"When a Girl Marries"
By ANN LISLE!
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
"Neal!" I cried, "Neal!" As I
rushed across the room, I saw Phoebe
out of the tail of my eye. She was
standing like a little statuette, still
and Impassive—but the Jado neck
lace shook in her hand and swayed
In out against her slim body.
"Hurry, Anne —hurry!" she cried
suddenly in a throaty whisper. "He
can't come in here. Hurry. And
close the door so 1 can dress."
As I turned in the doorway she
was still standing like a stiff, carved
figure, but the blur of the green J
necklace was gone. Afterward 1
realized that it lay huddled on the
floor at her feet. Hut then 1 ficw to
Neal. And in another moment 1 Vvas
in his arms.
How that precious young brother
of mine hugged me. How strong
and sturdy his arms were. It was
good on a magic carpet in answer
to my wish.
"Well, Kubbsie," he cried at last,
holding me off at arms' length and
studying me with quiet, steady eyes
from which the old boyish mischief
and bravado seemed wiped out.
"Neal—you're gorgeous!" I cried.
"And you got your commission. And
kept it a secret. Oh, Lieutenant ily
land—you're splendid!"
"Yeah, I got my commission.
Babbsie. Much good it does me.
I'm one of those after-the-armistice
near-soldiers."
"You're whole!" I said fervently
"And here! And I'm happy, happy
to have you—untouched."
"Untouched!" echoed Neal with a
world of scorn in his voice. "Whole i

TUESDAY EVENING,
down on the couch, stuck a cigarette
between his lips and lighted it—all
before I sank down facing hint on the
couch.
"There," I said. "Now Lieutenant
Hyland, 1 salute you."
Then 1 kissed him on the forehead,
and all the more tenderly because he
didn't know who was in the next
room—nor yet just how "out of luck"
he was.
"It's a great salute, Babbs, and
you scent like performing it about
as well as the average shave-tail
lieutenant," said Neal, rubbing his
forehead quite like his old self.
Now cut out the mush, Babbs, and
tell me the news. How's every little
thing? llow's Jim and every
body?"
"Everyone's all right," I jerked
out, wondering how 1 was going to
break it to Neal that Phoebe was in
the other room. "But it's you who
have all the news to tell. Hov's
Father Andrew? When did you see
him? Are you still in the army?.
When did you"
"Whoa! Whoa! Don't giddy tip
so fast. I'll take you. in order. I
left Father Andrew at nine yesterday
morning feeling line and loving his
Babbsie-girl 'bout as well as ever and
calculating he'd have to come on and
call on Iter pretty soon. Now what
next?"
"You saw Father Andrew only
yesterday!" i repeated, wishing my
magic carpet had spirited him here
also since lie might know what to
do about this boy of ours and the
wilful little girl in the next room.
1 didn't know one bit what to do.
Virginia and her opinion of "young
lrve" no longer influenced me "at all
•My old doubts of Neal and fear of the
hurt he might eause Phoebe faded
before the steady look in his eyes.
Me was Father Andrew's boy, arid i
believed in Neal completely now. The
unstable element in the situation was
Phoebe.
"Are you still in the army?." T asked
] as if that were what mattered.
"Nope got niy discharge a week
age." replied Neal.
"But you're still in uniform and
you haven't any red stripe."
"Officers don't wear red stripes.
[And I haven't the money to buy new
I clothes just now. Dad wanted to
stake ine, but 1 wouldn't iet him,"
explained Neal.
Then there flashed through mv
mind a picture of Phoebe gloating
over lieu jade necklace and crying
;lhat Shelly'd send her a whole gar
den of American Beauties now. What

Now, don't interrupt, Neal— t want
to ask n very personal question.
"Tell me, dear, when Father An

