"When a Girl Marries"

Problems of a Girl Wife

"Terry," I said sharply, when he
had finished the story of his tragic
meeting with Betty Brice, "you're
just what Jim called you—ghost
ridden. Otherwise you wouldn't be
acting as if Betty weren't—fane..
She's about the most practical,
sensible, dependable woman I've
ever met—and if that isn't sanity,
( don't know what is."
At the sound of my assured, un
poetlcal words. Terry looked up
with dogged gratitude and relief
dawning in his eyes. So I got my
thoughts in order and went on
slowly as if to a child:
"The trouble is that you've never
talked it over with her. If you'd
gotten it out into words instead of
letting it skulk in the back of your
mind, you wouldn't have been
haunted—yes. haunted—by the fact
that the first time you met Betty
took you for her dead husband.
Have you ever explained it to her
the way you did to me?"
"About the shell exploding back
f me and tumbling down the hill
—and the church by the roadside?"
asked Terry slowly. "No—l haven't,
i just worked it out for myself—
how I seemed to be reproducing
what she'd heard about Bryce fall
ing in his blazing car."
"Well —I thought so!" I said,

MONDAY EVENING.
very maternally. "Now, as soon as
she comes home you're going to
explain her —illusion to her. You're
going to lay the ghost—brush the
clouds away—talk it out, Terry. You
are! Anne says so."
Terry smiled wistfully.
"And does Anne say—Betty is
coming home?"
"She does," I declared.
But more than ever I doubted my
own word as the evening wore on
punctuated, first, by a message from
Carlotta, and then one from Vir
ginia. Carlotta had been utterly
defeated. She couldn't trace the
last phone call from Mrs. Bryce's
phone, but she begged us to think
up some way for her to help.
"She's a brick!" declared Terry
again.
Virginia's message was meant to
be very reassuring. Of course Betty
had merely gone out for the Vo
cational Education People again.
This wasn't the Red Cross at all—
it was a government bureau in
Washington. If we'd call them by
long distance in the morning she
was sure we'd get full information
about Betty'# itinerary.
Terry and I grasped at her the
ory and tried desperately to believe
it —but somehow we couldn't!
"It's getting on for midnight. I'd
better run along and let you get a
bit of sleep." said Terry, after we
had discussed Virginia's theory and
how silly we were not to remember
that Betty had gone over to the
I government bureau and how that
| showed we were completely rattled.
| "Oh, I won't sleep. I'll sit up and
wait for them. In fact, I think I'll
! sit up till about 10 a. m. and wait
for you to phone and tell me that
the Department for Vocational Edu
cation reports Mrs. Bryce in Scran
ton, Pa., or Fort Wayne, Ind., or
Houston, Tex., and safe on the job"
I said, with an effort to simulate
lightness of spirit such as I by no
means felt. "Jim said he'd be in
by eleven surely," I added. Terry
looked at his wrist watch and then
at me. Curiously enough there was
pity in his eyes. In the midst of
The Rival of Butter
In these days of increasing cost of
living, when such a staple food as
butter has climbed the price-ladder to
around 60c. a pound, it is pleasant to
find that the regular dairy product is
not the only thing we can spread on
our bread and buscuits. Benefit Brand
"Sweet Nut" Margarine is the logical
follower of butter and has already
taken the place of it in thousands of
our best families. This new table
luxury costs only 350 a pound at
Tamsui Tea Co.'a 331 Market St., up
1 flight Harrisburg, where Benefit
Brand Teas, Coffees and Grocery
Specialities are retailed at wholesale
prices. The price seems to be about
the only thing that's different from
good butter. Try it the next time you
need butter and let the family de
cide.
Look for our store in your town.

his own agony I could see that he
was sorry for me.
"It—is later than that, Anne.
Nearer twelve "
Then Jim walked. On the very
threshold he stopped, threw back
his head and laughed—a little
coarsely, it seemed to my over-sen
sitive nerves. After a minute, he
spoke:
"Well, by Jove, Princess Anne—
you're a winner. No lonesomeness
in your, girlie—eh, what? So it's
Terry now—good old Terry."
Then he went off into another
gale of good-natured but offensive
laughter. Terry crossed the room
and seized Jim by the sagging
shoulders.
"Jimmie—old top—l'm in
trouble," he said, gravely.
Jim's face sobered and his eyes
darkened with -feeling.
"I'm here, Terry—and the little
girl there—she's been your friend
from the first. We'll stand by what
ever it is. Won't we, Anne?"
"Jim! My Jim!" I cried exultant
ly, "I knew It! I knew you'd stand
by Terry—that he could count on
you to the last "
"Thanks," said Terry briefly.
"It's Betty—Jim. She's gone."
"Gone? Gone where?" asked Jim
curtly—in a businesslike tone.
"We don't know."
• Jim looked from one to the other
of us, as Terry and I fairly cho
russed our answer.
"Well, where would she be but on j
her* Job —waking the country up
to the needs of its crippled men—
Jobs, not bouquets; as my own arti
cle tersely put it?" he asked im
patiently.
"But don't you see. Jim. Betty
was back in town last night, came
back mysteriously, had dinner with
Anne and Norreys, neither of whom
got a thing out of her —and then
disappears this morning."
"Terry," Jim interrupted, "for the
love of common sense, don't babble
like an old woman. Call up Wash
ington in the morning and you'll
find Betty's all right Was there
a letter for me, Anne—a typed let
ter? I was looking for something
important. If you'll excuse me for
a second, Terry "
As I handed Jim his letter, my
eyes met Terry's—hurt, baffled, in
dignant. Jim had just declared
that he'd stand by. Was he ab
sorbed in his own affairs, or did he
mean to help Terry?

