Their Married Life

Helen sat ■with a little account book
*bß<ore her, a pencil In her mouth and
a forehead much wrinkled. In an ef
fort to balance properly. The month
ly accounts were always a hardship
to Helen, who hated figures, but she
had determined to manage as eco
nomically as possible and toiled faith
fully with her book every time the
Dills came In.
She had the month's grocery bill
before her. It seemed almost impos
sible that with such a small family
•o many things were necessary. When
had they eaten all that fruit, and
■urely they had never eaten canned
lobster. Helen thought faithfully, but
could not recall any time that she
had purchased canned lobster.
For one thing. Warren did not ap
prove of canned meats or fish. and.
besides, as she scanned the bill she
discovered that there were more item 6
of the same kind. Several cans of
lobster, sardines, and some expensive
cheese.
Nora had gone out and had taken
Winifred. Helen was beginning to
•worry about Winifred. She had
looked pale for several days, jand
Helen dreaded the hot weather. She
•wondered if Warren would approve
of her taking Winifred away some
where for the summer. She would
be perfectly satisfied if they could
go anywhere, Just so long as it was
cool and corfiTortable. Last year she
had gone away with Warren on his
vacation, but the two weeks wore all
that sh* VM taken. Winifred had
not been with them, and this year it
■was different.
Helen tried to decide whether to
•wait till Nora came in. or to go out
to the store immediately to see what
was the trouble. She finally decided
lo interview the Italian who kept the
fruit and vegetable place near where
she lived. She knew well the useless
»ess of trying to economize by trying
JR. cheaper place to trade. Once last
year they had changed places, and had
at Warren's suggestion, carried home
parcels to save a few pennies. She
had discovered that it did not pay.
Most of the stores where the price
■was less had fewer opportunties to
deliver, and it was a nuisance.
The streets seemed hot and the
children more prolific than ever.
Helen felt a little uncomfortable as
she noticed several people look at her
closely. She had gone out without
a coat, thinking it too hot to bother
•with one. and as her dress was charm
ing it made her look more conspicu
ous than she wished.
She reached the store at last and,
bill in hand, waited for pome one to
come up and ask what she wanted.
The store was cool and permeated
with the odor of fresh green vege
tables and fruit. Vaguely Helen re
membered the wharf at Colon and the
smell of bananas and grain. She
would never smell bananas o.gain
•without thinking of that morning they
landed in the tropics. Some one came
up to her at that moment and asked
•what she wanted, and Helen prof
fered her bill and asked what the
Items meant.
"I am sure I never bought them,"

TUESDAY EVENING,
she said, following tha man to the
desk, where he produced his book
and proceeded to look up the con
tested Items.
Helen had traded there for some
time, and the man was obsequious
and evidently ready to rectify any
mistake.
"You did not send anyone else to
the store, did you Mrs. Curtis?" he
said. "This first item is plainly
marked in the book. Look for your
self."
Helen satisfied herself that the man
was speaking the truth. She had had
a lurking feeling when she had come
out that something was not quite
right. It did not seem likely that so
many mistakes would be made, and
yet who could have bought the ar
ticles?
Helen was plainly puzzled, and de
cided to telephone home. Perhaps
Nora had come in and would know
about it. She stepped over to the
telephone and a moment later had
Nora on the wire.
"Nora. I am down at the fruit
store. Do you know anything about
any lobster charged on the bill? Or
sardines?"
Nora denied any knowledge, as
Helen was sure she would. She would
have suspected herself sooner than
Nora.
"There must be some mistake," said
Helen positively. "My maid did not
purchase them, and I am sure I did
not."
The man had discovered the other
articles, plainly marked, and seemed
a little uncertain as to how to pro
ceed. "I'll let it go for, a day or so,"
said Helen, finally. "You will surely
find out the mistake, and you can let
me know." She had felt like adding
something about carelessness, but de
cided not to, in case she was to blame
in any way.
At home she questioned Nora close
ly, showing her the bill, and the two
tried to think out a possible solu
tion to the puzzle. Altogether the
bill came to over three dollars for
the things that Helen was sure she
had not bought. It was too much to
pay for principle's sake, if nothing
else, when she was sure that she had
never bought them.
Warren's key in the latch came in
the midst of the discussion, and Helen
flew out to meet him. Nora called her
the next moment, and she left him to
hurry to the telephone.
"Oh, you did, well I was sure you
■would. Yes. of course, the two names
are alike. All right, fix up the bill
and send it in again. Please be care
ful next time."
Well that was over at least.
Yes, dear, the bill at the fruit
store," she said in response to War
ren's inquiry. Lobster and things on
the bill that I never bought."
"You'd never had any trouble like
that if you would stop this infernal
charging," said Warren unsympathet
lcally. Some day you'll wake up to
the fact that I was right, but I won't
get any credit for it."

