the Rjwilxj j|Pf| " When a Girl " By ANN LISI.E A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife (Copyright, 1918, by King's Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Chapter XLVI Before Virginia's .dinner at the Roehambeau was over I issued invi tations to our postponed family din ner. And all during the day of my party while I was deep in nervous yet hopeful preparations for it, I remembered Jim's delight because I leaned aqyoss the table in the little card room issuing a laughing man date to Betty and Terry: "You two are included because you're our closest friends —Jim's 'war family.' So you'll break all en gagements and come, won't you?" They accepted and Virginia cried with real enthusiasm: "How jolly of you. Anne, and how equally jolly ot you two to cancel your appointments lor us." The first thing I had done to win Virginia's complete approval was to Invite Betty'Brice to dinner. That came to me next day with such force it almost caused me to drop the fish-ring I was examining with terror lest for the first time in BETTER THAN MEL Thousands Have Discovered I Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets I areaHarmlessSubstitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards's determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the troublear.d quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc withthegums. Sodo strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver.

I rescued the mold, put it back on the ice prayerfully and advanced to the next course —chicken en casse ' role. By the time that was steaming away with a savory promise, my shortcake was ready to come out of the oven and cool a bit in anticipa tion of its gentle burial beneath peaches and cream. Then dame a flurry of final prep aration—setting the table, dressing and ■ superintending Jim's tie and Neal's hair. After that came the delicate task of greeting the guests in a manner that would seem unflurried and make Jim proud of his wife and full of delicious anticipation anent her party. It started with fine promise when Terry arrived and said in his rich, delightful voice: "I can see that this is going to be a top-hole party!" And it was—at first. When Virginia praised my cook ing, I thought I should expire of Joy. To think of stately Virginia's dis cussing mere food. All through din ner I felt exuberantly uncertain that my party was a real success. Even the percolator worked and the cream poured out thick and rich. The janitor's wife came up to do the dishes for me—and after Phoebe, and Neal and I had cleared the re fractory table and had returned to "play lady," as Neal put it some one suggested that we have a go at poker. That "some one" was Jim. He insisted on teaching me the game. I detest all card games ex cept bridge, and was on the verge of insisting that I'd prefer to stay out, when I caught a glimpse of Neal and Phoebe —happily esconced on the couch, quite absorbed in each other. So I played poker. Or tried to. The game ended abruptly an hour later—for suddenly Virginia discov ered that happy little group of two, PERFECT WOMANHOOD Perfect womanhood depends on perfect health.

She sent Phoebe into the bedroom for her bag, settled her score and then strolled over to the couch and sat down in the mid dle of it with a complete air of in tending to remain there. From the moment of her first move to end the poker game Jim surprised me. "Virginia, don't be a spoil-sport," he protested irritably. This to his beloved Virginia—and he followed it by stubbornly insisting that Betty and Terry continue the game. But Betty wooed Terry away with a smile and said she also felt "chatty." "All right, then, let the girls gos sip—but shoot a few dice with me, Terry." he urged. Betty and Terry exchanged a quick glance—and then the English man said he'd rather talk and get acquainted. "How about you, Neal?" asked Jim, moistening his lips nervously as he produced a little black cylin der from his cardbox "I'm with you," said Neal. Routed from Phoebe's side, he gladly seized the chance of getting into Jim's good graces. "I'll match you for the first throw." Jim tossed a penny on the table, covered it with his hand and watched Neal intently. Neal brought a coin from his pocket, shook it between clasped palms and lifted his right hand to show the Indian head— while Jim's coin lay with the date up. Good boy, Neal. You win." Jim's voice was hard, yet feverish. Neal shook the dice box. Out came a pair of three, i Jim was breathing heavily as he crouched over the table with his eyes a-glitter. Again Neal tossed the little cubes out on the table —and now a six , rolled into sight, followed by a four. I felt Jim stiffen —and relax. The last toss was a five and a four. Jim raked in the two quarters that lay before him and suggested doubling the stakes. A moment later he was laughing nervously as a one and then a six rolled out at his first light flirt of the dice box. | "Better luck next time, kid!" he exclaimed, but his hands trembled as he handed the box back to Neal. Again Neal lost. Jim clutched the coins eagerly and laughed—a dry, reckless laugh. As he sat there, with his hair tossed into a tumbled mass and his eyes fairly