WOMEN'S
I "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" I
CtfinUM k74at«MUaMl Kami !■
The perfect day had, to express it in
Helen's words, gone to her head. She
had never seemed qutte so happy. Ever
since she had sprung out of bed, bits
of songs had found their way to her
lips and she sang while she dressed
Warren had remarked caustically that
■ e couldn't see what made her so hap
py. but Helen, undaunted, laughed
merrily and said:
"I thought you liked to hear me
sing around the ho*ise. Don't you
feel happy on a day like this?
"You ought to be a man and have
a man's worries," Warren vouch
safed.
"Tell me about your worries and I'll
comfort you," offered Helen.
"Ho," sneered Warren, "a woman
understanding business worries.
That's funny."
Helen stopped singing, which fact
brought forth another remark from
AVarren. "Don't, for heaven's sake,
take everything 1 say to heart. of
course I like to hear y>ou sing. I'm
glad you're happy."
The strange feeling of happiness
continued through the morning and
while she dressed for a luncheon that
l.ouise was giving. In a mood like
this one Helen was almost reckless.
She could not taJce her happiness in
snatches like the more temperamental
lonian; her life was more evenly
placed and far too contented. Moods
seldom bothered her. for she was too
busy just being a home maker.
Helen dressed carefully, and by the
time she was ready to leave the apart
ment she was ravenously hungry. Out
side everything was beautiful, and she
walked over to Louise's apartment,
still humming. If Helen had known
anything about the vagaries of life
she would have realized that one's
feelings were apt to run to extremes.
Heights of happiness are often suc
ceeded by depths of misery, the de
gree determined by the character of
the individual, and the power to suffer
or be happy. Helen was not capable
of blinding happiness as perhaps was
Frances Knowles. but she was simply
light-hearted and glad of being alive
without stopping to reason why.
At the door of Louise's apartment
an appetizing smell of fried chicken
assailed her nostrils, and she sniffed
hungrily as Louise hurried out to meet
her.
One Objectionable Person
"Hungry, dear? That's good: we'll
go in directly, just waiting for one
more. Come in here and take your
things off. I think you'll have an
awfully good time. There are just
people you like here, with one ex
ception." and Louise made a grim
ace.
"Who is that?" said Helen uncon
cernedly. running a comb through
her hair before the Ivory dressing
table.
"Mrs. Davenport."
"Louise, no," said Helen, incredu
ousl.v.
"Yes: I knew you'd hate it."
"That woman follows me like an
avenging Nemesis." said Helen, still
laughingly; "but do tell me how you
happened to invite her."
"Well, Bob Insisted: he said that for
business reasons he would like me to
be nice to Mrs. Davenport."
"She will keep us all entertained
with the doings of Charleston so
ciety," said Helen.
"I know it; she never seems to re
alize that her conversation is boring."
And I,ouise laughed. "Never mind,

Stevens and Mrs. Dennis. You like

"It wouldn't make any difference,

humor* to-day.
"You look it. There's the hell: It
; must be Mrs. Davenport. Go rifrht
in when you're ready, dear, and I'll
take her into the guest room."
Helen finished prinking and went
out into the living room, where she
was greeted cheerfully by every one.
As Louise had said, all the people
present were women Helen and Louise
knew and liked. They were inti
mate with some of the same people,
and tn any case Helen liked all of
Louise's friends.
"This was natural because Helen
had liked Louise from the first mo
ment they had met, and she had
| helped her to a better understanding
I Boby's character. Helen had nev
er seen any man change as Bob had
done since marriage. Where she had
expected majiy of Warren's traits to
. < rop out in his character Bob had
: pleasantly disappointed her, and un
-1 iler Louise's Influence had developed
into u man of character. Temper he
' had, but he never vented it unfairly on
I Louise, who adored him.
Louise entered a few minutes later
with Mrs. Davenport, who immedi
ately crossed over to Helen.
Mrs. Davenport Annoyed
"How are you. my dear Mrs. Cur
tis. it seems so long since I have seen
i you."
"N'ot so long." said Helen, sweetly,
"shall we g O in? Louise is ready, and
[ am simply starving."
Helen's manner of answering the
haughty Southern lady did not de
ceive her in the least, and no
ticed a peculiar tightening of Mrs.
! Davenport's lips, a habit rather com-
I mon to Iter when she was annoyed.
1 They all went into the charming
dining room, where the table was
'spread with lace and china and tight
. Ed with candles.
"Even the china looks good
i enough to eat. doesn't It?" said
pretty Mrs. Dennis, who sat at Helen's
left.
Helen laughingly acquiesced, and a
second later they were all talking and
laughing over the first course.
"I understand your husband is
thinking of selling his car, Mrs. Cur
tis." said Mrs. Davenport during a
lull in the conversation.
Helen looked up in surprise. "No,
indeed, I think you must have been
misinformed."
"1 don't think so; in fact, my hus
band was thinking of going up to look
it over to-morrow," said Mrs. Daven
port. touching her napkin to her
mouth daintily.
Helen hardly knew how to reply.
She forgot everything, all the happy
thoughts that she had had that
morning. Could it be possible that
Warren would put the car hi the mar
ket without her knowledge? Surely he
could not humiliate her so deeply. She
would not believe it. And then she
woke up to the fact that Mrs. Dav
enport was speaking.
"I hope I have not betrayed any
secret."
Helen rallied bravely. "N'ot at all."
( she rejoined. "Mr. Curtis has been
thinking of selling the car for some
time back, but I believe that he has
changed his mind about It now."
"Indeed," said Mrs. Davenport,
"well, we'll wait and see."

