THEIR MARRIED LIFE Copyright by International News Service Copyright, 1918, International News Service. "But Warren, we don't know any thing about the place," protested Helen. "What difference does that make? We can take a chance, can't we?" Helen did not kno\V about taking a chance. It was hardly safe to take a chanco on a restaurant; one thing or another was sure to be the matter with it. This one was cer tainly obscure; one entered it from the side street, but It looked attrac tive enough inside, and an orchestra was tuning up preparatory to play ing. "Not so bad, eh?" said Warren. "Look at the prices! This is some thing like." "But the food may be awful, dear." "Be a sport, can't youT We never take a chance on any place that you don't make a fuss about it. Where's your vaunted bohemian i&m?" The waiter came lip, poured water irf the glasses, brought nap kins, and then waited obsequiously for Warren to order. "Let's see," Warren began delib erately, "what are we going to have. Here's one of your favorites. Helen — frog's legs and scallops in a chafing disii, only sixty cents; chicken salad, fifty. These prices are certainly all right." Helen colored. She did wish that Warren would not make audible re marks about what things cost. She cast a look up at the waiter, but his face was inscrutable, and then she murmured to Warren: "Don't talk so loud, dear." "Huh, what did you say? Well, what are you going to have?" Helen ordered the frog's legs and scallops, and Warren ordered a rarebit, and as the waiter went oft' the orchestra began a popular dance and some rather fast-looking girls from the next table got up and be gan to dance. One of the girls was dressed very conspicuously, and she had the fashionable mahogany colored hair that is so popular. Her face was made up to look very white, and her eyes were darkened. When she returned to the table with her partner, she smoked cigaret fat er cigaret. Helen was always fascinated whenever she could watch anyone of this caliber and it wasn't until their order was brought and a rather shoddy cabaret show had be gun that Helen was able to remove here eyes from the girl. Several numbers were given, a group of rather heavy-limbed girls trooped out and sang and danced and waved flags, a rather stout girl came out and sang a sentimental ballad and finally the girl Helen had been watching slipped her satin cape from her shoulders and began to do a song and dance number. She really was good, and the song was popular, and was sung with a certain unrestraint which was pleasing. Warren had turned his chair partly around so that he might see better, and he applauded vociferously when she finished. Helen flushed angrily, as she saw the girl throw a little smile at their table, and as Warren turned back to his food she caught his eye and he laughed gayly. "Quite some girl, isn't she?" he remarked. "Hut she's so common, Warren; she s terribly made-up and she acts so terribly ordinary." 'Of course she's probably not from one of our first families, but she s all right in her place." "1 don't see why it's necessary for that. a cabaret girl to do things like "Like what?" "Why, she certainly smiled at you, Warren." "Well, what if she did? Here she comes again, for heaven's sake don t Bit there like a tombstone, Helen; she'll think you've been lec turing me because you're jealous." Jealous! Helen thought furiously. How eould Warren say such a thing? She hardly raised her eyes from her plate, but Warren, who evincetl the same interest he had shown before, once more turned back to Helen and remarked: "Why can't you enter into the fun of the thing instead of making such a fuss over nothing at all?" "It isn't fun to me Warren; I never can have a good time in a place of this kind; it makes me un comfortable." Warren did not answer. He was watching a group of four men set tle themselves at the next table, and just as the waiter came up the little dancer slipped across the room and greeted the crowd carelessly. She sat down at the table quite as a matter of course, and Helen, who watched them out of the corner of here eye, noticed that although the men ordered cocktails the girl drank coftee. j The girl chattered ceaselessly and finally threw out a remark that pointedly included Helen and Warren's table. "Warren grinned good naturedly, and the men glanced over and laughed; it was plainly just fun, but Helen could not enter into the spirit of it. She knew that she was acting stiff and making her attitude of hostility a thing for all to see, but she simply could not help it. She felt an absurd inclination to get up and leave, and she was furiously angry at Warren for what she con t sidered his share in the matter. He j might have had more consideration for her, and acted in accordance j with her wishes. She had not want ed to come here In the first place. Why was it that Warren seemed to enjoy himself so thoroughly In this atmosphere when she, was quite certain that lie must realize the cheapness of it as plainly as she herself did?

