I'm sure my fingers flew as fast as ever did those of our soldier boys to adjust the gasmasks from the "Alert" position. And by twenty min utes past seven I was all ready except a pin or two Jim must adjust for me. My own reflection in the mirror con soled me a bit. My cheeks were flushed and my eyes bright from the excitement and hurry I had just gone through. My neck-white and slim over the gray chif fon ; the soft silky stuff cast a' silvery radiance across my throat and shoul ders and hung in graceful folds over the swishing taffeta—the girdle lot pas tel shades really looked like a French touch. I hurried out to the living room to wake Jim with a kiss. I had begun to understand what a nervous strain he'd been undergoing for days. Those two hours of whirling along at top speed ! and alternating between hope and fear that my dress would come out right, were about one per cent, of what Jim been going through while chasing For tune's car—wondering if his big deal would end in ruin or success. And all Jim's ugliness to me could be explained In terms of his sudden nervous let down when the hours of waiting were ever drowned with. success. So all malice—all anger and all hurt were wiped from my memory when, I went out to wake Jim. and ask him to add the finishing touch of a friendly pin or two to my costume. "Wake up Mr. de Millions and play lady's maid to your wife," said I. "Franchette the re;#l maid is getting out my errine coat and furs." I had no more than said the words, when I longed to recall them. I could anticipate Jim's reply. "Cut out late would-be-humor, Anna," Jim rose, stretched his arms above his head and turned lazily to inspect me. My heart gave a liopskip-and jump. How handsome he was as he stood there with his white shirt-sleeved arms stretched above his dark head! Why must we quarrel and hurt each other and drift apart on the tide of our angry, irritated words? I loved my boy—he had once adored me. Why couldn't we learn to accept each other and adjust ourselves to the daily task of living together? At the thought of all we had lost. I sank down in a chair and shut my hands over my face. I wanted to con jure back the poverty in which we had been so rich. Suddenly Jim's right arm went about my shaking shoulders, and his left hand tilted my head back against his heart, I nestled close against him— what peace. "Poor little tired girl." he said, ten derly. "How those clever Angers must have flown! You're beautiful, dear beautiful! I'm proud of you, my clever little Lilac Princess. I leaned against my Jim's heart— happy! I Wanted to sob. I wanted to laugh. And a little of both got into my voice as I whispered: "How rich' we are, dear—how very rich—we have eacli other." I Jim's fingers slid up under my hair ! and lay. electric and vibrating against jmy forehead for a second. When he | drew me to my feet. His tender mood I was succeeded by my—a practical one.

Her failure to do this gave Honora an opportunity for a word alone with the caller. "Good-evening," she said, coming into the library, where Arthur was seated. "Mildred will bo down In a minute." As he rpse and stood before her she had to pause to summon courage for her next speech. "Do not mind, Ar thur," she began at last, "if Milly is a little out of sorts to-night. This mat ter of the war—and various men she knows enlisting—has, perhaps, gotten a bit on her nerves." , The man's face lighted eagerly. "Is she unhappy for fear I will go?" ".Oh, no, not a bit 1" Honora disclaim ed hastily. "I mean," as she saw his expression change. "I do not think she is afraid—that is—she knows you cannot leave home just now." "I wish I could!" he declared sombrely. "You would find it hard to leave Milly," she reminded him. "Not so hard as staying away from the place where all men must long to be," he demurred. "Then you love your country more than Milly?" .. Honora had not meant to ask this. But the idea came to her mind so sud denly that it expressed itself in words before she was aware of it. "Your voice sounds as if you hoped I did." the man accused. "That was not a fair question, Honora." Two Different Things "I know it was not," she admitted contritely. "I did not intend to ask it. It was. moreover, a foolish thing to suggest. A man's love for a woman and for his country are two very different things." Then she went out into the hall to call Mildred, her thoughts in a turmoil. She had hoped to make things easy for Arthur, and she had only complicated them. Yet regretful as she was the con viction was in her mind that this man did not love her sister more than every thing in the world. #lf he had. coupled with his desire to go to the war, would be the dread of leaving Mildred. He and Mildred were engaged. Hon ora reminded herself, fiercely. Then she remembered Mifdred s comments at table to-night. Surely, she did not really love Arthur! But the fact remained that the pair expected to marry each other. That was the only feature of the case that should concern Honora. She would leave the rest alone, o{ try to. Meanwhile Mildred descended to the library, slowly, as one who is not over eager to meet her lover. "How do you do 1" she said. "Ex cuse me for keeping you waiting for a while. I wanted to finish a letter I am going to ask you to mail.. I will put it here on the mantel. Do not forget it, please." "I won't." he promised. .

Instead, he kissed her, and she allowed him to do so with out returning his caress. It was plain that her thoughts were elsewhere. "By the way." she asked when the pair were seated and had been talking for a few minutes, "do you know what '"B. E. F." stands for?" " 'B. E. F.' " he repeated. "Where did you see it?" "It's a part of a friend's address," she explained. "He's In the Canadian j Army." / MiUlrcd Irritated j "Oh, I see," Arthur remarked. "It j stands for 'British Expeditionary j Forces,' I think." | He asked no questions. His lack of curiosity irritated his companion. She I would try to arouse him. j "Poor chap!" she soliloquized.

