" When a Girl Marries"
By Ail if ÜBUB
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER XV
(Copyright, 1918, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.).
The very instant Mr. Mason asked
me if I was afraid to lunch alone
with him at the Rochambeau, I
knew I would have to stay.
What I didn't know was whether
It was to myself or to him I wanted
to prove that I was enough of a
woman of the world to remain even
without the promised "chaperonage"
of his cousin Evelyn. It would have
seemed 111-bred and childish to dis
cuss the situation, or even to call it
a situation.
"I'm not going to bother you with
the menu card, Fair-tenant-to-be.
I've lunched at this place for Ave
years, and I know its specialties.
Say we start with hors d'ouvre and
then have a casserole chicken with
fresh vegetables, hearts of lettuce
with Russian dressing, pastry ancf a
demitasse. Does that sound tempt
ing? Do you think it's the sort of
lunch with which a landlord may
inveigle a tenant?" asked Mr. Ma
son.
"It sounds like a wonderful lunch*
But I didn't think landlords strug
gled to get tenants nowadays. I had
an idea homeless folks fairly bribed
landlords to let them come and oc
cupy the premises," I replied, after
/the little interval it took Mr. Mason
/ to convey his order to the waiter.
/ His manner to servants was crisp
/ and impersonal. Even in dealing
J with a cross-eyed old newspaper
f woman or a little darkey elevator
boy, Jim's voice and air were warm
and bantering. That was part of his
charm. I wondered where my boy
was lunching in Washington, and
with whom.
I brought myself back with a start.
There was all of a long, lonely aft
ernoon and e%-ening ahead; they
would be dedicated to missing J.lm.
A tonic bit of enjoyment and for
getting would equip me to face them
more courageously. So I gave my
self completely to the sway of that
hour, with its delicious food, golden
atmosphere and stimulating com
panionship. Mr. Mason talked of
"shoes and ships and sealing-wax"
delightfully and with a flattering air
of being delighted. Over the coffee
cups Mr. Mason made a sugges
tion:
"Now that you're right in the
neighborhood, wouldn't it be wise
to look at the apartment again? I'd
really like you to have the little place
if it appeals to you. And if I don't
have to risk its standing empty all
summer, I can afford to offer very
tempting terms."
"That's a very wise suggestion," I
replied.
But—was it?

TUESDAY EVENING,
ilfty-flve. She gave the impression
of expecting one to think her nearer
forty than sixty! She put up her
lorgnette and studiod us with se
rene rudeness. Then she spoke
rather superciliously:
"I've been looking at the apart
ment, Tommy. I decided I'll have it
from the first of October. A hun
dred you said—wasn't it?"
Mr. Mason smiled with unruffled
amiability.
"Oh, Mrs. Varden, are you really
serious about an apartment? I've
another that would suit you much
better, if you're coming to town this
winter."
"But I want this. Don't show it
to another tenant." ordered the
woman, turning crimson under her
rouge.
"Sorry, dear lady. This one is
taken from the first of July. My old
friend Jimmy Harrison has the re
fusal of it."
"Oh, the chap your cousin Evelyn
threw over when he went tumbling
j into the European war a few years
ago. What is he going to do with
an establishment?" asked the
woman in a tone which made me
feel as if I had been struck by the
flat of her pudgy white hand.
"Mrs. Harrison is going with me
now to look at the apartment," re
turned Mr. Mason, in a cold tone,'
which Mrs. Varden evidently took as
an introduction.
"Oh —Mrs. Harrison! And so
you're the girl who snatched up
Evvy's beau. I heard something
about an up-to-date courtship and a
modern wile. Quite modern, I
should say, my dear."
Her glance was poisonous—
though she hid it beneath a smile.
It asked how the husband I had
"snatched up" was amusing himself
—it cast ugly aspersions on love and
marriage and all fine feelings. It
sneered at truth and loyalty—that
glance!
I marvel now at my self-control.
It wasn't instinctive respect for gray
hair that kept me silent, nor even
my frightful resentment of the way
she misinterpreted Mr. Mason's atti
tude toward me—it was the sheer 1
amazement of discovering that my .
Jim had ever been in love with Eve
lyn.
He almost disliked her now —that
I knew. I was sorry for her—not
afraid of Iter.
