"When a Girl Marries"
By ANN LISLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CLXXXVI
Thre hours of sleep, a bath, a shave
and a breakfast, consisting chiefly of
black coffee, sent Jim off to business
on our first morning at the Walgrave,
with at least a veneer of efficiency.
The events of the evening before
were over and done with, ai far as
he was concerned, and his attention
was focussed on the day ahead. But
that night seemed to spread its
shadow over my whole day.
I snapped at Ncal when he phoned
as he promised, but refused to meet
me or give me his address. The ef
fects of snapping were plain when
Neal cried:
"Look here Babbs—if you're going
to nag, I won't 'phone you at all."
Then he rang off, and I was left
to wonder if I must pursue Kvvy
again in order to get some word of
my brother.
Later in the morning, when Vir
ginia went with me to Tom Mason s
studio to select the furnishings for
our new apartment, I forgot to thank
him for the red roses that hail greet
ed us at the Walgrave. When Vir
ginia was across the studio studying
some Egyptian lamps, he whispered
meaningly:
"You got my roses? Red roses
for—the woman the white lilac lady
might be."
"I got them." I said coldly.
"I understand your not mention
ing them." Tom glanced toward
Virginia. "I wish I could jnake every
place you go fragrant with roses"—
"Stop!" X gasped. "Don't! I shouldn't
be here selecting our decorations ex
cept for James's faith in you. He's
your friend. Remember that."
"And I am YOUR friend. Remem
ber that. Don't act as if it were a
crime for a man to want to serve
you. I didn't chose to —like you.
I Just happened to whether I choose
or not. And I can no more help
longing to see you happy than I
can help loving the sunshine and
blue sky. There isn't much happi
ness in the world, but I'd like to
buy it all and give it to you. Donna
Anna."
Again there were harsh words on
my lips. I was on the verge of
repeating the words I had said that
night in Chinatown: "You are a cad,
and I know it now—know it for all
time." But Virginia's return stopped
me, and afterwards I was glad that
I had not snapped at Tom Mason
also in my tiredness and reawak
ened dread of Jim's gambling.
Half-heartedly I listened while
Tom and Virginia discussed the
rival merits of English and Italian
period furniture. This was my home
they were planning, but I was so
tired that I found no joy in ancient
robes and rare tapestries. I didn't
care what went into my home, so
only I got out of Tom Mason's stu
dio. This wasn't 'nest building.' Jim
ought to be with me.
"All right. We'll do the walls in

carpets and the sitting-room in orchid
and Nile and my room in lavender
and the dining-room in brown and
gold—but I can't work out the de
tails to-day. I have to get over to
the apartment," I cried at last.
And so I escaped and left Virginia
to help "work out the details" whicli
were later to be submitted to Jim.
Then I rushed out to the apart
ment, where Mrs. O'Callaghan was
deep in her cleaning. And I began
unpacking the trunks and boxes we
had brought with us from Tom Ma
son's studio. My mind was in a
turmoil. Why did Tom Mason act
as if 1 needed his friendship? The
very assumption seemed as disloyal
to Jim as the compliments Tom in
sisted on paying me.
"I'll only see him when I abso
lutely can't help it." I told myself
emphatically. "lie bothers me.
We'll get the house done and then
I can cut myself off from him.
Thank goodness we aren't living in
his apartment any more—and I
don't have to be haunted by him
and that blue robe of his all the
time. I've left that behind, and I
can leave him behind, too. Getting
rid of the robe is a sort of a sym
bol." '
I lifted the top tray off an old
packing trunk. There—winging up
at me maliciously, lay the robe.
Its blue and grays shimmered and
shone. And for the first time, there
in the garish daylight of our many
windowed, uncurtained livingroom,
high up over the road, I noticed that
as those blues and greens melted
into each other they traced a faint
pattern like peacock feathers.
"Bad luck!" 1 cried, and shivered
a bit. "Oh, Jim—Jim, how could
you pack this up and bring it along?
How could you?"
Then our untried phone rang for
the first time. I rushed over and
lifted it from the floor.
"Hello—that you, Anne?" Jim's
voice was irritable and weary. "I'm
in the deuce of a hurry. Cosby just
phoned from the station, from where
he's dashing up-State, that his wife
telegraphed she'd arrive to-morrow
afternoon. He wants to give her a
little welcome home dance at Car
lier's —fancy dress —swell. Get 'em
to turn the place loose for Saturday
night. Expense no object. Cosby's
given me a list of the people he
wants her to meet, so I'll bring
home the invitations to-night and
we'll fill in the names. Now, forget
to be a miser and do this right.
For once in your life help me in
business—Cosby means money to
me. See you at 7. S'long."
Instinctively, the moment Jim
rang off I hurried to the big pack
ing trunk, lifted out the blue robe
and let its shimmering length fall
across my throat and arms to the
floor. I had meant to leave the
robe behind us, but Jim had brought
it along.
Why shouldn't I wear it to Valcrio
Cosby's dance?

