WOM EN'S INT ERES TS
"THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
C*pjrtcbt by lateraattonal Ntwi IcrriM
Helen and Warren had planned to
go with Jack and Frances to meet Anne.
At first Helen liad demurred, sure that
Jack would prefer to meet Anne alone,
but Jack had laughed at the idea.
And so the four had planned to meet
Jier, and then go out to dinner some
where, as the train got into New York
t 6.30. At the big station everything
■was bustling life. People swarmed In
and out under its impressive stone
arches.
"Did you wire her as I told you,
Jack?" Frances queried anxiously. "You
know 1 left everything to you and you
promised to attend to it."
"I wired her that I would be there,
of course," Jack returned. "But I didn't
say anything about the rest of you.
It wouldj be nicer to surprise her."
"The train has come in," Helen inter
rupted excitedly as the first stragglers
began to come through the gates, "and
oh, there she Is, see, behind that tall
•woman."
"Well, here we are," said Frances,
rushing up to her, "all your little pals.
Goodness, child, you've grown fat. What
have they been doing to you out in
Kansas?"
"She hasn't changed a bit," War
ren said, grinning at the flushed little
face. Warren had always liked Anne
Redding, she was so simply sincere,
ao eager to spend herself for others.
Tt was a fault not common In New
York city,' and Warren, who was In
clined to be selfish himself, saw this
unselfishness in others more quickly
that he would have otherwise.
"We are all going to torment you
and Jack through dinner," Frances
announced. "Do you mind, if we prom
ise to let you go up to my studio af
terward. so that you can get acquaint
ed again?"
"Of course not," said Anne dimp
ling dellciously," and I am crazy to
see the studio, Frances. You are a
peach to let me stay with you till 1 get
married."
"But you're not going to stay with
irce," said Frances dramatically.
"I'm hot? Well,where am 1 going
to stay?"
"At Helen's. You are going to have
her guest room all to yourself, and
Helen and Warren will sit in the
kitchen every evening so that you and
Jack can have the livingroom."

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
They all laughed at Anne's aston
ished face, and everyone began to talk
at once about the plans for the wed
ding. By the time they had reached the
little restaurant where they had decided
to eat, Anne was flushed to the roots
of her black hair with excitement. She
had been speechless from the begin
ning, and once she had been so near
tears that Helen had motioned to
Frances to stop.
"We oughtn't to spring everything
on her at once," Helen said. "Give her
time to digest some of it."
"And who knows." said Warren, jo
vially, "she might not like the idea of
staying at our place. Speak up. Anne,
and turn us down if you will."
The fun waxed fast and furious, and
it was such merry fun that people
turned enviously from other tables to
look at them. Suddenly a dark gypsy
type of woman, who had been sitting at
a table against the wall, got up de
liberately and crossed over to them.
"Hello, Jack!" she said, laying her
hand Intimately on his shoulder;
"haven't seen you for ( a dog's age.
Where do yoif keep yourself these days?
How Is it you never eat at the old place
any more?"
j Jack introduced her to the others
.as Mrs. Toretti, and after a few more
! allusions to the "old place" and the
1 friends wh) had missed him the wo
! man noddtd and went back to her
| table. There was a little silence and
I then Jack, laughing a little nervous
' ly, began to explain.
j "Isn't that just like a woman of that
i type to come over here and speak to
j me?" he began. "She is the wife of
'an Italian who keeps a restaurant up
I in the Lincoln Square neighborhood.
! "We fellows used to eat there a lot
j and Notta Toretti always took a per
! sonal interest in us. We were nearly
all broke in those days, you know,
and she used to be a good sort."
| Anne heaved a little sigh of re-
I lief, and Helen met the girl's eyes
With sympathy in her own. Not that
: there was any need ot ever distrusting
•lack, but men were often lenient in
| their ideas of personal friendship, and
i it was such a relief to know that every
| thing was all right.

