14 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN 1 ■ 1 ■ "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" CapjrrtzM kr lalcraattonal lVcwa Servte* The houseparty was becoming a huge success by the time Saturday night had arrived. At dinner Helen had been placed next to Ned Burns, Warren had been put opposite her, be tween Frances and Lola Wilcox. Dan Benedict was <fn the other side of Miss Wilcox and she kept her witti cisms rolling between the two men Impartially. Helen had gone to her room early to dress. She was feverish to be ready before Warren should return. She did not want any words with him while she was at Babbie's. Somehow •he had an intuitive desire to avoid Warren as much as possible after her discovery. Evidently in the moral code of •uch women as Lola Wilcox a man's wife played a very small role, hardly more than that of a super. It was horrible. Helen had heard vaguely of such things as emotional friendships be tween a man and a woman. They had seemed abnormal to her. and the thought of Warren's drifting Into such an affair made her almost frantic. She wondered what she would do if the time ever came when she could say to herself that there was no need of patching things up, and she would have to tell Warren that she could not bear It any longer. She thought of all these things while she was dressing for dinner. The little gown that she had bought was a queer little thing. It was a left over model from the summer sea- Bon that Helen had secured for very' little. At first glance she had thought It entirely unsuitable, and then a queer freak of fancy had impelled her to buy it. It was really the type of brown that a woman like Lola Wilcox would choose queer and almost barbaric, of black lace with touches of flaming scarlet. The neck was cut out very low in front, although the gown was an afternoon model, and had a roiling collar of scarlet, the eleeves were of black lace with soft white rolling cuffs of scarlet, and there were touches of red gleaming through the lace all over ine dress. Helen had bought black slippers i with red heels, and when she was; finally ready and turned to look at j herself in the mirror, she felt like a lamb decked out for the slaughter. What was she doing? She was! dressed for battle with another woman. As Frances would put it, 6he was about to make the first move in her campaign. Well, it j would be a thorough battle, and then let the laurels be given to the; one who came out first. She leaves Warren As Helen opened her bedroom door she heard Warren's laugh on the stairs. If she stayed where she ■was she would surely meet him. What should she do? She would hide In the little clothes closet at the head of the stairs, and a moment later she had sltpped Into its friend ly darkness. Warren came up and went into the room, and then Helen came out of her hiding' place, pulled a bow into place, and with flaming cheeks descended Into the living room. Babbie was there, and Fran ces and nearly all of the men. Lola Wilcox was absent. Xo doubt she had gone up to dress. Helen's ap pearance created quite a furore. Ned eprang up and came over to her. "Well. Helen of Troy," he said MRS. FILWK GREEGOR BI'RIED Mechanlcsburg, Pa., Sept. 20. Fu neral services were held this morning for Mrs. Frank Greeg-or, in the Luth eran Church, Churehtown,* and burial was made in the Mt. Zion cemetery.

You didn't think it necessary to subdue me, did you? Remember, I have been your slave for years." y Helen laughed gaily. No matter how Ned acted she would treat i everything as a joke. She heard ■ the remarks of the others and knew : that she was tossing off remarks i quickly. Lola Wilcox came down stairs dressed in white, and Warren 1 came almost immediately after her. They all went into dinner in ; formally, Helen talking feverishly ;to Ned. She avoided Warren's eyes, and the consciousness that he had not peen her gown, and that she was quite the best dressed woman in the room, and almost the gayest, ' filled her with confidence. She re ; sponded gaily to Ned's foolishness. &1- \ though the fact that Lola Wilcox con > versed a great deal in a monotone with j Warren never escaped her. Once she met Frances' eyes and | they were filled with approval. I Frances, however, was too busy with Carp to give much attention ! to anyone else, and Helen felt under a strain. Once she looked up at some laughing remark from Lola Wilcox and caught Warren's eyes fixed on her. She met them square- I ly, and then as though she had not seen him, turned back to Ned. Afterward they all broke up into little groups, and Ned, who had taken possession of her, drew her to the porch and they looked together out over the soft rolling country. I "Shall we take a walk?" he sug gested. There was nothing that Helen wanted to do less, but it was her opportunity. for they were all gathered around a little table where Babbie was dispensing coffee, and if she wanted to make her pair ing off with Ned Burns ostentatious it seemed to be her one opportunity. "All right," she said brightly, and at that moment Babbie called to her: "Coffee, Helen?" "No, thanks, dear. I'm going for a walk up that delicious lane. It's just too attractive to leave alone." "Beware!" called Lola Wilcox au daciously. And then Helen had an inspira tion. "But it's such a lovely night," she called back sweetly. Warren was looking after her, his eyes dark with anger, and every one else laughed. Helen's plan was working beautifully, but somehow the triumph she should be enjoying was turning to ashes in her mouth. Why was it? It was because she wasn't that type of a woman and never could be It was because she had no desire to flirt with other men, whether it was to give her husband a lesson or for some other reason. Because she was a one man's woman and always would be, be- j cause her gown belied the woman! under it, and she had no motives; that came naturally of the kind that j were second nature to a woman of Lola Wilcox's type. And what if she had gained her triumph and had made Warren jealous? What did it all amount to? Was she any hap pier? No, she was miserable. She had a sudden loathing of Ned, a sudden desire to run away and hide. (Watch for the next instalment oi this fascinating series).

