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

FRIDAY EVENING,
ring of annoyance in the sound.
"Evidently I pm back, mother," she
said brusquely. "You always ask
that question. 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."

yesterday, was married. At yester

Tait, a paroled Missouri convict, who,
when about to be arrested by a Wis

bed in a locked room. Tait then took
a horse and fled into the woods.
He was married three weeks ago to
seventeen-year-old Margaret Law

"arrested" him, keeping his gun in a
side coat pocket, constantly trained on

Pretty Girl Has Keen Rival in
Person of Her Clever
Friend
"Jack Smith doesn't care what a
girl has in her head, provided she has |
a pretty face outside it," said my young
friend Mary to me petulantly. "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.

The pretty girl cannot be clever un

' Oh, yes she can! Unless a woman is
handicapped by a squint or a hairlip,

have a little of the beauty that is her

Almost no woman need have a hide

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

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.