Speedy Victory as Mach
Surprise to French as It
Was to Army of Crown Prince
Paris, Oct. 25. The French at
tack at Verdun apparently took the I
Germans completely by surprise and I
not at one point did they succeed in j
stopping the Impetuous rush. In i
three hours the Frenfch recaptured 1
ground, to gain which required months!
of patient effort by the Germans, in
cluding such positions as Douaumontj
fort and Thiaumont work, which in;
tlie_past were won and lost repeatedly, j
The official French account of the
battle, every word of which was
weighed carefully, does not say the
German line was forced back, but
that it was "burst." Later details of
the French victory show that its ex
tent was as much of a surprise to
the French as it must have been to
the Germans. General Petain regard
ed the front east of the Meuse as too
cramped, and siißßested to General
Nivelle, the commander of Verdun,
that he Rive himself more elbow room.
"With that end in view infantry was
sent up to reinforce the French and
artillery was ordered for the estab
lishment of new batteries. The avia
-lion department was commissioned to
make an exhaustive survey of the
positions of the German batteries and
points of assembly. This work was
carried out and the secret was kept so
well that to all appearance the Ger
mans never had an Inklinß of what
was in prospect. Furthermore they
evidently believed the energies of the
French were beiiiß absorbed by the
battle of the Homme and made no
preparations to meet a thrust at Ver
dun. Thus it came about that what
was intended for a small maneuver
became a brilliant tactical success.
The attack was planned for ten days
ago. Artillery bepan preliminary
work but rainy weather set in and
Grand Headquarters ordered a post
ponement. When the time came the
attack was delivered by four columns
of a division each, first on the left be
tween the southern slopes of Pepper
Hill and Thiaumont farm. This met
with little difficulty. The attackers
carried Thiaumont work and farm
and the Haudromont quarries set as
the objective and Rained the Bras-
Douamont road beyond. There' the
attackers stopped, having advanced
about a mile.
The other attacks were equally suc
cessful.
French in Sadden Thrust
at Verdun Sweep Germans
Back Beyond Douaumont
Paris. Oct. 25. Verdun, long lost
sight of, sprang suddenly and unex
pectedly to-day into the forefront of
the public mind which exclusively had
been directed towards the battle on
the Somme front. The German front
on the right hank of the Mouse literal
ly was swept away for a distance of
four and a half miles like straw before
the wind.
General Nivelle for weeks past had
been watching the German move
ments, carefully calculating the effect
of every withdrawal of troops for
transfer to the Somme and eastern
fronts. At the same time he quietly
made his preparations and when he
Judged the Germans had thinned their
defenses to the danger point, he
struck like lightning. The result was
one of the most brilliant operations of
the campaign.
Italian Cavalry Effect
Junction With Entente

tillery from the entente forces on the
Macedonian front, the war office an

Athens. Oct. 24, via London, Oct. 25.
—The Greek government to-day is
sued a communication to clear up the
misunderstandings due to exaggerated
reports of King Constantine's inter
view with the French military at
tache on Friday. The communica
tion explains that the French govern
ment made no demands, but merely
submitted a memorandum and that
the king never declared he was pre
pared to break off relations with the
entente. It is thought that as a re
sult of a conversation between the
king and the French minister this
morning during which explanations
were made, the French marines may
be withdrawn shortly from Athens
and Piraeus.

sale. The milkmen of Harrisburg at
a recent meeting practically deter
mined to keep their price down to 8
cents a quart to the consumer. They
are now planning to fight the demands
of the farmers and may not meet the
demand for 20 cents. Retailers claim
that 18 cents Is sufficient and will
meet on Friday evening at 7 o'clock
in Maennerchor Hall to act on the
increase demanded.
I'ight Two-cent, Increase
According to several retail dairymen
of Harrisburg who attended the meet
ing in Penbrook last night, a number
of the dairy farmers said that the
price to the consumer should be raised
to nine cents a quart. Retail men
declared that they will do everything
in their power to prevent a two-cent
Increase.
More than 200 dairy farmers met
last night in the Penbrook Town I-lall
to take action on the proposed in
crease. The producers by a unani
mous vote last night decided to raise
their price from 16 to 20 cents a gal
lon. Retailers immediately announced
un increase from 7 to 8 cents a quart.
The producers say they must pay more
for labor and feed, necessitating a
raise in the wholesale price. The
agreement made last night is only for
a period of six months, but producers
and retail men said that no further
Increase is contemplated. G. Strock.
president, and Irvin Hain, secretary,
of the Producers' Association, were in
stalled last night. Two committees,
one from Dauphin, the other from
Cumberland county, were named to
meet on Friday night at the Bolton
hotel, to draft by-laws and form plans
