OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
|| "THEIR MARRIED LIFE"|
CatrrlfU kf Mtnaatial *"»» »•**!••
Helen was sick with dealing with
t-he soul oroblems of other people.
She longed for peace and the mono
tonous grind of everyday life. Any
thing domestic pleased her. It seem
ed thrilling to sit at home by the hour
and sew or just read and be lazy. She
and Warren had never seemed so con
genial, and her former psychological
longings were forgotten—swamped, in
fact—by the near tragedy of Laura
Richard.
Helen wondered after It was all
over how she had managed to use
so much tact and foresight In help-
In* Laura to manage. Warren's opin
ion was nil, of course, but secretly he
was proud and amused at Helen's
diplomacy and the way it worked out.
"I'm surprised." he had snorted,
"that Laura had sense enough to fol
low your advice; she is such a fool
about most things."
"What makes you think she is such
a fool?" questioned Helen, her pride
at the veiled compliment hardly no
ticed in her sudden loyalty to Laura.
"Why, I can't do much for a wo
man of Laura's disposition. I al
ways told you that she didn't have
any sand."
"But, Warren, I don't agree with
you. If she hadn't really had plenty
of character she would never have
carried the thing through as I ad
vised her to do."
"She simply did it because you
have the stronger character and domi
nated her through the entire affair."
"I don't agree with you, dear."
"Well, I still maintain that men
cau't as a rule do anything for wo
men of that caliber."
"But Laura is considered to be
stunning. And she dresses extraor
dinarily well."
"Yes, but any woman with an
ounce of vanity and tha wherewithal
to buy good clothes can manage to
dress well."
"Well, what Is your argument.
Warren? I'm trying to understand
what you mean amout Laura."
"It's not alone about Laura, it's
about any woman of that type."
"Of what type?"
"Of the whinning, melancholy
type."
Warren Is Pessimistic
"But Laura doesn't whine and
she isn't melancholy excepting when
t-he is unhappy. No woman can be
cheerful when her husband deserts
her for another woman."
"That isn't the question. Nothing
would make Laura a happy woman.
She just naturally mopes. Why, you
remember when she was working in
Itichard's office and you used to have
her here so much? Every time I came
in for dinner and saw her I thought I
was attending a large-sized funeral."
"But you were always nice to her,
dear, and I did feel so sorry for
her."
"Yes. but what I am trying to get
st is this. There are plenty of wo
men in the world a great deal worse
off than Laura was at that time. She
was earning {2O a week, a livable
'■wage, if not an abundant one; but she
fav nothing to be thankful for. Think
of the girls who earn $lO and man
age to scrape along and be cheerful
•about it, too!"
"I know, dear, but I don't see that

TUESDAY EVENING,
couldn't be just as sorry for Laura.
I wnow that I should have been mis
erable living in a 2 by 4 cupboard
and having no friends."
"You wouldn't be miserable, be
cause It isn't your way. Any woman
can make friends."
"You don't understand." protested
Helen. "You don't like Laura and you
won't be fair to her."
"I em speaking from a man's
standpoint, that't all. I know that
those temperamental women are dec
orative enough and mysterious enough
for a man when he wants to kick over
the traces, but when he wants to settle
down he wants a woman of the de
pendable type, who will sing a tune
around the house and darn his socks
rather than write a poem to Adver
sity."
Helen laughed merrily.
"Oh. Warren, you are so funny.
Laura couldn't write a poem if she
tried."
"No. but she likes to moon and look
mysterious and wear strang-looking
house gowns."
"I think they're attractive. Besides,
there are plenty of women in the
world who are temperamental who
have a million men cra*v about them.
They are the women who keep their
husbands lovers."
"For Heaven's sake, don't tell me
that you have a secret longing for
anything of the kind."
Some Valuable Advice
Helen did not reply. She was
thinking of how often she had wished
for Frances Knowles' strange charm
or for the ability to be something be
sides being domestic. And here was
Warren defending the domestic wo
man and frankly making fun of the
other type.
"And I want to tell you one thing."
he said, looking up from his news
paper suddenly. "You've been a darn
ed sight happier lately than you have
in a long time. I don't know what
has caused the change, but I have
noticed it. and you want to keep it
up. It's great stuff."
"I didn't know that I had been
any different."
"Well, you have. I have thought
several times that you were discon
tented and leaned more toward the
uneven life that Frances and the
Bells live. That's all right for them,
not not for us. I can imagine that
Frances Knowles would lead a man
a merry chase if he happened to
marry her."
Mary put her head in at the door
at this moment and asked if Helen
would come out and show her how
to make that new dessert. Helen
rose enthusiastically and followed
Marv out into thp kitchen and was
soon engrossed in the fascina'tng
problem of whipping cream and
chopping iigs for a new pudding
that she had heard of. Warren fol
lowed her out after a few minutes, a
thing he rarely if ever did, and stood
and watched her.
"You like to take a hand once in
a while, don't you?" he said. "She's
pretty fine, isn't she, Mary? Sup
pose we take in a show to-night.
Helen. I feel just like It." And
Helen's nimble Angers flew even faster
as she flushed with pleasure and
thought how happy she was.