QUAINTEST FROCK FOR SMALL GIRL Cape Collar and Ribbon at High Waistline Make Pretty Effect By MAY MANTON 9167 (WLine tni A&tied Seam AllorJbance) Girl's Dress, 2, 4 aiy4 6 years. This is one of the quaintest, prettiest little frocks that the small child can wear. It is finished with a little cape collar and the ribbon that is adjusted at the high line seems especially well suited to that neck finish. On the figure, it is made of a ; pretty little cotton material with the collar 1 of handkerchief lawn banded with lace, and the belt is of ribbon. For the very tiny ! chi' iren, it is well to omit the belt and to | use a neck-band in place of the collar. There is a trimming over the front that suggests the middy idea but the closing is made at the back. For the tiny tot, fin& white lawn, batiste, and materials of such sort are the preferred ones. Just now, there is a tendency toward using fine dotted swiss. _ It would be very pretty with a little bit of embroidery in cross stitch on the fronts, in place of the trimming. For the 4 year size will be needed, 3 yards of material 27 inches wide, yards 36 or 2 yards 44 with % yard 36 inches wide for the collar and cuffs and 4 H yards of banding. The pattern No. 9167 is cut in sizes for Children of 1, 2 and 4 years of age. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt erf ten cents. Miss Fairfax Answers Queries DON'T YIELD TO SUSPICION DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: For over a year have corresponded with a young man in another State. He was in New York a few weeks ago, and I went out with him a few times, and we were the best of friends. We were to meet the nexr night to say good-by, when I received word he would have to work that night. As I had enjoyed his company very much I thought it only right to call him up and bid him good-by, found out he wasn't working at all, but had left at the usual time. When he writes would you answer his letter? I know he will write. GRACE. If your friend writes to you answer his letter by all means. Are you going to let a suspicion that might be ex plained away cost you a friendship? How do you know what the circum | stances were? Possibly the young man was working at some other task; pos i sibly he expected to work and found at the last moment he could get away; possibly any one of a number •of perfectly good explanations could jbe given. Give him—and yourself— i the benefit of the doubt. j SELFISH, TO SAY THE LEAST DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: A young man has been calling on me for almost two years at least once a week. He has been entertained at house parties at both my homo and jat the homes of my friends, and has | never seemed called upon to send me flowers, candy or to take me to any s place of amusement where he had to i Pay. He will go to a basketball game, a dance or a theater, and see me there ■ with another fellow, and will ask me when he calls if I enjoyed the game or theater or if I had a good time at the dance; but will never ask me to go the next week. He has a very good position and works steadily. He Is about 23 years I old, pleasant company, and a perfect gentlemen. What would you think of him? He is so different from the other young men who received the same courtesies. i He came over the night before Christ mas and didn't even bring me a box of candy. Not that I wanted a present, but I think that was rather cheap. Do you think that I ought to bother with him? At a dance, which he does not take me to, he will want to dance with me all evening, causing a few arguments. ETHEL S. It seems to me that this young man is very selfish. While I do not approve in any way of the modern type of girl who i demands all sorts of expensive attentions, I disapprove more heartiily of a man such as you describe, who seems to feel no need of ofTerlng some of the little courtesies and genero sities friends naturally show each other. I hope you do not fancy your self in love with him, for he is probably the type to whom self would always be the primary consideration. DITCH ROADS ORGANIZED The Hague, Sept. 20.—The General | German Railwaymen's Union, an or ganization embracing all ranks and classes of employes on state and private railways, came into existence recently.

The 1,022 bluejackets who will man the battleship under 58 officers, how ever, probably will divide their ad miration between this, her dozen 14-inch guns and some of the many electrical devices, such as the electric potato peeler in the galley, the electric driven ice cream freezer or the electric dish-washing machine with a capacity of 1,000 dishes per hour.

"SOME" CRITICISM This is how a Far West paper de scribed a famous prima donna's efforts to charm the savage breast: "Her voice was a cross between the hum of a cyclone and the screech of a locomotive dolnk time. It trembled away in cat-like cadences, and rose again like the wall of the Hound of the Baskervilles. Again It rose In mellow tones like a gale dallying over the mouth of a milk-jag. "Stopping to take breath, she rose slowly but surely on her tip toes, and with gyrating arms and heaving chesty gave a good imitation of the approach of a Dakota blizzard. "Old Jim Baker's pet panther, chained to a post in a yard back of the opera house, heard some of the high notes, and they skeered the poor beast out of a year's growth." Here is "some" criticism of a re cently much-boomed novel from the Southern Nevada Swashbuckler: "We started in to read this volume at half after eleven last evening and, when we came to, the morning sun had turned the milk sour on the doorstep. This is a dinky yarn of a feller who lets off more jokes in five minutes than any other fire eater in the terrestial globe. "This sore of advehturer ought to have a wider sphere, more room for his elbom than this little one-horse planet affords. He hasn't got room to do himself justice here. Saturn or Jupiter might do for a villa residence for this feller, but old Earth is clean overlaid."