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
Does the mere consciousness that
she is loved content a woman?
Or does she long to be dominated
are subdued to be loved with an in
sistent and tempestuous fury? Does
she yearn, in short, for what one of
my latest correspondents calls the
"cave-man stuff?" 4
It depends upon the woman.
There will always be women who
will be content with a formal woo
ing, and there will always be others
whose temperaments will demand
that love pursue and overmaster
them.
To my mind, the young lover who
has just written me displays some
thing more than the usual masculine
insight in guessing what it is that
his sweetheart unconsciously de
mands.
"I am twenty-three,' he writes me,
"and have a good position and sal
ary on which I could easily support
a wife and home. I am in love with
a girl who I think loves me. But
when I spoke to her of marriage she
evaded the question. We have been
going about for about two years.
"Must I use the 'cave-man stuff' in
order to win her? Or give her up? ]
But why give her up, my dear
young man, when you love her and
understand so perfectly what she
wants? Unless, perhaps, you are
conscious of a defect in your own
temperament. Perhaps you yourself
haven't yet fully learned what love
is.
Women Without Temperament.
There are plenty of women, un
troubled by what we call tempera
ment, who are content to lead a cool,
formal, external sort of life. They
compare their suitors from the
standpoint of prudence, and they are
capable of marrying a man for
whom they have merely a gentel lik
ing, because they want to get settled
in life. They enjoy the distinction of
being engaged and the pleasant fuss
of being married, and they delight
in settling up the machinery and
ceremonial of housekeeping. And
they expect the lover to play his part
acceptably in this series of rites.
But they are quite willing that he
shall express all the emotion he has
through flowers, candy and jewelry.
They are relieved if they find that
lovemaking can be reduced to a min
imum.
Life isn't a drama to them, or a
song. It's a business that they want
to manage as shrewdly as possible,
and with an economical expenditure
of emotional strength.
But this isn't the sort of girl my
correspendent has fallen in love
with.
He has found a girl who is con
genial mentally and who is an enter
taining companion and who seems to
him fair to look upon. He realizes
that he is of marriageable age and
that he has a comfortable income.
He suggests, politely and consider
ately, that they establish a domestic
partnership. Perhaps he is just a
little light and casual and Incidental
in making this sugestion of his, be
cause he doesn't wish to put himself
in the position of being rebuffed.
Why Hasn't He Won Her?
But he doesn't expect the girl he
has chosen to be light, also. That
she should decline to discuss the
matter is something he isn't prepar
ed for. He knows she likes him. He
believes she has good reason to.
What in the world can be the matter
with her? He gives the matter a
good deal of thought.
At last a suspicion comes to him.
This girl friend of his isn't like some
other girls he has known. She has a
heart. She has emotions. There is
something very real about her. If
she promised to love a man, she
would mean it.
Can it be that before she makes
any such promise, she expects to be
made love to?
To tell the truth, though, he be
lieves himself in love; he shrinks
from love-making. That is, he'd like
very much to kiss her once or twice
and give her an engagement ring and
cultivate a sense, of possession in re
gard to her.
But love-making in the grand
style, love-making that demands
phrases he knows he could never
think of, dramatic scenes and serious
promises and excessive protestations,
and above all, that high-handed way
of beating down a woman's more or
less faint resistance that he rather
flippantly refers to as "cave-man
stuff" —well, frankly, all that isn't in
his line.
It's too much to ask of him, he
thinks. Isn't it enough if you ex
press a wish to marry a girl? Ought
not that to content her? Why need
she be coy and evasive? Why need
she hold out for something that he
hasn't got to offer?
Counterfeiting IJOVO.
Shall he confess that he hasn't it?
Or shall he pretend that he has?
That is, shall ho "fake" his love
making. Or shall he withdraw from
the situation altogether, and when
the time comes round console him
self with a different type of girl?
Frankly, It is a problem.
One can't soberly counsel a young
man of the easy-going, unemoutlonal
type to counterfeit the emotions of
a "cave-man," whatever they may
be, in order to take the girl ha wants
to marry by storm. Doubtless he
wouldn't succeed, anyway. Any de
ception Is a very poor way of prov
ing one's self a lover.
The truth is that there isn't any
short cut to .the heart of a girl who
wants to be wooed before she gives
her love. So I am afraid the young
man who wishes everything settled
in a business-like, five-minute con
versation. who thinks serious wooing
is a matter of 100 much time and
trouble and temperament, will either
have to abandon the girl his eye is
fixed on and choose a shallower type,
or else he will have to wait until

love stirs more profoundly In him
self.
And when he does really love, we
all know that love-making won't
seem the burden to hint that It does
now, a thing to jest>about and avoid
if one possibly can. All the suddenly
awakened "cave-man" will spring to
the surface. And all he will ask for
will be the opportunity to pursue his
swift and determined wooing.
Perhaps this will never happen.
Perhaps he will never know the
deepest meaning of love. In that
case, I hope he may find some girl
who will demand no more than he
can give, and that if their life to
gether doesn't prove highly inter
esting, it will at least be tranquil.

Holdup Club Men
and Take Their Money
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 10.—Entering
the Spruce Street Club at Prospect
Heights, just outside of this city,
with drawn revolvers, four masked
men early to-day held up fifteen
members of the club and escaped
with $5,000 in money and jewelry.
The bandits relieved their victims of
everything of value and took all the
money in the place. One of the hold
up men is reported to have been rec
ognized as a former member of the
club.