8993 (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Aliowance) Girl's Dress,
8 to 12 years.
Fullness that is held by smocking it
exceedingly smart just now, and it it
very pretty used for girl's dresses. This
one is made of natural colored pongee
with trimming of pongee in red, and
the smocking matches the trimming in
color. It is a very' useful frock as well
as a smart and a fashionable one. for
pongee is a durable material and washes
successfully, but the model could, of
course, be utilized for the cotton and
linen materials with equal success. Tha
box plaits that outline the front edges
and the box plaits at the back give ex
ceedingly becoming lines and the novel
arrangement of the belt is interesting.
For the to year size will be needed. 5*4
yards of material 27 inches wide, 4 yards
36 or 2yards 44. with yard 3b inches
wide for the trimming.

A SUGGESTION FOR
SUMMER VACATIONS
"Along New England Roads," by
William C. Prime, is published this
week by the Harpers. This book of
leisurely travel in New Hampshire and
Vermont has been reprinted to
' meet the demand for a work that has
never failed to charm. The writer
' who traveled extensively in foreign
| lands, states his belief that there is
no country which better repays the
: traveler than that lying near the
J White and Green mountains. His style
| is like the manner of his travel by car
! riage: he every now and then to
i descend, to pick a flower, to talk to a
laborer or country pastor, to watch
| boys fishing, to tell stories of rural
j life or to praise the beauties of New
| England scenery.

