OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER 1,. (Copyright, 1916, Star Company) Myra Webb sat by the window in the livingroom, gazing out into Morn ingside Park. She had tried to work this afternoon, but somehow could not. In spite of her sleepless night, she had managed to steady her nerves enough to do some copying this morn ing. But all the time she had been forcing away from her thoughts the recollection of what Horace had told her last night. She had always imagined that if the time ever came when his affairs would he prosperous she would re joice. Now she could not make her self believe what he had-said. And yet her reason told her it was true. She had not eaten any luncheon. She had told Lizzie not to worry when the maid feared she was not well. "I am well," she said, "only a little weary." Then when she found that she could not concentrate her mind enough to work, she had coins off here into the livingroom and sat down in this big chair, and had let her thoughts wan der where they would. And over and over she found herself saying to her self that she was tired! As she repeated the words they seenjed to have a sinister significance. Dead tired—yes. tired enough to die! Perhaps reaction had brought about this state of feeling, she mused. At last she had time to be still and think. Time to think of all she had tried to do these past two years. What had she done, after all? She had accomplished a good deal, and yet now that she reviewed it it did not seem to be worth while. What was the use of it all? A dull gray existence stretched out before her, with not a thrill nor a heart-happiness in it. That Awful Word If Horace and Grace had understood it might all be different now. But they did not understand. If they only understood, if they would only tell her so, life might be full and rich. But they did not know that she was hungry for their approval. She, herself, had not known how hungry she was until now that she had time to stop and think. Was it only last evening that Horace had informed her that his business was saved, adding briefly, "After this things will be easier for us; I will go into further particulars when I have more time." That was alt. Not a word of her ( art in his fieht with adversity. Yet it had been for him and Grace that she had fought by his side. Had he ever cared that she was always there? Had it meant anything to him and his child? The door opened and Grace came in. Her mother tried to smile a greeting. "Well, daughter, dear," she said, "you are back from school, are you?" Grace laughed, and there was a TWO MORE NEWLY WEDS JOIN RANKS AT JIT, GRETNA Two more youthful new husbands i were added yesterday to Camp Brum baugh s quota of benedicts, when Har old Davis, private In the Radio Corps, and pretty Miss Grace Winter, both of Kail River, Mass.. and Corporal Edward Bechtel and Miss Lillian Stevenson, aoth of Philadelphia, were married at The Experienced Camper j&v || Never Forgets to Bring ' | KINGAN'S | "Reliable" Ham gfj js&2 Puiit- and Quality Sold By Leading $$ Guaranteed.

I would hardly be here if I were still at school, would I?" The mother flushed. "I beg your pardon." she murmured. "That was a foolish observation for me to make." "Oh, well, never mind!" the girl laughed again, this time more kindly. "Perhaps I spoke crossly, but the chil dren were especially trying to-day. I had to linger longer than usual to straighten out some fuss about classes, and now I have an errand to attend to downtown, and I must allow time to walk a part of the way back. "Henry insists that I ought to do this, for he is afraid I don't get enough exercise and fresh air. So I had to rush home to leave my books and pa pers, and now I must hurry right off again." "I see," Myra rejoined. "Get as much fresh air as you can, dear." Grace hesitated for a second and glanced at her mother's face. "You look as if some fresh air might do you good, too." she re marked. "Why don't you go out also?" "I'm too tired," Myra replied. Grace Is Unsympathetic "As you please," the girl said, lightly. "Good-by! I'll be back in time for dinner." She did not urge her parent to go out. That was not her way. Myra, remembering this now, wondered if she had spoiled her child and hus band. Then she dismissed the thought as disloyal. Wert they not both work ing as hard in their way as she was in hers? And was it not perfectly natural that just now Grace's thoughts should be of her own affairs and of the man she loved? Was not that al ways the way with youth and love? The afternoon drew to its close, and still Myra Webb sat still, thinking. She had not sat idle and silent like this in two years—perhaps never be fore since she was grown. But she did not appreciate this fact now. It was dusk when Grace returned. She had met her father outside the front door and they entered the living room together. Myra started to her feet. "I did not know it was so late!" she ex claimed, confusedly. "I must see if Liezie has dinner ready. It is five minutes past the hour now." Horace smiled as she left the room. Dinner was, as usual, good and well served. They had been at the table but a moment when Myra uttered a smothered exclamation. "Oh," she murmured, "I have on my morning gown still! I forgot to change my dress this afernoon!" "Never mind," Grace replied, "we had not even noticed." "No," Horace echoed, "we had not even noticed." (To Be Continued) Mt. Gretna.

"He | and the men in his set like to be seen * out with pretty girls and however much | they like a clever one, they won't invite her to any of their club dances unless she is a good-looker too." My feminine impulse was to feel in- j dignant at Jack and his low standard at just that juncture. And then I re-! membered a few simple biological facts. Nature meant the masculine half of creation to furnish the race with power and strength and the fighting qualities., And in her scheme of things the fenii- j nine was intended to stand for sweet- j ness and beauty and dependence and \ the home-making qualities. Modern society has made this clear j demarcation impossible. Woman goes! out into the world and fights, and so j inevitably cultivates powers and re- j sistances that approach the masculine. [ She needs them for modern social con-1 ditions.

There is a simpler way ! to meet the situation. It is by com | promise—and not an inglorious com | promise at all. The pretty girl cannot be clever un less she has the actual equipment of brain. But the clever girl ought to be ; clever enough to contrive a certain | amount of prettiness. ' Oh, yes she can! Unless a woman is handicapped by a squint or a hairlip, or a broken nose, or some definite phy sical deformity, she can manage to have a little of the beauty that is her | feminine heritage. Almost no woman need have a hide ous complexion if she regulates her diet and uses plenty of soap and water. I Xo woman need be fat and ungainly if she can look a potato or a chocolate | "sundae" in the face and deny it then and there. ! No woman need have dull and star ing eyes if she will regulate properly the light by which she reads, her out put of tears, her exercise, and a few I other precautionary measures. No woman need be a frump and dowdy if she brings a little thought to bear on i the purchase of her clothes, j Recently I attended a meeting at | which there were present some forty ! brilliant and successful women. Four |of them were pleasing to the eye. The | other thirty-six had reacted so strongly ' from the extravagances ot the present I style that with shiny noses, unkempt hair, hats perched high on unbecoming and hard pompadours or sliding back JUNE 30, 1916. off low and untidy chignons, they all managed to look like caricatures. Half of those women might easily have been pleasant to look upon if their respect for their mental makeup had not been so great that they had put down any attention to their physical selves as actual "makeup." The clever girl is too likely to react from the merely physical. She de spises the charms nature gave her and bewails the fact that those charms ap peal. Why not be honest with ourselves? We all love beauty, A wonderful sun set, a perfect flower, a beautiful child, a glorious painting, an exquisite song— all these things appeal to the senses, and none of us are ashamed to acknowl edge the appeal. The clever girl who ignores her phy sical assets shows a lack of mental bal ance. No man worth knowing is going actually to prefer a stupid little beauty to a clever, sane, attractive looking woman. Perhaps the pretty girls whom Mary despises are companion able and sympathetic, if not brilliant. Charm and beauty are always attain able in some degree—and they are worth striving for.
