"When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems o£ a Girl Wife Chapter CCV (Copyrighted. 1919, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) When Neal passed the restaurant the day 1 was lunching with Anthony Norreys 1 was helpless, and 1 knew it. I couldn't lean out across the bal cony and shout to Neal, *.nd there wasn't the slightest hope that Evvy would call his attention to my pres ence, or that he'd do anything moie than bow even if she did. So 1 had to let mv brother get away from me again, and I didn't even know where he was living. I.ater m the afternoon, when Tony and 1 had talked our till about Bet ty's happiness and the bravery that was keeping unhappiness at bay, end he had gone back to work I put my pride in my pocket and tele phoned Evvy. 1 wanted news of Neal, so 1 was prepared to let her gloat over me if only she'd tell me how to get in touch with him. But Evvy wasn't home. I left word for her to telephone me that evening or the next morning. Evvy did neither, but early the next morning the clerk at the Wal grave announced, "Miss Mason call ing." "Send her up," X replied, with mixed emotions. 1 didn't expect to enjoy Evvy's \isit, but I thought it might prove useful to me. I was right—and wrong. As soon as our tirst greet ings were exchanged, Evvy got down to business. She had taken off her smart sable scarf and seemed ab sorbed in patting the fur to absolute sleekness as she spoke in her throaty, little voice: "is that distinguished - looking man you were lunching with yes terday the latest, Anne?" "What do you mean?" I demand ed. "Oh, don't play Puritan with me!" Evvy's voice was amused, and she gave, me a fleeting glance at her eyes'before they dropped again to a study of the scarf.- "I'm not playing anything." I re- ' plied, smoothly. "I want to know.

"My j dear, don't pretend that you're un conscious of the sad fact that since j the charming married women mo ' nopolize the bachelors, the debu | tantes have to put up with the neg i lected husbands.

If you don't see where you're driving that dear boy the way you're carrying on—well, it's time a real friend told you." "Evvy! You're insulting. I won't listen;" I cried, wondering if women ordered other women out of their apartments anywhere except on the stage. Evvy rose, and her voice had an injured, husky sweetness when she spoke again; "Anne, you act as if we had to mince words. Don't I know there isn't a particle of harm in you! But you drive men to distraction with the warmth of your eyes and hair, and the coldness of your mouth and manner. Tom's mad about you —and you freeze him. And our dear, unstable, reckless, boyish Jim mie—don't you see what you're do ing to him?" "Evvy;" I cried in real distress this tihie. "What do you mean? Sit down and tell me." "I mean this, Anne Harrison! Jim has to have his own way or think he's getting it. I didn't un derstand that, so I broke with him long ago.

"And I'm told that this Mrs. Cosby is warm and alluring and young. Do be careful, Anne, ani if you have any trumps—play them." "Are you actually trying to do me a good turn?" I asked, revealing my attitude clearly before I real ized it. "Yes I am —though you may not believe it," said Evvy more con vincingly than she had ever spoken before. "I saw Jim and the Cosby woman at the Breakwater Inn Sat urday night drinking vlchy as if it were nectar. I'd come over from our country place with Neal. He Was staying the weekend with us. How that nice boy did wince when he say his sister's husband playing the devoted to a beautiful woman! Now, how do you think he'd have felt if he'd seen you yesterday with your gaunt cavalier?

