"When a Girl Marries"
By ANN I.ISLB
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CLXVII
"Hop in, Baby," laughed Sheldon
seizing Phoebe by the elbow and swing
ing her into the place next to him at
the wheel, as we started on our trip
to Chinatown.
Again Dick West glowered, but be
fore long his rumbling laughter seemed
to convey the idea that Evvy was
managing to cheer him up as they sat
huddled so far in one corner of the
tonneau that I had most of the big
seat to myself.
Suddenly Tom Mason turned from the
chair seat he was occupying and gaug
ed first the empty space and then my
face in the semi-darkness.
"Always room for one more?" he
suggested in a wheedling voice.
"Please, no; I hate crowding," I re
plied in a matter of fact tone that
scotched the embryonic sentiment at
onee.
Tom paid no further attention to me,
and when we got to Cheng Fuey's. of
the sinister back entrance, and had
passed up into the lantern-hung dance
ball, he swung Evvy out on the dance
floor, while Sheldon followed with
Phoebe, leaving me to the now satur
nine Dick West.
"Dancing?" he asked.
"No," I replied as tersely.
"All right—l'm glad ; I want to talk
to you. Phoebe likes you. Why don't
you say a good word for your hun
band's partner?"
"Phoebe's a baby." I countered.
"So Blake calls her—but he doesn't
treat her like one."
"He's an old friend of .Tim's. , I ex
pect lie knew Fhoebe in the cradle," I
replied, trying to make light of the
situation.
"Well, he knows Rhe's out of the
cradle now—and a darn attractive girl.
And I'm Jim's partner—that ought to
entitle me to as many privileges..—
Mercifully then the music stopped.
Or perhaps it wasn't "mercifully," for
I was just on the point of telling Jim's
partner in rather plain English just
what I thought of him when our dancers
swung hack to join us.
"Next, Phoebe?" muttered Dick West,

thickly.
She nodded. In a moment I was left
with Tom Mason, who was very quiet
and dignified again. Presently Evvy
and Sheldon came back to the table.
But no Phoebe. I waited a .minute.
Then 1 esked anxiously:
"Where's Pheobe?"
"Oh, they sneaked down the back
stairs and disappeared. They ofter do
Phoebe likes snooping around the funny
little shops," replied Evvy with husky
sweetness. "And Dick's been saying
he had one or two favorite haunts he
wanted to show her."
I tried hard to make my voice calm
as I replied:
"Let's follow them. Play detectives."
Tom Mason shook his head, but his
voice was kind. '
"Better wait here. We couldn't find
them in a thousand years. Dick knows
his Chinatown, underground passages
and all. She's perfectly sate with
West."
But somehow I didn't feel that Phoebe
was safe with Dick West.
"We've been waiting for you. Run
and call Sheldon, Tommy," said Phoebe
without any trace of guilt. Anne, look
at my pretties. Dickie knew just where
to find 'em."
Depending frotn Phoebe's ears were a
magnificently carved pair of jade pend
ants—and about her throat was a long
chain of the same marvelous green.
Were they a gift from Dick West?
The lip-stick, the cheap familiarities
were bad enough, but was Pheobe ac
tually accepting such valuables from a
man?
(To Be Continued)
THE IDEA
"The powers talk now of demobi
lizing. Formerly, the theory was
that large armies and navies tended
to preserve peace."
"I suppose they are now of the
opinion that peace preserved that
way would turn out to be something
of a pickle instead."

J LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
...
What price an education, as a Cock
ney would say?
The only educntlon of any value is one
bought of curiosity.
At least, that is the opinion of a
big manufacturer, an acquaintance of
mine, who in the ramifications of his
business is brought into intimate con
tact with all sorts and conditions of
people. A shrewd observer, he likes to
generalise as a result of his experiences.
In the present instance he sought to
prove his point by citing the case of
two girls who were employed by him us
stenographers.
"When they first came to me," he
said, "they rated about equal as to
competence and education. Both were
rapid at shorthand, accurate in tran
scribing their notes, and knew how to
spell, paragraph and punctuate. So far,
there wns little to choose between them.
"But when it came to the quality of
their work a vast difference soon de-
veloped, and this, as I eventually rec
ognized, was due almost entirely to tem
perament.
"One girl was apparently quite con
tent to rest upon her outlook and at
tainments as they stood. She was con
scientious enough in what she did. but
| she never troubled to think what it was
about, or the purpose back of it. Her
attitude was purely passive, mechanical
in every way. And as I am peculiarly
sensitive to the character of the people
about me, this reacted upon me and
made it almost Impossible for me to dic
tate to her when I was thinking some
thing out, feeling my way, as it were.
"If I were lost for a word I never got
it from her. She'd stare out of the win
dow, bite her pencil in an abstracted
way or consider her fingernails, but
never give me a lead. I sometimes felt
like throwing a book at her to shatter
that unruffled placidity.
"But the other girl was one of those
alert, eager natures avid to comprehend
and fathom every new thing they en
counter. And she seemed to lift me
along, as one Is lifted and sustained by
a person walking in step with them. I
don't mean that she ever interrupted or
forced herself on my notice. But her
thought was with me—not a thousand
miles away, but right there on her work.
Interested and attentive: not rushing
me, but ready to follow at whatever
pace I set.
"She listened, and I knew she was
laying to heart whatever I said that
she felt would advance her or be to
her benefit. And, do you know, it was
a wonderful stimulus to me, spurring
me to do my best. I realized that she
was discovering the world of business
and Its methods through my eyes.
"One day she came to me and asked
me for the source of a quotation—'The
parliament of man. the federation of
the world'—which I had inserted in an
advertisement I was going over. I took
down a volume of Tennyson—for I keep
a few of the poets in my office library
for reference—and opening it at 'Bocks
ley Hall,' handed it to her.
"She brought the book back to me
after luncheon, having read the entire
poem in the meantime, and her eyes
were shining. She had found that 'vi
sion of the world, and all the wonder
that would be,' and was overwhelmed
by the prophecy of the 'nations' airy
navies grapping in the central blue,'
nnd raining down a 'ghastly dew.' She
would scarcely believe me when I told
her how long ago the lines had been
written, and seemed to think It almost
uncanny. How, she wondered, had the
poet ever thought of something so un
dreamed of at the time?
"She asked me If she could have the

book to read at other luncheon times,
and I encouraged her to discuss with
me the things that aroused her Interest.
She wasn't satisfied with merely reading
the poems, either, but wanted to know
and to read all about them. It put me
on my mettle to keep up with her. and
I never realised before what a liberal
education in English and American his
tory one can get by simply following
up Tennyson.
"Then I gave her Shelley, and It was
almost as much of a revelation to her
in a spiritual and metaphysical way as
Tennyson had been in the material.
She couldn't get over it that Shelley
had been ostracised for asserting things
that people to-day of every sect accept
without question.
"The insight of the poets, their ability
to foresee, continually pur.zled her. How
do they do it, she asked?
"And byway of answer I sent her
to the greatest poet of all and let her
read: 'The thing that hath been is
that which shall be. and that which is
done is that which shall be done ; and
there is no new thing under the sun.'
"Tennyson's 'argosies of magic sails,
pilots of the purple twilight dropping
down with costly bales,' seem clumsy, I
told her, when one recalls the Oriental
fantasies, such as that of Aladdin seated
on his enchanted carpet and being trans
ported whither he would in a second
of time. Any dream or hope that the
human mind formulated can always be
made possible of accomplishment.
"And I tried to show her that the rule
held in business, thnt It is for a vision
and a dream, not the mere piling up of
dollars, that men plan and labor. 'There
is no new thing under the sun." The
Ideas of Moses and Solomon and Caesar
and Columbus are as potent a commer
cial force to-day as those of J. Pierpont
Morgan or Henry Ford.
"She profited by my instruction," he
added a little ruefully, "or rather by
the self-education that she got through
her curiosity. 1 had to promote her to
a more responsible position, and I'd
be willing to wager that before she gets
through she'll be a successful execu
tive, or running a business of her own."
"And the other girl?" I asked.
"Oh, she is still chewing her pencil,
I guess, and staring out of the window.
But not in my office. I had to transfer
her to another department. She got on
my nerves."

There is really nothing to do about
it when a young man deliberately acts
this way but accept the situation and
make the best of it. You must see
that he is quite unworthy of your love
in pursuing this course and making
no explanation. I should go about