burning on Neal and the dice and the Jumbled pile of bills and coin in front qf him, I became aware of the strange si lence in the room. The only thing that broke it was Jim's staccato laughter and the rattle of the dice. Suddenly Virginia rose: "Jimmie. dear, will you take me home? I've a lot of work to do at the apartment to-morrow —and I want to ask you about some of it. We'll walk and get a bit of air. Mrs. Brice and the Captain will drive Phoebe over, I'm sure." No one protested at her strange arrangements. Jim loti'ked up—almost dazed. "Then he got to his feet and though he staggered against the table for a moment, still the wonted sweet smile struggled back to his face as he assured Virginia that he'd really like advising her. He looked down at the .pile of money almost as if weighing it, then he reached out a hand* his fingers closed to a fist, but instead of open ing it to seize the money he pushed it toward Neal "Take it, Neal —It's yours," he muttered. And though there were gracious good-bys after that, and reminders of the Motor Cup races for which Captain Terry has invited us next day, my evening seemed to end with the moment Jim pushed the money he had won from him back to Neal. My good-nights were automatic. Still automatically I crossed the window and strained my eyes into the darkness for a glimpse of Jim. What was she saying to him —this sister he loved? Did the dice game that had terrified me mean anything to her? Would a worry shared bring us close or make her shut me out behinds walls of reserve? And while I stood pondering and wondering, I felt a strong young arm fling itself across my shoulders. Neal —my brother Neal. Virginia had shut him off from Phoebe, yet he said nothing of his own hurt, and merely stood with his arm about me offering his silent sympathy. 'How good it was to feel that whatever came, I had Neal. But as I turned to smile at my brother the pile of coins winked up at me maliciously from the corner of the table where Jim had played his game.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WILHELM WAGED WAR WITH WORDS Ex-Kaiser's Utterances Ran Scale From Arrogance to Desperation Prominence is given by the Brit ish newspapers to some of the utter ances made by former Emperor William while the war was in prog ress, including the following: 1014 "Before the leaves fall from the trees we shall be back again in the dear fatherland. Exterminate first the treacherous English and walk over General French's contemptible little army. The warlike spirit still lives in the German people—that powerful spirit which attacks the enemy wherever it finds him regard less of the cost. "You, my troops, are my guaran tee that I can dictate peace to my enemies. Up and at the foes! God's goodness will guide the German peo ple through battle to victory—to the goal appointed for the German peo ple by Providence. I have drawn the sword, which without victory and without honor I cannot sheathe again. We stand wlt"h our hearts toward God—to the dust with all the enemies of Germany. Amen." 1915 . "Our brave soldiers have shown themselves to be invincible in battle against nearly the whole world. The war drama now is coming to its close." I To the King of the Senussi he | said: "Our common enemies whom A lah wilL annihilate to the last man shall fly before thee. So be it." Regarding the United States the Emperor declared: "America had better look out after the war. X shall stand no nonsense from the Americans. My destructive sword has crushed the Russians, ln a short while I will announce new victories. The war drama now is coming to its close. In a just cause I am ready to force myself to be cruel." 1016 "The world was prepared for any thing but a victory of the German fleet over the British fleet. Fear will creep into the bones of the enemy. "Bucharest has been taken. What a magnificent success on the road to complete victory has been gained I with God's help! "Germany Is invincible in spite of 1 the superior numbers of our enemies and every day confirms this anew. Germany knows her strength and she relies on God's help. "The foe is defending his native soil foot by foot. This is the resist ance of despair, but it must be broken. He has prepared his soup and now he must sup it. I look to you to see to it. "All Qermany contemplates with pride her brave sons whose deeds with God's help will be a landmark on the road to final victory." 1017 "If the enemy does not want peace, then we must bring peace by battering in with iron fist and shin ing sword the doors of those who will not have peace. "Victory in the coming year will again be on our side and on that of our allies. If only we cast the bur den on the Lord. He will smite the foe hip and thigh as he did Amalek, the prototype of perfidious England. "Our U-boats are not going to rest until, with God's help, the enemy is beaten. With the help of God, who has hitherto graciously protected us, the enemy shall have a decision. "England is particularly the en emy to be struck down, however dif ficult it may be. "The year 1917, with its great bat tles, has proved that the German people has in the Lord of Creation above an unconditional and avowed ally on whom It can absolutely rely." 1018 June—"God, the has laid a heavy burden on my shoulders, but I can carry it in the consciousness •of our good right with confidence in our Hharp sword and our strength." September—"The military and moral strength and the unanimous determination of the German people must and will succeed, with God's help, in breaking the more and more openly manifested will to destruction of the enemy, who Is charging upon us from all parts of the earth." October —"The hour is grave, but, trusting in your strength and in God's gracious help, we feel our selves to be strong enough to defend our beloved fatherland." Declares the Lowering of Wartime Wages Essential \>v York, Nov. 14.