WITH GRACEFUL AND
FASHIONABLE FLARE
A New Skirt that can be Made Plain
or With Cuffs Finish.
By MAY~MANTON
8628 Two- or Three-Piece Skirt
for Misses and Small Women,
16 and 18 years.
Flaring skirts and wide skirts make
all-important _ features of the newest
fashions. This one is designed for small
women as well as for young girls. It is
eminently graceful and of just the correct
width and since it can be finished at either
the natural or at the high waist line, it is
adapted to all figures. In the largest
view, it is shown with an upturned band
or cuff on the lower edge and that finish
is much liked. Here, the band is of con
trasting material, but frequently the
band matches the skirt and sometimes
in place of being stitched, it is made over
a crinoline foundation and blind stitched
into place, there being no sewing visible
on the outside. There are only two
pieces of the skirt and the closing is made
at the left seam. The model is a good
one for summer materials, linen, piqufi,
poplin, the cotton crfipes and the like as
well as for serge, gabardine and other
fabrics for the present.
For the 16 year size will be needed 5
yds. of material 27 in. wide, 3% yds. 36,
yds. 44 or 54 in. wide, with % yd.
44 in. wide, for the band or cuff, and
the belt.
The pattern 8628 is cut in sizes for 16
and 18 years. It will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department of
this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

PAXTAKG PARK VAUDEVILLE
The vaudeville bill at the Paxtang
Park Theater, this week, makes a
strictly first-class show in every re
spect. There is not an act in the bill
that would not be acceptable as a part
of any vaudeville show we have ever
seen.
Madam Oberta and her girls present
an act that is a positive sensation as a
spectacular production. It is probably
the most beautiful offering ever pre
sented on the park stage. The electrical
effects are really wonderful, and lasi,
but not least, the dancing done by
Madam Oberta and her girls has that
grace and ease tnat is absolutely neces
sary to make this style of dancing a
pleasing performance.
Billy Humphries, the musical mimic,
gave a most unique performance, and
had his audience applauding from th«
very start. Mr. Humphries gives some
wonderful vocal imitations of musical
Instduments and finishes with a whist
ling solo that is altogether pleasing.
Thessin'H Dogs give about the classiest
canine performance in vaudeville. The
intelligence displayed by the pretty lit
tle fox terriers defies description and
can only be appreciated by those who
see their performance. To any dog lover
this act alone is worth the price of ad
mission to the park playhouse.
Permane, the Italian wizard of the
concertina, was the recipient of sev
eral well deserved encores for his ef
forts, while George Moore ,a comedy
juggler, proved that even at this late
day It is possible to create new feats
in the art of jugglery.—Advertisement.

the belief that the blood in his veins is

"Cllf" Noyes, a distiller of whisky of

Governorship he decides to sign a pro
hibition bill, which means the ruin of
Noyes' business. Noyes visits Morrow
and proves that there Is a taint of
negro blood In Morrow. Morrow signs
the prohobition bill, resigns as Governor
and sacrifices hta love to devote the rest
of his life to the uplift of the negro.

appealed for a new trial following his

for violating the Mlddletown auto

out that the "blow-your-horn" signs

any municipal authority, and he de
clared the establishing of such a
"horn-trap" without permission of the
municipal body was unconstitutional.