A WAR OF WITS
Plot by Gaorqa Bronion Howard.

(fMtlautd from Yesterday.)
Yellow Springs Is a curious, anoma
lous sort of place. There is a village
of that name. A few bmall houses, a
store or so, a post-office—and the
railway station. These make up the
village. They are in a valley ringed
about the mountains. And then, two
miles away, is the real Yellow Springs
—a vast hotel. A group of hotels,
really, since one buildlnp long since
ceased to be enough to accommodate
the visiting crowds. The history of the
resort Is written plainly In the hotel
buildings.
There are groves of trees, wide lawns,
formal gardens in the Dutch and
Italian styles, statues, summer housrb,
terraces—everything to delight the
eye. The bubbling sulphur springs,
the geysers of hot mud, all the medi
cinal waters that the earth yields for
the alleviation of human suffering
and pain, are rendered unobtrusive.
Beautiful spring houses, exquisite bath
pavilions, are harmonized with the
general design.
And to this place, every year, flock
thousands of those who are 111, or who
like to believe that they need the
waters and the baths. Many come
' who really are ill, many more who
need only a rest and a change of
scene. Wonderful automobile roads
; have been laid out; there are golf
; links, tennis courts, paths through the
I woods for those who like to ride,
| facilities for every bort of game. There
:is a casino, too, where the play often
runs high. Restraints are few; the
i local government of county and village
jls far too wise to Impose strict rules
upon the rich people who come to
| Vellow Springs to spend their eionev.
It was here that Mary. Interestingly

Mona. In her character as Mary's
.maid, wasted no '.ime after their ar
rival. They reached the Springs late
'ln the afternoon; before bed time
Mona was familiar with Mrs. "Mc-
Lean's routine. It had not proved dif
ficult to gather the facts she had
wanted to learn.
"The whole place talks about her,"
«he told Mary, when they were in their
rooms. "She's here with a maid, and
she's taking medical treatment from
* Dr. Brown—a nice looking young
fellow. She spends the whole morning
5n the terrace every 'day, sunning her
self, and for the ;<*sl day or two she's
jeen quarreling with the doctor be
cause she doesn't get well more quick
ly. She Is always complaining of the
expense, and saying she'll have to go
lo live in ojie of her own tenements,
•o economize, when she goes home I
bet she will, too—she's done that be
'ore!"
"What's the maid look like?"

the Doctor.
| 'She's just ordinary—and she's not
| one of Letty's regular servants. She
I was pick*d up for this trip, and I
think she's pretty tired of her Job.
She talks a good deal about Letty's
meanness. 1 think she's been used to
living with rich people, and that Let
ty's rather a shock to her!"
"I can quite believe it:" said Mary.
'She'd be a shock to almost anvotie
who was used to dealing- with human
beings, you know; Well—you'll bun
dle me up carefully tomorrow morn
ing. and find a nice long chair for me
<s near to Letty's as you can manage!
Then we'll see what we'll see.''
There wasn't BO much for them to
see, as a matter of fact it was -what
they heard that was interesting, as it
turned out. What they saw was a
woman well over sixty, dressed in
faded black, with a shabby shawl
about her thin shoulders and a bon
net, long out of style, perched upon
her thin grey hair. This was the
formidable Letty McLean, who was
supposed to be the richest woman in
the world and was certainly the mean
' St. Her maid brought her out to her
accustomed chair, where the sun was
strongest, and in a few moments her
doctor bustled up—a young man. en
ergetic and forceful. At once Lettv
hroke out into a 3harp tirade against
him.
! "You robber!" she cried, in a high,
nervous voice. "Just because I'm
■ supposed to have a little money you
think I'll submit to extortion! You're
like all the rest of the thieving crew!
I I won't pay your bill—no wonder you
i sent it to me, and were afraid to pre
sent it yourself! It's extortion!"
"I'm sorry you think so," said the
doctor, a little angry, but amused, too,
it v.-as plain. "I ve simply made my
usual charge, Mrs. McLean. You must
remember that you've claimed my un
divided attention since you've been
here."
"Yes—and a lot of good you've done
me, too!" she said, shrilly. "I'm no
better than I was when I came down
here! It's all a conspiracy to part me
from my hard earned money!"
Mona and Mary exchanged meaning
Slances. And suddenly they saw that
they were not the only interested audi
tors of this dispute. A distinguished
looking, bearded man of the profes
sional type, who stood below the ter
race, was listening, too. He smiled,
as if it were an excellent joke. The
two girls looked at him, and at one
another.
"I've Keen him somewhere!" aaid
Mary.
"So have I!" said Mona, "but 1
can't place him! I wonder—V
"I think I know how to And out,"
said Mary. "Take me In—l'm going
to write some letters."
It was three days before the answers
to the Inquiries that Mary had made
came. Oti second thought, she had
telegraphed instead of writing—and
had used a sort of code, to defy possi
ble curiosity concerning herself. Mean
while things had not been at a stand
still so far as Mrs. McLean was con
cerned. She had heaped more re
proaches upon Dr. Brown, and he had
finally been angered to auoh a point
that he threw up her cave and refused
to treat her.

We prefer to offer yott
Kayser silk gloves, because—
they give a service that you cannot find in other silk gloves, the

"Kayser gloves are made of pure silk, not weighted, and so they
keep their shape and wear. Of course, you know about the double
finger-tips—the original Kayser idea. They are guaranteed."
So many millions of women prefer them that more Kayser Silk
Gloves are sold than all other silk gloves combined, and this is why
they are to be found in the high class stores throughout the world.
Kayser Silk Gloves cost no more than the ordinary kind; whether two
