Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCLXXXIX

A minute after 1 had asked
Daisy to drop in when her day
at the office was finished 1 regretted
the impulse which has swept me
to the telephone. 1 recognized it
for just what it was —my own fond
ness for playing the role of "Fairy
Godmother" as 1 call it, or "Mrs.
Fix-It," to quote Jim.
I had been displeased by the cav
alier way in which Carl Booth call
ed oil his dinner engagement with
Daisy when he distovered that Jim
and I couldn't come. I that it
wasn't fair to Daisy, who might
reasonably expect him to keep his
engagement with her. And when
Carl insisted on running in to see
how I was feeling 1 almost auto
matically proceeded to arrange to
have Daisy here too.
But now that 1 had let myself in
for the situation. 1 didn't see what
I was going to do with it.
Carl arrived first —which was not
what I'd been counting on. He
brought an enormous box of peon
ies, that I felt had been obtained by
false representations.
"They're wonderful!" I exclaimed,
"But I've no right to them or the
consideration you in post
poning your party. 1 might have
managed to hobble out. I did last
nifdit."
"All the more reason why you
should take it easy and let the ankle
rest to-day. You always were a little
brick about grinning and bearing
tilings, Barbara Anno. Do be care
ful of yourself now. I hate to think
of your suffering."
1 made a little move to cover my
own consciousness that Carl was be
ing melodramatic about a trifle, a
tendency he'd never shown in the
old days.
"I'm making a fuss now and about
nothing," I said airily. "If I were
still a poor working girl I'd be hob
bling off daily to my job. But I'm a
pampered darling."
"I'm glad he's so good to you,"
said Carl, with unnecessary empha
sis. and then a pert little voice in
terrupted as Daisy appeared hesi
tatingly in the doorway:
"Once a darling, always a dar
ling" . . . she said with seem
ing inconsequence that told me nev
ertheless that she'd been listening
for a minute or so. "Do 1 intrude?
The niaid said come right in."
Daisy's face was flushed and her
usually dull eyes were alight. She
looked excited, and her momentary
color gave her a vividness that was
almost beauty. Then she faded
again to lier usual drab tans, which
were further accented by the yel
low linen dress she wore. Yellow
seemed to be Daisy's favorite color,
and nothing could have been less
becoming.
"Please come right in and find
yourself the sort of chair that will
make you want to settle down for a
real visit," I said, wondering if I i
had dreamed the flash of annoyance

| that seemed to dart across Carl's
. | face.
| "I think I'll stay until your hand
-1 | some husband conies home, any
, j way," replied Daisy with a toss of
her head.
Our conversation Jerked and
creaked along for the next half
hour. Daisy was alternately sullen
and insolent. Her air of indiffer
ence to Carl's existence was over
done and lie was obviously annoyed
either by it or by her. The less
pleased Carl appeared, the more
Daisy swept herself along into her
i awkward efforts to impress him
i j with the idea that he didn't matter
i the least in the world to her. Her
: ungraciousness and sullenncss filled
i me with vague jsity for a time. Then
. they began to make me uneasy, to
j bore and annoy. Her soggy sullen-
I ness seemed to hold a threat and
j a menace. I made up my mind that
I would discontinue my misdirected
efforts to help this dull and mali
| cious little grain of dust.
1 might have carried out my
plans. But Just then something
occurred which made it necessary
for me to keep Daisy Condon in
my lite whether I wanted her there
or no.
Exuding well-being and delight,
Jim walked into the room. As he
greeted the visitors he laid a litile
white box on the console table
standing between the windows.
And Daisy, who seemed bound to
do every awkward, ill-bred thing
in the calendar, cried with a tell
ing glance at Jim.
P' 1 , that looks Just like a ring
box! Have you brought any one a
present. Mr. Harrison?"
That,' said Jim with careless in
solence. "is our new ice chest."
Carl flashed a glance at Daisy
which said Jim had served her just
| right. Daisy turned an ugly brick
red and fairly squirmed. In a rao
j ment I was sorry for her again, so
I to relieve the tension I said:
| "Let's see the new ice-chest Jim."
Oh, wait till later," he replied
In a tone clearly suggesting his real
meaning. 'Wait till we're alone."
But I caught his eyes and con
veyed my insistence by a glance
and Jim rose and brought me the
little while box, standing awkward
ly by my side while I unwrapped
and opened it. Then I gasped and
wished that I had waited until we
were alone. For lying on a bed of
velvet was the first gift of jewels
Jim had given me since our mar
riage—an exq uir'te pearl with a
pule pink luster that lighted its
creamy smoothness. The pearl was
. large, a perfect little globe, and
was set in a rim of platinum carved
into a diamond-set hexagon which
held the pearl.
"Oh, Jim!" I cried stirred al
most to tears. "Jim! Dear—it's so
j lovely!"
j Our eyes met and clung. There
was no need of words. Then al
most as if my glance was pried
i from his and summoned to meet
hers. I found myself staring into
I Daisy's pale, darlc-lashed eyes. For
I a moment their expression puzzled
, me. Then I read it clearly and plain
ly. It held two things—envy, bit
ter, burning envy—and hatred. j
1 glanced down at the wonderful |
jewel on my finger. Daisy's yearly
salary would not pay for it.
W hen I turned to the girl again,
she was staring at her own ring
j less fingers.

