"THEIR MARRIED LIFE" Copyright by M—M—l News Service HEUV AND FRANCS DISCUS— "Oh, Frances. I ml>H that cat more than I can say," sighed Helen, aa she watched Mahomet stretching before the open tire. "And Carp and 1 are In love with him. It certainly wan a roundabout way that our pussy happened to come to us, but we're thankful to all you people for getting dissatisfied with him." "Oh, we didn't, my dear; not a bit. Why, even Warren loved Ma homet—he helped pick him out. But we did fjel that with all the epidem ics last summer it was safer to let Ix>uise have him." "And then along came little Oa ivares, and poor Mahomet was shifted 111 in." *lelen laughed. "It was funny, wasn't it? "Certainly wat. But Helen, did 1 101 l you what happened the other night after Carp and I left him here alone for the day?" "Why, no." "It's really quite a story. You rlon't mind if 1 go on working, do ou, Helen? This thing ought to be lone, and Carp promised to do it ast night and the evening slipped 1 way before we knew it." Frances was decorating furniture n odd. queer. uijoymmetrical designs tnd Helen was watching her inter ■stedly. It really was a great relax- \ ition to drop in and see Fcances like, his. She always managed to be I loing something different. | "Well, you see. Carp and I are ■elfish people with no one dependent : >n us. We didn't realize that Ma- J lomet was a real entity until this I r.cident happened, and Helen, you j ihould have heard us. both scared to j leath and not a bit certain what to I io." "Well, go on, Frances; you have : lot told me what it's all about yet." j "Well, we went down to L*>ns Mand for Sunday and left the cat tere with plenty of food." "I know what's going to come," aid Helen, smiling. "He hates to >e left alone and he always cries." "Cries! Well, my dear, according to he people upstairs, he must have j owled. Carp and I got home quite | ate Sunday night, and everything j eemed to be quite all right with the ' at excepting that he was awfully i lad to see us. I was dead to the I I'orld and I began to get into some- i hing loose and comfortable right I way. Suddenly Carp called out to le, the funniest note in his voice. It 1 Tightened me. "Anything wrong?"

Helen exclaimed; "But, Frances, how on earth did it get there?" "Easy enough, my dear. Notice the way the door from the hall Into the studio has drawn away from the floor; why, there must be nearly three inches of space there. Of course wc never noticed It before, but when Carp knelt down he could actually see out fnto the hall." "I should have thought of just one thing." "And that's just, what I did. 1 thought that some one had been an noyed hearing the cat cry, and had slipped some poison under the door. \ Is that what you thought?" j Helen nodded. "Were you fright | ened?" "Was I? Well, rather; but not as much as Carp, after all. My dear, let me tell you we realized that we were \ quite fond of that cat. Up to that time we took him as a matter of | course, but now —well, you'll have an awful time getting it back, Helen." "He seems to lit in better here, anyway, and Warren doesn't want ' him back while Winifred is growing up, so it looks as if Mahomet would be here a good long time. But go \ on with the story, Frances; what did you do?" "There wasn't a thing we could do. We couldn't very well rush out and accuse different people in the butld ( ing of poisoning our cat. So Carp j carefully examined the food, and I really Helen, not a thing had been I eaten from it." "No. he doesn't like anything but meat, fortunately." } "Well, Carp wrapped the bread or whatever it was up carefully In a i paper, and determined to have it an ! alyzed Just for our own satisfaction. I But the next morning the mystery was solved. There's the nicest little j woman living In the studio over this, and she stopped here on her way out. I didn't know who she was until she smiled at Mahomet and said with the quaintest accent; " 'Ah, there's the cat I tried to feed.' "'Oh, did you?' I gasped. Actu ally, I never felt so relieved in my I life. "Well, the long and short of the story was that Mahomet had been j howling his head off for company, j and that nice little woman had thought the beast was hungry and I had done her best with what she had I in the house to help him.out. Need less to say, Carp and I were thankful, 1 and that's how we discovered how | much we like him. It's a good story, i isn't it?" And Frances put a long, I steady streak of orange over the table she was painting, while Ma homet came up as near as he dared and began to purr distractlngly, as though he was perfectly aware that j the conversation had been all about j him.

Many whose eyes were fail ing suy they have had their eyes re st>!ficd by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using it: "I was al most blind. Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything with out my glasses, and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel line all the ' time. It was like a miracle to me." A I lady who used it says: "The atmos , phere seemed hazy with or without ! glasses, but after using this prescrip ; tion for fifteen days everything seems I ; clear. I can read even fine pritrt with i out glasses." Another who used it I says: "I was bothered with eye strain ! -aused by overworked, tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. I have worn i rl:i for several years, both for dis w-rlr ntid without them I | cotild not read my own name of | a.. .. < i.jpe or the typewriting on tne ! machine before me. I can do both now I and have discarded my long distance ! glasses altogether. I can count the flut tering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have i ooked like a dim green blut to me. I I ;annot express my joy at what it has one for me." It is believed that thousands who r glasses can now discard them in Serge and satin are the ma terials used in this dress and a i very Bmart effect they produce. The blouse is a perfectly simple one, and the over-bodice and skirt are joined one to the other. Here, the closing is made at the left shoulder and under-arm, but if you prefer, you can make it at the back. The serge and satin are in every way fashionable dnd in every way serviceable, but one can think of this gown made of broadcloth or of charmeuse over a blouse of crepe de chine or Georgette, if something more dressy were wanted. Here, tha colors are Hue and black, but you could use one color through out or you could use dark blue over a sand colored blouse to be pretty. For a very handsome costume you could use velvet for the over-bodice and skirt and a blouse of more dressy char acter made of chiffon. The velvets of the season are so exceedingly light in weight that they can be plaited as well aa used plainly. For the medium size the blouse will require, 3% yards of material 27 inches wide, 2% yards 36, and the over-bodice with skirt, 6 yards of material 36 inches wide, 5% yards 44, & ar d s 54- The blouse pattern No. 9511 is cut in sizes from 34 to 44 inches bust measure and the over-bodice skirt No. 9568 io sizes from 34 to 40 inches bust measure.