—Abolition of the national eight-hour day and a lowering of wartime scales are es sential If American mines and factor-' les are to continue to compete In the world of trade, according to William H. Barr, of Buffalo, president of the National Founders' Association, who addressed the annual convention of the organisation here yesterday. Declaring the liquidation of labor to be "the first and greatest problem which will demand the attention of our Industry," Mr. Barr counseled the meating of this problem "without resentment or bitterness." LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED The old cynical saying,' '"When Poverty comes in at the door Love flies out of the window," is not al ways true. As a matter of fact. Love has oft en been strengthened and saved, sometimes even been born out of the pity and sympathy and the drawing closer together due to financial re verses. What is true is that Love is very apt to fly before the advent of Stingi ness and Unfairness.'* The success 6f marriage is almost always an economic problem. With that phase of it satisfactorily settled, the other phase can generally be trusted to take care of themselves. The man who doles out the house keeping allowance as if he were giv ing alms; the woman who lets the bread-bill slide to spend the money on some bit of extravagance; the man who grouches about expense at I home and poses as a "prince" at j downtown bars; the woman who will I have, regardless of the amount of ( her husband's income—these are re sponsible for more separations and disagreements than all the vampires and novels and plays and moving and soul-mates put together. All the free-verse and free-love pictures and theoretical piffle of ev ery sort cannot change the faat that marriage is a business enterprise and as with every other business enter prise, it's success is almost entirely a matter o'f straight book-keeping. .As an exhibit along this line, I present the experience of one of my correspondents. Her letter, in con trast to most of those I reoeite, deals not with difficulties but with results, and is so clear-headed and suggest ive that I am sure it will be help., ful to many. "My dear Mrs. Woodrow, - ' she writes, "I am alwuys interested in your articles, and as you are asking your readers for some suggestions about the allowance problem I would like to. give a few practical idea. .'ln most cases I feel sure that the wife herself is chiefly in the blame. A man—if he is any man at all — will not fuss about added expense, but will admire his wife the more if she will only come to him in a straightforward businesslike fasnion I —hot complaining or fault-tinding, I but in a cheerful mood —and show ■ him by facts and figures why it is necessary for her -to have a larger I weekly amount on which to run the house. "Of course, this applies only to wives who are acquainted with the exact amount of their husbands' in comes and who know that he can afford to be more generous. But ev ery wife should "be acquainted with the amount of the income—other wise she is not a partner, but a de- i pendent. "In any case, though, let her drive ' out of her consciousness any expec- i | tation of fear dr injustice, let her I tell herself that she is entitled to a square deal and feci that she is go ing to get it; and if she approaches him in this attitude she will surely win. 1 "The following very satisfactory plan was suggested to me by my Hooray For Banana Peel "Gets-rt Only Real Way to Get Rid of Corns.

"This is our system: On the Ist and 15tli of each month we reckon the amount of money niy 'husband has on hand and set aside sums necessary to cover our household ex penses—the rent and the bill of the butcher, baker and candlestick maker. Then a certain fixed per centage is retained for deposit in tho bank - against a possible emergency and for saving. The remainder we divide equally between ourselves. "We both keep strict account of what we septn, and for any mutual pleasure an outing, visit to the theatre or movies, etc.—each pays halt the expense, including cart'ure, luncheon candy or whatever may come up. "It has proved such a fine busi ness arrangement that I wish oth ers would try it. There are no more disagreeable times when the bills cume in; 110 '1 can t see what you do with all the money I give you; you never have anything to show for it.' I will state, too, that our income is not very large—less than it was before we adopted this plan—but somehow we have more and get more pleasure out of it than in the old days.