THEFOUR O A SERIAL OF YOUTH AND ROMANCE By VIRGINIA VAN I)E WATER v . . CHAPTER XX Copyright, 1918, Star Company Edward Van Saun, Milton's fa ther, was an elderly man with a young heart. He had been too busy to grow old, but now that his health was failing he found it difficult to be uniformly cheerful. Nevertheless, he welcomed cordi ally the young people as, led by his son, they entered his library. He looked down kindly into Cynthia's face when ho was pre sented to her. • "I am glad to know you, my dear," he said gently, his eyes softening as he noted her mourning garb. "Milton has told me of you and I am happy to meet Dora's cousin. I count myself a lucky man to have before me the prospect of two sweet girls coming into my family." Dora laughed merrily. "There's a compliment for both of us, Cyn," she exclaimed. "I never told you what a dear father Milton had, did I? I really think one reason I became en gaged to Milton was because 1 was so fond of his father." Edward Van Saun smiled, yet Cynthia fancied that a shadow came to his eyes at the girl's jesting state ment. She wondered if this man was like her own father in his deep faith in an undying love between husband and wife, and if he was a little sorry that his future daughter in-law mentioned so lightly matters that were sacred to him. If so, Edward Van Saun had ban ished the matter from his mind be fore he spoke again, and ho was the gei)ial, charming host. ' "Come over into the music room." he proposed after a "and I'll play my organ for you children." "Music is one of dad's recrea tions," Milton informed Cynthia, us they cros&ed the hall together. "He is not a professional musician by any means, but he loves to play for his own delectation." The music roonf had a small pipe organ at one end, and the young people sank into easy chairs as their host took his seat at it. His son had spoken truly when he said that his father wafl not a professional musician, but he was one of the men who have music in their souls. As he played softly, Cynthia closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift. The Music Stops Gradually the strain under which she had been since her uncle's rev elation to her lessened, and she ap preciated that one's life does not consist only In the things which he possesses, but in what he is him self. Her wounded pride and resent ment was soothed. She saw things in tlieir proper proportions. And yet—it hurt her to think that she was a dependant: that she must re adjust her ideas and plans. The music stopped and Dora spoke abruptly. * "I declare you almost mhde me cry, Mr. Van Saun," she said. "It's wonderful to produce such an effect as that on a silly creature like my self. But your music has done it. As to Cynthia, she looks happier than she has all the evening. What makes me want to. cry makes her placid." Cynthia smiled. "Perhaps we feel the same thing, only in a different way," she .suggested. Then, turn ing to Mr. Van Saun. she held out her hand. "Thank you," she said, "you have helped me." "You should sing, my dear, with that rich voice of yours," Edward Van Saun commented. "I do not sins—that is. not to amount of anything," Cynthia in formed him. "No, but she reads like an angel," Dora declared.' "And she wants to come and read to you just as often as you will let her." Milton* hastened to explain to his puzzled parent what Cynthia had proposed. To the girl's relief. Ed ward Van San made no violent pro test. "Are you sure you really want to come?" he asked, looking at her keenly. He could not doubt the sincerity of her reply. "I want very much to come if you will let me." she assured him simply. "You will be doing me a Confederate Soldier's Tribute . to Bliss Native Kerb Tablets "1 am nearly 82 years of age and have been bothered for a long time with Rheumatism and Eczema Nothing gave me relief until I was persuaded to try Bliss Native Herbs.

For over thirty years Bliss Na tive Herb Tablets have been helping humanity to health. Young and old have found them a safe, mild laxa great favor if you will agree to my little plan." A Pleasing Arrangement "I think it may help us both," he said gratefully. "I know it will brighten many a day for me." Before the young people went home it had been arranged that Cynthia was to real aloud to Mil ton Van Saun's father for a couple of hours on two afternoons a week. "I hope I am not imposing upon you," he said in a lt>w voice as he bade the girl good night. "I am trusting you so implicitly that I accept your offer gracefully, but not protestingly." ' "That is because you under stand," she replied. "And you are doing me a favor in understanding." "Isn't he a dear?" Dora said as the quartet started homeward. "I knew you would like him, Cyn." "So did I. And I knew he would like her." Milton informed his be trothed. The engaged couple walked to gether now. Perhaps Dora thought it would appear better in the eyes of her future father-in-law if she left his house with Milton. She did not suggest a change of partners now. "I am too cold to stroll home," she called back to Cynthia and Gerald. "Hurry up!" The others did hurry. They were very silent. When Gerald spoke it was to remark that Dora was a rapid walker. "And very graceful," Cynthia commented. "Yes, she is," Gerald agreed, his eyes on the slender figure ahead of him. "You and she are about the same height—did you know that?" "I had not thought of it," Cyn thia replied. Then they continued on their way in silence us complete as that maintained by the betrothed pair hurrying along in front of them.

Be Carefui in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsitled cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a tea spoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, Huffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loos ens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. tive, which act gently upon the bowels, cleanse the kidneys, stimu late tho liver, and tone up the sys tem.
