"When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISLE t A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing * Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CI, Copyright, 1919, King Features Syn dicate, Inc. Once I had made up my mind to tell Terry nothing about the tragedy that was hanging over Betty my nervousness ceased. My decision was made and with it the further one that all thought of the ugly outcome of the operation on Betty's arm must he dismissed from my thoughts for the time being. That much I owed to Betty. Time enough later to grieve over the doctor's verdict; time enough later to try to help Betty reconcile herself to a useless right hand. This was the bride's day, and I must bring cheer and bright thoughts to it. , , It was after 8 when I came back from my walk through the pine woods. 1 breakfasted with the Matron of Grey friars Hall, who seemed in a regular feminine flutter over the romantic mar riage that was to take place in the pavalion, and presently Miss Moss came to tell me that I might see Betty. The bride herself wasn't a bit lluttery. She had the quiet joy and serenity of one who makes port after a stormy voyage. ... ,j "Anne." she asked blushingly, could you phone Virginia to, bring me down • some—'essentials.'" "Perhaps I could find your essen tials in that pretty little city we went through just before we got here. Terry went back to town by train and Tonys chauffer and car are here," I answered. "Oh, how splendid! Trontise not to laugh, but I do so want a marcel wave and a little green or orchid-color fluff to wear instead of these silly blue and pink negligees. Its odd enough to be married from a sick bed. but I don t want to wear a cap and look all lnvalid dy." "I'll go." I said, turning away to hide the mist in my eyes. Dear, dear Betty, whose besetting sin was vanity—how hard it would be for her to endure her chastening. After an hour of shopping. I returned, bringing my first gift to the bride—the loveliest piece of silvery, shlmmery pale green chiffon, a bit of orchid color to line it and lustrous satin ribbon to bind the edges. Betty exclaimed with joy when she saw my purchases, and my triumph was complete when in through tlio doorway came my other "purchase," the town's best marcel artist, whose services I had bought from the hair dressing establishment with before the war quality Hoffer's Best Flour now being sold by all grocers is the best flour on the market for home made bread and pastry rwwvw/ Garden Time Is Here!

I I cut and stitched and worked away lat the Matron's machine while Betty was marcelled and manicured and then I put gently to sleep at noon. I Terry had telephoned early in the j morning, and now he called again to l say he was just starting off with Vir j ginia, Tony. Jim and the minister, and I that his bride might expect him by 4. Even the sedative couldn't keep Betty asleep for long, and so by three she was propped up on her pillows trying on the cloudy little robe of orchid, shadowed by green, I had contrived to fashion for her. "Oh, you got her own color. Oh, my blessed lamb, you're as pretty a bride as ever I looked at." cried Miss Moss, whose tearfulness passed muster as the regular middle-aged feminine reaction to the wedding of a dear one. "Bet me see," fluttered Betty. So we unscrewed the mirror from the bureau and let her see her own sweetness. She didn't look like a stately green jade goddess to-day, but like a little wood-nymph tricked out for Spring. Phesently Spring arrived indeed. A messenger from the city came with box x after box of pussy-willows and pale pink Ophelia roses and sun-lit Aaron Burr and masses of sweetpeas. It seemed a little strange to me that the flowers were all pale yellow or bore a breath of dawn pink. There was never a lavender sweetpea nor yet a purple pansy nor an orchid, whose colors were Betty's own. | Baskets and vases of birch-bark and ; straw came with the messenger and ! slim holders for single stems. So we made a bower for our Betty, and then we tiptoed out and left her alone in it. _ Not until we were out of Betty's corridor did Miss Moss venture the ques tion that had been haunting her all ! day as I could guess. | "The Doctor told you?" I "Yes, Miss Moss." ! "He's going to tell Captain Winston?" I "No. He's leaving me to tell—any one who needs to know." I Not a spare word from either of I us. We couldn't. AVe didn't dare.

"I suppose they'll free her arm from splints and bandages in about a month. I I must ask the doctor." he concluded. "Oh—l'll do that for you. Terry!" I cried, knowing I had kept him away [ long enough to avert suspicion. "And now let's go back. And —you'll be mar ried and live happily ever after." "Yes." said Terry jubilantly.

LITTLE TALKS BY BEA TRICE FAIRFAX Do all true lovers love at first sight? It is the problem of the ages. It is the subject that every livet is endlessly willing to debate. It is the most fascinating of mysteries. To those that is, for whom it is a mystery at all. For there are sturdily dogmatic lovers in the worid who seem to understand this subject far better than you or I can ever do, and who will maintain in loud voices, so long as they live, that love at first sight is the only love. They'll champion love at first sight against armies of puzzled sceptics. It's their religion. I had almost said they would die for it. Yet it may be that you who read this would swear that you know the meaning of true love, yet lovo at first sight you know nothing of. Love unfolded in you gradually, you would say, like the delicate, slow, mysteri lOUS process of nature, rather than suddenly, violently, ilke an explo sion. Your love seems to be com pie'e. You're not conscious of its lacking any element. lot you are made uneasy and troubled by the sug gestion that there may be a glorious, electric super-love of which you know nothing, of which you never can know anything, a love that lifts mortals apart and fills their lives with an unimaginably wonderful something that if you could under stand you would profoundly envy. Docs Super-Love Exist? Of course, nothing of the sort may exist, >ou tell yourself. You're pret ty sure it doesn't. And yet vou wish people wouldn't talk about It. I'm unwilling to lessen your con tentment, to trouble your n.cllcvv ease, but what am T to do? The subject simply won't stay under cov er. It forces its way to the suif-.ce with a power that would amaze you.!

But they mav | learn to be profound lovers, for all that. Can it be that vlierc ate two ways of loving, two forever-to-be-dis- j tinguished types of lovers? And can't each love in his own way, without denying to the other* a "place in the sun" of love? Must all the world love at first sight. or perish unloving and un loved? 53 Villa Followers Mowed Down by Single Machine Gun in Battle Juarez, March 21.—Colonel J.