I wondered if it was hurt pride,
but—l knew that little baby face
had never jilted my boy!—it must
be that Jim had simply outgrown
Evelyn.
After ten days of marriage my
husband was actually eager to go
back to the war—was he indeed a
man who could grow tired elf love
after he possessed it? With renew
ed force it came over me that Jim's
life up to a month ago was a closed
book to me. This painted, would
be youthful, middle-aged woman ac-

tually knew more about my husband
than I!
By the time these thoughts had
flashed across my mind, Tom Mason
had bowed her away, had swept me
up the stairs, into his fourteenth
century Italian livingroom and back
among the tapestried cushions of a
wonderful deep couch, much too
comfortable to be anything but
twentieth-century American.
"Mrs. Jimmy, won't you do me a
favor?" he was saying. "That
dreadful old Varden woman means
to have this apartment whether or
no I want her to. To save me from
her, won't you take it on —at sixty
a month? You and Jim will be
much more comfortable here than
at the Walgrave—and I will be res
cued from a tenant whose presence
among my lovely things would tar
nish them forever!
"Won't you take it? I want my
furniture to be among friends," beg
ged Mr. Mason with tactful kindness
that made my feelings for him
change from indifference to grateful
liking.
"You're very fond of Jim?" I
iasked impulsively. •
I "Jim's a fine chap—old friend —
children-together-stuff, you know.
He and Evelyn had a boy and girl,
moon-shine love affair .too. But wo
drifted apart. It's Mrs. Jim who's
bringing us in touch again. She's
making the old friendship seem
worth renewing. Won't she cement
it by saving my little place from that
old—vampire?"
Tom Mason laid his hand on mine
for a moment—like a real pal it
seemed to me.
Then he spoke—and there was a
deep note In his lazy voice:
"We are friends aren't we,
Donna Anna?"

"Imagine drying cauliflower!" no
doubt many women are saying just
now. There is no need of hesitation,
however, in undertaking to do it.
After cleaning, divide the cauli
flower into small pieces. Blanch six
minutes and drain. Spread on trays
and dry. Recent experiments show
that cauliflower will stand well an
initial drying temperature of 120 de
grees F., which should be gradually
raised to 130 degrees F. and main
tained until the drying is complete.
Write to the National War Garden
Commission, Washington, for a free
drying booklet, sending a 2-cent
stamp for postage.
Although turning dark while dry
ing, cauliflower will regain part of
Its original whiteness in soaking and
cooking. Dried cauliflower is espe
cially good for soups and omelets.
Drying Parsnips
Parsnips are vegetables worth
drying. Clean thoroughly, scrape off
skin, and cut into % -inch slices.
Blanch two minutes and drain well.
Spread evenly on drying tray and
start the*drying at 120 degrees F.
and raise gradually to 145 degrees
F. The temperature should not ex
ceed this at any time. The parsnips
are sufficiently dry when the pieces
break if one tries to bend them and
when they show no moisture upon
being pressed between the fingers.
The Commission will be glad to an
swer any questions written on one
side of the paper and sent in a self

HARRISBURG TEIEGRAFH
THE KAISER AS I KNEW
HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS
By ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D. a
(Copyright, 1918, by the McClure "Newspaper Syndicate)
(Continued.)
"Well, Davis," he said, "I hope I
haven't spoiled your Sunday after
noon, but, I assure you, it was not
for myself I sent for you, but for
my wife. She is suffering greatly;
I'm in a great huny; my autos are
waiting for me below, but I wanted
to remain until you arrived to give
you a little history of the case."
He then described to me the Kal
serin's ailment, and explained that
he had insisted upon my coming for
a consultation with the Kaiserin's
physician.
'My wife has been suffering for
several days," he concluded, "and
we are going to have a state ball on
Tuesday and I want you to get her
in order so that she can attend it,
as it io one of the most important
social functions of the season. Fol
low me and I will take you to my
wife and introduce you."
We accordingly entered a very
large sitting room. It was finished
in cream color, and was furnished,
rather too fully, I thought, with
a profusion of heavy furniture.
There were many French mirrors
around the room, but by far the
most conspicuous feature -was the
pictures and photographs. In every
conceivable place I noticed pictures
of the various members of the. royal
family—the Kaiser, the children
and the grandchildren, not to say
anything of their cousins and uncles
and aunts, being shown in a score
of different po6es and at all ages,
j Even the scrap basket I observed
had pictures of the royal family
worked into it, and more pictures
peered up a' me from under the
glass top which covered a table.