Neal stared at me for a moment
T wondered if he was furious and

LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow.
I frequently liave letters asking
i me to lay out a course of prolitablc
i reading. These generally offer.
I however, no hint as to the writers'
] tastes and inclinations, and the lipid
;is wide. "Of making many books
; there is no end," and innumerable
avenues lead out from even a small
| bookshelf. One correspondent may
I care most for poetry, another for
i books of travel, another for essays,
land so on. But there is one founda
j tion course for reading on which no
I one can go wrong. This is Amcri
j can history.
It is not so many years back that
| a so-called "intellectual" would have
| met the suggestion of American his-
Itory with a shrug of the shoulders,
j It had no claims of long descent;
j there was no picturesque back
i ground such as made interesting the
record of renaissance, feudal and
: ancient times. But we have changed
! all that. We are told now that the
four brief centuries of our story are
the most momentous in the history
of the world, the first century of
the United States as a Nation the
most signiticant to the human race
in the annals of mankind.
In the words of a noted foreign
historian, ours is a history of the
growth of civilization under condi
tions new to humanity, of the great
est effort for freedom and the
greatest experiment in democracy
ever made by man; if it taught
nothing—and it can teach the stu
dent almost everything—it would
still charm with the fascination of
romance.
The reader will find in it the an
swer to many questions agitating his

countrymen to-day, and he will in
sensibly be led on into many fascin
ating by-paths of research and in
struction
For American history, we are, as
a rule, offered merely the history
of the United States down from the
Revolutionary War, with, perhaps,
a short preliminary account ot the
discovery of America and the period
of colonization. But back of the
Revolution, in the era between 1492
and 1776, lies an enchanting and
inspiring story.
Here one may trace in the im
pulses which brought the peoples of
that time to an untamed continent
and in the reaction which the events
of the old world had upon the new,
those springs of thought and action
wnicli eventually created the Nation
and are still moulding and shaping
our destinies to-day, the sturdy
growth of that individualism which
thrived from learning to lean on
one's self and to wrest from the wil
derness a living and a home.
There is no surer way to breathe
in the romance of America or to
become familiar with the heroic Ag
in us of the era of adventure and ex
ploration—those men who found our
lakes and" rivers and left their names
upon them—than by reading the
histories of Francis Parkman. They
arc so luminously clear, so simply,
yet so fascinatingly written, that one
hates to lay a volume down.
For that matter, the. life" of Park
man itself is an inspiration, when
one recalls what lie accomplished
under dire difficulties. As a boy he
decided to write the history of the
French and Indian wms for he was
filled with the traditions of old days
in Maine and Massachusetts and the
region along the St. Law retire river.
Later, accompanied only by a
young cousin, he set out to follow
the Oregon Trail and cross the con
tinent, living most of the time dur
ing this adventure among the most
savage and warlike tiibes of Indians;
and when he returned from this
journey he was a physical wreck
suffering intensely throughout the
rest of his life with his eyes, unable
to write or to listen to reading for
more than half an hour at a time.
Yet he wrote a series of histories so
full of charm and romance that they
put fiction in the shade; while so
perfectly accurate is his chronicle
of events that other historians have
confidently drawn upon it.

same ground, only mote elaborately
and frhm a wider viewpoint, curry-
ing the story down to the actual
formation of the United States and
the drafting of the Constitution. He
said of his work:
"Never has the historian grappled
with another such epic theme, save
when Herodotus told the story of
Greece and Persia, and Gibbon's
pages resounded with the solemn
tread of marshalled hosts through
a thousand years of change.
The pages of these histories glow
with a living (ire, for our historians
not only took a new field, but a new
method, revoluloniztng the whole
plan of history writing. From the
impetus given by Fiske and Parkman
sprang that tremendous output of
historical novels which occurred
toward the end of the last century,
although I,ongfellow, Whittier and
Lowell had previously immortalized
much of our legend and story in
verse. •
We have also many admirable his
torians of a single, striking period,
notably Theodore Roosevelt's "The
Winning of the West," in which one
catches the initial stirring of that
marvellous march of development
across the American continent —a
dogged struggle of men with forests,
rivers, mountains, deserts on their
way to the We'st, and still toward
the West. They plodded on like Kip
ling's explorer, always hearing that
one everlasting whisper:
"Something hidden. Go and find it!
Something lost behind the ranges;
Lost, and waiting for you. Go!"
And they went, until they reached
the land of gold and the western
ocean, and then they turned back
again to knit the West to the East
and make us one Nation —to give
forever an answer to the question:
"Why am I an American?"
