12 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" 1 C«»rrl|>t by literutloiil Notts Irnrle* "Really, Warren," said Helen, wear ily, "is It warmer than usual, or do I feel differently about the weather than Z have other years?" "Well, it's not half as hot as it was last year, you know." Warren remark ed from the armchair where he was reading the paper. "Remember that awful heat wave we had in Septem ber ?" "X should say I do." Helen answer ed, "but somehow I have minded the heat more than I ever have this year. I Just haven't the energy to move." "Tou should have stayed out at your mother's for a few days." "Would you have liked that?" Helen tasked. "Mother Just begged roe to. and I refused to stay even over night." "That was foolish of you," Warren remarked unsympathetically. "You know I would be all right: jou could have telegraphed me." "I wish I had stayed now." Helen •aaid quickly. "I thought you minded whether I was with you or not." "Oh, come on out for a walk, and •don't get on your high horse," said Warren, good naturedly. "If it weren't jfor the heat you wouldn't get such an idea in your head." "Let's go for a trollev ride," suggest ed Helen. "All right; we'll take the Broadwav •car and ride down, that will cool vou "off some." "Why don't you get the car out?" •queried Helen, in an afterthought. "Too hot to go over for it," remarked Warren, but he did not look directly at Helen, and was conscious in a mo ment that somthing was wrong. "Warren, that's the second time to night you have answered evasively when I have mentioned the car. Is anything wrong?" "Of course not, what's the next thing you are going to get into that head of yours?" Helen said nothing more, but she thought a great deal. She wondered if Warren could have had an accident of some kind with the car and did not •want to tell her about it. However, fhe determined to put the entire thing out of her mind. She was misjudging Warren often enough as it was, and she knew that her imagination needed ' only the slightest food for thought in order to have it run wild. A Suggestion "I wish someone were in town thai we could ask to go with us." Helen eaid, as they strolled slowly toward the corner. "Let's go tip and get the Billy I Browns." Warren suggested. "They I have a car, they might ask us to go with them." "All right." consented Helen, and instead of going down town as they i had intended, they took the uptown, car and rode up a few blocks. The 1 ride was cool and Helen went into the big apartment house on the heights, hoping that the Browns would be in. They were such fun to go anywhere with, and of late. Helen and Warren had not been seeing so much of their! friends as they had earlier in the Spring. Trina. Mrs Brown's little Norwe- 1 fcian maid, answered Helen's ring. i "No. Mrs. Curtis," she said prettily, I Mrs. Brown is not in. she has gone up ; to the Holmes'. Yes. she and Mr 1 Brown went there for dinner." Helen thanked the girl, and turned j IT'S THE WIVES By DOROTHY TWX I Ever since the Garden of Eden Scandal, when our First Father pot involved in the pippin incident and wriggled out of it by laving; it on » woman, men have walked in Adam's footsteps and put the blame of all their shortcomings on women's shoul 3ers. There is, however, one sin of ivhich most husbands are guilty now and then, if not habitually, that they have a right to lay at their wives' doors. This is the sin of lying. Decent men. as a rule, abhor ly ing. They seldom lie to each other. But they almost invariably lie to women, and the reason of this is' because the average woman Is so constituted that she cannot stand the truth. She prefers that a man lie to her even when she knows that he is lying. Especially it is wives who make Ananiases of their husbands. The man, if he followed his own in clinations. would far rather be Truthful James. The Man's Preference It degrades him in his own sight, and makes him feel like a sneak thief when he has to tell his wife tarra diddles, but it's the fairy storv or a fight with her, so he follows the line of least resistance and qualifies as a fiction monger. For well he knows the things that his Maria would say were she pre sented with a bald statement of tacts. What man, for instance, would Bare to tell his wife the truth about having lost money in a poker game, or having dropped it in a little flier that he took on Wall Unbeatable Exterminator or Rats, Mice and Bugs Used the World Oven - Used by U.S.Government The Old Reliable That Never falls • ISc.2sc.At Druoaist A THE RECOGNIZED STANDARD-AVOID SUBSTITUTES Absolutely No Pain f My latest Improved uppll * ißflHk Ri sncea.