The Empress, in a negligee of her
favorite royal purple, er.tertd and
shook hands with me cordiallv. She
looked very worn, a> d it was plain
that she had been suffering consider
able pain and los 3 of sleep. She had
a handsome flgui e and was stately
in her carriagb, but he crowning
glory was a profusion of white heir.
She was then fifty-four year 3 old.
but her hair had turned white many
years before.
It was said, indeed, that the
change had been brought about
rather suddenly as a result of cer
tain drugs she had taken in an
effort to avert a tendency to avoir
dupois which had developed.
I know that the Kaiser loathed
fat women. On more than one oc
casion he had said to me as he bade
me farewell: "Well, Davis, you
have kept me here talking so long
you have almost spoiled my morn
ing walk, but I'll take a walk
through the Tiergarten just the
same," and then ho would add dis
gustedly, "where I presume I will
have to greet all the fat Jewesses in
the park!"

Kaiserin's physician joined us, and
there were several maids —very su
perior young women—iri attendance
upon their royal mistress.
After I had examined the Empress
and had given my advice, the physi
cian explained to me in a low voice
that it was necessary to be cautious
and not do much, its he was afraid
of her physical condition.
"Anything you do for her Maj
esty," he explained, "would require
giving an anaesthetic. She is not
in condition to stand pain without.
The only anaesthetic her Majesty
will take is chloroform. I've ad
ministered it to her eleven times and
I know just what it means. I'm
afraid of her heart at this time. In
deed, just as soon as I can get her
into condition I want her to go to
Nauheim for the cure."
His alarming words caused quite
a flurry among the maids and they
crowded around the Empress and
begged her to have nothing done
that day, but to endure her suffer
ing a little longer in the hope that
relief would como without the neces
sity of an operation at that time.
Their pleadings prevayed upon the
patient to postpone the treatment.
This made the Kaiser very angry,
and he walked up and down the
room impatiently.
"Here," he said, 'Tve got Dr.
Davis to come on a Sunday after
noon, and you want to be in shape
for the ball on Tuesday, and now
you won't have anything done!
That's the way with the women!"
Then he turned to me and said:
"Well. Davis, I'm sorry to have
spoiled your day." And he dashed
out of the room, apparently much
provoked. I felt I had almost wit
nessed a family quarrel, but the in
cident indicated to me that what
ever hopes the Kaiser might enter
tain of one day dominating the
world, he had not yet acquired un
disputed dominion in his own house
hold!
I did not see the Kaiserin again
for nearly a year, when she came
to my office with a lady-in-waiting.
She arrived in her own car. Its
approach was heralded by the im
perial "Tadi-Tada" without the con
cluding "TaTa," which latter was
reserved exclusively for the Kaiser,
and not even the Kaiserin was al
lowed to use. The Kaiser's "Tadi-
Tada-Ta-Ta" was the subject of much
sarcasm among the proletariat, who
satirically put it to the words, "Cel
erie-Salat-TaTa," an illusion to the
Ivurytss of the royal table which
contrasted most unfavorably with
the simple meals to which they were
accustomed; while the Socialists
showed their sentiments very plainly
by improvising the wordd: "Von Un
sern Geld-TaTa," referring to the
royal immunity from taxation, which
was one of their bitterest pills.
It was not long after I had known
the Kaiserin before she made clear
to me that she possessed a most dic
tatorial manner, which was quite
in contrast with that of the Kaiser,
at least when he was in my office.
She objected strenuously to re
moving her hat—and she usually
wore a large one with a veil —but
finally yielded when I explained that
I could not accomplish my wotk sat
isfactorily unless she did so. When
I placed cotton-roils in her mouth,
she insisted that as she did not like
the sensation' of the cotton against
her lips or tongue, I would have to
encase the cotton in rubber.
I told her politely but firmly that
my work would be done in my own
way, and she finally acquiesced, add
ing: "Well, if you make such a
point of it, doctor. I suppose I shall
have to let you have your way."