HOPE FOR ACTION
ON NEW HOSPITAL
Wish Expressed That City
and County Will Get To
gether Soon
Before the conference of the State
Health officials, the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, the city and
county commissioners and the city and
county solicitors dispersed at the Har
risburg Club yesterday, William Jen
nings, who presided, expressed the
hope that the city and county offic
ials would determine the question of
the contagious disease hospital In the
near future. . Thomas W. Jackson.
| assistant to Health Commissioner
I Martin, outlined in a practical ad-
I dress the necessity for such a hospital
j and indicated the desire of the health
| authorities of the State to make Har
| risburg an ideal community from the
health standpoint. He discussed in a
I brief way the character of thebuild
j ing required, its location, the neces
-1 sary capacity, the class of cases to be
I taken in and other details.
Colonel John L, McLean, deputy
I commissioner of health, still further
j emphasized the making of Harrisburg
j a model city in provisions for the
! health of the people as an example
j for the rest of the State.
Charles A. Emerson, Jr., chief en
gineer of the State Health Depart
| ment, submitted a plan and design for
I the contemplated hospital here and
pointed out that it could be erected
in units and wings added as needed
in the future. His plan provides for
a fireproof building and a site near
the Almshouse is believed to be ideal
for the purpose.
County Commissioner Wells pledged
the support of the Board of County
Commissioners in any plan of co-op
eration which might be adopted and
there was a general feeling througli
|out the conference that a definite de
cision would be reached in the near
future.
The report submitted at the confer
ence suggests adequate provision
should be made for private cases,
where patients may be treated by
their own physicians, who should be
required, of course, to comply with
all rules and regulations of the in
stitution. This would be a source of
revenue and an aid to maintenance
and would serve to prevent the use
of the objectionable term "almshouse
hospital."
The blueprint plan submitted is for
a 200-bed hospital and the estimated
cost $.100,000 is for a hospital of that
size. It is believed, however, that a
smaller institution, for say 100 pa
tients would serve the present pur
pose of Harrisburg and Dauphin coun
ty, and that one wing of the hospital
as planned, extending to, but not in
cluding the central portion of the
building, could be omitted for the
present and added later as the neces
sity for more rooms arises. It is es
timated that this omission would re
duce the cost of construction by at
least one-third of the estimated
amount.
CITY'S CASH BALANCE
Expenditures by city departments
during August totaled $81,280.97 ac
cording to the monthly report of City
Treasurer Weber. Receipts were $54,-
067.64, balance August 1, $466,706.95
and balance September 1, $439,493.62.
TO OPEN BIOS
Bids for the construction of a new
bridge across the Wiconlsco creek,
near Millersburg will be opened in a
few weeks by the County Commis
sioners.
GRACE CHURCH TO j
HAVE GOOD MUSIC
New Choirmaster Preparing!
Vested Choir For Organ