TUESDAY EVENING, to go downstairs again. "Shall we go up to the Holmes".'" she asked as they were waiting for the elevator. "I don't think so." said Warren stooping to tie his shoe lace. Helen fancied that he did this thing In order to avoid her eyes. She wondered why Warren should object to go up to the , Holmes'. , "It might be a dinner party or 'something, you can't tell," Warren said in defense. "Well," persisted Helen, "I feel Just like seeing some one to-night, try to think of some one else we might take with us." As they emerged into the street j again, a car drove up to the door and ; Helen recognized the Browns instantly. Mr. and Mrs. Holmes were sitting in the tonneau. and Mr. Holmes hailed, them Instantly. "Well, well," said Billy Brown, «ret-. ting out and shaking hands with Hel i en. "Where did you people come from? Hop in. we're going to take a little spin down to the island." "How nice." Helen ejaculated. "We came over to ask to go trolley riding with us. it's so much nicer to have some one with us than to go out in the car alone." "You bet It is." said Mr. Holmes Jovially, making room for Helen in the back seat while Warren unfas tened one o fthe sldeseats for himself. "Besides, your own i-ar must be pretty well banged up and out of commission. I don't suppose you have been able to have !t fixed yet." Helen looked blankly at Mr. Holmes, and then at Warren "What happened?" she questioned. "Evidently something 1 don't know about." Mr. Holmes reddened. A Fine Situation "Oh. Phil," said his wife, despair- | ingly, "why can't you keep still." "But 1 don't see why he should," 1 Helen persisted. "If anything has happened, I don't see why I am not entitled to know." "Of course you can know," said Warren, interrupting the conversation. "I didn't tell you because there was no need of worrying you." Helen smiled sarcastically, the same timeworn plea. "It wouldn't worry me." she said coldly. "It might be better for you to tell me things. Warren, than to have them come through other peo ple." "I feel as if It were all my fault," put in Mr. Holmes. "Not at all." Helen returned. "Mr. Curtis should have told me there was an accident. I though it was strange that you didn't want to get the car out to-night, Warren. What hap pened ?" "Why, going down Broadway the other night a taxi came out of a side street and hit me. Didn't do much damage, smashed the hub of the wheel pretty br.dly, and I had to order, a new mud guard." "What night was that?" Helen asked trying to still the tumult in her heart. "Last Wednesday. The car will he back Saturday, and I thought I would not tell you until it was all over." Helen did not answer. She was wondering who was with Warren the night of the accident. Wednesday was the night she had spent on the sleeper coming back from Cleveland. 'Street, when she had warned him against speculation'.' What man would have the nerve to tell his wife the truth about why he didn't come home to dinner, and say that it was because he had had a nerve racking day in busi ness. and felt that he would go raving mad if he had the children's noise at home added to it? What man would be brave enough to tell his wife that when she went off for a summer vacation alone it was a real vacation for him, be cause it let him get out of the monotonous round of too much domesticity? Glib Romances Not one. On the contrary. Friend Husband glibly romances along about out of town customers, or important cases, or extra work, and wife accepts the ancient and moss grown falsehood peacefully and calmly, and thus not only puts a premium on lying, but actually in veigles her husband into deceiving her. I If men deceive their wives, It is i generally the wife's fault, because i the average woman makes it im possible for any husband who isn't an Iron Cross hero to tell her the [truth. A man who. when he takes a : drink, tells his wife instead of eat ing cloves to hide it, or who dares admit at home that he deliberately asked a woman friend to lunch in . stead of prevaricating about how he accidentally ran across her in a I restaurant, can furnish a certificate of domestic felicity strong enough to draw money on at the bank. It's mostly the wives wno nom inate their husbands for member iship in the Ananias Club.