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY

CHAPTER LXWI.
As the two sisters left the break
fast table the following morning the
postman's whistle sounded, and Ho
nora went to the front door to take
the mail from him.
There was one letter for Mrs. Hig
gins and one for Honora. This last
was addressed in Arthur Bruce's
handwriting. Instinctively the recip
ient turned the address down before
anyone else could see it.
At that instant the telephone bell
rang, and Mildred answered it. From
her tone her sister was aware that
she was receiving some communica
tion that pleased her.
"Yes, this is Mildred. Oh, good
morning! Oh, thank you Mrs. Hil
ton. You are very kind! I shall be
delighted to come. You are very
good to think of such an insignifi
cant small person as myself."
What pretty manners Milly had
when she wanted to make a pleas
ant impression, Honora inused. Peo
ple could not help liking her. Even
her employer, seeing her day in and
day out, thought that sbe was a
warm-hearted, well-bred little crea
ture—while his wife was ready to
make quite a pet of the child. Her
bearing and her face would win her
friends anywhere—always suppos
ing she thought them worth win
ning.
When ghe hung up the receiver
Mildred came forward, her face
wreathed in smiles.
"Isn't this good luck!" she exclaim
ed. "Mrs. Hilton has aslted me to
come there to a quiet family dinner
to-night at 7 o'clock. Just the four
of us —herself and Mr. Hilton, Har
old Hilton and me."
"That's lovely," Honora comment
ed. "I am sure you will have a de
lightful evening."
"I am sure I will, too. Anyone
will have a good time when Harold
Hilton's around. I don't believe his
wound has changed him much."
"I hope not," Honora rejoined.
She did not know just what to say.
Yes. she was glad that Mildred was
so happy.
A New hove
"Well," the younger girl continued
with a giggle of gratified vanity,
"when I thanked Mrs. Hilton for in
viting such an insignificant small
person as myself, she said that not
only did she and lie r husband want
me, but that there was a certain
young man who was looking forward
eagerly to meeting me again. That

was rather a nice way of putting it,
wasn't it?"
"Very nice," I lon or a agreed. "Mrs.
Hilton is always kind and gracious."
"She certainly is—lots nicer than
Mrs. Bruce ever could be. Now, one
would not mind being in the Hilton
family—but to have Airs. Bruce as
an In-law of any kind would be more
than 1 could stand. Not"—she added
as she saw a change come over her
sister's face—"that I am counting on
being Mrs. Hilton's niece-in-law. I
only happened to think of her In that
connection."
"It would be rather early to antic
ipate that kind of thine." Honora
commented drily.
She wanted to read the letter that
she still held closely in her hand,
but Mildred followed her up to her
room.
"It is time we were getting off to
work," the younger girl said. "But
I want you to tell what to wear
to the Hilton's to-night. I want to
look my best, you know."
"Yes, but you do not want to be
overdressed for a quiet home din
ner," Honora reminded her. "Why
not put on that pretty light-gray
and silver frock? That has long
sleeves, and yet it is open at the
throat, and is very becoming."
"All right; I guess that will be just
about the right thing." the other
acquiesced.
Going to her bureau, she laid out
a pair of silk stockings to match her
gray gown.
"You will have time to do all that
this afternoon," her sister suggested.
As she saw that Mildred was de
termined to take her time about the
proceeding, she put on her own hat
and coat and hurried from the house.
A Note From Arthur
But she had to defer the reading
of her letter until she reached the
office. For she had not gone a half
block before she heard Mildred run
ning to overtake her.
"Why didn't you wait for me?"
the latter chided. "I hate walking
down alone."
She fell into step with Honora,
and did not stop chattering until
she parted from her at the door of
the building in which were Mr. Pear
son's offices.
And the subject of the entire dis
course was Harold Hilton. It was
evident that he occupied all of Mil
dred's horizon this morning.
Arthur Bruce's note to Honora was
brief.
It reminded her that he must leave
for camp before long and asked her
to give him the opportunity of call
ing on her as soon as possible.
"I want to see you," he wrote.
"When can we have an uninterrupted
talk?"
Honora remembered with gratitude
that Mildred was to be away from
home this evening. She was glad not
to have to resort to any planning or
subterfuge to have an interview with
Arthur.
In the few minutes in which she
waited for the arrival of her em
ployer she wrote a hasty note and

dropped it in the roailchuto in the
hall. The contents were meager, but
sufficient. They simply said that the
writer would be at home this evening
and glad to receive her possible call
er at 8 o'clock.
Then she went about her work,
trying not to be too glad that each
hour that passed brought the eve
ning—and her visitor —nearer.

Miners Awarded Back
Pay Due Since 1917
Ha/.leton, Pa., May 3.—Under a
decision handed down to-night by
Charles P. Neill, of Washington, um
pire of the Anthracite Conciliation
"Watchful Waiting
A Bad Coal Policy
Should coal consumers adopt "a waiting for a more
favorable time" attitude, and not buy coal in sum
mer, there will be a repetition of the coal famine of
1917.
Let us not forget the suffering and worry and sick
ness that came down upon many Harrisburg families
two winters ago, when everybody wanted coal at once
and would have paid any price to get it.
Don't wait and get caught in the fall and winter tl coal
rush." If you wait till fall or winter, you will have
to pay higher prices, but, what is worse, you may not
be able to get coal at all when you need it most.
The quality of the coal shipped in summer is so
much better than you get in winter that it is worth
your while to fill your bins, even should there be
no advance In price. However,, prices will advance
at least 50c per ton during the summer.