1 ; • <. . f i , .
BERNARD R. MAUSERT
Bernard R. Mausert, of New York,
newly appointed organist and choir
master of Grace Methodist Chureii,
who recently arrived In this city
will begin his work of organizing a
large vested choir at once. As before,
the choir will be assisted by a solo
quartet. The magnificent organ,
which is to be installed in the church,
will not be ready for use for at least
another month, but in the meantime,
the new organist hopes to bring up
the chorus to a standard in keepyig
with the possibilities of the great in
strument and the other aims the
wide-awake church organizat^i.
All former members of the
as nearly as possibly, are being no
tified of the resumption of activities
and are requested to meet for rehear
sal on Saturday evening of this week
at 7.30 at the church. Plans will be
outlined and a permanent organiza
tion formed. Rendition of well known
notable cantatas and special musical
services will be a feature of the
choir's work.
An invitation has been extended to
young singers of the city, as well as
to those more experienced, to become
affiliated with what promises to be
one of the leading choirs of the city.

cessful experience in the training of I
choirs and it Is expected that the mu
sic of Grace Church will become an
increasingly attractive feature of the
highly interesting and devotional ser
vices of this church.
As Mr. Mausert has as yet no per
manent address, applications for the
l.ew choir may be mailed to him to P.
O. Bex 1255, city. Male voices !n par
ticular are desired.
Grocers Lay Blame on
Fanners For High Costs
Philadelphia, Sept. 3. Philadel
phia wholesale grocers, at a meeting
yesterday to discuss the high cost
of living, asserted that farmers' or
ganizations are one of the chief
causes of high food prices.
Through the action of Congress in
exempting them from antitrust laws,
it was said, these organizations have
assumed the proportions of trusts of
the worst sort and fix prices arbi
trarily. As an example of what they
said farmers' organizations are do
ing, the California association of
raisin growers, that has boosted the
producer's price of raisins 15 cents
a pound, was cited.
At the conclusion of the meeting
the grocerymen authorized appoint
ment of a committee of nine persons
to go to Washington and assist the
Federal Government in running
down profiteers. The committee is
empowered to spend all the money
necessary in order to accomplish re
sults.

NEARLY READY
TO CELEBRATE
New Cumberland on Edge For!
Coming Welcome to
Soldiers
Plans'are rapidly materializing in I
the preparation tor New Cumber-1
land's big welcome home celebraton |
next Saturday. So as to make the j
affuir the best possible, the general |
committee has issued a request ask- j
ng that every home in the town and j
suburb display the national colors
and follow out some scheme of dec- •
oration. The statement from the
service men's committee in charge I
of plans for hte day is that all is |
rounding into readiness for the big;
time. Decision has been reached I
as to tjie proper method to be cm- j
ployed in recognizing the soldier dead i
in line of parade. Attention is again j
called to the fact that the town's
service men will meet in front of I
the New Cumberland National Bank |
at 12.45 p. m. of the day of the J
celebration. A personal appeal lias j
gone out to every soldier and sailor,
on the town's honor roll, urging |
them to be present in unform in |
the parade.
Among the many organizations
planning for the day, the Citizens'
Hose Company is probably foremost. !
Harry Hummel has been chosen as j
their marshal. They have already
placed four huge pillars to the front;
of the tire house about which will j
be erected a handsome welcome
home arch.
The decorative committee which
has the general decoration for the
town in charge became quite uctive
last evening in starting to put up
many of the decorations which have |
been purchased for the occasion. !
Some weeks ago the town, by vol- |
untary contribution, raised SI,OOO to;
be used in putting this celebration !
"over the top." As the time ap- I
proaches for the occasion there is!
every evidence that the money is'
being wisely and judiciously spent. I
Excepting the parade, the big I
drawing card will lie th e baseball I
game between the Klein Chocolate
Co. and Williamsport.. Many fans |
made it a point to see the" Klein |
people play against Cincinnati on!
the island last Friday. Since seeing I
their keen playing in that game |
there is no doubt that there will be !
a big crowd presont at the game in