B.—Seven Pennsylvania second lieutenants, pre paring for the examination for com missions in the regular army have been assigned to regular army posi tions, in which it is believed they may learn much to make them ready for the test for regular service for Uncle Sam. The Pennsylvania lieutenants, aspir ants for commissions in the regular army are: William Findley Brown, Jr., Second Regiment, assigned to the Eighth United States Cavalry; Fred erick T. Holzbauer, Second Regiment, to the Fifth United States Field Artil lery; James H. Dailey, Fourth Regi ment, to Norman P. Groff, First Regi ment, and Paul E. Ziegler, Eighth Regiment, to the Twelfth United States Infantry; Andries A. Dubois, Eighteenth, and Charles M. Parkin, Eighteenth, to the Seventh United States Infantry. Much disappointment was expressed by officers who also have aspired for regular army appointments, but who did not come under the condition that Second Lieutenants only should aspire for transfers to the regular service.

Warren, Republican National Commit teeman for Michigan, analyzing poli tical conditions in an Interview, pre dicted that llughes would have 317 of the 531 electoral votes. The number necessary for a choice is 266. In his review of the situation Mr. Warren said that the Republican party was united and that the bulk of the Pro gressive vote would be cast for Hughes, "In 27 States, which gave Wilson 283 electoral votes in 1912, the com bined Taft and Roosevelt votes in that year exceeded the vote cast for Wil son." said Mr. Warren. "In 15 of these States Roosevelt's vote was greater than that of Taft. and in 12 Taft's was larger than Roosevelt's. Had the combined Roosevelt and Taft votes been cast for one candidate that candidate would have received 279 electoral votes to Wilson's 152, the 152 coming almost entirely from the solid South. Wilson's total vote In 1912 was 6,283,054. while the combined Taft-Roosevelt vote was 7,604,518, a difference of 1,311,064 in favor of the Republican-Progressive candidates. Where Party Split Won for Democrats "The vote of the 2 7 States which went to Wilson only by Republican division follows: State. Taft &T. R. Wilson. California 287,254 283,436 Colorado 1 30,692 11 4,422 Connecticut 102,453 7 4,561 Delaware 24,88 4 22,631 Idaho 58,337 33,921 Illinois 640,091 4.15.048 Indiana 313,274 281,890 lowa 287,624 185,325 Kansas 194,967 143,670 Maine 75,038 51,113 Maryland 112,742 112,674 Massachusetts ... 298,17fi 173,408.

Mr. Warren continued, "that the union of the Taft-Roosevelt forces of 1912 would make Connecticut Republican by 28,000, Illinois by 200,000, Indiana by 35,000, lowa by 120,000, Kansas by 50,000, Massachusetts by 1 20,000, New Jersey by 50,000, New York by 190,000 and Ohio by 100,000. A 1911 Exhibit "It Ist interesting to note the re suits from 10 States in which Republi cans were not successful in the 1914 election these being representative States in different sections of the country. In the total votes cast in these the Democrats won by a plural ity of less than 200,000. In 1912 the Democratic plurality in these same States was more than 1,000,000. A very small percentage Republican gain would have put three of these States into the Republican column, as an in crease of a little more than 5000 Re publican votes would have carried Ne braska, Colorado and Maine with their 20 votes in the Electoral College. "Every election, special or other wise, since 1912 }~as shown a steady drift toward the Republican party," declared Mr. Warren. "In the sena torial and congressional elections of two years ago the Republicans carried 2 3 States, which would give them a clear majority of 22 electoral votes. This did not include 10 States for which the Republicans are fighting this year—California, Montana, Ne vada, Arizona, Nebraska, South Da kota, Oregon, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana. The total electoral vote in these 10 States is 87. The Republi cans are pretty sure to carry practi cally all of these Stated, but if you add only a third of this vote to the 288 from States carried in 1914 it makes the electoral vote for Mr. Hughes In the neighborhood of 817, although I think It will go higher."