Evidently this incident was re
peated in the royal family, for some
few weeks later the Kaiserin's
youngest son. Prince Joachim, called
to see me professionally, and smil
ingly remarked: "I hear you don't
think very much of the cotton rolls
with rubber around them which the
Empress invented and which we
named "The Imperial Cotton Roil,"
to which I promptlv agreed. There
were a number of other incidents
from time to time which revealed to
me that whatever I said or did while
treating th various members of the
royal family was talked of among
them, very often the most trivial re
marks made to one member of the
family being referred to by another
later on.
From that time on the Kaiserin
came to me more or less regularly.
Hr lackey usually followed her
into the house carrying an artistic
lunchbox or bag containing sand
wiches and bouillon, of which the
Empress partook in my office. The
Princess Victoria Doulse, the Kai
ser's only daughter. T may mention,
usually came slmtlailv provided. No
German ever lets nnvthing Inter
fere with his second breakfast.
The Empress never spoke on po
litical subjects. She was not par
ticularly brilliant and evidenced
some reluctance to air her views on
international affairs, as though she
were not quite sure of herself. Cer
tainly, she was not nearly as talka
tive as the Kaisen- When she did
unburden herself, it was usually in
connection with domestic subjects.
It was said in Germany her only
interest in life was represented by
the "three K's," Kinder, Kirche and
Kuche —children, church and kitch
en—and there is no question about
it that she seldom spoke on other
subjects when talking with me.
The Kaiserin came to me after
the war with America started, but
apparently she had felt some hesita
tion about doing so, because the
Kaiser told me shortly before her
visit that she intended coming, but
pointed out that she had decided to
do so only upon his recommenda
tion.
In June, 1917, I received a letter
from the Kaiserin's physician, en
closing one which he said had been
written by the Kaiserin, but which
was both unsigned and unaddressed.
It requested me to visit the royal
palace at Homburg v. d. Hohe,
which, in connection with the ad-
Joining town of Kreuznach, was then
the location of the grcjjit army head
quarters.
I got in touch by long distance
telephone with one of the Kaiserin's
ladles-in-waiting at Homburg and I
told her I could leave the following
Friday for that town, but later a
telegram came advißing me to post
pone my trip to the following week.
I arrived at Frankfort-on-the-
Main, where it was necessary for me
to stop off about midnight to catch
an early train for Homburg. At tho
hotel where I sought to engage a
room for the night, the clerk asked
me for my pass, and when he saw
that I was an American refused to
assign me a room until I had regis
tered at the local station, which was
some six blocks away. The streets
were darkened as a precaution
against air raids, and I found the
police station with difficulty. When
I finally came to it it was closed.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A CINDERELLA LETTER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 17 and lost my mother a few
months ago. I am keeping house for
the rest of the family and am not at
all satisfied, because, when I try to
correct my younger sister, who is
very wild, they stick up for her. Now,
Miss Fairfax, I am fond of home and
family, but I am treated like a mere
servant and receive nothing for my
work. I am going about with a
young man a few years my senior,
and he knows of all this and wishes
to marry me. He has introduced mo
to his family. Now what is your ad
vice?
MISS UNHAPPY.
So many girls write me this type
of letter that I am honestly puzzled.
Is the little housekeeper unduly sen
sitive as the result of overwrought
nerves, work and the strain of the
hot weather, and are things really as
bad as they seem to her?.
It is incredible in these days of
labor famine to think of such work
being unappreciated by one's family.
In the present Instance, I wonder if
It would not be better for some older
member of the family to admonish the
"Wild" younger sister. She might be
Inclined to take It with better grace.
And 17 seems "terribly" young to
marry to escape from uncongenial
surroundings. Why not talk the mat
ter over with some tried older friend,
or your priest, or minister; some one
acquainted with you, personally, ought
to have a better grasp of the situation.
Sometimes things that seem so bit
ter to youth are nothing more than
the daily grind of life. Married or
single, these things pursue one.

THE IDEAL WIFE
One cf the most successful meai
of this country recently wrote*
"Whatever I am, and whatever suc
cess I have attained, I owe it all
to my wife. She has ever been an
inspiration and the greatest help
mate of my life." To be such a
successful wife should be the ambi
tion of every woman, but how im
possible when dragged down' by
headaches, backache, dragging-down
pains, nervousness and "the blues."
Every woman fn this condition
should start at once to build up hef
system by a tonic of specific pow
ers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for
three generations has been restor
ing American women to health and
consequent happiness.
