14 WOMEN'S "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" Copyright by International \fn Service Ned Burns came into the room easily and smiled as Helen rose to meet him. Helen, in spite of the fact that Ned was there to tell her of his engagement to some unknown girl, had dressed very carefully and was looking her best. Ned looked at her keenly and Helen returned his smile with one calculated to be simply friendly. "Ned, how are you?" she said cor dially. "Very well," he responded conven tionally; "you are looking well, Helen. How's Warren?" Helen responded lightly. This was plainly an exchange of conventionali ties, for the deeper business lay under the surface, and both Helen and Ned were aware of the fact and were anx ious to begin. Ned was anxious to tell Helen what he had alluded to in his letter, but Helen, in spite of her curi osity concerning the business arrange ment he had spoken of, was more anxious to congratulate Ned on his en gagement. She felt somehow that she would feel easier afterward. That was the thing that would change the com mon ground between them and put Helen more at her ease. "I told Warren all about it last night," Helen began quickly. "We are both so anxious to hear about her." Ned laughed. Helen thought era barrassedly, and said: "Well, let's put off that subject and get to the business arrangement." "But I don't want to put it oft. I •want to know about her, where you met her anti what she is like." "Don't you want to hear what I have to tell you'.'" "Oh. yes, Ned, I am consumed with curiosity," Helen hastened to say. She could not help wondering why Ned ■wished to put off telling her his news, but she acceded readily enough to his request to postpone it until later and turned toward him eagerly. "All right, what is this exciting mews?" Ned warmed up to the subject ■quickly. "Well, of course you know that I am 'located here in Xew York now." Helen nodded. "Weil, having an office here makes •a great difference, and I need someone 'to take charge of my traveling end. Not a woman who will travel herself, don't misunderstand me, but someone to hear complaints, engage women and take all that off my shoulders, so that I can go about enlarging the business still more. Helen, how about that position? If you'd like to have it, it's yours." An Odd Request Helen gasped. "Why. Xed, you're craay. Of course 1 can't take a busi ness position. I have no head for it. I am a married woman with a family. "Warren would never hear of it. There are a hundred reasons that I could Kive you for not even hearing it for a moment." Xed laughed. "Of course, Helen, it Is a surprise to you. I realize that.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and I Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons. Life is not merely to live, but tu live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can. Instead, feel as fresh as a daisy l>y opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the Internal poisonous stag nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the etomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the enlre alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach Is vonderfully Invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and a<ldlty and gives one a uplendld appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate Is quietly ex tracting a large volume of water from •the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious npells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of llmer (stone phosphate from the drugstore which will cost very little, but is suf r fleient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal san itation. v v\ / FRIDAY EVENING. expected you to say all this and I have an answer for every argurfient." Helen shook her head unbelievingly. "Well, take the first argument," Ned said lightly. "You say you haven't a business head. How do you know? You've never tried business. I have a sneaking feeling that you would make a corking business woman, only you don't know because you have never tried it. Granted that you are a mar ried woman. Well, that oughtn't to stand in your way. "Your husband makes r good in come, enough to Rive you a good home and a servant, all the necessities and some of the luxuries. What do you do toward maintaining it? You order the food, see that the house is kept clean. Well, you could do all that and still bo a business woman. Besides, Warren would think twice as much of you if you were Independent; any man would." Ned stopped and Helen found her self deeply interested in what he was saying. Of course he was right in the main, but it was just impossible for her to even consider his proposition. It all sounded too much like a story. She might have credentials, but when it came to taking the matter over into her own hands and deciding it for her self she could not do it. She was too much in love with Warren and had lived too long under his regime, allow ing him to settle her business for her, to suddenly break forth into an inde pendent life. Some women could do it: for her it would be impossible. "And you say that Warren would not hear of it?" Ned was saying. "How do you know? Have you ever tested him ?" "No. because he has never thought of such a thing, and neither have I. I have never been a business woman: in fart, Warren detests all women who are advanced. Ho is so conventlal that he just cannot understand women doing the work of men and earning almost as much. You know, Ned, that there arc hundreds of men who think just the same upon these subjects. I do thank you for taking this interest in me. but really it would be impos sible to consider it," "Will you promise mc one thing?" "Wbat is it?" "That you will put the matter up to Warren?" Helen hesitated for a moment and then spoke. "No. I couldn't. I couldn't: why. I should be petrified if I thought you were going to hand over any responsibility to me. I am afraid of business; really you have picked the wrong woman. There must be hundreds of other women who would fit in beautifully with your scheme, but 1 am not the type at all." Ned sat back in his chair and thought. At least he had planted the seed of discontent in Helen's mind. Well, it would do no harm to wait a while now. the developments were sure to be interesting.

