"When a Girl Marries" Br ANN LISI.E A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife By AXX LISI.E (Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn dicate, Inc.) CHAPTER CCCIX When the boy ushered -mo into Jim's office I didn't find him alone. With him was the dear old soul I had first met at Valerie Cosby's a few days before. "Why, it's Uncle Ned!" 1 called out, as instinctively as if Mr. Pete tingill were my kinsman or a life long friend. "1 am glad to see you. How's Aunt Mollie?" While I was speaking I planted a kiss on the top of Jim's head in an unembarrassed fashion I'm not in the habit of feeling or showing when strangers are about. And Uncle Ned's shrewd, keen, intensely blue • yes enveloped me in the same warm, approving fashion the big hand showed when it swallowed mine in greeting. "My bride's right smart," he said "She's tripsing about with our Val to-day. And she tells me you had a wonderful time yesterday in that little car you drive like a regular expert. I guess you three gals cal culate to have some pretty good times together while we camp on this trail." "We do." I replied. "We do, in deed! Aunt Mollie didn't have one bit better time yesterday than I did, and to-morrow we're going to do it again." "No, you aren't; not just precise ly the same." said Uncle Ned, strok ing his white mustache. "To-mor row I'm going to desert the boys for the gals, and you'll find an ex tra passenger for your partv and your car. So long, children.

And with a courtly bow for each of us he seized his wide gray soft ! hat and made for the door. Jim flung himself to his feet ,at once j and took his guest out. When he returned he made me a little bow in friendly imitation of 1 Uncle Ned's, straightening up ab ruptly with wry smile for his own awkwardness. "No use. I don't belong to the | 'splendid old school' and I can't cope with Uncle Ned. Isn't he a wonder?" he demanded, adding with a little tweak of my ear. "And now, Mrs. Harrison, will you tell me to what I am indebted for the pleasure and honor of your com pany? Have you the little car out side? It's a bit early, but I may be ; able to start before long." ( "No," I replied careless of the car which once gave me so much joy. "I found yesterday that it still hurts my ankle to drive. So after I've keut to-morrow's < engagement with those two old dears 1 can't disappoint I'm not going to use ! the car again for a week or so. I i had lunch with your little field daisy and I came here to find out ! about your visit from her." Jim looked at me searchingly, his eyes seeming to pry into my inner most thoughts. "If she told you about it, why I bring it up again?" he said. "Just because she told me"—l began. !

I've done nothing to justify the little goose in thinking, in supposing—Oh. hang it all. 1 j didn't want her breaking in here. • and 1 think she saw that in short ; order." As the light of Jim's words dawned on me 1 gave a mental gasp, and did some arithmetic of the sort known as putting two and two to gether. Of course, when Daisy spoke i of trying to retaliate and gasped ; out that she couldn't take what was , mine. I thought of my ring—not of I my husband. When she told me that j she'd been to Jim's office, I thought j it was to restore the ring—not to try to steal Jim! But his words made it clear. Last night, over the bridge table I where Daisv and Jim discovered in | playing for stakes their tirst taste j in common, she had met him as an equal. For the first time Jim had been cordial to her —respectful, even, as he measured her truly expert game against my blundering one. And that had given the girl her idea. Her "retaliation!" had been an effort to "vamp" Jim from me, as she insisted on thinking I was taking Carl from her. "You think I'm spying on you. You think I'm jealous of that little grain of dust—of my poor Kate's j sister!" 1 cried. "No. Jim, it wasn't a doubt of my boy that brought me to him. It was something entirely different." "Yes? What?" demanded Jim cat egorically. I thought quickly. This was neither the occasion nor the set ting for a clean breast about my suspicions of Daisy and the ring. "I came to tell you that we've just taken it upon ourselves to stand sponsor for the child," I said. "When I had her in Tom's new stu dio the other day he offered to put her in my charge. He needs some one he can trust, so he'll be free to stay at his downtown shop. And he 'waived bond on my assurance that we'd be responsible for her." "Oh, he did?" said Jim tartly. "And about next week I suppose you'll be going bond for your other friend of olden days to the tune of j about fifty though. I don't get you. | Anne. You're so darn rash and j careless these days. Almost ex- j travagant. 1 call it." H ARRISBURG TELEGRAPH I threw back my bead and i laughed heartily and unaffectedly. "Extravagant? I? Why, Jimmie- ! boy, you've always teased me about ! being such a little tightwad. Anil i if I take a little gamble on old; friends is that half as bad as , gambling on cards and horses?" Jim didn't condescend to answer. J He turned to his desk and swung! round with a sheaf of papers in his | hand. "I'll #Jt call you tightwad again! in a hurry, worse luck," he mum- | bled fumbling among the papers j and thrusting certain ones at me j vindictively. "Here's your bill from | Wickham's, one from the shoe place ' and another from the garage where j you're willing to have your car eat; its head off in storage because i you're too lazy to drive it. Put a ! beggar on horseback." His voice trailed off. I felt as j if Jim had dealt me a blow. To lb- Continued Advice to the Lovelorn AX INDIGNANT LOVER. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been engaged since the first of the year, For the past few months my financee has tried sev eral times to make engagements with other men. She excuses herself i by saying that she cannot forget ' her former acquaintances, but that I ; 'here men, will disappear in duel time. Still, as soon as one passes j on another appears. I am not seek- I ing sympathy, but advice. What I , desire to know is whether her ac- | tions will keep up after our mar- j rir.ge and what chances I am tak ing. M. I I haven't any way of knowing i whether you financoe's conduct has been reprehensible. Perhaps it has. But I must confess that your own course invites criticism. I don't see how any young woman can tol erate your attitude of suspicion and j distrust. if you have an actual I grievance against her "have it out" j with her. Otherwise, show that you I respect her and have confidence in I her. For my own part t cannot see that any disloyalty to you is involv ed in her seeing other old friends oc casionally, since your engagement is known, but that is a matter young engaged couples have to decide for themselves. The thing for you to do is talk this over thoroughly with your bethrotiied. If she agrees to your restrictions, you should prom ise what she asks of you in return. RUMORIST!

