roved over the crowd. No sign of Warren. Well, she was glad they were there first. Warren always detested waiting. She watched 'he men and women with interest. Time passed and yet Warren didn't come. The music was starting. Helen hated to miss it. She went to the opera so seldom that she wanted to hear every bar. Mr. Stevens suggested that he would look for Warren at the other entrances. Warren tiets No Studs or Cuff Links "You both wait here." he said. I'll only be a few minutes." He had sacrcely left when Warren came in breathlessly. 'How d'ye do. Mrs. Stevens, glad to see you. Hello, Helen." turning to his wife. 'Where's Stevens? Gone to look for me? That's too bad. Good heavens. I thought I'd never get here!" "Why. what happened, dear?" Helen asked. "What happened?" he growled. 'You're a line packer. Never sent my studs or cuff links. I couldn't wear the ones 1 use in the daytime for this getup. Had to go all the way up town. Didn't start to dress until aft or you left. Even if you had brought them here, I don't know how I'd get them in.' He smiled unpleasantly. 'l'm very sorry. Warren. It was stupid." Helen murmured. Something always seemed to mar a pleasant time, she thought. However, Mrs. Stevens' presence would save further discussion. Poor Nora! Helen didn't dare say that she had packed the oag. Nor did she dare say that she had been out until too late to pack it her self. Warren would only be more an noyed than ever. Mr. Stevens pushed his way through the crowd. 'Hello, Curtis. Here you are. All ready? Got the tickets?" The women went ahead. When they were inside. Helen managed to get next to Warren. "Please don't be angry, dear." she whispered. "We're not so very !nte. But I'm sorry you had to go home." She. squeezed his fingers. 'Oh, that's all right." he mumbled magnanimously. "Come on." Helen smiled. Peace was restored. They walked quickly to their seats.

Wood I The ancient Hebrew philosophers 1 ! knew nothing of the theory of evolu | tion. They pronounced man a fallen 'angel. Hence the daughters of men. ]in expatiation for the sins of their ; fathers, were expected to "bring forth j children in sorrow." It was the duty jof women, because God made them I women, to suffer and pay the price. I This idea became so interwoven with , superstition and religious dogma that : lit was accepted as positive fact by j ! generation after generation. Indeed, when the blessing of anaesthesia was ; first discovery there arose a great hue ' ! and cry from the clergy against Its | [being used in obstetrical cases because i ■ it showed a direct contradiction to the! ! Sacred Word! To-day we think our-| | selves humane and scoff at such nar-i row mindedness. Yet the govern-1 ments of several of the most highlvj civilized countries in the world have' become alarmed at their decreasing birth rates. The normal birth is be coming a rarity, the abnormal one aj common occurrence. Blaine it upon athletics, advanced civilization, Na-l ture's method of thinking out the population or whatever cause you please. The fact remains and prob ably has much to do with the world wide interest among women which the i Twilight Sleep has aroused. A number of progressive and prom inent women have formed themselves into a Twilight Sleep Association with headquarters at 303 Fifth avenue. New | York. It is members of this organiza tion who are touring the country and ! expect to be in Harrisburg next Mon ! day at the Majestic Theater to tell of i their own personal experiences At j Freiburg. The association contains | many women prominent in literary. I artistic, educational, philanthropic and DRINK PEPSIMINT • '"drtCLYOUR SftW ' • Pepsimint doesn't taste the least bit like medicine.

Their aim is to edu- I cate and interest women all over the country until they insist that the American doctors make a careful study of the Twilight Sleep methods and adopt them in maternity cases when ever possible. Recoveries an' Speedy It is generally acknowledged that fear has a decidedly injurious effect upon the physical condition. It is the total absence of dread or fear before hand and the inability of the patient I to relive or remember any unpleasant - iness after awakening from the Twi light Sleep which is said to account for the quick recoveries which are | claimed for it. | The opinions are as varied among the women members of the medical I profession in Harrisburg as among their masculine associates. Dr. Maud Exley emphatically states that she | has formed no opinion as yet one way or the other upon the subject of the ■ Freiburg method of the inorphine scopolamin treatment. Dr. liouise I Taylor fears the effect of the drugs upon the more delicate organism of the (child but approves of the method in extreme cases. Yet to hide behind an anaesthetic when unnecessary and merely to escape pain she considers the act of a coward. It is interesting to note the position the physicians take with regard to the financial side of the Twilight Sleep question. The expert care and su pervision required naturally send their rates soaring upward. "Were I to take such a case," said a doctor in North Third street, "I would not think of touching it under SIOO. Tt would require my personal attention to the exclusion of all else for perhaps several days." The question arises in the minds of ' the public which was asked by Klisha of old, "Is it well with the child?" I Just here is the crucial test of the ] Twilight Sleep method. Naturally the j drugs used upon the mother before i the birth have their effect upon the 'child also. Dr. William H. W. Knipe of New York, says that out of 101 cases under his care in the past six months, eighty-seven infants cried spontaneously upon their introduction to the world of men and showed no sign of poisoning either while in the hospitals or afterwards. But what of the other dozen little tots? Were they victims whose names shall bo forgot ten in the march of progress?