HAKRISBUR® FI6BK TELEGRAPH: Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax An old gentleman with whom I once crossed on an ocean steamer told a group of us that he hqd paid four thou . sand dollars for a little English cot tage for which he had no other use ' whatever save merely to get the knocker !on the front door. | When the amazement, polite and other | wise, had subsided, he withdrew his j credentials for membership in the | Ananias Club by adding that the ! knocker vin question was the famous j "Brazenose" that once adorned the j outer door of the college of that name 'at Oxford. And "Brazenose" wanted its antediluvian knocker which had j been stolen and lost for a century or ' so and was willing to pay for its re turn. I have never verified the story, and very probably would have forgotten it altogether it a semi-famous American in the group had not said: "I have a little knocker in my home that I would give four thousand dollars to get rid of." | And us his wife and daughters were j not aboard, the rest of us did not know | whether he was only joking, or if he i did actually number one of these house j hold pests among his immediate fam ily. However, there are plenty of j families that would cheerfully part with I four thonsand dollars to wave a long farewell to the demosticated knocker that is always curdling the joy of liv- J ing, and regard the release as cheap at j ilie price. Hammer-Throwers Among the Fair If you study the knocker on his native hearth-rug you will discover that he or she—for there are some marvelous ha'mmer-throwers among the fair—has never a creative personality. He or she is kept entirely busy in wrecking the creations, aspirations, hopes, gifts and joys of every one who comes within the radius of the trusty little hammer, j The knocker is the original "Blighter" j whose sole joy consists in picking flaws in some one's else achievements, and telling how things reallv should have been done. The knocker is lavishly ] ' gifted with hindsight—if he possesses foresight he never applies it—the finished product is his delight, it offers more scope for his hammer. When the family knocker is the head of the house, he runs for his trusty lit tle implement every time his wife gets a new gown, and with eyes glowing with reul missionary zeal he hastens to tell her that she dresses "too young for a woman of her age." If she has anticipated this knock by getting the oldest, saddest, most down-hearted crea tion in the semi-mourning department, he is still prepared with a knock or two. Isn't the thing too short? or a bit low in the neck? or isn't a trifle too scanty as to cut? or doesn t it re semble that old thing Mrs. Dubb has been wearing for the past three years. And that settles it. Mrs. Dubb is the synonym for all that is frumpish the way of clothes, and his wife now loathes her new gown to such a degree that his final knock about its utter extrava gance fails to bring a reaction. Daughter's Gown Too Old If it is daughter that is being pilloried on account of her new gown, the ham mer strokes are reversed and he informs her that the gown is "entirely too old for a girl of her age." It is also too long and too high about the ears and he'll stand none of that vampire sug gestion about her clothes. He will have her understand that she is his daughter and not Theda Bara. It is the same way about everything else. If the wife sings, she is off the key or flat, or sharp, or the last time he heard that thing, Mary Garden sang it and it seems almost a desecration, etc And by the time his wife has dis covered that he knows nothing at all about music, her spirit is broken and she does not want to sing. But sometimes it is the wife and mother who is the knocker in the home, and her gentle and incessant tap, tap, tap may be heard on every subject from father's Increasing waist *° the curtains in the next-door house, which are imitation, while real She loves her husband dearly, but she considers it her sacred duty to tell him of his faults, particularly at meals, where he may sit as a horrible example to the children. _ ' She finds fault with everything from the tobacco he smokes to the way he cuts his hair.

" 'l3 N. 4th St Life's Problems Are Discussed By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow I There was a neat pile of unopened l letters on my desk, and just as 1 reach ed for the paper cutter to unseal them I said to myself: "I know what is in every one of them. I one form or another they will all contain the appeal: 'Please, Madam Spider, sitting weaving your web of words, tell us how we may win our heart's desire.' One of them will ex press the longing for companionship; another asks only success and how to gain it; a third will yearn for the love which is withheld, and a fourth could reach the stars if only he .were able to to obtain the necessary education." Yet in every unsatisfied longing lies the seed of accomplishment. We wouldn't want whatever our hearts are set on if it were not in our power to se cure it. But the trouble with most of us is that we see only one way to "Fortune's happy gate." We concede that all roads lead to Rome, but we ignore the lanes and the by-paths which are open to ua and fix our gaze solely on that one highway which has a hedge between us and it so high, that we cannot climb over. A woman told me a story of her own experiences which illui trates this fact. She said that as a young girl she went to a large city to cultivate her voice. She knew no one, the few peo ple whom in time she met did not at tract her, and she was desperately lonely. This led to acute homesickness. She began to lose interest in her studies; her voice, even her health was affected by her mental state, and she was many times on the verge of giving up and go ing home. But her pride was involved and she tried to stick it out. As a recourse from this depression, she followed a quaint little impulse and began to write a letter a day to an im aginary friend. And gradually she found the composition of these letters so absorbing that she forgot all about being lonely. She had dreaded going alone and walking the streets, and she had dreaded even more remaining in her room. But now that feeling passed. After her lesson was over and when she was not practicing, she had something to do that interested her. She took the greatest pains with those letters, trying to make them natural and charming and full of color and incident. She related bits of her past life, the happenings of her present. She describ ed her new impressions, the things she saw and heard, the people she encoun tered. Then came the desire to answer these letters, so she created a correspondent whose communications raust be. of course, in an entirely different vein. This correspondent, she decided, should be a traveller, and consequently she be gan to study maps and books of travel. She kept this up. During thp time that elapsed, she had made several con genial acquaintances. To a few of them she showed her letters, and finally one who was connected with a magazine urged her to try her hand at fiction. She did so, began to sell her stories and ultimately found her career switched from one form of expression to quite another. As It turned out, her guardian angel must have known what he was about; for her voice, after a good deal of time spent in its cultivation, proved to be nothing remarkable. The main point, however, is tha she got to "Rome—not along the highway upon which she had set out to travel, but by a little, winding path which caught her fancy. Suppose that she had ignored that impulse to write the imaginary letters, she would have stupidly crushed an un suspected talent. She was not taking any time from You Can Beautify your Complexion —and rid the skin of un sightly blemishes, quicker and surer, by putting your blood, stomach and liver in good order, than in any other way.