Wegner, j head of the Municipal Employment Bu i reau of Paterson. N. J., announced that • lit had been commissioned by a "lone j some widower with nine children" to i find a wife for him. I This bit of news was very widely J copied in the daily papers, and at last i accounts three women were sitting in I Mr. Wegner's office anxiously awaiting i the advent of the ready-made family | that was expected to call en masse, j The picture of three ladies sitting j in the Municipal Employment Bureau, I awaiting the choice of the "lonesome widower." is more suggestive of the pre-historic days of "The Judgment of Paris" and the ensuing Trojan war. than Twentieth Century America, where the t'. S. Senate decided, a week or so ago, that all women should be given equal political rights. A school teacher once told me that girl children could be depended upon to remember the origin of the Trojan war better than boy pupils. Girls al ways seem to feel that a war fought over the good- looks of three women j and the fascinations of a fourth, was ' essentially a girl's war. "The amazing part of it is that hu- I man nature goes on reproducing it ! self apparently on tlte same old model, j In the earliest dawn of creation, so i long ago that it is impossible to dis- I et: tangle the real from the legendary, j we have three women squabbling over | which shall take a beauty prize—a gol | den apple Inscribed: "For the Fair j est." The Same Mystical Number "Eons and eons of time pass, and we j still have the same mystical number I of women sitting in Mr. Wegner's mu nicipal office, awaiting the arrival of a widower to make a choice. Shall we always have a few women of this type, women who are willing to accept the hazards of matrimony with ! an unknown man—not to mention the nine children—rather than face the more modern method of taking chances j with a job? | Xo, in spite of the apparent parallel j heteween the beautiful shepherd Paris, j passing judgment on the respective | good looks of the goddesses Juno.

J.. awaiting the I judgment of the widower with the nine I children, it would seem we are going I to have less and less of this "hand-me- I down" romance as time goes on. j Women do not "marry for homes" to-day with anything like the fre- quency they •litl even a generation ago, while the most casual survey of the earlier Victorian novels shocks us by the extent to which this was done in her day. A group of women, riding home from 'he funeral of a neigh bor's wife, calmly discuss her succes sor and canvass about for her among the spinsters of their acquaintance. Women's Only Career In those days there was no other career open to a single woman but that of a "hanger-on" in the household of soqie married relative ; and the amount of work that these women did without compensation of any sort was appall ing.

Such social conditions have been at the bottom of women's underpaid work j and have made women's work one of I the most difficult elements of adjust- j ment in the labor market in the past. It is curious to think of thts oxplolta- j tion of an entire sex, on genera- | tion after generation, and the exploit- I ers being the women of their own fam- j dies. One does not have to be very old to recall the faithful spinster aunt ! who did everything about a house that i everyone else left undone. She nursed ' the sick, site sewed, she did all the pickling and preserving, and some times she was rewarded with a cast- ! off garment or a pair of shoes. A sort of humorous pity hung about ! her. because she had missed the only I successful career open to women in i tl esc days—marriage. All the coarse i fun of the playwright to get married i and exchange her unpaid slavery for , a "home of her own."