He laughed delightedly and fell Into
step beside her. Here was something
n®w, he thought— A real chorus girl
who wasn't hungry all the time.
At a boarding house she atopped.
'I live here," said Mona. "Thanks
lor seeing me home!"
"Can't I come In?"
"Oh. no!" she said, pretending to be
shocked. "Xot—tonluhM"
He laughed, well satisfied, as she
hurried in. He did not know that she
only waited in the vestibule until he
was out of sight.
For several nights Mont let Holbrook
walk "home" with her, but she de
cltned all invitations, and she would
never yield to his requests to permit
him to enter the hiuse when she did.
As she had been certain would be the
case, the difficulty he was experiencing
proved simply an added attraction.
" hen he found she would not drop
into his hand, like a ripe apple, he re
doubled his efforts to win her.
"Oh, he's getting very enthusiastic!"
Mona told Mary. "How about your
plan? Have you really got one?"
"I certainly have!" said Mary. "Look
here! I've been making a few little
purchases."
And she took Mona into their spare
room whero several packing boxes had
been placed. Mona cried out In enthu
siastic approval at what they revealed.
A roulette wheel—all the other para
phernalia of gambling.
"We can turn this apartment Into a
perfect model of a gambling house at
an hour's notice," said Mary. "I think
that is going to be the proper way to
hook your little friend."
"Well—he's awfully careful—he
doesn't care for gambling himself,"
said Mona. "He's told me eo."
"You like it, though, don't you?"
"Ah—l see! Yes—l'm craay about It!
Mary—l believe you're a genius!"
"Don't be too sure—there's a wise
proverb about not counting your chick
ens before they're hatched, my dear!
I haven't worked out the details at
all yet—l thought we'd better act. in a
case like this, on the spur of the mo
ment."
"I think so too. Well—there are a
few things we can decide. Suppose you
turn up at Curate's on New Year's Evel
I think he may persuade me to have
supper there with him that night!"
And. to his delight, Mona did yield
to Holbrook's pleading to that extent.
She had foreseen that he would make
a special point of <t on that night, the
greatest occasion of the whole vear for
those who flock, like moths, about the
white lights of the theatrical district.
"Well—just for this once!" she con
ceded at last.
"You're a queer kid!" he said. "Some
times I think you're wise—and then
again I'm not sure I'm not all wrong
ab«ut you!".
"I'm" wise enough, Charley boy." she
told him, meaningly. "Maybe I ought
to want a lot more than I've got, but
I aeem to get along."
"Well, I'm thankful for small favora,"
ne said.
So the beginning of the riotous cele
bration found them at a table in
Curate's, and It was not long before
Mary, stunningly dressed, passed their
table.
"Hello, Betty!" she said, using Mona'a
assumed name. "I haven't seen you In
an age!"
"My fried. Mr. Holbrook, Miss Dean,*
said Mona. "Aren't going, are you?"
"This is getting slow!" said Mary.
"I'm oft for some real fun! Little
Monte Carlo for mine!"
A spasm of envy distorted Mona'a
features.
"I wish I could go, too!" she said.
"Gee! I don't know how long it is
since I had money enongh to watch
the little ball rolling with some of my
money backing It!"
"Come on —-be a sport," aald Mary.
"Bring your friend along."
"No use—l can't afford It,*' said Mona.
"Sure you can," said Holbrook. "I'll
etake you!"
"That's the way to talk!" said Mary.
"There you are, Betty! You've got a
live one In tow tonight!"'
Holbrook hung eagerly on her an-
swer. He wan sure that now, by a
lucky chance, he had come upon Mona's
weakness.
"Well —I don't know!" said Mona,
doubtfully, but making it seem that
she was greatly tempted
"We'll be along," said Holbrook. "You
look for us in about ar. hour, Miss
Dean! I'll guarantee to persuade her!*'
"All right—l'll leave her to you," said
Mary.
And at last, though reluctantly,
Mona consented.
"I'll go and look on," she said. "But
I'm not going to let you stake me! I
wouldn't be under obligations to you
or any other man!"
"Oh, don't talk foolishness!" said he.
"I'd be tickled to death to give you a
chance to have some fun! Tou know
I'm willing to do anything I can for
you at any time you give the word!"
When the hour was up she led him
to the apartment she shared with Mary
—which had been transformed Into
"Little Monte Carlo."

DIXIE GOES AHEAD

The Hopewell police have to deal with
some of the most skilled and desper
ate criminals in America.
The new Hopewell police force is
to contain fifty men, and these are
being picked for proved ability and
not according to favoritism. The
thumb print and Eertillon systems of
identification in addition to a rogue's
gallery, are being installed. The
position of chief of police is the only
one within the appointive power of
the administrative hoard, and there
are a number of candidates for the
place.

Careless Use of
Soap Spoils the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your lialr look
ing Its best. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the lialr and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair line and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulslfied cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
; ber of the family for months.

a dozen churches, and evangelistic
services, heavily attended, are held
almost every night. All of these
churches were erected on short notice,
but mose remarkable is the story of
the Catholic church erected by
Father O'flare. This worthy priest
arrived at Hopewell during the roar
ing boom days, with a determination
to establish a church and very little
else. He got an option on a dozen
lots, and was soon able to sell a few
of them for enough to pay for all. He
then leased the rest of them for a
term of years, built a $25,000 church,
and still enjoys an income of S6OO a
month from his property. Talk about
the early Jesuits in the far West!
They may have had as much courage
as Father O'Hare, but they certainly
did not have a tithe o£ his acumen.
It is a curious fact that when
Hopewell burned .the Haines spared
a couple of hospitals and a church,
going around them as though guided
by an unseen power. There was im
mediate use for the hospitals. Pneu
monia ravaged the homeless people,
and there were no adequate facilities
to care for them. With the exception
of that one diseaster, however, Hope
well's record in the matter of health
has been miraculous. One would ex
pect all sorts of dire results from the
lack of proper sanitary facilities; yet
there were only two deaths from
natural causes before the great fire.
An undertaker can scarcely make
a living in Hopewell, so young and
healthy Is Its population; but it lias
nevertheless proved a good place for
the few doctors who came here. A
couple of M. D.'s just out of college
heard about the place, and determined
to abridge the long wait which