TURD SI. -II Mail bdh mm hemi ripmh laromßinEßnrama ~~ IMPRESS SHAME OF DEBT ON YOUNG Make Them Realize That It Is Wise to Pay as You Go (Copyright. 1915, Star Company) Whatever else you may wish to do for your children and cannot do, you can. at least, impress strongly upon their young minds the shame of debt. You can make them realize by precept and example how much more admirable it is to go without things or pleasures than to possess them at the cost of self-respect and at another's expense. There can be no greater benefit bestowed upon a child than to have these ideas im bedded in the mental consciousness until they become foundation stones of the character. A woman in New York, mother of two lovely young daughters and wife of a good man, was ambitious to shine in certain intellectual clubs. She was admitted to one of them and invited friends to be her guests at a large social function where an expensive luncheon was served, but when the bills for her dues and luncheon ticket*! were pre sented she ignored them. The same woman purchased ex pensive material in which to clothe her daughters, and ignored the bill until a lawyer's letter frightened her into paying it. She is only one of hundreds of women who are dressing, dining and driving on other people's money. She had not been rightly I trained by her parents or she could I never have descended to such a j level. She had, no doubt, heard her | mother speak admiringly of people | who shone socially and who wore | fashionable garments more fre ; quently than she had heard her j praise the people who refused to ' run bills or Incur the taxing re sponsibility of debt. Tlie name of an eminent profes sional man chanced to be mentioned In a market where a gentleman was making purchases. The purchaser spoke highly of the professional man's Intellect. "Yes, he has Intel lect. all right," said the market keeper, "but I haven't much use for him. "He has owed mo S2B on n meat bill for five years. Of course I have stopped sending the bill now, He elves his patronage to other mar kets. and he plays the same game on each one after a time, and he is that way In everything. He owes everybody, and they all grow tired of sending hire bills and so he comes out the winner of a few dol lars with each party, but he loses the respect of everybody he deals with." This is a shameful record for any man to have, It Is open theft and nothing less, There Is no intellec tual achievement, no social honor, which can compensate a mun or woman fop such a reputation. It Is sometimes impossible to avoid run ning bills, People who earn wages, salaried men and women and even those possessed of comfortable fortunes are, at times, placed in a position where immediate payments are im possible. But payments at stipu lated times can be made when the importance of such a proceeding is firmly fixed In the mind of the debtor. A fixed purpose always biases a trail toward achievement. When It Is absolutely impossible to make payments it is always possible to make your creditor know that you mean to pa*:. There are people who have carried the burdeu of debt for HARRISBURG BSj6Sfli TELKGRJ'LPH years, yet never for one moment, did anyone doubt their integrity or ! their ultimate success. To be careless, indifferent, and thoughtless, in these matters; to i postpone payment when you could lessen your indebtedness, all savors of a criminal tendency of mind. You i may as well enter the house of a I tradesman or merchant and take money from his pockets while he sleeps as to enter his place of busi ness and take what you desire and j refuse or neglect to pay your bills, j If you look about you you will see that not only the respect of; their fellowmen. but good luck and good fortune follow the people who i have high and sensible ideals in J the matter of debt. There is no' more admirable reputation to merit than that of being honorable and ! conscientious in money obligations. ; Teach your children this and teach I them that it is a disgrace to neglect a payment until it calls forth a dun. Be ashamed to debt, but do not be ashamed of wearing last year's gar ment or to be obscure socially if this is necessary in order to clear! yourself from debt. Brush your old clotnes well and walk forth proudly, happy 111 the consciousness that you can look | your fellowmen bravely in the ! eye and that you have earned the i reputation of paying your bills promptly.