It was very exasperating. "I am fond of him." Mildred went on, desperately. "Indeed, I admire any man who is brave enough to do his duty as Harold has done his." This struck home, for Arthur flushed. "I remember your intimating that be fore," he observed. "1 think we agreed then, however, that there are variouß other duties by which a man may be confronted." "I did not agree to that. And any way, that was before our own country went intt the war," she said. "Now that we are in it, it alters everything." "Everything?" he asked quickly. "What do you mean?" "I mean," -she explained, "that if I were a man I would enlist to-morrow. To tell the truth, Arthur. I do not un derstand how any of you young fellows can keep out of ii all." "Some of us have responsibilities that w4 cannot evade Just yet," he averred. She repeated his last words. "Just yet! Yes. I can understand that may very well be true. But I am sure you are planning to arrange things so that you can go as soon as you get your affairs adjusted. I am certain that must be your intention—knowing you as I do. It I did not think that, Arthur" She paused. "Well?" he questioned. "Go on!"

Multitudes of women have sup posed this to be the case, and have acted on it. Girls who marry your.g are particularly likely to have this idea, to believe they're going to be better wives by ridding themselves of every Interest in the world but one. I believe any truly wise woman would tell you that this is a seriously mistaken view. Girls who have a pretty talent for music radiantly announce to you, as soon as they become brides, that they are "giving up" the piano or singing in order to devote themselves utterly to their husbands and their homes. Studious girls boast that they are going to give up reading and educat ing themselves, athletic girls reck lessly fling away their tennis rackets and skates. Girls successfully start ed in a trade or business or profes sion throw it all overboard in a twinkling. Indeed there are girls who go a great deal farther than this. Not content with the inevitable separa tion from the family group they have grown up in. these -foolish young creatures plan practically a lifelong isolation with the man they are to marry. Friends are cast into the scrap-heap along with interests and 1 accomplishments. "I'm giving up my really close, In timate friend?," a young bride de- I clared to me the other day. "I think after a girl is married she doesn't need any friends but her husband." Making t nurxelf Uninteresting Now what does this really mean? Does it mean that a girl really ex pects to give twelve or fourteen hours a day to cooking and sock darning, that this wonderful new life of love and promise is to be merely an uninterrupted round of drudgery? She would deny hnytbing of the sort. Or does she have an undefined be lief that site is making herself more attractive, more desirable, by oblit erating her own mind and personal ity as far as possible and becoming a sort of blotting-paper to the ex pression of her husband's ideas and interests? . Or does she think it's part of the pomp and state of being married to parade Jhe fact that a woman who is equipped with a husband has only domestic accomplishments anil only "wifely" notions. Not many men nowadays marry with the idea of providing them selves with an expert domestic ser vant. And 1 hope there aren't many women who are willing to be mar ried for that purpose alone. Sensible men and women marry because they love each other, be ! cause they expect to help each other, and because they hope to be the par ents of beautiful, healthy children. And Isn't it perfectly plain that a woman can't possibly become a ca pable wife and mother just by mak ing herself uninteresting? In fact, just the contrary is true. If you who read this' are at that delicate and perilous moment of be ginning your married life, that mo ment when it is so easy to make grave mistakes and sri hard to repair them—let me urge you not to "give up" anything that will make life richer and wider and more signifi cant. Try to Enlarge Your I.lfe You will need all the interests you can lay hold of.. Don't Imagine that marriage can be made successful by continual love-making alone. ltnn't subject your husband to the strain of making him think for two. Be an independent personality. If your object in marriage is to keen your husband's love, you'll have] to find some other way of doing thisi than by merely being pretty and "cute." If you know anything about! music or books or business or out- | doors, hold fast to it. You can make it your contribution to married life. You can make married com panionship a matter of healthy give and-take. It's the marriages con ducted on that principle that are the successful ones. And as for giving up your friends merely in order to concentrate on your husband, I assure you that you should have Just the opposite aim.

And this is a thing to avoid, if possible. Instead of stripping your life of friends, you should try to make your new hom e a centre of friendship. Make it a gathering place that will have a real and precious meaning, not only to you two who love each other, but to your whole circle. And let the circle grow all the time. Eighteen-year-old brides don't of ten face the fw?t of marriage as a whole. They are even sometimes so ■ child-like and short-sighted that they fail to take motherhood into account. Equipment for Motherhood They are so occupied with being made love to that they don't think very much about that glorious privi lege ahead of them. Their imprac tical plan, in fact, is to shut them selves up in a very new little home and be made lov e to for a 'lifetime. But even if this plan would work, which it doesn't, what a poor prepa ration for motherhood it implies. A mother who has given up friends, interests,, talents, occupations, ideas, in the mistaken belief that this is a wife's duly naturally will have noth- | j ing left to give those eager ques- J I tioning babies of hers who are short- j Jy coming to cluster about her and j ask her for those very things that she has "given up!" Do you suppose that your respon sibility as a mother is ended when you've seen that the milk bottles are scientifically clean and the baby has fresh air and warm clothing? It's only just begun. "You can't be any sort of a mother unless your children believe in you. I Unless they find you are a real per- \ son, who understands things and who ! does things.
