"THEIR MARRIED UFE" 1 f CopTrlght by International Nem Service Befors Helen had taken Mrs. Trav ers Into the guest room and had mado Jier feel at home she was sure that for once Warren had proposed entertain ing a woman who was Interesting. It was not that Mrs. Travers possessed any qualities that Helen's more inter esting friends possessed, but -ehe was ■weet and retiring, and, most of all, (sympathetic. Helen felt that unlike entertaining Frances, this being pleasant to Mrs. Travers wus a pleasure. With Frances Helen was compelled to stifle her de sire to talk about ordinary domestic occurrences. This she occasionally liked to do, but it became tiresome to talk indefinitely about the things that Frances was Interested in. Helen knew that she could not hope to ever rival Frances in her particular field, not even in conversing about it, but with Mrs. Travers it was different. Mrs. Travers had two small chil dren, ono a little girl about Winifred's tge, and she was eager to know about Winifred's advancement, her studies, Jier home discipline and every thing In short that Helen was eager to talk about. By the time that the two women went out to dinner, they had plready discovered a great many points In common. Helen was her own natural polf | during the meal. She had never telt i so completely surprised and pleased PS she was with Mrs. Travers. She actually looked forward to a pleasant evening, but it wasn't until they were all settled In the theater that Helen thought of telling Mrs. Travers about the thing that so disturbed her. Helen had almost forgotten that Warren had almost refused to take her to see "The Lamp," she had for gotten everything unpleasant In the genuine pleasure of the occasion. The two women chatted pleasantly through the first Intermission, and by the time the wait between the second end third acts arrived Helen broached Bad Results follow a lazy liver:— Constipation; Disor dered Stomach; Head ache; Biliousness, and other evil, painful, dangerous things.

FRIDAY EVENING, HXRIUSBURG TEEEGRXPH ■ the subject that was nearest her y | heart. After a few preliminary sen •! tences she proceeded to tell Mrs. • i Travers frankly about the offer ate t.hnd of a good position and her final L refusal of it; of Warren's disapproval • and her wish to compromise by enter i Ing a school and taking a course in , something. "And the funny part of it is," 6he r ] concluded, "now that Warren has . given his consent and actually agrees i to my doing this thing, 1 have lost all • Interest." "That's natural enough," said Mrs. • Travers sympathetically. "A woman !j is always that way, don't you think 11 so? Given her own way she seldom i! really wants it." ■! "But you see, I don't know how to , tell Warren without making a tool ot : myself. You don't know how ho will I make fun of me." • | For the life of her Helen could i not understand why she was telling ;,all this to a comparative stranger. Why, it was woman's talk of the most : 1 Intimate kind, and yet Mrs. Travers . seemed interested and she was such a i nice woman to confide in. "Has he mentioned the subject ■ since you introduced It?" Mrs. Trav i ers questioned. ! | "No, he avoids it Just as I do. If : i only I had a legitimate reason for . I telling him that after all I thought I i would not begin." "Why not tell him that you have i been advised not to begin a course in nthe middle of the year?" "That would be simple enough, i wouldn't It?" "I should think so, yes, it certainly i sounds plausible." Helen felt strangely comforted. It 1 j was not so much what the woman had said, but her very obvious Inter ■ est and sympathy went a long way toward endowing her remarks with real wisdom. Helen wondered why i sho had not thought of so simple a solution long before this. "That's Just what I shall do," she said finally. "I'll mention It casually | so that he won't dream that I have ! been thinking about it at all." ! "And In the meantime yo'u might ; interest yourself in something else that will take up your time. In the i fall the thing will have blown over and lie will have forgotten all about the fact that you ever mentioned it." The rlso of the curtain at this min ute prevented further conversation | and its fall ended the play. "How did you like it?" said War ren as he helped Helen on with her coat, "Were you as pleased as you thought you would be?" "Yes, I thought it was splendid," Helen returned enthusiastically. "And Mrs. Travers enjoyed it ever so much. I'm so glad that we didn't arrange to see It before I met them." Warren stared at Helen with nil a man's curiosity at a woman's sudden change of mind, but he said nothing, 1 there was really not time for it. It wasn't until much later, after they had all had a bite to eat and had j returned to the apartment, that War- I ren turned to Helen after they were alone in their room. "Well, I guess Mrs. Travers wasn't' so bad after all," he remarked as he I ! pulled off his collar. "Oh, I liked her very much, dear," said Helen, turning to him sweetly. "There are very few women of her type, let me tell you." I "I guesa you're right- Nothing ex ! citing or extraordinary about her, but a good sort, I guess." Helen smothered a quick defense of Mrs, Travers, knowing that Warren's viewpoint was after all typically m&s --: cullne, "Oh, by the way, dear," she said, smothering a yawn and trying to ap ; pear Indifferent. "I didn't tell you, did I, that they told me at the Art School to wait until fall to begin my work? I'm really glad, because spring Is a bod time to begin anything." "I knew you'd be glad of a reason to hedge before you started," said Wnrren wisely. "Y'ou're not as mod ern as you pretend, are you, old girl?"

MAKES APPEAL FOR MORE HELP Relief Committee in London Reports Need For Supplies and Clothing Two years ago Mrs. Romilly Kcd den author of those two popular novels, "Shifting Sands" and "The Spare Room" —started the Belgravia workrooms and War Hospital Supply Depot in London. The work filled such a need that it has grown from its three-room quarters to an establish ment occupying two lurgc six-story houses and three garages, and has over thirty branches in country towns, with a membership of over four thou sand workers; and the increasing con signments of supplies from America to the Belgravia have resulted in the formation of the American Receiving and Distributing Service. The war has increased the need of 19 grow n ■ mm fnst us It has been able. There are many needs, however, which cannot be met by the devoted souls who ure ministering to relieve what suffering they can, and Mrs. Kedden, In co-op eration with many other Amorican born women, makes appeal to fellow Americans for more help. The com mittee needs: Folded gauze dressing; bandages, triangular, T, and many-tall abdomi nal; small fracture cushions and com fort pillows—thousands, for it takes thirty to pack u badly shuttered man on a stretcher; pajamas; helpless shirts—open down the backs, no tapes; operation stockings; pneumo nia jackets; bales of material—cotton, flannelette, shirting, to be made up at the London depot for whatever the moment may call for; rolls of gauze; cases of rubber, hot water bottles, gloves, and air cushions. And money to buy things, to 1111 appeals at once when the articles called for are not in stock. These things may be sent direct by individuals, or at the request of In dividual;: through organizations doing war relief work for British and al lies' hospitals.
