(Copyright. 1910. 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. She had a simple I

gown, but it always made her too pale
locking, and her hair never showed
to good advantage with 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.

Normal Birth Is Rarity;
Abnormal One Common
Many Governments of Civilized World Alarmed at Decreasing
Rate; Twilight Sleep Hailed as Means of Restoring It;
Local Woman Physician Fears Effects of Scopolamin Upon
Child
By Anna 11. 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.

economic fields. 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? There
