OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER IV
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company)
New York in summer is not all bad
—always supposing one has the leis
ure and means to live as one likes.
But to those who are unaccus
tomed to self-denial, and who have
not the money for self-indulgence,
Kew York as a summer resort
leaves something to be desired.
This fact was borne in upon
JUvra Webb during the warm season
following the Spring in which her
husband's business was wrecked. The
warm weather was well upon them
. bv the time the trio were settled in
the small apartment. Their new
quarters were not cool, for the sun
shine that made the flat desirable in
winter made it torrid during the long
summer days.
Then, too, cooking in a small
kitchen is hard on one who is not
used to such work, and Myra and
Grace wilted under it.
Both women, however, kept silent
About any discomfort that they felt.
The master of the small establish
ment had enough to bear, they tao-
Itly decided, without their uttering
any complaint.
Horace Absorbed
So absorbed was Horace in setting
his feet upon the lower rung of the
ladder by which he would climb that
he seemed not to notice their weari
ness of their new occupations. Yet,
toward the end of July, Myra spok«
to her daughter of what was in her
Blind.
The occasion of this speech was an
Invitation that Grace received from
s former college friend urging her to
come out to the latter's summer home
©n Long Island for a week-end party.
"You must go, dear," the mother
declared.
Grace hesitated.
"I hardly think I shall," she de
murred. "Dorothy and all her
friends have lots of money. She
has never been to our home since
we moved. The last time I saw
her was at the engagement luncheon
we gave Mary Ellett. You know
Dorothy was ill in the Spring and
flid not return to college after the
Faster vacation. I wrote her that
father had met with business re
verses and that we had given up
our house and taken an apartment.
I did not tell her what kind of an
apartment. She would smile if she
knew the rent we pay."
Friends and Friends
"That is our affair," the mother
eliided gently. "Dear, with real friends,
what one pays for anything makes no
difference.
Grace raised her eyebrows skep
tically.
"You think not. mother," she said.
"Von have been too busy—as I have
—-to keep in touch with people this
Bummer. Besides that, every one who
Is anybody is out of town. But just
eee how our former associates net
when they learn that we are living in
what is called a 'walk-up' apartment
In an unfashionable side street."
Myra Webb flushed. "If my so
called friends are of that type," she
Insisted, "I do not care to have them
come here. Moreover," with a proud
lift of the head, "we live as well as
our present means allow. We are
not sailing under false colors."
"We are wearing last summer's
clothes." Grace reminded her, "and

| Hills everything is stunning and swell,
j 1 would be out of place there now."
"Will" —the matron began, hesi
tated, then forced herself to ask the
question that hovered on her lips—
"Will Dorothy s cousin, Mr. Court
ney, be there? He was expected
home from California this month,
was he not?"
Matchmaking
"Yes," Grace said briefly, "Dorothy
writes that he will be there."
"Well, we need not send your re
ply to the invitation at once," Myra
, said quickly. "The house party is
ten days oft yet."
She was not a matchmaker, yet
the fact that Dorothy's cousin was
j to be at Forest Hills for the Sunday
for which Grace was invited made
the mother more than ever anxious
; to have her girl accept this Invita-
I tion.
Max Courtney had shown Grace
| some attention last year. Early in
j the Spring, the firm by which he
was employed had sent him out to
! their San Francisco offices for sev
eral months. He was to return to
i New York this week.
: He was not rich, but was ambi
j tious and came of an excellent
! family. Grace had evidently liked
I him, and her silence about him and
1 about the letters she received from
! him during his sojourn on the Pa-
I ciflc slope convinced her mother
i that the girl cared more for this
man than for any other whom she
had met.
What a good thing it would be
; if Max Courtney, would marry her
I and thus make It unnecessary for
] her to teach for her living!
With this thought in mind, Myra
suggested that Grace go carefully
j over last summer's dresses and
1 make such alterations in theni as
} would bring them up to the pres
-1 ent mode. Neither mother nor daugh
' ter was a proficient needlewoman, so
; a seamstress was hired for a day or
two. and several dresses were altered
; so as not to look old-fashioned.
Inward Qualms
Pretty as the frocks were, however,
. Myra knew that in the stylish set in
which her daughter must wear them
they would probably be recognized as
of the vintage of last year. She did
not voice this conviction to Grace, but
she was sure thai her child shared it.
But surely such trifles made less
difference than Grace supposed. For
tunately, men did not attach impor
tance to such things as the latest
fashions in a girl's dress or her style
of living.
Yet Myra decided firmly at this
juncture that In the Autumn, before
the set to which she and her daugh
ter had belonged returned to town,
there would be a servant installed in
the small apartment. If this was to
1 be, she, Myra must get some work
to do. As writing was her only ac
complishment. she must try to com
pose her thoughts sufficiently to plan
some articles or stories which she
could sell to the editors of various
periodicals.
But she could not do anything in
; the literary line just now. The
weather was too hot for hard work;
moreover all the principal editors
were, she supposed, out of town.
But when the cool days came she
must try her luck. Of course she
would succeed. She did not allow
herself to consider the possibility of
failure.

Here is a good example. The plain '
bodice with dropped shoulders, the j
bell shaped sleeves and the gathered 1

it suggests an earlier period is by no means j
a reproduction. The yoke may be cut on a

the dress may be made high with a yoke j
and flaring collar and with sleeves gath- !
ered into cuffs, in bishop style. In the
picture, the material is one of the new I
embroidered cotton voiles with lace as
trimming, but this is a model that can be
used for the silk frock and for the cotton

This is not a guessing contest. We do not know who these babies are. It is for you to decide what names would be ap
propriate for children such as these. Naming the baby is a serious proposition. Sometimes an ill chosen name will make life
hard for the one to whom it is given. Other names are as helpful as others are harmful. The judges will be a committee of H
prominent Fourth Street Merchants, and they, not us, will decide how good your selection is. We use this method to direct

Scarcity of Boxcars 1
Forces Chalmers Factory
to Resort to Flat Cars
Traffic Manager Harry Moule, of the
Chalmers Motor Company, is a firm J
believer in the old adage of necessity j
being the mother of invention. Moule,
in conjunction with the traffic man- '
agers of a dozen other Detroit motor 1
car concerns, has been holding star
chamber sessions for a month past I
with the freight agents of railroads
entering Detroit in an endeavor to :
secure sufficient freight cars to ship j
Detroit's output of automobiles.
Realizing the futility of getting '
enough freight cars of the covered 1
variety, the Chalmers traffic man de
cided to corral as many of the fiat or '
gondola type of "freighters" as he
could secure. j
To insure the motor cars against ;
damage or theft while en route special j
sheds are constructed over the auto
mobiles on each flat car. Tarpaulings
are spread over the roof of the sheds
to make them waterproof. A staff of
150 carpenters has been employed dur
ing the past week at the Chalmers
plant for the purpose of building the
shelters on the flat cars.

Cadillac Head Makes
Trip Through Clouds
in Wright Biplane
President Henry M. Leland, of the
Cadillac Motor Car Company, recent
ly enjoyed his first flight in an aero
plane at Ormond Beach, Florida.
The machine, which was a Wright
biplane, piloted by Miss Ruth Daw,
reached an altitude of more than 1,-
800 feet.
In writing of his experiences to the
factory, Mr. Leland said:
"I was fearful before mounting the
plane that I might become dizzy and
sick, so my pilot promised to go gen
tly. After we started, it seemed to
me that we were near the ground and
going very slowly.
"When I found that there were no
unpleasant sensations, I kept motion
ing and calling for her to go faster
and to go up higher. At last she
yelled, 'You're up sixteen hundred
feet, and are going sixty miles an
hour. For heaven's sake, what do you
want? This isn't a Cadillac Eight."
